Write a short summary of what happens in the film.

This is the story of Dr. Dnyaneshwar Bhosale- the visionary who gave up his high-paying city job and moved into the heart of the country with his wife, Priyanka, and their son. He was driven by a singular dream - to build a state-of-the-art hospital for those who could afford it the least. After the Covid-19 pandemic broke out, Dr. Bhosale labored day and night to save thousands of lives. Unfortunately, he succumbed to the virus himself. Some people live on in their children and loved ones. Others, like Dr. Bhosale, survive in their work and ideas, transcending to a higher meaning. Dr. Bhosale’s vision of building an institution of care is now being realized by Priyanka Bhosale. She is building a hospital in her late husband’s memory - with the support of the ‘Vicks #TouchOfCare Fund’. In her words, “He is no longer a person. He is a purpose.”

Tell the jury about the creation of the original music track.

The music alternates between hope and melancholy. Even in moments of apparent joy, it treads on carefully and quietly. Times of inspiration, illustrated with the gentle rise in the strings is annotated with the struggles and loneliness of a first mover. The chords drop and the strings recede in the gloomy oncoming of the pandemic. In that anxious gloom, the gentle piano comes and reminds us of the unbreakable joyous spirit of our protagonist. Suspense gives into fear. As it ushers in the untimely end of Dr. Dyaneshwar, it breathes quietly, allowing the listener to experience their own internal machinations. And when it announces the passing of the torch to Priyanka, it swells just a bit, but with the utmost restraint. Hope isn’t loud or triumphant. Hope is quiet. In the contemplative silence between despair and resilience, hope survives.
