The verdant green landscape, the magnetic blue waters and the warm bright sunshine of beautiful Goa is home to one of the greatest magicians of his time, Ethan Mascarenhas (Hrithik Roshan). Presently hosting a Radio Show that spreads magic and hope and laughter through his irrepressible wit and humor to every listener and caller, it is difficult to imagine that this is a man who has been immobilized with a spinal injury for the last fourteen years of his life. Ethan is aided through every moment of his present life by the epicenter of his world - his Nurse, Sofia D'Souza (Aishwarya Rai). Theirs is a love beautiful in its implicit silence, unwavering in its quiet strength and spirited in their constant verbal sparring. On the fourteenth anniversary of his accident, Ethan decides to seek control over his own life. He makes a petition to the Court that shocks the world and leaves Sofia in an impasse that challenges their relationship and their love. Alongside all the tumult that follows, a young man named Omar Siddiqui (Aditya Roy Kapoor) bursts into Ethan's world with a single-minded desire to learn magic from the very best. While on one hand Ethan passes on his magical legacy, on the other, he fights tooth-and-nail to demand the most basic right that every human being is entitled to - the right to his own life. The ethics, the morality, the kindness and cruelty of this mission creates a storm in all the lives that it envelops and its resolution forms the startling conclusion of Ethan's remarkable journey.

It's been quite some time since I became a friend of the Indian film miracle. I have already shared some of the happiest moments that can be spent with a movie, from tearful four-hour family dramas to the perfection of love in many ways to the pleasure created by the mere pleating of a sari. But it seems that only now have I encountered the real thing. If I could choose from the entire spectrum of this beautiful cinematic land and award a sixth star, it would go to Bhansali's imaginary jewel called The Request. If acting concerts are so often talked about in the context of, for example, minimalist productions or intimate dramas, believe me, they can be unmistakably placed in the frame of a big film. Hrithik and Aishwarya's mastery finds no comparison in any of her previous work and leaves even their first encounters in otherwise excellent projects far behind. Working with the setting of Mascarenhas' home and placing him functionally among the main characters of the plot is one of the great choices and only enhances the overall experience. Likewise, the impeccable color composition, regular play with different moods, and a plethora of emotions leads to enjoyment above all. This story is not just about the question of being, but about life itself.
