“You know this happens often? we know of somebody who went by a same experience,” a lady pronounced to her crony in a theatre. we listened a identical review during a preview screening of executive Umesh Shukla’s 102 Not Out. Obviously, we wasn’t a usually one removing emotionally concerned with a story maturation on screen.

102 Not Out‘s story is as aged as time. It’s about a sacrifices relatives make in sequence to give their children a good life, usually to be deserted by them in their aged age. What creates this film opposite from others formed on a same thesis is a intercourse between a dual lead actors – Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor. Having played many noted roles in their long, shining careers, a veterans are behind together on a large shade after roughly 3 decades, and they are like a residence on fire.

Dattatraya Vakharia [Bachchan] is a 102-year-old fun-loving and free-spirited man, who wants to mangle a universe record of vital for 118 years, a record hold by a Chinese male Wong Chong Tung. On a other hand, Babulal Vakharia [Kapoor] plays his 75-year aged son, who is concerned and follows a paltry life. Because of his depressed life, Dattatraya decides to send his son to an old-age home, though Babulal disagrees. Dattatraya agrees to stay with him on condition that his son will do a few tasks.

Shukla tries to keep a film breezy, nonetheless high on emotions. The screenplay by Saumya Joshi, who also penned a eponymous Gujarati play that desirous a film, feels sketchy during times. Despite some groundless moments in a plot, 102 Not Out keeps a viewers concerned all a approach compartment a climax. Though a dash drops extremely in a second half, Shukla ensures that a story doesn’t remove a charm. Admittedly, it does get preachy and we find yourself changeable in your seats when Babulal creates a large climactic explanation to his son that feels forced.

The beauty of a film is that nothing of a pitfalls eventually matter. The film wins we over with a ignorance and simplicity. Actor Jimit Trivedi, as a errand boy, deserves a special discuss as he provides some of a film’s lighter moments with his over-the-top acts. But Bachchan and Kapoor’s free performances, joined with their distilled shade participation make this film value watching.
