In this idyllic world, on the eve of Gungun's seventh birthday, enters a storm in the form of Maya's father, Mr. Their world was happy, albeit not picture-perfect. And for seven years after that, Neel and Gungun just had each other to live for. Gungun's mother, Maya, had entered Neel's life like a mysterious breeze and left just as inexplicably, after giving birth to the child. Friends, the owner of the books and coffee shop he works in and his landlady form the rest of his world.
The nucleus of his world is his seven-year-old daughter, Gungun. Life for him is a fable and the world a fairy-tale setting where no wrong or no evil can ever penetrate. Indraneel/Neel is a grown-up man with the brain of a seven-year-old child. Yes, MAIN AISA HI HOON has its pros, but the cons outweigh them completely. There are glaring loopholes in the screenplay and the courtroom sequences, which should've been electrifying, leave you cold. The plot is indeed refreshing, but the film loses the grip in the latter part. Harry Baweja's MAIN AISA HI HOON borrows heavily from the talked-about Hollywood film I AM SAM, but the Indianized version just doesn't strike a chord. From AA GALE LAG JAA to KUNWARA BAAP to MASOOM to AKELE HUM AKELE TUM to RISHTEY, Hindi cinema has, at regular intervals, produced a number of films that look at this special bond. The parent-child relationship has fascinated a number of film-makers over the years.
