'''''For Real''''' is a 2009 film which follows the point of view of six-year-old Shruti (Zoya Hassan). Family discord has a deep impact on her and she starts feeling that her mother ([[Sarita Choudhury]]) is an alien from the [[Orion Arm|Orion galaxy]] who has exchanged places with her own mother.<br />
<br />
==Plot==<br />
6 year old Shruti (Zoya Siddiqi Hassan) believes her mother, Priya (Sarita Choudhury), has been replaced by an alien from the Orion galaxy. She turns to her brother ([[Sriharsh Sharma]]) for help, but he doesn't believe her. Her father as always is so wrapped up in his work that he remains unavailable to her. Unable to bear the absence of her real mother, Shruti decides to set out and get her real mother back.<br />
<br />
This is an intense movie dealing with the impact of seemingly trivial family tiffs on the tender psychology of a child. It portrays the world from the standpoint of a little child and shows how children perceive various things in life.<ref name="forrealfilm">[http://www.forrealfilm.com/microsite/forrealsynopsis.php ForRealFilm.com]</ref><br />
