His co-star Preity Zinta echoes the sentiment, saying the film explores how different members of a family respond to the same crisis in their own way. “It is about how different people in the family react to the same situation. The younger blood thinks differently, as they think they can change the world. The mother just wants to bring the family together, and the father is the protector, but he also stands up for what he believes in. Sometimes what you believe in can be completely contrasting to what is good for you. It is also about having a backbone and being able to see yourself face to face in the mirror. There are so many parts to it,” she says.
