Talking about the response to the film, the 60-year-old actress stated that the reception is amazing but her only concern is people should go to theatres. She elaborated on the same and quoted, “Actors will benefit when the audience will watch the film and producers will be able to make money. This is how we will be able to get similar films and roles. Sirf critical reviews se to paise nahin ayenge na (critical reviews don’t fetch money). But, good reviews help to uplift a film and bring people to the theatre.”
Furthermore, Neena narrated a story of her friend who was maltreated by her children. She recalled a friendly advice that she gave to her with regards to making a will for their kids but she didn’t listen and suffered later. “I had told them hundred times ‘marne se pehle makaan nahi naam karna bacho ke naam pe. But, they did it anyway. They were thrown out of the house during their ailment. People get emotional. This happens a lot because you can do anything for your kid. But, not necessarily they will be doing the same thing to you.”
For the unknown, Vadh revolves around an elderly middle-class couple who suffers a financial crunch after taking a hefty loan to send their son abroad. It turns from a family drama to murder mystery.
