A truly brave and brilliant story to explore and overcome different situation of life especially when the world does not consider as 'normal'. The plot of movie revolves around an Indian girl with cerebral palsy comes to US for her studies and tries to find way to lead her life. She met many people there and finally meet a Pakistani blind girl and they decide to become complementary to each other. Apart from this, the role played by mother is indeed powerful and necessary in movie which always gives power to her daughter and support her in every step of her life. Movie breaks a taboo about homosexuality practices and how the other people thinks about it. Movie depicts two scenario- one in India and other in US. It shows how situation acts differently on a mind of self- fighting disabled person who strives for a normal life. Most importantly it shows how homosexuality can be actually be helpful to overcome repression and frustration for those people who are neglected by society and other 'normal' people. It is Hippocratic that we just think and debate over the thing that homosexuality should be allowed or not (especially in India) but we don't think about the alternatives for the people who are actually suffering from this. This reminds me of the movie- "Memories in March" (www.imdb.com/title/tt1895476), which is another powerful movie focusing on the delicate relationship between two people that is considered as unusual in society. I recommend to watch that movie too if you like this one. A beautifully written movie with powerful story line and brilliant cast (Kalki, No one can do this better than you!!) which make us think about the difficulty of lives and delicate emotions of a significant part of population. Overall, It is one of those movies which can be placed in the category beyond 'excellent'.
