“Vanvaas” (2024) is a heartfelt drama that explores themes of aging, abandonment, and redemption. The film follows Deepak Tyagi, an elderly man suffering from dementia, who has spent his life devoted to his family. Despite his sacrifices, his children perceive him as a burden. In a cruel act of neglect, they trick him into traveling to Varanasi under the guise of a birthday celebration, only to abandon him at a ghat, leaving him confused and lost in an unfamiliar city.

As Deepak struggles to survive and piece together his fading memories, he encounters Veeru, a small-time thief with his own troubled past. Their unlikely bond leads to a transformative journey, not just for Deepak, but also for Veeru, who begins to reassess his choices. Through emotional storytelling, Vanvaas highlights the often-overlooked struggles of the elderly and delivers a powerful message about family, responsibility, and second chances.
