The film’s narrative—loosely inspired by the epic Ramayana—deals with the concept of the joint family. When the subtitles are crisp, international audiences can fully grasp the heartbreak of misunderstandings and the warmth of reconciliation. The reason the "top" subtitled versions are so sought after is that the film’s soul lies in its writing. Viewers want to understand every word of the iconic confrontations between the matriarch, Mamta (played with steely resolve by Reema Lagoo), and the pacifist patriarch, Ramkishan.
