What is Dilemma about?
The film follows Shravani Manohar Naik, a 35-year-old Indian woman living in the United States, whose life is shaped by a childhood trauma-the acidental death of her mother at age six. Since then, her father Manohar has been her emotional anchor, bound by a promise to never leave each other alone. Now married and pregnant after two miscarriages, Shravani's current pregnancy is her last chance at motherhood. During her fourth month, she abruptly returns to her hometown of Vasai, sensing something is wrong. Her fears are confirmed when she learns her father is terminally ill, with only months to live. Devastated, Shravani longs to stay with him, but her husband insists she return to the US to secure their child's future. Caught between love, duty, and loss, Shravani must choose between honoring a lifelong bond and protecting the life growing within her, confronting the most paintul crossroads of her life. The film reflects a distinct India style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Nilesh Bhaskar Naik. With a runtime of 1h 37m, it offers a comfortable feature-length experience.
