Shah and Sarika said they were at a loss for words to describe being at the site of the incident.

Talking about the making of the film, Shah said the nature and small budget of the film made it a difficult “but rewarding experience.”

“The subject being sensitive, we had to be careful not to hurt sentiments while making the movie,” said Shah. “I think the time has come to tell the world the truth as it has happened and not bury our heads in the sand.”

He said the real story needed to be told without raising fingers of accusation.

“Whom do you accuse and of what? If you are looking at the root of all troubles, where do you go? Back to partition?” he asked. “I believe, that is where the roots lie.”

Of Dholakia’s attempt, he said, “Rahul has tried to tell the story as it is.”

Dara said the State Government must waive entertainment tax for the movie, so that everyone gets to see it. “We want everyone to see it and know what kind of trauma a family goes through under such situations,” Dara said. “We’ll also keep on hoping that someone may somewhere find our boy and know him through the still photograph shown in the movie, and let us know.”

“Please see the movie, you will know, what a mother goes through after losing her child,” said Rupa, adding that while she prays no one should ever go through an experience like hers, she hopes someone, someday will surely give her a news about her son.
