Suffering a heart-attack one morning, on his birthday,
Joymohan (Anupam Kher) a professor in Kolkata, realizes
that he needs to spend more time with his family. This
incident prompts him to move to Mumbai to be with his
son (Rajit Kapoor), daughter-in-law Rita (Divya Dutta)
and grand-daughter Gargi (Avika Gor) and mend broken
bridges of the past.
His son and grand daughter Gargi are delighted, but his
daughter-in-law Rita is somewhat uncomfortable having him
with them..
It is during his "Morning
Walk" that his life changes forever. He meets his
once-upon-a-time-student and friend Neelima (Sharmila
Tagore), a yoga teacher and now a mother of two, who
carries with her a strange but surreal truth.
Neelima was a student of a
college in Kolkata where Joymohan was a lecturer. They
were in love but then separate for certain reasons and
meet after years during a morning walk. Their paths cross
one more time 27 years later, during a morning walk on the
streets of Mumbai.
Neelima's bright and beautiful daughter, Anjali (Nargis
Bagheri), dreams of pursuing her doctorate in the USA, and
is encouraged by her doting mother and boyfriend Ajay (Shayan
Munshi), an upcoming singer who will go to any lengths to
put a smile on her face.
The child
artiste Avika Gor is gifted and she very perfectly does
her piece well.
Joymohan and
Neelima’s families live diverse lives, yet bond together
by a truth which changes their lives in this touching
tale.
