Actor Rahul Bose gets behind the camera for the first time since his 2002 directorial debut Everybody Says I'm Fine! with this compelling and visually breathtaking drama taken from real life. On May 25, 2014, 13-year-old Malavath Poorna became the youngest woman ever to scale the heights of Mount Everest. An adivasi (indigenous) teen from southern India, Poorna comes from a very poor background but had the good fortune to attend a welfare school, escaping the fate of most girls of her class ("I'm a Power Girl, not a poor girl," is her personal refrain.) Selected as a symbol of the welfare school system, her accomplishment is nevertheless hard-won, through a grueling training regimen and by overcoming personal obstacles.

A person can do anything, no matter if they are an adult or just a child. It depends on whether they'll pursue it, whether they want to fulfill their dream, and whether they'll get at least some conditions for it. This is what Poorna shows nicely. I have to admire the girl, because I certainly couldn't have done something like that. But the strength of spirit is beautiful.
