The Mehta Boys

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.

Had the pleasure of watching The Mehta Boys. I had high expectations after seeing the trailer, and the film not only met but exceeded them.

Boman Irani-what can I even say? We've all seen his brilliance in Munna Bhai, 3 Idiots, and so many other films, but with this, he proves that he's just as incredible a director as he is an actor. Every frame, every scene is crafted so beautifully-it's truly a work of art.

Avinash Tiwary was phenomenal too. His performance was powerful, and it's amazing to see such talent getting the platform it deserves.

I'm not someone who usually writes reviews, but this film absolutely deserves all the love. If you haven't watched The Mehta Boys yet, do yourself a favor and go see it. A must-watch!

Overview: Overall, I enjoyed this picture. It is extremely well acted and gripping. Even though it is a family drama, at no point does it feel slow or boring. I do wish they could have gone a bit deeper into what caused the rift between father and son, that would have added a bit more gravitas to the film.

Plot: The plot centers around the Mehta family who has just lost the mother of the family. Before migrating with his daughter to America, Shiv Mehta (Boman Irani) has to stay for a few days with his estranged son, Amay (Avinash Tiwary) - an architect who is not comfortable sharing his ideas at work.

The story focuses on the relationship between father and son and how that spills over into other areas of their lives.

Acting: The acting is excellent, with great performances by the two leads, Irani and Tiwary. They do manage to showcase the right emotions as the two men try to understand each other. They are ably supported by Puja Sarup as Anu Mehta and Shreya Chaudhry as Zara. Chaudhry in particular was excellent and is really excelling as an actress.

Conclusion: A good watch if you enjoy family dramas. Would recommend this movie.
