The Mehta Boys

Boman Irani's Mehta Boys explores the troubled relationship between a father and a son. The story unfolds after the loss of the mother when they are forced to live together for 48 hours. Without being too direct, the film beautifully establishes their strained bond through subtle interactions and mannerisms. The father and son's stubbornness is portrayed well, highlighting both the emotional distance and the care they still have for each other.

The setting, architectural commentary on the city, and subtle humor add to the film's charm. The camera work and editing are excellent, immersing the audience in the film's world despite a limited cast.

Avinash Tiwary once again proves his talent and is undoubtedly an actor here to stay. However, it is Boman Irani who truly shines as the father, excelling in portraying the character's stubbornness and affection simultaneously. Shreya Chaudhary and Puja Sarup provide solid support. The film offers glimpses into the reasons behind their strained relationship, though a deeper exploration could have strengthened the emotional connection. Overall, Mehta Boys captures one of the most beautiful yet complex relationships-the bond between a father and son-with honesty and warmth. A heartfelt and refreshing watch. Highly recommended!

OVERALL - 9/10.

Boman Irani debuts as a director with this film, and with good reviews all around, it was inevitable that I wouldn't miss it.

Amay, a young architect with a tumultuous relationship with his father, is forced to stay with him for 48 hours after the sudden death of his mother. With constant bickering and fights at home, along with professional stress, how will things unfold for the father-son duo?

The premise may not seem extraordinary, but it is the screenplay that makes this film special. The strained relationship between father and son keeps the narrative engaging, as both parties are right in their own way. If you're 30+, you may relate to many of the incidents. The film's slow pace works in its favor, allowing you to connect deeply with the characters. Whether it's Amay's boss, girlfriend, or sister, all his relationships feel straight out of reality. However, the monologue by Amay in the office meeting, though impactful, feels cinematic against the otherwise realistic tone of the film.

Avinash Tiwary is perfect in his role-you can't imagine anyone else playing it. Boman Irani literally runs the show with his screen presence and impeccable acting skills. Their chemistry feels natural and works well, but a loophole remains: the film never explicitly mentions why they are estranged. Bandish Bandits fame Shreya Chaudhry is equally good and puts her best foot forward in this role.

I've always adored Boman as an actor, but with this film, he proves he is a class director who should make more movies. The wide shots, especially the use of rain as a backdrop, are a masterstroke. The color grading is another brownie point for the film, adding to its charm.

This is one of the best films of the year. Don't miss this light yet impactful movie-it will stay with you for a long time.

Nice script but the screen play was great Top notch direction & acting Casting looks just perfect A must watch movie.

Locations looked great and realistic The car driving scene was realistic .

Interesting thing was , every closed looks taken looked very much relative and realistic.

No doubt the director did a great job. Hotel scene was made great. Usually overacting happens in this kind of storyline but this case was very fine. Every character ensured that only the required acting is done.

The office room scene was also fine , the boss character did a great job. The casting was great for the boss. Only suggestion was to make the daughter character a bit more detail.

Overall a great picture.

This decade we watched Animal, a movie that talks about Father-Son relation in a very distutbing and violence way possible. And now we see this masterpiece by Boman Irani, The Mehta Boys, which I believe is genuinely a better way to portray this relationship of Father and Son.

Such a sweet and inspirational story, I wish this movie gets the appropriation that it deserves. Aniwash Tiwary nailed the character and I must say Boman Irani proved that he can sit on the Director's chair.

There is nothing to complaint about. The performance of each character, though there only a few faces we could spot, but all they actors did a very good job.

The movie successfully shared its vision to the audience. It compiled many un-spoken territories in the individual and social atmosphere. Where I could see the forgotten soul of the nation and emotional and tricky bond of a father-son.

I genuinely wanted this movie to shine like a source to get inspired emotionally. It really worked well.

Thanks Boman and team to make it happen.
