Three friends leave their comfy lives behind to enter on a journey to Mount Everest.

SoorajRBarjatya delivers a straight-from-the-heart film that *celebrates friendship and hope...*

A simple story treated with simplicity, with drama and with emotions. Slow paced 1st half but *its not boring..!!*

it's a beautiful film that deserves to be watched in the theatres *with family - frnds..!!*

The visuals are breath-taking, and it's probably one of the most visually appealing Sooraj Barjatya films.

Acting is good from all the lead actors..!! The magic, simplicity, and innocence of Sooraj Barjatya works in 2022 as well..!!

*UUNCHAI (2022) -*

Few aged friends take a trek to the Everest Base Camp (EBC-Nepal), to accomplish their friend's last wish. A naive climbing then becomes personal, emotional, and mystical journey as they battle their physical limitations (by being old) and recognize the true meaning of self-determination. Film has a very talented actors army like Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Danny, Boman Irani, Parineeti Chopra, Neena Gupta, Sarika and Nafisha Ali. Need not to say that all of them are great and have lifted this Rajshri Production's venture greatly as well.

Barjatyas are known for making large scale family entertainers! And Uunchai is also a family drama which revolves around friendship of senior citizens. Story is all about friends amongst whom one dies and rest all to fulfill his last wish decides to climb EBC. All of them have zeal, potential, firm motive and wish of accomplishment this task, but alongside limitations and difficulties. How they old aged completes this against all odds is the crux of this film.

Film has light comedy, drama, family emotions, friendship stories, sentiments, catchy dialogues, some real mountaineering, and scenic beauty of Everest. Yes! Amit Trivedi's music is outstanding and literally flows with the film. Songs are hummable and likable. Film is long and at times slow so screenplay could have been better here. Through sharp editing film also could have been cut shorted a bit coz it is nearly of 3 hours. But overall, it's a good watch and parents/grandparents would like it for sure. Take your family along and I would like to rate it as 3.5 / 5 (🌟🌟🌟💫).

*What I Liked Most? -* Anupam Kher and his comic-timing throughout.

*By - Niraj Solanki..!*

This movie is a definite watch. It has its soul in the right place. The director has made it with lot of purity and sincerity. The caste as everybody know is awesome . All amazing actors have done amazing work.

Music by the master amit Trivedi is again bang on. The cinematography has to be appreciated and the dedication of the actors to work in extreme conditions at this age is very inspiring.

Surprisingly the movie had a lot of good humour(not at all forced) and you do laugh a lot . In that way it is really well written. I personally felt this movie had the best humor ( situational, dialogue) in recent times in Hindi films.

All in all a movie which makes you laugh, cry and gives you a much needed perspective on life.

Agai a masterpiece by Sooraj Barjatya. He proves films can be made with love emotions and life. Full of life movie. Every frame every moment celebrates life and and it's crux. Star cast is amazing. They proved that age is just a number. Cinematography is wonderful. Though the introduction of characters were quite slow but when story runs it gains momentum. Songs are superb. Spacially ketiko. Sarika's come back is wonderful. Anupam kher again proved he is the best. Amitabh Bachchan ji, baoman Irani ji Neena Gupta ji, Danny denzongapa al r best.

I loved it, worth watching the movie. All must go n watch.

Though being a nepalese and day since its shooting being an anticipated one, though my expectations didn't matched the reality I still loved it as a family drama "ofcourse" dur to its production company.

A beautiful trip to Himalayas to fulfill last dreams of noe from the 'foursome' friends who are together irrespective of what they are involved in.

A simple story with simplicity, magnificient acting and actors.

It deserves to be watched at least once by a nepalese specially and how the really old ones went to the shooting locatiosn to really 'shoot'. Yes, use of VFX is minimum don't expect bramhastra ehre.

A nice family entertainera at last.!!

Film Review Uunchai #sanjuzzreviews #Uunchai #AmitabhBachchan #bomanirani #AnupamKher The plot of this Barjatiya film is fairly simple. Three friends Amit Srivastava ( Amitabh Bacchan), Om ( Anupam Kher) & Javed ( Boman Irani) undertake the arduous trek to Everest Base Camp to honour the final wish of their recently deceased friend Bhupen(Danny).

