Main Aisa Hi Hoon (2005)

In the heartland of India, nestled in a quaint hill station, resides the gentle Indraneel Thakur, known fondly as Neel. Living a simple life as a cafe waiter, Neel is an intriguing blend of contrasts - possessing the physique of a man yet the mind of a seven-year-old. His life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters a lonely, pregnant woman named Maya Trivedi, stranded after missing the last bus. With an innocence that belies his towering frame, Neel not only assists her home but also helps her give birth to her child, Gungun. When Maya inexplicably vanishes, leaving behind only her newborn, Neel willingly steps into the role of a single parent. Years pass and the bond between the mentally impaired Neel and his daughter, Gungun, flourishes. All the while, the townsfolk watch in awe as love and responsibility transform an innocent man into a doting father. However, tranquility shatters when Maya's father, Dayanath Trivedi, arrives from London with the intention of seizing custody of his granddaughter. The court, quick to judge Neel's mental fitness, tentatively places Gungun under its guardianship. Battling the anguish of a potentially devastating separation, Neel finds a glimmer of hope in Niti, a lawyer and single mother who becomes his ally in the fight for his daughter. As the court date looms, Neel faces the monumental challenge of proving his parenting capabilities to a skeptical judicial system. In a world that sees him as unfit, he must demonstrate that love transcends conventional wisdom and that he, despite his limitations, is more than capable of providing for Gungun. This heart-rending tale of an extraordinary father-daughter relationship challenges societal norms and explores the depths of parental love.
