The Webster Dictionary defines the word “Home” as a fixed residence where members of a family stay together. Home to a living being means much more than a mere place of residence. From the poor people living in makeshift houses to the rich in palatial bungalows, a home personifies security and comfort, which must be protected at all costs. In welcoming our guests, we exhort them to “make themselves at home” meaning to be as comfortable as possible: for indeed we are most comfortable in our homes.

In his quest for better homes man has shifted his abode from caves to the concrete. Initially unknowingly but slowly with an intent, man has encroached upon ecology to pacify his ambitions. He has razed jungles, slaughtered trees and animals, pushed the sea and the riverbanks: All this for his own growth and development.

The downside of the human aggression on ecology has been that the natural bounty has suffered. Animals have been reduced in number and pushed into extinction. Incessant cutting of trees have converted cities into concrete jungles. Though this has affected the human living in terms of increased pollution, health problems and global warming, man’s greed for more has not subsided.

There have been environment groups, vigilant people taking up the cause to save the green cover of the city. But the money-spinning attitude of the Builder lobbies and the indifferent attitude of the common man have made it difficult to nurture an atmosphere of change. Not to mention, the bribery, corruption and force used by the Builder lobbies and the officer bearers, to cut down trees in order to make their profits.

In metropolitan cities, trees are cut to display advertisement hoardings, for road widening or to construct new buildings which disturbs the ecology. In Mumbai alone approximately 20,000 trees are cut illegally every year, which is an alarming number.

“Zor Laga Ke Haiya” is a fight of a group of children to save a tree. The tribulations faced by them mirror the hurdles one has to cross to save even a single tree from the clutches of this money hungry lobby and the apathy of our society to this environmental issue. The narrative tells you how the children save a tree from being razed. Through a series of interesting action and adventure sequences, they make us understand the importance of saving even a single tree in this battle against concrete.

“Zor Laga Ke Haiya” is an interesting film with a save tree message, packaged in enjoyable moments that would motivate your family to fight for a cause.

Gemini Motion Picture’s film “Zor Lagaa Ke Haiya”, is a film with a Save TREE message, which is packaged in enjoyable story telling and fun-filled narration. While enjoying the fun and pranks of children, it would also motivate anybody to preserve the planet earth for future generations. And the team of Zor Lagaa Ke Haiya has chosen 22 May, ‘The World Earth Day’, to send this message out to the kids and adults alike, loud and clear.

Taking this motivation a step further, film “Zor Lagaa Ke Haiya” has joined hand with two NGO Vaatsalya and Aakansha, to put more emphasis on importance of nature and its preservation directly to children. “We have decided to hold a Painting Exhibition of young budding painters from these two organizations. And to give them the motive we have invited Mithun Chakraborty and five celebrity kids Megan, Ayesha Kaduskar, Hardik Thakkar, Ritvik Tyagi and Ashwin Chitale to see their paintings. Even if we can impress upon 10 children to be genuinely concerned about the environment then it is an achievement,” comments producer Kartikeya Talreja.

Adds the director Girish Girija Joshi, “about 100 children are taking part in this painting activity. They will be painting their vision and perception of nature and what would be the world like without any trees. In pour film children try to save one tree from being cut but it is only symbolic for the mindless destruction of forests all around us. Trees keep the balance of ECO system and we have to save them if we want a better world.”

World Earth Day is the day when focus is drawn to the value of environment. The yearning to save mother earth is stressed with more gusto and emphasis.
