A press conference to mark the launch of the Armaan website
took place in April.
Armaan
meaning 'desire' is a family drama set against the backdrop
of a hospital owned by philanthropist, Dr Sinha (Amitabh Bachchan).
He
dreams of running a state of the art hospital free from discrimination.
Dr
Akash (Anil Kapoor) is his son who is equally devoted to his
profession.
But
Akash is soon thrown into an emotional turmoil when he meets
Soniya (Preity Zinta), a rich arrogant young woman who attempts
to buy his love through a financial agreement.
The
unusual climax soars as Akash becomes torn between his love
for fellow colleague Neha (Gracy Singh) and his duty towards
fulfilling his father鈥檚 dream.
EROS
International, the distributor, will be screening Armaan
at this year鈥檚 Cannes Film Festival on 17th May 2003. They
will be holding a pre-screening party for the event.
