MUMBAI: Filmmaker Gitanjali Sinha’s Yeh Khula Aasmaan has received top honours at the Haryana Film Festival that ended recently.

Starring Raghubir Yadav and Yashpal Sharma, the film revolves around a kid learning how to soar again like a kite, notwithstanding his academic failures.

Yeh Khula Aasman revolves around Avinash, a 12th standard student staying alone in a metro city, who does not do too well in his exams. His career-oriented parents compromise on their parenthood responsibilities to take up permanent residence in London, leaving Avinash to fend for himself in an emotional vacuum.

Unable to take peer and parental pressure to excel in studies and bereft of any true friends, Avinash becomes lonely and hence depressed. He decides to escape his routine and visit his grandfather who has been staying alone in a small town in North India.

What happens when Dadu realises the fragile mental state of Avinash forms the crux of the film.

In short, the film is a relationship-based motivational film that touches the audience of all ages with specific message to both the youth and their parents.
