i don't think viewers will find it difficult unless they are pre-programmed in their senses as to what they want to see before entering the hall... if you enter with a free mind and are ready to hand over a licence to the director telling him, 'surprise me', i don't see any problem... if the viewer is like the religious multitude shown in the movie, the ones who confuse between being spiritual and being religious, the ones rigid with conventions and find anything experimental as glaring, then that there is a problem...

Some of it is straight from my own life experiences. Like many others, I too have been through an ultra-religious phase where I came across several people like Joshua Carlton. After a point, that façade collapses and you realise that these faith-healers are just as human as we are. There was a period of disillusionment, but I’m still a believer and I continue to look to Christ.
Viju is someone who’s had to deal with several extraordinary situations. He lost his mother early on and he couldn’t save his brother. Like both of them, Viju too suffers from psychological issues. He was once a believer but when he loses his mother, he became an atheist. But he feels he can replace the idea of God with positive self-motivating thoughts. He’s someone who became a motivational speaker to motivate himself and make a career out of it. But that approach doesn’t help him after his brother dies. Because he is ambitious, all he can think of is moving forward. So he packs his bags and moves to Bombay with the weight of all that mental baggage. He’s in a vulnerable state of mind and that’s when the idea of God is fed into him again. In a way, Viju is like the thousands of people that come to Joshua Carlton for guidance and hope.
