Inspired by a short story by writer Gourahari Das, Pratikshya is the story of Sanjay, a boy from a middle-class family who is on the lookout for a government job, a few months before his father retires.
His father, Bipin, is insistent that he find a job, as the family has debts, and Bipin is also diagnosed with a terminal illness. Sanjay learns about the government’s scheme of compassionate appointment where a family member gets the job of the deceased government employee.
A frustrated Sanjay waits for his father’s death only to realise his disturbing mind. It is a film about family, especially about the complex relationships fathers and sons have.
Recently at International Film Festival of India (IFFI) actor Anupam Kher announced spontaneously that he will make Pratikshya in Hindi, where he will be playing the role of the father. He gave Patnaik a token signing amount for the rights of the film. He will be present at the celebration party at Cinepolis Sunday said the movie makers.
