Only recently Delhi High Court appointed maternal grandparents as 'guardians' of a minor and only allowed visitation rights to the father in a very important case. Shastry vs Shastry holds a mirror to the society where we are living in currently. Sometimes it's the grandparents who take responsibility of their grandchildren while the parents are away on work and unable to take the onus of raising children on themselves. Nobody is at fault. Demanding work pressure is breaking familial ties and causing near and dear ones to separate. This film reflects on this issue while harping on each of the character's lives. There are some beautiful moments that are so real and I could connect with them so easily. When the child actor walks out of home, he not only says bye to the human beings present there but also the inanimate objects. It's a beautiful tribute to childhood as well.
