But, Tarika has big dreams – of graduating from a recognised university in London. With little means to fulfil his daughter’s ambition, how far will the father go to ensure Tarika realises her 'videshi aspirations' #Review: Born and raised in Udaipur (Rajasthan), Champak's world pretty much revolves around his daily bickering with revolves around his daily bickering with his other Ghasitaram brother, Gopi (Deepak Dobriyal), and caring for his only daughter, Tarika, who's all set to graduate high school and embark on another academic journey. But, unlike her father, she doesn't want to limit her dreams to the place she has grown up in; instead, she wants to explore what lies outside of her small world. Unaware of what's ahead, Champak givea in to his daughter's wishes, but things start to sprial out of control when it comes down to paying thw hefty fee. A dedicated father, Champak vows to so whatever it takes to send his daughter to study abroad, and treads on a path that not only proves his unconditional love for his "betiya", but also redefines there relationship. The first half of the screenplay is more engaging than the second, but, while trying to fit in too many subpolts, the story goes quite haywire. there are some fantastiv moment in the flim, and sharply written scenes between the characters, too, which in turn, prove to be the highlights of this drama. However, the story is far too convenient and has inconsistencies that are hard to overlook, but Irrfan's exceptional performance make it worth to watch. #MAR_ACTIVITY #MAKUT
