One of the most under-rated but surely among the best Hindi movies of 2016. It is a family drama with a tinge of comedy and romance. But what stands out is the truthfulness with which the conflicts between all characters is portrayed. I guess any viewer will be able to relate the film to his family in some way or another. Casting for all the parts seems apt. Rishi Kapoor brings forward his acting prowess playing a 90 year old grandfather. He is the eldest Kapoor but his amazing comic timing brings a lightness to the film. The two grandsons are played by Fawad Khan and Siddharth Malhotra. Both play their parts well while you might at some instances find Siddharth strained to show his emotions. Alia Bhatt does not really play a central character but her performance stands out. She is effortless in her portrayal of a myriad of emotions from fun to romantic to sad. This movie is a bit of an emotional roller-coaster and bound to leave you teary-eyed at times.

I watched this movie earlier this evening tonight .I bought it online and made up little cozy environment to watch the movie. Movie Begins with A plot on a family who have there share of grief and love for each other just like it mostly happens in any families. Alia's charterer is little exaggerated but hey that how mostly girls are in today's world . Rishi Kapoor is undoubtedly the most love bale character of the movie All the character are good looking people so, that's a add on to the eyes and to box office as well.not that i am saying that you cant expect that from any Bollywood movie but this movie was an exception to my general perception towards all this "Big" Cinema we have running wild in our country. I watched till end and overall i am impressed i vote 8 stars for this one. P.s If you are north Indian family and then you may wanna skip this movie watching with your family

After a long time, I watched a Hindi film and it turned out to be a film that I can lend my criticism to. First thing first, it reminds me of Death at a Funeral! And it also reminded me of This is where I leave you.Now I was not expecting Dharma Production to go beyond mediocrity of the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai-s and the Student of the Year-s of the world... but with this one and a few other such ventures, they have tried to redefine their brand or must I say it is the influence of the 20th century fox collaboration...The movie as a whole was not bad, maybe didn't really suit the taste of the shallow Indian audience, but it was not the worst of the season.The movie however was full of scenes curated in cliché manner, induced into what we can call a decent plot. Then there are the Dharma production influence to introduce the audience some ideologies which the film house subscribes to, but it all falls into place. It is not really new, but this old wine in new bottle is refreshing, thanks to some decent performances and good handling and development of characters for the script. Acting is not as much a paralytic constrain in today's film industry in here as it used to be some years back.Rishi Kapoor was the best of the lot, Alia Bhatt impressed me with her rendition of the cliché- parents died in the plane crash role given to her. I think her role was initially stretched too far then completely forgotten. The director didn't spend a lot of time innovating the characters of either Rajat Kapoor or Siddharth Malhotra, they both were as if playing a character they left behind in their last film. While Kapoor can have a claim to acting prowess, this is the limit Malhotra can reach with his capabilities as a performer. Ratna Pathak was good, she has always been good at what she does on screen. The courage of Fawad Khan to take up the role that has a Dharma Ideology stamp took me by surprise... he was not really extraordinary and he didn't really do much different than what he did in the other movie, Khoobsurat! The peripheral characters were all too cliché and with them around Coonnoor didn't really seem like it was in South, but more like it is somewhere in Himachal.And for everything that is coming out of Bollywood, does it really have to Punjabi? Agreed that everyone wants to become as full of life as the Punjabi in their best of dreams, I mean no offense to the state and its rich culture and brilliant people, it is high time that people start showing other states and the associated culture in their renditions... for a change?Dialogue delivery was a concern, each of the character playing Kapoors had a different style despite being from the same family which was odd. Alia Bhatt didn't sound Mumbai-kar in her role either. And Siddharth Malhotra doesn't have another way to speak his lines anyways.This is at the end of the day a short novel material taken from a good movie from abroad... and lacked depth, more in the essence than the rendition and justifications that the actors try to bring to the table.Over all, enjoyable watch...

What a movie!!! A real portrayal of the LGBT character instead of what Bollywood has portrayed .. This is what they are in real life..just too normal to recognize.. Perfect son!! Successful and sensitive and understanding.. I watched this movie twice and it was as refreshing as it was when I watched for the first time.. First of all !! Hats off Fawad!! Take a bow!!! You deserve an award !! Rishi Kapoor is just superb!! And the storyline direction cameras were just brilliant !!! It serves all purpose for a perfect family drama... Of course Sid is a bit stone faced but gradually he will improve..all in all the representation of Gay character was just brilliant and he did it so smoothly.. This is what Indian audience need instead of all those girly feminine stereotypes of gay men..