Salon main ek aisi film aati hai jo dil ko choo jaati hai; Uunchai is one such film. Awesome ensemble cast. Superb dialogues, especially the banter between the 3 friends. Amitabh,Baman & Kher as the protagonists have given fabulous performances. Neena Gupta is a suprise package who really impresses in her small impactful role. Parineeti is wasted in a small role, Sarika too does well.

Cinematography is mashallah, the beautiful, white, snow clad Himalayas are very well captured.

Backstories of each and every character is very well etched out & does not digress from the main narrative.

Music is very good.. "KT Ko" is fantastic and so is "Haan kar De" both sung by Amit Trivedi.

Uunchai will definitely bring tears in ur eyes or at least a lump in ur throat during the beautifully enacted emotional scenes .

Unmissable!!! Watch either on OTT or in theatres where it is now screening!!

4/5 from me for this film .. Adios 🙂!!

After a lot of disappointing films given by Bollywood recently, Uunchai is definitely a movie which a good to watch.

Cinematography and overall pace of the movie is good.

Acting of all 4 top Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani and Danny Denzongpa is true to their names.

I love Amit Trivedi's music but in this movie I find it very loud and not matching with the theme and background of the movie. It is more noisy than touching heart.

About the script and dialogues - there is a real lack of substance which can make it great.

The film is trying to cover so many dimensions in given time and that's why has not gone deep in to main theme of friendship.

On the other side if you don't go with high expectations then this is a good clean movie to watch along with family which is Rajshri Productions hallmark.

The story of the film is as clear as in the plot. What drives the film is the journey of the three friends. It's a story of friendship and what the term 'Friendship' truly means. The film will make you laugh and will make you cry. It will make your young ones think about their elders and will make the elders think about their young ones. Have great expectations with Uunchai. It's not a film we see everyday, it's a rare modern classic and will leave you thinking about life for some good few hours after watching it.

Uunchai is a fine watch and should be among the top cinema choices of your watchlist.

Unlike his earlier family dramas mounted on a large scale with a backdrop of a family wedding or a love story, Barjatya's Uunchai is refreshingly different and breathtakingly beautiful. It opens with a group of three friends -- Amit (Bachchan), Om (Kher) and Javed (Irani) along with Mala (Sarika) who are on a trek to reach the EBC (Everest base Camp) led by tour guide Shraddha Gupta (Parineeti Chopra). Soon after, we are shown a flashback from two months ago about how they landed here and what unfolds thereafter. Back in Delhi, we are told, this trio celebrated their close friend Bhupen's (Danny Denzongpa) birthday, and the next morning his demise leaves them shattered. To.

First, the idea of three elderly friends taking the desire of another recently deceased friend seriously enough to attempt a hike to the Everest Base Camp for dispersing his ashes, coming from a deeply embedded Bollywood production house, is novel and refreshing.

But that's where the novelty and freshness ends.

The film meanders at a pedestrian pace, pandering to the usual Rajshri maudlin sentiments, leaving one frustrated and thoroughly dissatisfied.

The film suffers from the inclusion of the 3 female characters of Neena Gupta, Sarika, and Nafisa Ali. They are not at all required to move the plot, but work only to drag the script at an excruciating slow pace. The film is almost 3 hours long. If the script had been kept true to the original idea, the film would have been a tight 100 t0 120 minutes long, and a delight to watch.

Even the magnificent Himalayas fail to lift the movie beyond mediocre.

A magic created by a legendry Director Sooraj Barjatya...a movie without any obscene scenes and violent action and sticking to the pure basics of narrating the story with a low budget of 35 crores with mega starcast.

May be today's generation will not like but they must send their parents to watch this movie because this movie portraying love, togetherness, the strong friendship bond, family values, culture and relationships. Aap samay ke saath chaliye but not on cost of humanities and values.

Relationships are very important, if you love someone or missing someone then Dont do delay in communicating your feelings..love never dies its remains in your heart.. never miss a moment with your loved ones. ...kal rahen na rahen.. background song ..ye jeewan hai..iss jeewan ka yahi hai rang roop..whole film treatment is based on the inner meaning of this song.

It narrates to find of solution balancing the elder younger generation & to listen to each other.

This Film is not about Everest but it teaches us about standing tall & firmly in all circumstances with feet grounded like Everest.

