Yogesh Patil (Shreyas Talpade) is an army officer. His seven-year-old daughter's name is 'Pari' (Trisha Shraddha). Just when he thinks that his life is going to be happy, 'Pari' gets cancer. When he comes to know about this, he even quits his job with the desire to save his daughter. He tells the doctors that none of his ancestors have cancer. The doctors say that the baby got cancer due to the use of excessive pesticides in food.
Yogesh has spent everything he has earned till then, but he is unable to save his daughter. With the intention of not letting anyone else suffer like him, he comes to a decision. He goes to the police station to file a case against the companies that manufacture pesticides... and the farmers who use them for their crops. He tries to complain that his daughter is not dead... and that it is tantamount to murder. However, no one pays attention to his plea. He faces a similar situation in court.
He stands as a helpless father in society. He thinks that there is a dearth of people who understand his plight. In such circumstances, Advocate 'Archana' stands by him. She prepares to take the case forward. What terrible truths does she experience in this process? How does she try to bring them to the attention of the court? What challenges does she face for that? The story is about.
There have been major changes in the agricultural sector. Organic fertilizers are not being used as they used to be. Fruits, vegetables, etc. are being stored for a long time, and are being treated with excessive chemicals to keep them fresh. Many people are getting cancer due to pesticides entering the food they eat. This story revolves around the main issue of the government, pesticide manufacturing companies, and farmers playing a role in this matter.
The story starts from the point where the main problem in the story comes to court. After that, they show how this problem reached the court. The entire first half revolves around the problem, and the second half revolves around the reasons for that problem. The director explains how excessive chemicals entered the Indian agricultural sector and how their spread has been happening.
Fruits, vegetables are thought to be very healthy. But the court mentioned how much they have become toxic and are reaching the people, and how many people they are turning into cancer patients. The director tried to bring some other things to our attention from the perspective of Advocate Archana gathering evidence related to her case.
In fact, the story chosen by the director reflects the current situation. It takes it very close to the facts. The director has tried his best to tell this story while touching the emotions of the father and daughter. Otherwise, there is no life in the invention related to it. Here and there, it feels like a documentary and makes you impatient. Leaving some logic leaves you dissatisfied.
And why did they tell Advocate Archana that this is the first case.. I don't understand what happened to the story because of that. Similarly, Murali Sharma's combination scenes also seem weak. Kajal .. Shreyas Talpade .. Baby Trisha .. all of them did justice to their characters. Nishant Bhagwat's photography .. Mangesh's background music .. Ashish's editing seem like a good example.
It is no exaggeration to say that the story chosen by the director reflects the facts .. makes you think. But it seems that there has been no adequate innovation. The severity of the problem .. They have not been able to connect the depth of emotions. It seems like a discussion platform and is disappointing. If that were the case, many people would be afraid to even hear the word cancer. Therefore, the audience would be further away from the story of a child with cancer. There are some movies that should not be watched with the family .. There are some concepts that cannot be watched. This movie can be said to belong to that second category.
