Storyline

After Deepak Chander celebrates his coming-of-age birthday in a bar, his mother, Lakshmi, warns him of the consequences of drinking alcohol. She narrates to him how his alcoholic Bombay-based father, Kailash, a wealthy businessman, lost everything after the cotton market crashed; their house was seized; and they had to re-locate to Hyderabad to live with their servant, Shyamu; while Kailash, himself, disappeared from their lives - and unbeknown to her - was on the run from the law. The question remains: will this knowledge keep Deepak from drinking, or will he continue in his father's footsteps?
