A senior citizen couple ( Anupam Kher and Neena Kulkarni) are on their way to a European holiday when the wife faints at the airport and the doctors at a hospital diagnose it as brain hemorrhage. So starts the travails of Anupam who is a middle class person and just doesn't have the funds required for the costly treatment at the hospital. He manages to scrape enough by borrowing from relatives and friends. He also sells off his home but still falls short of funds. His wife is on ventilator but he is reluctant to sign the "Do not resuscitate" form.
Director Gajendra Vitthal Ahire presents an emotionally charged narrative with a superlative performance from Anupam Kher who is likely to pick up a few awards. His acting at places where he launches into a monologue reminds one of the much appreciated " Saransh" . Many viewers specially those from middle class will identify and resonate with the problems faced by him. They may also identify with scenes at the hospital Cafeteria where a cup of tea provides succour from the miseries. There are references to crowd funding attempts to help him out financially but it doesn't work. In supporting performances we have Mahima Choudhry as an ex colleague ( a cancer survivor), Annu Kapoor as a helpful friend and Ranvir Shorey as desperate father. There are intermittent scenes of a morose, sad Anupam in dilapidated building. Some kind of symbolism there ?
