Dir: Revathy
Cast: Kajol, Vishal Jethwa, Rajeev Khandelwal, Aahana Kumra
Rating: 3/5

The film’s opening sequence — a young boy wheeled into the hospital followed by a paranoid mother — sets the tone of the two-hour-plus narrative. Venkatesh Krishnan aka Venky (played by Vishal Jethwa), 24, has been suffering from DMD (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy), — a rare and incurable form of muscular dystrophy — since childhood. He has long surpassed the 16-year lifespan indicated by medical science, courtesy his resilience and the solid support of his strong-willed mother, Sujata Krishnan (Kajol). While he is a regular at the hospital, this time around, his chances of going back home are slim. Upon realising that he has little time, he expresses his desire to donate his organs and seeks euthanasia, as his last wish. Not ready to give up on her son, Sujata flatly refuses to listen to his request. 
After much reluctance and deliberation, she gives in, but the mother and son have another battle to fight, in the court, considering euthanasia is illegal and not permissible by the Indian law.
