Dilwali Diwali Story
After years working abroad, Ansh Sikka buys his middle-class Punjabi parents a swanky new high-rise apartment, believing he has given them a better life. When he returns home for Diwali, however, he realises that upgrading a house does not automatically change what makes it feel like home.
Without giving anything away, the film explores family expectations, generational differences and the meaning of home, as Ansh and his parents adjust to new surroundings while holding on to the warmth and traditions that shaped their family.
