Goodbye

The film may have hundreds of problems, and a boatload of flaws but through apt execution, it evolved to be something that was able to hold its ground pretty well.

Amongst a bunch of speculative rationales for why it may have succeeded, I genuinely feel their utilization of human emotions got the job done here, or you can say it is because of the meaningful confabulations deftly laid out in a back-and-forth fashion or the actors who have had to partake in those didactic chatters or perhaps a mixture of both that ultimately led this narrative to a heartwarming closure.

This is a film that will remind you of your close ones, more meaningful to those who had lost someone they dearly cared about. This tale will make you remember the memories you shared, all those joyous moments you spent together, and even those arguments and fights you got yourselves into, both good and bad things populate their respective spaces in your unstained vase of recollections.

Keep it safe, don't ever let it go, it's too precious.

The film falls flat in its comic timing though the comedy should have been dark or slightly dark like most funeral comic family dramas do.. There is nothing wrong in the writing apart from certain scenes being overtly on-the-face comedy (the beginning scenes) that is obviously forced on the characters to enact. The writing is slow in the first half and the to & fro to the past and present is definitely not working. The dialogues are again very silly, neither realistic nor cinematic or maybe it's the dialogue delivery because once Sunil enters the frame the dialogues are interesting even after he leaves the frame. There are illogical scenes too (car phone speaker scene).

The casting of Rashmika Mandanna is what brings the bigger part of the film down. She can't speak hindi well. Her pronunciations are yuck. Whenever she speaks either she tries hard on concentrating on her pronunciations or on her acting because none of them works. I think its the language that is holding her back from acting. There is no free flow of emotions.

The film's best moments are by Sunil Grover's Panditji character. Not that I am a Sunil fan but the character is like the savior in the midst of bad acting. Amitabh Bachchan is as usual good but his character is written half heartedly. He has done justice to his role though.

Neena hardly has any dialogue and yet she is a ray of sunshine. The lady who plays the care taker has very little to do but her simple looks and expressions are so much better than Rashmika's acting.

In short, letting the badly written first half, Rashmika's presence & pronunciations, the film in general has a good flow and is worth a watch.

Cannot say that the movie is flawless, but certainly watchable. As always, Amitabh and Neena Gupta are amazing and other actors have done their part well. A typical family drama with emotional angle+ few comedy scenes especially with unexpected performance of Sunil Grover. Few scenes will bring tears to your eyes if you usually get emotional during movies (I do!). The movie will definitely remind you of Irrfan's dialogue from Life of Pi : "I suppose in the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go, but what always hurts the most is not taking a moment to say goodbye." And I don't understand such a low rating. Definitely you can give it a try.

Two north Indians give birth to a South Indian accent Rashmika? Neenah Gupta and Sunil acting is too much to miss, Amitabh gets chNce to show his acting skills beautifully, the movie shows step by step procedure on what happens after death, Hum saath saath hain, was an unrealistic movie, this movie was more realistic, the movie made me emotional, I truly loved it, all actors played there role beautifully except Rashmikas over acting and South accent in hindi born to North Indian couples, the way Sunil shows how a religious man never gets angry is good, Rashmika is angry throughout the movie for no reasons, all the time,

What a funny and emotional film.

After a very long time, Bollywood has produced such a stunning film.

Death is the final but most important reality of life, and this film recounts the entire tale about it.

The movie masterfully depicts the feelings of the entire family when the most significant member of the family departs in the interim.

Different family members' emotional ups and downs are expertly depicted.

All of the actors gave their all in their performances, but Amitabh Sir & Meena Madam's chemistry easily outshines that of any brand-new coupling.

Rashmika Mandana does excellent acting.

After a long wait, Bollywood has finally produced a quality family film.

I adored it so.

Please watch it with your family.
