This movie reveals a larger truth about the father-son relationship. Many fathers love their own aspirations more than their sons and even impose their own aspirations on their sons, like Mahatma Gandhi did on his own son. There is no problem with not wanting to prioritize your kids over the larger purposes, but in that case why even have kids and make a family in the first place? If you love your larger and nobler aspirations so much, then you should not be making a family in the first place.
