(This couple is indicative of the young people in urban areas thriving to achieve more, albeit at cost of social values). The couple has a twelve-year old son, Sohel, who is being brought up with much care and with a dream of raising a successful Politian of the Future, a field, which they believe, is promising due to its lucrative opportunities of growth, power and finance. Sohel is a rather spoilt & self-centered brat who believes and follows his father's motto of always getting what he wants.

The aftermath represents the slow but sure criminalization accompanied by the total lack of regret of the educated young middle-class, with subsequent disregard for moral values, and thus forms the terribly realistic & therefore shocking climax of the film.
