Waqt (2005)

Imbued with a special bond, Ishwar Sharawat and his son Aditya share an atypical father-son relationship, more akin to friendship. Ishwar, the magnanimous owner of a toy manufacturing company, exudes an infectious joy, particularly during the festive season of Diwali when he distributes toys to orphans. His life, adorned with a flourishing business, a devoted son, and a dutiful wife, Sumitra, appears to be the epitome of contentment. Aditya, on the other hand, is a lovable slacker, unskilled, unemployed, and entranced by love for Mitali, Nathu's daughter. Their love story, initially riddled with hiccups, culminates in a marriage that Ishwar hopes will instill responsibility in Aditya. However, Aditya's lackadaisical attitude persists, leading to an unexpected confrontation with his doting father. In a heart-wrenching turn of events, Ishwar, left with no other choice, expels Aditya from the house, leaving him and his now pregnant wife to fend for themselves. Thrown into a world of responsibility, Aditya embarks on a journey of transformation. He finds work as a freelance stuntman and participates in a star search contest, gradually becoming the independent man his father desired. Yet, with each stride towards self-sufficiency, the chasm between father and son widens. Amidst the chaos, a question lingers: why did Ishwar, a man who began his life with mere Rs.35, take such a harsh stance towards his only son? The climax unravels at the finals of the star search contest, where the reasons behind Ishwar's seemingly cruel behavior come to light. This poignant revelation acts as a catalyst, mending the fractured relationship between father and son, and paving the way for a heartwarming conclusion. "Waqt" is a captivating tale of familial bonds, personal growth, and the timeless struggle between dependence and independence.
