2.5/4

The simple story strains to maintain a run time that is already far shorter than the Indian film norm.

While the film sometimes plays like an hour TV medical drama padded to reach feature length, Sawant achieves touching, naturalistic performances from a fine ensemble cast.

An old-fashioned soaper that will please or not, depending on a viewer's tolerance for schmaltz.

3/5

Mr. Sawant does his best to balance hopeful sentiment with the depressing prospect of a child's world going dark, and he tries to infuse this simple melodrama with a sense of tenderness and beauty.

Takes a potential hot-button premise -- the callous indifference of the Indian medical bureaucracy toward the lower classes -- and dramatizes it in the most shameless way possible.
