The story follows the life of Vasanthi a thirty-six-year-old woman attempting to find new work to acquire stable income inoder to move her family over to Ireland. because of her age she finds it incredibly difficult to get any work. On the other hand there's her husband Rahman who works in radio broadcast, has been trying for years to get over to Ireland and has quite a bit of stress involving his wife. He perceives her as a bit of a nitwit, do to her clueless nature on dates and general organization. A bit of an irony considering she works in a revenue office. Now for some reason there's a whole plot (in the frist act) revolving around the Indian Police Service investigating her, her husband and even their daughter that has to do with the president.
So apparently Vasanthi daughter asked the president a question so intriguing that the president wants to speak to Vasanthi herself. Now Vasanthi is loaded with charisma and a bit of star power, she's a little full of yourself for the time, up until she actually have to meet the president himself.
{Good to know that the Indians are is paranoid about their presidential security as the Americans are.}
All this effort only so Vasanthi can end up fainting right in front of the president. This then leads to her being the laughingstock of the entire city for that matter the entire nation.
It's from here on that the film takes a different tone Vasanthi now being humiliated and shown at her worst has to rise up. With the help and inspiration of an old (and now famous) friend. to become charismatic yet again. She finds inperation in the promotion of organic vegetables, something that's becoming an increasingly bigger problem in India with mass production vegetables being about as healthy for you as a McDonald's cheeseburger.
At the end of the film she'll meet the Indian president yet again, only this time with better charisma and a solid agenda behind her. She ends up being displayed as a kind of icon, an inspirational person to look up to. Something to inspire young women to break free of the traditionalist values of the old Indian culture (my only hope is that they don't completely throw away the Indian values and culture).
After all to advance your nation into the Modern Age is a good thing. But if you end up obliterating 5000 years of history then everything you've worked for will be for naught.
Would have been nice if the husband ended up respecting his wife for a more personal experience. Like a long dialogue between the two expressing each other's concerns and emulation for one another, coming to a more reanable conclusion. he learns to accept her dreams, responsibility and her intelligence while she promises to still keep her family involved in her life and not become completely absorbed in her dreams.
It has a good solid feminine message to it, that girls don't have to be held back in society and if they put enough time and effort in into ther lives they can really make a difference.
It's well-made and colorful, with good acting (nothing spectacular) and surprisingly only two songs, kind of surprising for a Bollywood film. I guess that's just a stereotype now to assume that it would be full of music.
A good film with a surprisingly steady tone (with the exceptions of some of the odd music choices, but presume that's a bit of a cultural barrier.)
