Waking up the law-abiding citizen in all of us

Tathastu (Hindi)

Director: Anubhav Sinha

Cast: Sanjay Dutt, Gulshan Grover, Amisha Patel, Jayaprada

Kudos! In the season of laughter, Hindi cinema dares to get serious. Anubhav Sinha's Tathastu may not make it to the list of exceptional movies, but it manages to raise more than a point about a society where the rich control the riches, the meek bring up the earth under the feet of the mighty.

This tale of an eight-year-old child in need of a heart transplant leaves you shaken. Sanjay Dutt is an ordinary worker who must shell out Rs. 15 lakh to save the life of his son. He never goes overboard. And he gets able company from everybody else in the cast, including Amisha Patel, Jayaprada and Gulshan Grover.
