Watched it while I was there in Nepal. It was some emotional ride. Later I started reading nowadays that so many things were off the track in there. It was basically a set up to make us as younger generations to go through some guilt trip. I kind of agree, yes. Why would not the parents have no penny with them for their retirement, everything went to the education and raising of 3-4 sons then? Why would the parents have to turn to their kids for retirement when they could have empowered themselves in some way, which the father does realize towards the end of the movie but yes after some heavy tear-jerking moments, and most of them were over the top. I am not saying the old father to go to work and languish in the rat race, but there were a lot of ways to gain financial independence. It kind of showed that the parents were not that smart right off the bat. And the blame keeps going to the generation who are indifferent to the older ones and their needs. Just my two cents!
