01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
The Kadam family ran a restaurant in Mumbai. The second-oldest son, Hassan (Manish Dayal), was being groomed to replace his mother (Juhi Chawla) as the restaurant's main cook. However, a mob attacks and firebombs the restaurant over an election dispute. Papa Kadam (Om Puri) and his family evacuate the guests, but Mama is killed. Seeking political asylum in Europe, the family first settles in London, where their residence proves ill-suited for a restaurant. They depart for Continental Europe.
