A press conference to mark the launch of the Armaan website took place in April. Armaan meaning 'desire' is a family drama set against the backdrop of a hospital owned by philanthropist, Dr Sinha (Amitabh Bachchan). He dreams of running a state of the art hospital free from discrimination. Dr Akash (Anil Kapoor) is his son who is equally devoted to his profession. But Akash is soon thrown into an emotional turmoil when he meets Soniya (Preity Zinta), a rich arrogant young woman who attempts to buy his love through a financial agreement. The unusual climax soars as Akash becomes torn between his love for fellow colleague Neha (Gracy Singh) and his duty towards fulfilling his father’s dream. EROS International, the distributor, will be screening Armaan at this year’s Cannes Film Festival on 17th May 2003. They will be holding a pre-screening party for the event. |
