This is the story of a sweet Bangladeshi family and their darling kid – Rakib. Little Rakib is an overachiever in music, sports, academia and just at being a good kid in general.
In this looney world, his achievements and good deeds are rewarded with his family gifting him with mechanical drills, usually used to make holes in harder surfaces.
The film, created by Lowe Lint’s India turns on its head, when we finally reveal that the family wasn’t actually rewarding him with mechanical drills. The drills were symbolic of the candy/cake/chocolates that caused cavities.
The film tries to make the point that while we give kids sweet foods with the best of intent, we’re inadvertently causing them damage, unbeknownst to us. Pepsodent, understands this and is an antidote to this behaviour.
