Ventilator

Every year, the Kamerkar family comes together in their ancestral village to celebrate, with aplomb, the Ganpati festival. This year, with three days to go for the festival, a doyen of the family, the much-loved Gajju kaka, goes into a coma. He is put on life support – the Ventilator. Chaos ensues. Gajju kaka is in a hospital in Mumbai. From Mumbai, from the coastal village of the Kamerkar clan, from the United States of America, family members pour into the hospital. The hospital reception and corridors become the venues for comic mishaps, arguments, religious endeavors and reconciliation. By the time the ever-generous elephant God GANESHA arrives at the homes of his earthly flock, more than one member of the Kamerkar family has been taught a valuable life lesson by the ventilator.
