Movie Review (Hindi)
There are some things in life which the
younger generation take for granted. For example – Parents are there primarily
to fulfill the needs of children or the household. That they are two
individuals who are human beings with the same sense and sensibilities as them
does not seem logical to them.
So when a middle aged couple, (played
expertly by Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao) expect another child after 16/17 years,
there is a negative eruption in the house and bad jokes and rib poking float
around among friends, relatives and acquaintances.
The movie deals with this subject and deals
with it expertly. The elder son of the couple, Nakul (played by Ayushmann
Khurrana) is working and has a girlfriend (played by Sanya Malhotra), his
younger brother is in class XII and both become butts of jokes. Strangely, it
is only when Nakul’s girlfriend Renee’s mother talks about the embarrassment
that the older couple has caused, that Nakul speaks out for his parents and is
able to see things in proper light.
Funnily enough, this kind of a situation, (late
pregnancy), was a common occurrence just two generations ago.
Though the film is not a big budget one,
meaning there are no huge stars in it, the actors are the best in the business.
The person who simply stands out with her act is Nakul’s Granny, played by
Surekha Sikri. She cantankerous, very annoyed with her daughter in law at all
times, furious that the son and daughter- in-law should indulge in love making
at their age but also standing up for them when society makes fun of them.
These are the kind of films that will rule
the roost because they hit closer to home. It is primarily our story that we
see on screen and we love to watch it from the outside watching how things
unravel and then fall into place.
