, said ,'This film reflects a generational shift in parenting. That change in perspective lies at the heart of our film.'
Renu Somani, national creative director, Thought Blurb Communications said, 'Today's mother isn't just parenting, she's growing with her teen. She's evolving, unlearning, listening, and effortlessly stepping into the role of a friend. And what's beautiful is, it's mutual. This film is a celebration of the quiet, unspoken friendship that so many mothers and daughters share today.'
The film shows a child's worry in modern times and sacrifices of the mother. The film begins with a daughter segregating friendship bands for her close friends and getting confused on who can get the title of a 'bestie'. The conversation then revolves around how her mother would have spent her days with friends, without the pressures of the current times. It shares the essence of the bond between a mother and her daughter that evolves continuously, into a lifetime bond full of so many emotions .

The agency has denied the accusations. 15 years later, G-Dragon is under investigation for copying: Here's what we know The initial report revealed that the Mapo Police Station in Seoul is currently investigating a complaint filed by composer A in November of last year, which claims that YG Entertainment copied a song he composed without his consent and then produced and distributed it as a part of an album. He is claiming copyright infringement charges. The concerned song is said to be named G-Dragon, which the complainant claims to have been changed to My Age is 13, by YG Entertainment and singer G-Dragon. The composer also alleges that the track was then promoted as a part of the BIGBANG star's live album Shine a Light as the song My Age Is 13 + Storm + Hip Hop Gentlemen + G-Dragon, with a runtime of 4 minutes 15 seconds as the 5th on the tracklist. After receiving the complaint, police questioned some of the individuals involved in the case and conducted 2 raids, at least one of which was said to be at YG Entertainment headquarters in Seoul. A police official was quoted as saying, "The investigation is currently ongoing and we cannot confirm specific details." A follow-up TV Report coverage stated that the accuser, Mr. A, also filed a complaint against Yang Min Suk, the current CEO of YG Entertainment and younger brother of Chairman and founder Yang Hyun Suk, and Choi Sung Jun, the CEO of its subsidiary YG Plus. YG Entertainment has shared its stance, denying the copying and instead sharing that two songs with the same title were listed during the preparation for G-Dragon's solo concert in 2009.
