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.

It's a very good story, narrative, the first two-thirds of it are really good, the story developed well, but it didn't pack the punch that it had the potential for. A lot of things were unrealistic, like the father and son having a case against each other, yet sitting together and eating. The ending was also weird, very strange. Also, why couldn't they all stay together? They never convinced guruji to come with them, there are a lot of unexplainable things in the story. But the acting was good, by a lot of actors, Paresh Rawal was brilliant as always. The movie made me cry at one point, but again, it had a lot of potential and could have been much much better. Sad it didn't end the way or carry the potential it had till the end.

While it may not touch on the highs of a family drama with comparable themes, the story does a pretty good job of putting forth the basic principles of two different ideologies-the conservative and progressive-in the most sincere way possible.

The most impressive thing is that the writing does not take any particular side, nor does it show bias or tend to project partiality; it criticizes both, judging them on equal grounds.

However, the drama lacks the punch and efficiency of such narratives, and as a result, the fruits it bears in the end leave a half-baked, inutile impression.

A tighter, more productive screenwriting could have fixed this issue.

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!

Shastry vs Shastry has completely won my heart. What a magnificent film on such a difficult subject where parents and grandparents stake claims on a child and the latter, bound by love, doesn't know what he really wants. The child actor Kabir Pahwa is a revelation in himself and is believable when he's clinging onto his grandfather's shirt or observing his parents at the dinner table. Despite being small, he came across as a very good actor. Being a big fan of Paresh Rawal, I truly felt this film adds a lot to his already-beautiful filmography. What a heart-warming performance as a grandfather, who is strict to his own son, but can move mountains for his grandchild. The film delves into a middle-class home and brings out many a wonderful moment. I was particularly moved by the mother's dilemma. Played gracefully by Bengali actor Mimi Chakraborty, the character embodies modern-day motherhood.

Don't know who is writing such dumb stories. Old grand parents don't want their own children to come home but somehow becomes decision maker to keep grand children. Things don't add up. Smaller things are portrayed parents in bad light. The arrangements are not rational or logical.

In reality the parents are supposed to be decision maker to see what they eat where they go to school etc. But the roles are flipped without any logical explanation. The grand parents are so selfish to keep grand children in village and keep opportunities away from small kid. All kids working in USA portrayed as greedy, no explanation given why?

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.

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!

Only recently Delhi High Court appointed maternal grandparents as 'guardians' of a minor and only allowed visitation rights to the father in a very important case. Shastry vs Shastry holds a mirror to the society where we are living in currently. Sometimes it's the grandparents who take responsibility of their grandchildren while the parents are away on work and unable to take the onus of raising children on themselves. Nobody is at fault. Demanding work pressure is breaking familial ties and causing near and dear ones to separate. This film reflects on this issue while harping on each of the character's lives. There are some beautiful moments that are so real and I could connect with them so easily. When the child actor walks out of home, he not only says bye to the human beings present there but also the inanimate objects. It's a beautiful tribute to childhood as well.

The underlying concept is so strong that it forces you to confront a grey situation. You are always torn between 2 sides and which one you should be supporting.

Even after the movie, I am still not confident on chosing a side if I were asked to judge the custody of the child.

On the one side there is a mother who has been working 12 hours a day to support her family. Since both the parents are working hard to make ends meet both the parents and grand-parents decide to let the grand parents do the up-bringing. In the meanwhile the parents would settle down and eventually take over the upbringing.

What eventually ends up happening is that even after 7 years the father is not settled while the grand-parents are now emotionally attached to the child.

As fate may have it the father is offered a business partnership overseas. They decide to take their kid with them. But the grand parents disagree.

What ensues is a legal battle full of no clear answers and a child that's caught up between 2 sides both of whom love him very much.

The screenplay could have been sped up but I love these grey movies. They force you to ponder over how you want your life to be and how tough situations can be.

Such a movie is one in thousands in which human emotions are given such depth.

I am in tears while watching the last scene.

If you have not seen this movie then what have you seen?

Maybe you should take a look.

