Bin Maa Ke Bachche

Bin Maa Ke Bachche (2009) is an Indian family drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Satyen Bose and featuring Tanuja Samarth and Shreeram Lagoo.

Nine-year-old Ashok and his little sister Gauri lost their mother four years earlier — she died days after Gauri was born. Their father is away in the city, working and saving, meaning to bring the children over as soon as he can afford a room. In the meantime they are left with a widow named Kamla: fine to her own son, but she works Ashok and Gauri like hired hands. One day, the children pack what little they have and set out for the city to find their father themselves.

At 127 minutes, the film takes its time and earns its emotion through specific, lived-in detail rather than melodrama. Stream Bin Maa Ke Bachche online on iFILM.
