The film brings forth reality of small town and the simple middle class folks of the 1950s engaged in punctilious fulfilling of their daily routines of life. Many of us, who toiled ceaselessly (or have seen our parents toil) after the 1947 partition to bring up their families in the 50s and 60s, would easily relate to these themes.
