Directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, Nil Battey Sannata stars Swara Bhaskar and has been produced by Aanand L Rai.

 

Well, when a filmmaker like him backs a project, chances are you will not be disappointed walking out of the theatre. And that's exactly what happened after I watched Nil Battey Sannata.

 

The makers may not have gone all out to promote this film but when you have a good story, it is bound to attract moviegoers. Word-of-mouth is the best publicity for such films which are high on content.

 

Nil Battey Sannata is about Chanda (Swara), a single mother who works as a maid just so that her daughter Apeksha (Riya Shukla) can study.

 

She doesn't want Apeksha to follow her footsteps.

 

While Chanda envisions a bright future for her daughter, Apeksha, on the other hand, is a fun loving, carefree girl with no ambition. And that is her mother's biggest worry.

 

To make sure that Apeksha clears her Std 10 exams, Chanda decides to join the same school as her daughter on her employer's (played by Ratna Pathak Shah) insistence. 

 

Though the mother-daughter duo are very close, things heat up between the two when the former starts attending the school.

 

At school, the only thing common between them is that both suck at Mathematics. But Chanda soon gets the hang of the subject and starts excelling. That's when Chanda challenges her daughter.
