This story is inspired by two superhit Hindi movies-
1. Amar Akbar Anthony

2. Yaadon Ki Baraat

Somehow, seeing the three guitars, I thought of the three names that form part of a movie title and refer to three brothers- Amar, Akbar and Anthony- who had got separated in their childhood and were raised in three different religions. They get to meet later when they are adults.
In the second movie, there is a superhit song that one of the singer brothers always sings during his performances, hoping to reunite with his two lost brothers. His efforts bear fruit as the three brothers join together :)
There are many Hindi movies in which the locket and chain help in the identification of a long-lost and found child who's now an adult :)
I am a HUGE movie fan, are you?
Have you watched any Hindi movie i.e. Bollywood movie ever?
Please do share in the comments below.
