Jindal's dream is to create a cancer hospital in memory of his late mother.

That dream is only four days away, when he will attend the inauguration of the hospital.

But so is the imminent death which is about to happen within the family. Ricky finds out that his life is now hanging in the balance.

When Sanam gets to know about this, her dreams are shattered.

As for Ricky, he is enamoured by Sanam's love and moved by the affection and support from Jindal and his wife Sandhya (Rati Agnihotri).

Touched by their concerns, he finds a new meaning in life.

So will true love and human feelings triumph over death?

Shukriya manages to answer this question as the film explores new dimensions of love, life and death.

Shukriya forms the directorial debut of Anupam Sinha who has attempted something very novel in this Bollywood drama.

He has also written the screenplay for this film which is shot in the UK and Switzerland.

On the whole, Shukriya is a surprisingly light-hearted emotional love story about a guy who knows that his death is just a few moments away... but still aims to live life to the fullest.

Result - he falls in love. But now, it's time for him to go, as the gates of heaven open for him.

So the stage is set for Shukriya (meaning thank you), an emotional journey being released by Tip Top Entertainment, in major cinemas across the UK.

Previewed by Manish Gajjar,
BBC Shropshire's Mr Bollywood.
