Producer Hemanshu Rai
Production A Maa Badaulat Films
Runtime 91 Minutes
Camera Arri Alexa Mini LF
Release October 2026

At the grand Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, a 45-year-old son abandons his mother, believing dementia will keep her from finding him. She refuses to see it as betrayal, pushing the police to search. Their reunion ends in silence — she renounces him, yet deep inside knows his deliberate cruelty.

A National Award-winning cast brings this intimate exploration of abandonment, reconciliation, and the unbreakable yet unforgiving power of a mother's love to life.
