The Mehta Boys

Underwhelming. Why?

The character of Shiv Mehta, played by Boman Irani, is unrelatable. Unreasonably peculiar. Petulant. Mr. Shiv Mehta was not showing idiosyncrasies of a person going through grief but merely demonstrating a person who is socially awkward and a pain in the rear for the others.

The character of Shiv Mehta's son is unreasonable tolerant of the father. We are told that he is lacking self-belief. Be that as it may it was too 'meh' to see him mowed over by others.

Ms. Zara, the love of Mehta Jr, is a periphery to the story. Does come across as unempathetic.

Anyway, I appreciate the attempt to plumb the depth of love & care a father and son could share amidst rocky waves. But this movie did not do that.

Nice script but the screen play was great Top notch direction & acting Casting looks just perfect A must watch movie.

Locations looked great and realistic The car driving scene was realistic .

Interesting thing was , every closed looks taken looked very much relative and realistic.

No doubt the director did a great job. Hotel scene was made great. Usually overacting happens in this kind of storyline but this case was very fine. Every character ensured that only the required acting is done.

The office room scene was also fine , the boss character did a great job. The casting was great for the boss. Only suggestion was to make the daughter character a bit more detail.

Overall a great picture.

This story revolves around the relationship between a father and his son, who has long parted ways in terms of home and ideology. However, both of them yearn to settle their differences and shine in each other's eyes.

The roles played by Boman Irani and Avinash Tiwary are just superb. They fit the characters very well. Their demeanor helps to portray the differences between this father-son duo. But will they reconcile and be a happy family together?

That's the crux of the movie. Though the story is quite heartwarming, the directorial choices are quite debatable. It starts with a very slow approach, which could have been totally avoidable. Yet, I would recommend this movie to any person who has/had a beef with their parents and hope this will shed some light on their relationship.

The storyline of the movie is exquisitely beautiful, poignantly capturing the essence of a father-son relationship. Boman Irani's directorial debut is a true masterpiece, showcasing his versatility as not only a talented actor but also a skilled director and writer. This emotionally charged film is a rollercoaster of emotions, effortlessly shifting between moments of laughter and tears. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and firmly believe that more films like this need to be made. Congratulations to the entire cast and crew! 'The Mehta Boys' is an absolute must-watch, featuring heartwarming performances from the entire cast 😍😍😍

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.

7/10.
