Apna Asmaan (2007):–In order to make their autistic child a genius, a couple injects a drug into his body, only to face drastic consequences later.
Ravi Kumar (Irrfan Khan) and Padmini (Shobana) are middle-class parents struggling to raise their son, Buddhi, who is diagnosed with a developmental disability. While Ravi tries to accept their child as he is, Padmini constantly pushes for a “cure” that could make their son smarter and more socially acceptable.
The family’s life takes a dramatic turn when Ravi gives Buddhi an experimental brain-boosting drug. It works—but at a cost. Buddhi becomes a genius but loses his emotional connection with his parents, leading to a deeper exploration of what it truly means to be “normal” or “successful.”
