Synopsis
In the vein of Danny Boyle’s ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ and Mira Nair’s ‘Salaam Bombay,’ Thanks Maa is poignant tale of a12 year old street kid named Municipality. While on the run from the reformatory, he finds & saves a two day old abandoned baby from becoming the prey to a ferocious street dog. Failing to find any takers among the people whom he deemed responsible and respectable, Municipality takes up the onus of finding the mother of that abandoned baby himself. Municipality’s rock steady determination ultimately helps him emerge a winner against all odds as he reaches that baby’s mother but in bargain he loses his most precious possession- the flawless & god-like image of a mother he used to see in his dreams and probably the hope that he’ll ever find his own mother again.
