Shastry Viruddh Shastry

What a gem of a movie on Netflix! Kudos to directors Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee, who are known to have delivered many great films in the Bengali film industry. Shastry Virudhh Shastry, a remake of Bengali film Posto, is bound to touch a chord with those dealing with modern-day parenting. There are many Indian households where grandparents pay an active role in raising children, while the parents are slogging it off to win bread for the family. This particular tale is about what happens when these parents decide to take the child with them abroad. By now, the grandparents' world has already started revolving around the child. The matter leads to court and despite living in the same house, the parents and the grandparents fight it out legally. An innocent film that is rooted in reality, Shastry Virudhh Shastry is a must-watch this season!

If you hadn't watched original bengali movie 'Posto' then this is your time to watch one of the must watch movies about family bonding and relationship centered around a small child who is heart of all.

The story narration and script is one of the best I have come across and the acting by various actors is cherry on the top.

Movie has plenty of emotional areas with touch of joy,happiness,sadness which will make you feel the same .

The movie is completely centered around a family and will have too much resemblance to our day to day life and activities.

I would like to give 7.5 stars to this movie and is recommended must watch.

Acting of the son wasn't convincing, he was not able to convey his frustration and anger. He is angry in one scene and very next, he is singing a song. You needed someone stronger there against paresh rawal to play that scene. He challenges his father in one scene and is begging him in the next, very stupid scene.

The plot was good, story was good. Courtroom scenes are good and logical with good appeals from both side. Both side lawyers have played good role.

In the middle of all this, movie tries to talk about social issues like grandparents being parents for their grandchildren in India and US, which does not makes sense and jumps out of nowhere.

Movie could have been much better if it explained the son father chemistry properly and with some insights.

Story of a legal battle between grandfather and the father to claim custody of a child when parents decide to shift overseas. Expected it to be more intense n more emotional but it was quite a okayish drama. Highlights struggle of urban working parents to look after their child. Definitely could have been more better. But worth a one time watch provided you like very slow family story. My ratings 5/10!

There are many an instance where the court has granted custody of a minor to grandparents over parents and this possibility, in a nutshell, sums up the premise of Shastry Virudhh Shastry on Netflix. Though I believe there's no replacement for parents' love, here the inability of the parents to take full control of their lives comes with a dollop of logic. That's where Bengali directors Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy score. Amidst a bunch of mindless, logicless stories, this film shines like pure diamond. It's quick to create the modern way of living on reel and sucks you into the problems that come with it. I don't blame the set of parents at all as I know the stressful lives we lead nowadays, but I don't see any problem in the grandparents too wanting to stay with their grandson. We have to understand that everyone has a role to play in bringing up a child. And ultimately, he should not feel deprived.
