Bangalore: where innocence, deceit and love collide
Anand is a Bangalore success story: successful, well-married, rich. At least, that`s how he appears. But if his little factory is to grow, he needs land and money and, in the New India, neither of these is easy to find.
Kamala, Anand`s family`s maid, lives perilously close to the edge of disaster. She and her clever teenage son have almost nothing, and their small hopes for self-betterment depend on the contentment of Anand`s wife: a woman to whom whims come easily.
But Kamala`s son keeps bad company. Anand`s marriage is in trouble. And the murky world where crime and land and politics meet is a dangerous place for a good man, particularly one on whom the wellbeing of so many depends.
