An 
company.
I feel special in a nice way that more off-beat movies are coming out of India and as I read somewhere probably with more universal and crossover appeal. Bringing awareness as well as entertaining people and still being commercially viable isn't an easy thing to achieve, and I sincerely hope the movie does that and also provide a positive precedent for other movie makers with creative energy to follow suit. The intent is not to change the world, but to create a potential thought that can bring awareness towards different issues. We have seen people change their course of lives seeing pressing things around and I believe movies too have a significant role to play.
Regarding the content of the movie, I found it very lucid, with no compulsion of over doing anything (acting, cinematography, music, screenplay) which makes it all the more endearing.
