Rishi Kapoor’s acting is impressive. He died during the making of the film hence, Paresh Rawal completed his role. Those who are not aware of this , may likely get confused with Rishi Kapoor and Paresh Rawal appearing on and off. Both performed excellently. All the other actors too (Juhi chawla, Suhail Nayyar, Isha Talwar, Parmeet sethi), have done a good job.
The biggest plus point is that the film depicts today’s problem faced by a retired person. What an elderly man goes through when he retires and the problems he faces in the society from his two sons and relatives. His family ignores him and makes fun of his daily routine. This film is realistic and deals with the burning issues.
Hitesh’s direction is quite good and he has a good handle on the subject with great conviction.
The back drop is Delhi which has been portrayed well.
Film gives a strong message to those who retire from their services, what should they do and how to spend their whole day.; especially when they do not get support from their family and relatives. If one wants to do something new, children usually make fun. It sends a great message to today’s youth on how they should understand their parent’s habit and change their behaviour.
The story of the film is quite simple. Film is full of light entertaining and emotional moments. The screenplay is simple which would be liked by people. Dialogues are appropriate.
Film released on OTT platform (Amazon). There is no star value. A first time experiment that some other actor has completed the portion of the main lead actor who expired before completing the film. It’s a perfect OTT platform film and will surely make you feel good.Ends
