B.R Chopra explores the parents predicament in their old age when the children for whom they have lived for does not really care, as they grow up...

Raj Malhotra (Amitabh Bachchan) and his wife Pooja has four sons (Aman Verma, Samir Soni, Sahil Chadda, Nasir). They give their all in raising and caring for them and see that they are well settled in life. Life goes on smoothly for this couple who are still very much in love with each other. But when Raj retires the scenario completely changes. His sons are not willing to take the responsibility of the parents especially when they find out that Raj has no money left.

Their sons decide to separate them in the sense that one of their sons will look after Raj while the other will look after Pooja. After six months at one place, they will be moved to the next son's place but never together...and after some time they start ill-treating them.. their adopted son (Salman Khan) who really cares, their friends Hemant Patel (Paresh Rawal) and his wife, Shanti (Lilette Dubey) provides relief in between. The callousness of their own sons deeply hurts them...

Sounds familiar? There has been a number of movies taken before in this genre.. but the film stands apart in its narration.. emotionally well handled, the film is going to touch many a heart. Some of the sequences are very well taken. But one does get a feel that the film could have been shorter and that some of the songs could have been avoided. Script wise the film suffers at times and has some moments which are not convincing like there is no probable reason Raj and his wife should agree to such an arrangement. Some of the songs by Adesh Srivastava are melodious. Dialogues are brilliant at times.

Amitabh Bachchan carries the film on his shoulders. The veteran gives a superb performance and this adds another feather to his distinguished career. Hema Malini coming back after a long time, looks graceful and does her part convincingly. Paresh Rawal and Lilette Dubey are good, Aman Varma and Salman Khan gives an impact. Mahima Chaudhary as Salman's girl doesn't get enough scope.

Despite the soppy feel to it, the film is going to be a sure winner in the emotional department appealing to the family crowd.
