The most engaging of narratives are human in nature. As a teenage boy is expelled from boarding school he looks darkly upon the prospect of going back to a motherless home and a father he hasn't heard from in years. He reaches home only to see his room encroached upon by a much younger step brother he had no knowledge of and consequently vents his frustration on the younger child. Being forced to study engineering and work in his authoritarian father's factory, his only comfort is in his ambition to be a writer and the random nightly escapes. Incidents culminate towards a conclusion when his step sibling has to be hospitalized. The film gets back to realism in Indian cinema which had been lost in the mainstream for a decade, or 2, and is now in the process of recovery. With a stellar performance from the entire cast the film is premium grade soul food.
