Do you ever take time out to think about the most beautiful blessing that God has graced you with? The most precious gift given by the almighty to every one of us is ‘life’; and we hardly take the same seriously. Whenever we get surrounded by sorrows or difficulties, we think of ending it. We don’t even realize that life is not just meant to live but love, and this is exactly what Gippy Grewal’s ‘Ardaas Karaan’ taught us.

Education is considered as a building block, and understanding it’s importance is essential indeed. But many a time, we get occupied by superficial aspects of education and in the impact of same, fail to understand the real meaning of learning. Through ‘Uda Aida’, Neeru Bajwa, Tarsem Jassar, and the whole team tried to give a message, that learning and growing are more important than aping. It showed how running after the language English, just because it makes you look smart is not the smartest thing to do. To stay connected with the roots, to never get away or forget one’s mother tongue, is what helps in the longer run.

Though we are living in an era where they say boys and girls are equal in all senses, do they really mean it? Even to date, a boy is considered as the torchbearer of the family, the one who will take forward the family’s legacy. Due to this, many a time a mother hears so many cuss words in one way or the other. The movie shows a mirror to this very section of society; shows a mirror to the patriarchy.
