Aachari Baa

Amazing feel good and real life story. In today's world, kids are really very self centred. Thought provoking story.

And amazing thing is I have started thinking positively to have a pat once my kids go on their own path. As it is said, their love is unconditional, it seems so true.

Nina Gupta too good. Looking so pretty. Also liked the overall.positivity in the movies inspite of movie is based on reality check. When you will finish the movie, your mind nad heart will be very light. Everyone must watch it. With so much of hate and crime, it's a good refreshing movie. The connection between ba and Jigar is amazing.

Who decided to keep the background sound so high that the dialog is not even audible in medium volumn settings?

With best of the actors (and indeed they did their best.. all of them) , with an awesome story line and with all the ingredients for a good movies, the director singlehandedly destroyed the movie.

I watched the movie till end for the charector of baa and Nina gupta (and others) acting performance

I have observed it lately that the new age hindi movies (like this one) lacks the creativity of film making and just follows a "format" and "modular" approach spoiling the creativity that we use to see in few decades old movies even when there were not so good movie making tech that time...

The more I see these movies the more my respect for good movie directors go high..

very very horrible direction of a "to be a good" movie.

5 Minutes into the movie, and I just had to turn it off. Background noise is awful, making it hard to hear the dialogue. I had to read the subtitles to understand, despite knowing the language.

So, I just did not want to put the extra effort of reading subtitles to keep up with the movie.

But, how did the movie get approved to be uploaded to the streaming platform without verifying the quality of the audio? That is beyond my understanding. JioHotstar, you need to do better quality control. I love Neena Gupta's acting and 3 stars are for her only. I wanted to watch it, but sorry Neena ji, couldn't bear such a bad quality of audio.

Maybe I had high expectations but unfortunately, the film fell somewhat flat for me due to its lack of depth. The story follows Jaishnaviben, a Gujarati elderly woman who runs a pickle business in her village as she struggles to adjust to city life when she visits her son in Mumbai after 10 years.

The film raises important questions about relationships..what defines them? Is blood ties necessary, or can love, care and 'being there' be enough? While the movie touches on these themes, it doesn't delve as deeply as I had hoped. Jaishnaviben's struggles to connect with her son and his family serve as a poignant reminder that relationships transcend biology.

What struck me was the protagonist's deeper connection with her son's golden retriever. The dog's unconditional love and acceptance are often more relatable than the distant affection of one's own grown children. This subtle yet powerful dynamic speaks volumes about our human need for connection.

Neena Gupta shines as Jaishnaviben, bringing quiet dignity to her character and making her struggles feel real and relatable. Her performance is the highlight of the film.

While the screenplay is predictable and simplistic with gaps in character development, Neena Gupta's performance and the catchy song that I loved it - Chammak Chammak make it worth watching.

My question arises from here that why is the millennial generation shown like this. That they only want to use the elderly or leave them to their fate. Why was it not shown what was the attitude of Baa towards her son. Baa also has a mobile, she can make calls to make others happy but not to explain or scold her son. When she could have a ticket to go Mumbai to Rapar, then she could have also got a ticket to go Rapar to Mumbai many years ago. We all learn from our family, what we see, we do in the future. This shows that Baa was not attached to both her mother-in-law and mother. In India, in a family where there is a lot of love, there is also conflict too.

When the new generation work hard for studies, has to go to the city for a job. So they want to call their parents to them. Come stay with us. So the answer comes, 'What will we do now, we have spent our whole life here. How will we settle down in a new city?' So the new generation says that you should not be interested in the city people, you have to come to us, you have to love us.
