Set in the backdrop of Agra, Delhi is a small village called Bajjar, the story is told through the eyes of Janet Wright (Ali Faulkner), who meets an inspirational man, Bansi (Subrat Dutta). The reputation of the village and its people isn’t great, known for being illiterate, with hardly any prospects. ![]() Bansi, who remained uneducated, lives with the daily guilt that he is responsible for the reason there was no school or teacher in Bajjar, due to an incident that had happened 20 years ago. Bansi doesn’t want the next generation of children to face the same fate as he has and wants to make positive changes for the future.

When he notices a little girl, not much older than his younger brother, teaching him the alphabet, he finds a potential solution to kick starting the children’s education, manifesting the tagline – ‘Eat and Teach’. The idea was the customer’s could offer some of their time to teach the children instead of paying for their food. Not every customer was keen, but Bansi got lucky when a tourist going by the name of Christopher (Zachary Coffin) agreed to the idea and soon word of mouth got out of the noble cause that was being run by the roadside.

Khurana has depicted many relationships within this film, and just as the opening of the film describes the enchanting Taj Mahal, this film also captures the essence of love in its many forms. Whether this was the simple innocence of love blossoming, old friends coming together or strangers who soon form a bond for life; each of the characters were introduced seamlessly and each had their own screen space which didn’t overshadow one another. The on screen chemistry between Dutta, Tripathy and Pahwa was fantastic, how they supported each other throughout the film epitomises the meaning of a true friendship who stick together through thick and thin.

Emotions are captured effortlessly, there is charm, humour and heartache all rolled into one, so be sure to have a box of tissues to hand, as this will tug at your heart strings!
