Saptapadii had been released in theatres across India on 1 February 2013, and had a record-breaking run of 12 weeks. In addition to the financial success, the critical success is also evident from the fact that it has been selected into 7 film festivals in 5 countries, notably winning a Special Mention for the Green Rose at the Jaipur International Film Festival. It is also being described as the turning point in Gujarati Cinema.[1]

Plot

The story revolves around a couple Siddharth and Swati Sanghvi. Both are in their late 40s. Life takes a turn for the couple during a visit to Saputara, to celebrate their 20th anniversary, where Swati meets a 9-year-old child. Being an expert in treating traumatised kids, she recognises the symptoms in this child. Swati takes the onus of bringing the child out of trauma. Eventually it is revealed that the child is a victim of a terror attack and has lost both his parents in it. The film is about how the child changes the couple’s lives.[2][3][4]
