The film captures another social reality rather beautifully. Khurana as a big real estate agent is shown to be God loving, but not really God fearing. Throughout the film he is shown visiting pilgrimages as Tirupati and Vaishno Devi etc. He is an ardent follower of Mata Vaishno Devi (Jai Mata di, Mata ki marzi, Mata ka Hukum, Mata ka Prasad etc).
Khurana (and even Brijinder from World Famous Properties) represent a new breed of entrepreneurial Hindus who are very religious but not really spiritual. They practice the rituals and demonstrate the symbols of religion but little do they practice the real teachings. So the next time you see a car’s rear windscreen with stickers as Jai Mata di or some heavy-duty shloka – you know you are following one of those who are religious not really spiritual in their leanings.
