Over ten million female fetuses were aborted in the last two decades after prenatal gender checks in India. Every day there are many female infanticides committed by various methods. According to India's Government in 2016, 2000+ girls are killed every day in India. Due to this, there is an alarming sex-ratio imbalance rising between male and females in India. This story is about a father and his family that desperately want to raise a son, but had four daughters instead. It also follows the daughters' journey as they try to grasp why their father doesn't love them. Through a series of events, the father realizes his mistakes, recognizes his duty to raise them, and becomes a very proud father.The film also enlightens the Indian society by making them realize that this social injustice and discrimination will not stop until we take a stand to speak up collectively. Our film tagline is, "Tolerating injustice is a greater sin than inflicting."

Director's Biography
I wrote this script while I was a struggling actor. I learned about film making by watching as many films as I could. In 2017, I got the opportunity to go to New York Film Academy Los Angeles Ca,and took a crash course in film making. My wife Melinda Dogra (Executive Producer) joined me to fight for Women equality, rights and discrimination. I am very passionate about this Film subject.

Director's Statement
I don't know what is the meaning or purpose of life, but after my wife's near death car accident we decided together we would make our life's purpose. We chose this subject for India to educate, guide and help them understand that a female can be as successful as a male if they are given love, care and nurturing. Our goal is to save as many lives as we can in India. We also dubbed this film in the Hindi language so that it can be shown all over India, including remote villages.
