The fictional lawyer played by Sushmita Sen in the 

film is a true personification of a good lawyer. Her aim is not just to win cases, but to win it f or the 

sake of equitable justice. She getting married to a mentally challenged man 

to get fairness f or his eff orts is a very commendable depiction of an ideal lawyer.

We must respect the child as a person and acknowledge thatshe is the most vulnerable party in the proceeding.

egardless of the circumstances that lead the child's custody

to be at issue, her best interests must be the central concern. It is a moral wrong to decide issues of child placement based on adult conflicts and in justices that may have stemmed from adult behaviour.

These decisions aff ect the child, who is mentally hurt due to the legal battle.

The film is a good depiction of the role of morality in ourprof essional and personal lives.

It shows the importance of love and care which the children expect from their parents.

The court scene of the film gives excerpts as to what the child really needs in lif e.

All legal battles are not necessarily f or the good of the people. Itmay end up hurting your own child too.
