Rajat Kapoor is one of those few
guys of Bollywood that you can definitely trust blindly – may be when he is a
part of a project or the best is when he is at the helm of things. Like the
movie in subject – the moment I realized he has written as well as directed
this one – I had my hopes and expectations at exactly the right place and he didn’t
disappoint me rather made me way too happy. WOW! What an amazing movie this one
turns out to be – it actually made me “Time Travel” and sent me 3 decades back
to my hometown where every mohalla (neighborhood) had its own “Bauji” or “Ammaji”
as we used to call them, without whom none of the decisions will be made and
who will be a very important part of society, may it be for people to meet them
just like that over gossip, evening tea or time pass. Sanjay Mishra who had
been a part of movie industry for so long – finally gets his due in the form of
a full fledge movie and what an amazing way he pulls it – superb! Kudos to
Rajat Kapoor, his team, his circle of friends in the industry (Almost every one
of them has a cameo of some sort). It’s a roller coaster ride of a middle aged
man “Bauji” (Outstandingly played by Sanjay Mishra), who suddenly wakes up to
his own theory that what he sees is the reality and not what he hears from someone’s
mouth. How that theory changes his life upside down or we can call it – messes his
life up is the movie all about. But the way it’s all done is hilarious, loving,
emotional, inspiring, heartening and a lot of other things that you will surely
feel if you watch it. Not for one moment the story feels unconvincing or not
even one single character which feels out of place – almost everyone is an
important part and makes a great impression too. But the movie belongs to two
brothers and their family, at times it made me feel that I was watching my own
family drama, location is fantastic and almost feels so damn real that I just can’t
explain that in words – you’ve got to see it to believe it. I am sure if not
all – almost a majority of us would have lived in a house like that at some
point or the other. It’s a must watch for all cinema lovers – may not do well
from commercial aspect but will definitely be remembered for a long time and I
am surely up for a couple of more viewings. I will give it a damn good 4/5 with
two thumbs up recommendation for all.
