Bollywood stays in the game with film about surrogacy

 

Bollywood is keeping right up to date with bioethical dilemmas. Mala Aai Vhhaychy! (I Want to Be a Mother) deals with the heartrending issues surrounding surrogacy. Mary, a model from America, goes to India to find a surrogate to bear a child for her. She chooses a poor woman named Yashoda, but five and half months into the pregnancy Mary learns that the child could be born handicapped and she returns to the US. The film opened in Mumbai in February. ~ St. Paul Business Journal, Jul 26
