Maharashtra: Family fights for justice after son's death at Vasai hospital; demands cancellation of hospital registration
VASAI: The Gupta family from Vasai has been relentlessly pursuing justice following the death of their 27-year-old son, Rupesh Gupta, who died on March 18, 2024, after being admitted to Breath Care Hospital with severe coughing. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The family alleges medical negligence and is seeking the cancellation of the hospital's registration. An FIR was registered in January 2025 at the Manikpur Police Station (Vasai West) against Dr Dharmendra Dubey of the Breath Care hospital under sections of culpable homicide not amounting to murder, following a report by the Palghar District Surgeon. The report confirmed lapses in medical care during Rupesh's treatment. According to the Guptas, Rupesh was not treated by qualified specialists but by individuals with BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery) backgrounds. The family claimed that Rupesh was not even given oxygen, and despite Dr Dubey never visiting the ICU, his consultation fee was charged. Rupesh's father, Lalman Gupta, stated that this is not the first time Dr Dubey has faced legal action. "There is already another FIR against him from a few years ago. With two serious cases on record, how is he still allowed to practice?" he questioned. Adding to the family's frustration is the lack of clarity over who is responsible for acting against the hospital. While Dr Bhakti Chaudhary, Medical Health Officer (MHO, VVCMC) claims that only the District Surgeon of Palghar can initiate cancellation proceedings, the District Health Officer's letter dated July 5, 2024, puts all responsibilities on the VVCMC, as its their jurisdiction. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Moreover, the Gupta's have claimed that Dr Chaudhary herself is a charge-sheeted witness in a 2022 case (FIR: 0152/2022) involving the same hospital and Dr Dubey, raising questions about her impartiality and inaction. DrChaudhary stated that the hospital registration cannot be canceled until the ongoing court case is concluded. "The FIR has been registered based on the civil surgeon's report. Action such as closure or deregistration will be taken only after the court verdict or a directive from the civil surgeon, as per the Bombay Nursing Homes Registration Act," she said. As the case continues to drag on in court, the Gupta family remains determined to seek justice and ensure that no other family suffers a similar fate due to alleged medical negligence and administrative apathy. Dr Dharmendra Dubey politely denied speaking on this issue.

‘Shashtipoorthi' review: A heartfelt family drama rooted in values and emotions
Veteran actor Dr. Rajendra Prasad leads the charge in Shashtipoorthi, a touching family drama that delves into the emotional complexities of familial bonds and traditional values. Directed by Pawan Prabha and produced by Rupesh under MAA AAIE Productions, the film also stars Archana, Rupesh, and Akanksha Singh in pivotal roles. Released on May 30, let's see how the film fares at box-office. Story: Shashtipoorthi unfolds around a deeply emotional and value-rich narrative that seems tailor-made for Rajendra Prasad. The story, set against the backdrop of a modern Indian family, explores interpersonal relationships, love, and generational values. The plot weaves through poignant moments of connection, self-discovery, and emotional reconciliation. A romantic subplot also adds depth, offering a sensitive and realistic portrayal of love — something rarely seen in recent cinema. Performances: Rajendra Prasad is outstanding, embodying his role with grace and authenticity. Archana delivers yet another powerful performance that anchors the emotional arc of the film. Rupesh and Akanksha Singh complement the leads well, offering earnest and compelling portrayals. The chemistry and nuanced acting by the entire cast contribute significantly to the film's emotional impact. Technicalities: Director Pawan Prabha makes the film stands out as a message-driven story crafted with simplicity and sincerity. His writing and direction are sensitive and grounded, drawing from relevant societal themes. Music legend Ilaiyaraaja's score elevates the film's emotional resonance. His compositions, including a soulful track sung by Yuvan Shankar Raja, are memorable and fitting. The songs, especially those rooted in classical aesthetics, complement the story beautifully. Thota Tharani's art direction deserves a special mention — his visuals add texture and depth, making the world of Shashtipoorthi feel authentic and vibrant. The production design and visual tone are subtle yet effective. Analysis: Shashtipoorthi is a rare gem — a clean, message-oriented family film that avoids unnecessary commercial gimmicks. It celebrates the essence of relationships and traditions without veering into melodrama. The cast and crew should be appreciated for their sincere storytelling and performances. In an era of spectacle-driven cinema, Shashtipoorthi serves as a reminder that genuine emotions, strong performances, and meaningful storytelling can still strike a chord. A must-watch for those who cherish rooted, heartfelt cinema. Rating: 3/5

Director Pawan Prabha speaks about ‘Shasthipurti'
Director Pawan Prabha's Shasthipurti, featuring veteran actors Dr. Rajendra Prasad and Archana in key roles, is all set to hit theatres on May 30. Produced by actor Rupesh under the MAA AAIE Productions banner, the film also stars Akanksha Singh as the female lead.

With a background in hotel management but a heart rooted in cinema, Pawan revealed that his passion for storytelling and moral messaging drove him to filmmaking. Shasthipurti is a culmination of years of effort, during which he ensured legendary composer Ilaiyaraaja came onboard. 'Many wondered how I could bring him in, but I believed this story needed his music,' he said. Set in the scenic Godavari region, the film is a tribute to parents and the vanishing warmth of joint families. 'In today's times, some see parents as burdens. This film is my way of highlighting their greatness,' he noted. The trailer has already created buzz, with audiences praising the emotional depth and impactful score. Pawan emphasized that every character, especially those portrayed by Rajendra Prasad and Archana, was developed with clarity and intent, showcasing them through different life stages.

With lyrics by Chaitanya Prasad, Rehman, and Keeravani, and Ilaiyaraaja's timeless music, Shasthipurti promises to be a soul-stirring experience. 'The censor board didn't ask for a single cut. That itself speaks volumes,' Pawan concluded, adding that he has several projects lined up post-release.