In one frame your eyes are full of tears in next frame you are laughing ..what a wonderful treatment, emotions..life lesson what not.. It's teaches us to convert unpleasant discussions into lighter moments, Life is unpredictable, enjoy each & every moment, Spread happiness all around giving your hundred percent.

Amazing Cinematography by Manoj Khatoi..Camera moves according to the emotions and demand of scene ..simply amazing photography of Himalayan range.. songs are not hit but very soothing and sweet with situations and Nepalese flavour, well composed by Amit Trivedi.. Towering performance by sadi ke mahanayak Amitabh Bacchan, mesmeric support by Boman Irani, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta and Sarika and Pariniti Chopra. Danny was felt till the end.

Several times I have been in Nepal..I am fond of Nepal. After so many years seeing Nepal beauty mesmerized me.

This movie will compels you to watch again.. Lastly I will say Sooraj Barjatya is actual hero.

In one frame all the legends are performing their best..this miracle only *Sooraj Sir* can do.

Sameer lodaya

The movie is all together a different league of entertainment

The concept is about friendship and tribute to the lost one .. Each and every scene of the movie is very mature and has a message for you to read and understand the meaning ,importance and behaviour of relationships.

The craft of the movie in its aesthetics, locations are extraordinary..Rajshri the house of emotions has once again showered deep and touching feelings here

About performances here the university of acting was present like amitji bomanji and anupamji..a lot can be learned from these legends

The movie is more to understand and read the message which the makers are trying to deliver..the movie is meant of a specific gentry of viewers

The movie is slow and lengthy and would be difficult for youth and teenagers to grasp it.

Very average and underwhelming, nice concept but disappointing overall. Screenplay and dialogues very weak, not as touching as other Raj Shri movies. Great cast and good music though. Suraj barjatiya used to be master of emotions and feel good movies but has long lost the same touch since vivah. The entire cast tried hard to save this movie but unfortunately without much success. This is at most suitable for one time watch on ott if you have too much time on hands, would skip it if better choices. Great cinematography and visuals, perhaps next time invest in good script writer and dialogue writer.

After all it's just a film... so what.... Many would describe this latest presentation of #Rajishriproductions but this one is way beyond that.... A tale of friendship,of togetherness,of love,of bonding & more importantly of culture & tradition & who better than Mr #soorajbartajya to showcase it on the big screen... Moving with times is not bad but not at the cost of humanity & values Mr #Amitabhbachan undoubtedly is a legend & is par excellence but cheers to the director & writer for not letting the audience feel his dominance over the other characters being his friends played by another set of brilliant actors Mr #anupamkher & #bomanirani & then we have another veteran Mr #dannydenzonpa & if we have seen him on screen after a long time we know for the matter of fact there must be some substance to his role ...a guest appearance it is but he leaves an impact as always... Not to steal the contribution of the female actresses #sarika #neenagupta both good #parineetichopra too is impressive.

Amitabh Bachchan gets to once again deal with personal loss and learn to grieve in this Rajshri venture about 3 friends trying to honour their 4th friend who recently passed away with an unfinished dream to climb everest. It is quite evident that it has trekking as backdrop but is directed by someone who has never trekked himself. So, much of the focus is on the drama and not until 97mins into the movie, the actual trek begins.

What does work is the bonding between the three actors - Big B, Anupam Kher and Boman Irani. They largely make this work, firmly aided by Neena Gupta and Sarika. Much of the focus is on these people's individual lives issues. Much to my surprise, Rajshri went realistic in handling relationships and even going ahead to admit elders can be wrong too. But then it was getting too realistic so towards the third act they increased the melodrama through Amitabh's character.

It is infact an endearing attempt, the humor is neat and the emotions pure. Not that you would expect anything different from a Rajshri film. Just watch it for what it is and don't have any wrong expectations. This is purely a human relationship drama and very less of an adventure film. I did wish for better memorable songs though.

Wow, such a great experience, i was bit skeptical about this movie because of the run time almost 3 hours, but it didn't matter.. Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Sarika, Neena Gupta, all blossomed in entire movie, such a great performance from everyone.

And hats off to the director Suraj Barjatya.. scenes are so gripping.. captured beautifully, and never loosing the interest..

its not just journey to everest, but deep friendship, trust, and laughs.. simple dialogues but so touching.. this is how movies should be made, to entertain and teach a bit.

