The film ‘ACC Bharosa Atoot’, takes viewers on an enchanting journey that beautifully captures a range of emotions and experiences, with trust as the cornerstone.

The storyline, rich in symbolism, begins with an evocative scene of an airplane’s shadow touching down gracefully on an airstrip. It’s a metaphorical homecoming, a return to trust. Following this, we see an army, the embodiment of resilience and dedication, marching forward. Their unity is captured in a simple yet profound moment when two hands meet in a handshake – a silent declaration of the trust soldiers place in each other, which is emphasised by the words ‘Bharosa Lagta Hai’.

As she rushes to envelop him in a hug, the scene encapsulates the pure, unadulterated bond between a father and daughter. A mother looks on, her eyes reflecting a mix of pride and emotion, her smile capturing the essence of family and the ties that bind.

    Navigating through the picturesque hill road on a serene drive, the narrative captures a mother’s gentle guidance steering her family home, while a reassuring touch from the father underlines their shared journey and bond symbolizing the trust of ACC. Adding another dimension to the tale, the vast expanse of a concrete bridge and dam emerges as a testament to the quality and durability synonymous with ACC. The ending is on an emotional note, culminating with the entire family coming together and leaving the simple yet powerful message – ‘Ghar bhi bharose se banta hae’.

    Cement business CEO Ajay Kapur said, “From urban megastructures to every home, ACC has played an instrumental role both in India’s growing infrastructures and in the lives of common people. Through this film – Bharosa Atoot’, we would like to take people on a journey of why we build what we build.
