Sunrise अ"णोदय (Arunoday) is a psychological drama about JOSHI,a police inspector from Mumbai who
has been looking for his 6-‐year-‐old daughter,ARUNA,ever since she disappeared from outside her school over ten
years ago.In his despair,Joshi’s life converges with a recurring dream in which he pursues a shadowy figure
who leads him to 'Paradise',a dance bar where teenage girls are forced to perform to a leering crowd

It's a topical film and the stats on missing children prove that beyond doubt.
A recent report into missing children in India by the Home Ministry shows that over 3.25 lakh children went
missing between 2011 and June 2014,at an average of nearly 1 lakh per year.
