India is a big country and its most of the population lives in the villages spread across whole of the nation. Our Indian Rural Department has done quite good things to raise its standards but there are still thousands of villages who don’t even have electricity. The film is directed by newcomer Apoorva Lakhia who studied films at New York University. The movie has been mostly shot at these villages and revolves around urbanization of villages throughout India.

The movie showcases the time of one month in the life of Kanji ( Abhishek Bachchan ). His efforts in his grandfather’s remote village in Rajasthan, sparked up the electricity. This surely excited the people at home but they are to be informed that it is just the beginning of power struggle. KC ( Lara Dutta ), daughter of Thakur, starts loving Kanji and is the birth to their love stories amidst the tensions of village modernization. The theme of the movie actually revolves around the lives of the villagers and how they are badly affected.

The songs of the movie are:
1.    Jeetenge Baazi Hum Himmat Na Hogi Kam
2.    Koee Bheega Hai Rang Se Koee Bheega Umang Se
3.    Mujhe Toone Jo Dekha To Laga Kaisa, Main Deewaana Tera Bana Tab Se O Tera Bana Tab Se
4.    Saiyaan ki baiyaan main thaame chali thi
5.    Shaher Ka Jaadoo Re Hare Beqaaboo Re
6.    The Journey [Instrumental]
