When one finds out from his doctor that he is dying soon, what choice does he have now?
1. Keep the secret to himself and enjoy the remaining part of his life to the fullest
2. Tell everyone about it and expect pity or a ‘sorry’ look from friends and family etc
3. Remain indoors or Commit suicide
This aged father chosen No. 1 as above - to live and enjoy remaining days of his life the way he always wanted, a rather unusual way – Going back to the past or go back to his childhood (for he lost his own due to poverty).
Fun, pranks etc did not go well with the family. In fact, this is the perfect opportunity or an excuse to the daughter-in-law to send him to an old age home, she even frames him for something (another prank) he never did.
‘Aged parents, treat them with care’ was the message this tiatr tries to give us all.

The role of grandfather, father and mother well played by Giri Zalmi, Shubert Rodrigues and Annie Fernandes.
It had about 13 songs including solos, duets, duo, trio and quartet.
