Vanvaas

Vanvas is a simple and wonderful story, with Nana Patekar in the best role of his life, and Utkarsh too has won everyone's heart. Jeetendra Sahani Jeet

Jeet: It is said that parents bear all their troubles and sacrifice their comforts and give everything to their children but when these children grow up, they consider their parents a burden and leave them like orphans in old age homes or somewhere else, something similar is the film Vanvas produced and directed by Anil Sharma. This film will definitely remind you of old films like Amrit, Swarg starring Rajesh Khanna and Baghban starring Amitabh Bachchan. The film is very good. In some parts, Anil Sharma suggests that he could have made a more thoughtful film and imagined a world of grey instead of just black and white. In this case, separated parents Deepak Tyagi Nana Patekar who is losing his memory, but the only positive thought of his (Nana Patekar) children was that he also loves them very much. In the greed of more money, the son and daughter leave him on the ghat of Varanasi and return to their home and perform his shraddha karma and that too for just a few rupees. The writer of the film Sunil Srivaiya has left no stone unturned to make this film better, every part has been presented very well. The first part of the film is a bit slow before the intermission but after the intermission its success is commendable. Uttarkarsh's Banarasi character is quite interesting,Uttarkarsh also has some weak parts, who will definitely improve his art in the future and he has also done a great job in terms of acting. The work of all the other actors is also very commendable. You must watch this film once with your whole family, especially the youth.

In end I want to say my eyes are full of tears after watching the movie.

Movie Review: 'Vanvas'

'Vanvas' is a deeply emotional film that beautifully portrays the challenges of aging parents and the neglect they often face from their children. Nana Patekar delivers a heart-wrenching performance as a father who, after losing his wife, is left to fend for himself. Despite raising his three sons with love and sacrifices, they fail to understand his needs when he grows old and develops a memory loss condition.

The movie highlights the painful truth that just as children are weak and dependent on their parents, elderly parents also require care and love in their later years. However, the children, consumed by their own lives, forget the sacrifices their parents made for them.

The story takes a moving turn when an outsider, a man who isn't biologically related to Nana Patekar's character, steps in. This man, who was once an orphan himself, showers the father with unconditional love and care-something even his own children fail to do. The bond between the two grows stronger, transcending blood ties, and reflects the true meaning of love and compassion.

'Vanvas' is not just a film; it's a poignant reminder of the importance of family, respect, and empathy. It compels us to question how we treat those who once gave us everything. A must-watch for its powerful performances and a message that will stay with you long after the credits roll.

As a fan of Nana Patekar and Rajpal Yadav, I was drawn to Vanvaas for their performances, and they didn't disappoint.

Nana Patekar delivers a powerhouse performance as Deepak Tyagi, a dementia-stricken father abandoned by his family.

His raw emotion, especially in the heart-wrenching climax, is the film's biggest strength and worth watching alone.

Rajpal Yadav adds a touch of humor with his witty dialogues, providing much-needed relief in this heavy drama.

However, Vanvaas struggles to live up to its potential. The screenplay feels overly melodramatic and predictable, leaning heavily on dated Bollywood tropes that remind you of Baghban but without its polish or emotional depth.

The film tackles the important issue of elderly neglect, which resonates, but the one-dimensional portrayal of Deepak's sons and daughters-in-law as cartoonish villains lacks nuance.

Supporting actors like Simrat Kaur and Ashwini Kalsekar are underutilized, with roles that feel underdeveloped or overly theatrical.

Technically, the film falters too. The background score is excessively loud, clashing with the emotional tone, and the outdated cinematography and poor dubbing detract from the experience. Mithoon's songs are forgettable, failing to leave a mark.

At over 2 hours and 40 minutes, the runtime feels bloated, and tighter editing could have made it more impactful.

For fans of Nana Patekar and traditional Bollywood family dramas, Vanvaas offers enough emotional moments to keep you engaged, but its flaws - predictability, melodrama, and technical shortcomings hold it back.

I wouldn't have watched it without my admiration for Patekar and Yadav, and their performances make it worth a one-time watch .