This movie is so illogical. There is no basis to any scene or dialogue that takes place. Pure nonsense from the beginning to the end of the movie. Story is completely ridiculous and characters are terrible. This movie does not belong in this time period at all. Very regressive, old fashioned, outdated views are being projected in the movie.

The story is about a battle between a father and son over the grandson. It's portrays some key issues in recent days. Progressive world vs regressive world. The overall making is pretty simple. That made the whole movie more entertaining and soothing. Story telling was good. Overall a recommended movie to spend quality time.

About casting, the child actor as grandson was amazing. Mimi Chakrabarty acted really well, her simple appearance fully matched the storyline. Paresh Rawal showed his acting masterclass. Manoj Joshi was upto the mark. But Amrita Subhas was average.

Music composition was good. There songs could have been better.

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.

Shastry Virudhh Shastry on Netflix is a heartwarming film that reminded me of the worlds so beautifully created by Majid Majidi in his films. Be it Children of Heaven or The Color of Paradise. Yaman has a world of his own, where he is happy singing, playing, studying, being naughty. He is tucked away in his grandparents' house in Panchgani and meets his parents working in Mumbai only during weekends. He seems to have made peace with it and above all, is happy. Suddenly, this happiness comes to a tear-jerking halt what with his parents and grandparents staking claim on him in a court battle. Yaman can either be with his parents or his grandparents. Seen through his eyes and where child actor Kabir has a major role to play, Shastry Virudhh Shastry is a masterpiece from Bengali makers Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy. I would like to recommend the film to all and sundry.

Shastry Virudhh Shastry, which is trending on Netflix, is a winner all the way! Amidst the gamut of mediocre and often meaningless films, it stands out with its simplicity, easy narrative style, pace and above all, a story that is so unique yet so today's! When a set of grandparents and parents find it difficult to make peace with each other, despite their sense of responsibility and respect for the relationships, they move court to get the custody of a child who is at the centre of all their attention. What follows is a social commentary on modern living that is embedded in reality. With more and more grandparents getting conscious of their roles and standing up for what they feel are their rights, court battles are not few and far between. Even though I strongly feel it should not go till that level, I could relate to the issues raised in the film. More of such films should be made in near future.

Can parents, who are working hard to eke out a living, stay away from their children? Can grandparents, who are doing every bit to raise their grandchildren, suddenly part ways with them? What if it is either-or? Shastry Virudhh Shastry, which I found in the top 10 films on Netflix, is an ode to pain and pathos that are associated with modern-day living. It makes you happy, sad, weep, come out stronger and in the end, reflect on life in general. With some power-packed performances from Paresh Rawal, Neena Kulkarni, child actor Kabir and others, it tugs at the heart-strings despite not being heavy on any message. Director duo Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee, who have a cult following among Bengali audiences, have forayed into Hindi cinema with this beautiful film and a lot more is expected from them in the coming days. Shastry Virudhh Shastry is an absolute winner.

What started as a great, relatable family drama, turned out to be a farce towards the end of the film by the filmmakers. The film showed the grandfather to be a manipulative man, who harmed and killed his first son, turned the second son into a sissy who could not stand upto his father and then kidnapped his grandchild to alleviate his own guilt at age 70 and fulfil his empty life and sadness. The filmmakers did a disservice to the child yaman by having the kidnapped child choose between his own parents and the grandparents, and end the film by having the child be in the company of the manipulative grandfather. You di not send a child to a criminal. Period. Its totally unfair fir a child to be used as a replacement.

Shastry Virudh Shastry

Grandparents or whatever relatives don't have any right to claim guardianship of their grandchildren, their parents have the right. This movie is about a family where a couple lives in Mumbai, they have one kid of 7 years old but he lives with his grandparents in Panchgani. The kid's parents want to take their kid to the USA with them.

Grandparent Shastry (Paresh Rawal) files a court case against his son Malhar. After all, the parents have the proper and full right of keeping their children with them. Finally, Shastry withdraws the case himself and lets the kid go with their parents. In the end when they go to the airport, the kid Yaman flees and comes back to his grandparents, parents let him live with their grandparents. That's all.

But the custody and guardianship is after all the right of the kid's parents, no matter what.
