Kuldeep is in love. But the girl he wants to marry comes from a more prestigious community. No matter how much Kuldeep seeks help from Goddess Kali, the girl’s father is hard to convince. Innumerable Bollywood films depict young couples who face such obstacles. Unlike most of these fiction films, which tend to follow the girl’s situation, this documentary focuses on the boy. “Obey your father and mother” is a universal norm and Romeo and Juliet can be found in all cultures. How do Kuldeep and his girlfriend relate to this?
