,but his humanity as decreed by his conscience and faith will not let him abandon the child and coaxed by his wife they adopt the orphan after no trace of the family is determined, the inner turmoil and the excruciating torture he experiences is reflected by Pankaj Kapoor in a way rarely experienced in cinema as his paternal instincts for the child are evoked and his religious prejudices melt to reveal a true humane soul in all its glory, the script is beautifully exploited to show the transgression from a sceptical holy man to loving father.
The script then in an astonishing development goes for the most unpredictable twist when the original mother turns up six years later to claim the child and it turns out that the holy man was nurturing a Muslim in his house, thus begins his penance and repentance as he has to absolve himself of his supposed sin as dictated by the religious ritual ,but this also asks the pivotal question of what is more important to human existence as the psychological battle between faith ,ritual and the conscience ensues.
While the locals miscreants try to malign the holy family by portraying them as sinners although the child is torn apart in a heart rending way and the priest observes endless ritualistic

Religion is a conception which is perceived as an ideology and exploited as an evil for nefarious personal motivations,
in the absence of a relevant and valid debate it turns into disastrous debacle and its consequences ruin human existence, the very exponents of faith are mercy and forgiveness but intolerance has relegated them into oblivion and the roost is ruled by a lawless breed who exploit a fragile social milieu for their own demonic designs, this is where Ayesha Talwars Dharma is possibly the most profoundly intelligent and obtusely unpredictable in its observation of the communal environment in contemporary India.
The plot surrounding an orthodox Hindu temple run by a pious but ritualistically dedicated priest who lives with his wife and daughter in absolute sanctity as decreed by the Shasta’s for Brahmins is indelibly imbued with an authenticity on the banks of the pure river Ganges in the holy city of Venarasi, where the young daughter brings an abandoned infant home who was left by his mother on the banks of the sacred river, the dilemma of the holy man is subtly shown as he questions the caste and origins of the child
