The combination of Ram Gopal Varma and the almighty Bachchan clan makes for an intense cinematic experience. Just don't go expecting any colourful Bollywood-esque song-and-dance numbers.

Rai-Bachchan plays Anita Rajan, the CEO of a power company who wants to bring a plant into a rural region. Though it takes little to convince a young Shankar (Abhishek Bachchan) of the plant's positive effects, an older man (Amitabh Bachchan) is much more difficult to persuade.
