Plot
Kajro (Tannishtha Chatterjee) and Jethu (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) are fulfilling the eternal Indian dream of educating their children Ghumroo (Virendra Singh Rathod) and Panni (Suhani Oza). Kajro, the resilient mother, in the face of adversity inculcates great values in her children. Jethu as the mute patriarch suffers the day-to-day heartbreaks in silence.
Set in the present-day deserts of Rajasthan, the story line is about the daily trials and tribulations of the family and depicts the aspirations of rural India. Aspirations have arrived at every doorstep, but the means are far behind.
In the backdrop of state elections, a circus has come to a nearby town that may be Panni and Ghumroo's only escapade to a fantasy world without any heartbreak. A flag on the door could be the key to this escape. Would Jethu and Kajro find it easy to see a small dream of their children come true or would they themselves become puppets in the circus of life?
Cast
- Tannishtha Chatterjee as Kajaro, who lives in the rural part of the country, can be compared to the modern, urban, empowered woman of today. Her thoughts and values are deeply rooted in Indian tradition and culture. From a very young age she has been independent and strong willed.
- Nawazuddin Siddiqui as Jethu, belongs to the ‘Rabari’ community of Rajasthan. He resembles the ‘son of the soil’. His community comes under the broad classification of the nomadic tribe that moves from place to place. Jethu is a very loving and caring husband and a father. He and Kajaro were childhood sweethearts, and he has tremendous faith and trust in her.
- Virendra Singh Rathod as Ghumroo: the seven-year-old child of Jethu and Kajaro. He is mostly in his school uniform or the Rabari costume. He also sports some Rabari accessories. He has big bright eyes. They reflect honesty and purity. They are deep and intense and are a mirror of his soul that is equally pure and genuine.
- Suhani Oza as Panni, the five-year-old daughter of Kajaro and Jethu. She resembles her mother in many ways especially the sharp features. Panni is a cute and an innocent-looking girl. She exudes sweetness from the way she talks and childlike mannerisms.
Music
The soundtrack of the film is composed by Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, while the lyrics are penned by Prasoon Joshi. The score is done by Wayne Sharp.
