Plot

Sudha (Neena Gupta) is a devoted housewife who loves cooking, especially her signature Pinnis. She lives a fairly normal life, mostly taking care of the household. Her husband (played by Shishir Sharma), rarely ever sits and talks to her, and even takes his tea in the bedroom. Their daughter and other relatives frequently ask her to courier her special Pinnis, which she gladly does. They even make demands, like making the Pinnis gluten-free. One morning, as her husband is hurrying to work, he asks her to pack sugar free Pinnis for him. As she chases him to the cab trying to tell him something, he rushes off without lending an ear. When he returns home in the evening, he finds Sudha dressed up, acting ignorant, and the house is a complete mess. Puzzled by the sudden change, he asks her if he can at least get a cup of tea. She calmly replies with a yes, but only if he sits with her to have it. It's revealed that it's Sudha's birthday today, which he's forgotten. The movie ends with a subtle message of appreciating our mom's role in making our lives sweeter, and giving them the love and undivided attention, they deserve.[8][9]
