Pitruroon

In today's urban Indian lifestyle where more relationships seem idealistic and flawless, an archaeologist encounters his look alike and the disturbing past of the look alike's aging mother in rural Maharashtra. But was his father responsible for the plight of this old woman. The film is an emotional story of a romance failed by a cruel twist of fate, a confrontation of shattered family values and rebuilding of human bonds.

Directed by Nitish Bharadwaj, Pitruroon leans on a strong ensemble — Poorvi Bhave, Suhas Joshi, Sachin Khedekar — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2013.