Really movie has delivered extra, expectations were high because of bigger cast and it exceeded..

Don't wait for the OTT, go watch in the theaters with your friends and family, you will remember the experience for long time...

Story: Minimalist & Alluring Three aged friends Amit, Om and Javed take a trek to the Everest Base Camp, to fulfil their fourth friend Bhupen's last wish.

The story is simple but diverse characters & emotional screenplay enhanced rhe story.

Screenplay: Heartfelt The screenplay was fantastic. The writer was successful in bringing the hardcore emotions.

Performances: Good Amitabh Bachchan: He had done a superb performance.

Ideology: The writer wanted to shown the society through eyes of old aged people who still are young by heart. The writer successfully explored every complexities of human relationship. It's a story of four old aged friends but every age groups will feel connected with the writing of this film. The only drawback of screenplay was the early death of Bhupen which didn't made us feel emotional during his death.

Final verdict: The film's writing was truly exceptional, with outstanding character development, a tightly woven screenplay, and dialogue that resonated deeply.

Awesome movie..all the elder artist dy r awesome in role play...it's thousands time better dn normal movie coming in Bollywood ..so hpy to see dis movie with evthng perfect.. awesome experience.i will suggest everybody from young,old,teen all generation people dy should go nd dy should watch the movie once. I m sure everybody will lyk.movie is too gud ...direction is awesome storyline is too gud nd acting of all artist it touched my heart.its really nice i luved it...dis movie is one and only movie which is proper in 3verything.srsly so happy to watch the movie and watching all the motivated sir.

This movie could of been more epic and a major throw back if they casted Amitabh Bachchan's co-stars from the 1970s-80s.

I mean could of had Jeetendra, Shatrughan Sinha and He-Man himself Dhramendra. Would of been the perfect ending and a big reunion for the superstars of yesteryears. We got Danny and Anupam who were great. However this being a good it lacked something and yawned a bit. The other cast members were very good, the music was decent.

Got to give credit to Amitabh Bachchan, at 80 plus and still shaking a leg. However make your own minds up on this one. It is well worth a watch. Enjoy.

The story is really nice. A ode to friendship. Good casting too. But each character did not get enough opportunity to play out. At some points I could feel the actors were not connecting with the situation.

Amitjis characters sick look - déjà vu.

Probably I went with too much expectation. Having watched many movies that have trekking / climbing - the Hollywood mountain location in movies looked more real.

In some bits the actors in the mountains didn't feel real.

Didnt hold me throughout.

Surely saw the Mercedes and puma infilm effort too. Sorry if I missed any other brand but I felt it could have been less conspicuous.

Simple movie with lot's of lesson. Some lesson I got form this movie are: 1) Always focus in your goal.

2) Parents should respect their children opinion to make their carrier in any field 3) What we see only is not the reality in this world.

4) Everest as the name suggest should be the destination to visit.

5) It's very good family film to watch with family members.

6) Friendship and hope is celebrated well enough in this movie.

7) Children should love their parents.

Apart form this Me as being Nepalese highly recommend all the people to watch this movie with family and friends. You can watch full Everest trek.

Finally watched Uunchai, Sooraj Barjatya's cosy yet clunky tale of three old mates hiking to Everest Base Camp to honour their late buddy. Barjatya, the Hum Aapke Hain Koun legend, trades wedding bling for Himalayan vistas, and I was hyped for his emotional punch.

The cast is fire: Amitabh Bachchan's soulful Amit steals it, Anupam Kher's grumpy Om brings laughs, and Boman Irani's cheeky Javed keeps it lively. Neena Gupta shines, but Parineeti Chopra's guide feels like an afterthought.

Manoj Kumar Khatoi's Himalayan shots are pure eye-candy, and the first half zips with witty banter and a Delhi-to-Kathmandu road trip.

But, bloody hell, the pacing tanks. At nearly three hours, the second half drags with soggy family drama and a forced romance that dulls the trek's vibe. The finale hits the heart, but Amit Trivedi's loud score feels off.

Uunchai nails friendship and grit but needed a sharp edit to avoid feeling like a slog.

Solid, not stellar. 7/10.
