The non-commercial movie, released last week, has been attracting huge crowd to the theatres and students from different schools and colleges are watching it in large numbers every day."While working for the disabled and orphaned children I came across several cases of children with disability and the pain and challenge they face. The worst part is that society has all along been very insensitive towards the children and their families. Through the film we wanted to sensitise people about issues of disabilities," said Milan Dash , writer and director of the film and also a member of the bar council of the Supreme Court of India The 2 hour and 15 minute-long film showcased the plight of family of Babloo, an intellectually challenged child and the emotional turmoil withing him. And it also highlighted how companionship and affection can help them in leading a healthy and better life."The film is very moving and the director has beautifully raised the social and emotional issue of disability. I hope it will certainly help in bringing some change in the mindset of people towards persons with disabilities and orphans," said Ramesh Sahu , a school teacher.After Cuttack, the film will be released in theatres of different cities including Bhubaneswar, Berhampur, Sambalpur, Rourkela and the filmmakers also have plans to take it to different schools.
