"Amal" which marks the directorial debut of Richie Mehta is a wry, fable-like tale of contemporary India, which follows the chain of events set in motion when an autorickshaw driver (Amal) allows a dishonest, seemingly homeless curmudgeon to cheat him of his fare.The film features Rupinder Nagra, Koel Purie, Naseeruddin Shah , Seema Biswas and Roshan Seth .

What is Indian Culture ? What is Hinduism / Indian philosophy ? What is Dharma or Religion ? What is the connotation of Dharma ? Is Dharma different from person to person ? Who is Hindu and what are his principles ? Why should there be so many disparities within Hindu and other societies ? We are faced with these questions all the time.
With a view to finding out the answers to these questions, we are starting this series of lectures which will deal with the eternal (sanatana) values enshrined in the ancient scriptures given to us by wise men and women of India. The external life styles may be varied from region to region but the fundamental culture is the same, binding the whole nation into one entity. We shall discuss in the series the cultural and philosophical aspects of Indian way of life which are centuries old and relevant even to modern times.
The following will be the tentative topics selected for this series :
- 1. Indian Philosophy – A Bird’s Eye View;
2. Indian Culture – Its Characteristics
3. Vedas and Upanishads – An Introduction
4. Pronouncements of Scriptures for the welfare and development of all beings.
