For his insight into acting, Ajay Devgan has never quivered to endeavor roles of various dimensions.  His movies range him in diverse roles and his career graph lends an upward swing in terms of acting. Main Aisa Hi Hoon, his forthcoming release with Harry Baweja portrays him as a mentally handicapped person. The twosome has been considered a successful team and has entertained the audience with very many successful films. Pammi Baweja is producing the movie.  The film is the Hindi version of the Hollywood flick ‘I am Sam’. Other than the protagonist, the film casts Esha Deol, Sushmita Sen and child artist Rucha Vaidya.

In Dilwale Ajay Devgan had attempted something such, but this time he does it with difference. The story is of Indraneel Thakur (Ajay Devgan) who is a grown up man with a constricted brain of a seven-year-old child. His actions and innocence tallies with a child who is innocent and lovable. These traits make him the likeable one in his township.  His world revolves round his daughter Gungun, (Baby Rucha Vaidya) from Maya Trivedi (Esha Deol). Maya had loved him and left him after the birth of their daughter. Since then he has been parenting Gungun and loves her beyond measures. The world of a child and a child like man were filled with fun and fathom with everyday petite hurdles.

But everything goes wild when the grandfather of Gungun and Maya’s father Dayanath Trivedi learns about the child and comes over from London to claim the child. For Indraneel, to part from his child and his only hope, is unimaginable. Dayanath Trivedi is thus left with no other alternative other than to file a lawsuit. In his plight Indraneel approaches Neeti Khanna (Sushmita Sen), the best lawyer to fight his case.  Neeti Khanna at first disapproves the case but with much pursuance from the heart broken father she gives up her reluctance. She is a single mother who barely notices her son due to her ambition and work. Her association with Indraneel teaches her many sensible things in the process.

The proceedings are not very easy and mutual. There are many stumbling blocks – a powerful NRI, money and the claim that is precise. Indraneel is mentally challenged, his weakest state while Dayanath Trivedi has the virtuosity of the all the respective elements necessary for the normal upbringing of the child. The courtroom clash continues to the core and the climax of the movie.

Weaving complexities of different characters and highlighting their debatable state, the movie throws light on the ugliness of relationships in the urban life amongst normal beings. One is left pondering that it’s only the innocent mind in the form of Indraneel who is an abnormal and his young daughter who seems to preach love and relationship. Watch out for the reasonable and beautiful story on February 4th 2005.
