Concept is new but the execution & storytelling is very poor..script is not that good but comedy was very poor..there is very few funny elements in this film..acting wise everyone has done really good job but to be very honest,the kissing part between the lead old actor and that young girl who is a vlogger in this film is not good.my age is only 26 but i can't even appreciate this.. because a 65 years old married man can't kiss a 25years old young girl..if they feel for each other then the director should show this as a father-daughter relationship or just a friendship..because that's not our culture.

Great Sunday afternoon movie! Welldone to everyone involved, in particular the artist playing the son of main character. He reminded me of my elder brother!! Message is loud and clear, i.e.- Morality, ethics, soul, conscious of right and wrong. These things were never seen in Indian movies, at least for the last 25 years.. These movies are more like a wakeup call as to "Hey, Bollywood is changed", It's quite evident that more emphasis on location/background was analyzed, especially in a quaint way to approach it holistically that catches the viewer's attention, in particular Ujjain's temple and ghats that brought million memories flooding as if Ganges was roaring!! More movies like this please!!

The storyline of this movie reminded me of the movie " Good luck to you Leo Grande " which I watched last year in which a 60 plus lady hires a young gigolo to experience orgasm after many long years. Here we have a lonely, naive, confused 70 year old widower ( Gajraj Rao) from an orthodox town Ujjain who is troubled by his depleted libido. He has a problem of erectile dysfunction and is desperately seeking solutions. A clever young guy ( Divyendu Sharma ) takes advantage of the situation feigning sympathy, gets him treated by a local quack and packs him off to Thailand for fulfillment of his carnal desires through the popular "boom boom" process there.

Director Mangesh Hadawale gives a simplistic treatment to the story and the narrative stumbles along in a slow pace. It does get boring at places but recovers soon. A better storyline was required to make it gripping. The comedy scenes don't actually work and Rajpal Yadav in a comic role could not do much to salvage the situation. It is basically a serious movie and Gajraj Rao does well as usual. He faithfully projects the loneliness and confusion of the character of the widower. A number of seniors of that age group may find his bumbling, shuffling and lurching behavior relatable. In a not so well written role Divyendu Sharma is passable as the crafty young man who takes advantage of the simplicity of Gajraj Rao. A Russian actress Alina Zarobina has given a nice performance. There are some attractive visuals of the sights in Thailand and some more similar scenes would have made the movie still better.

An eye opening story for the children, who thinks that their parents can not do or even capable of doing any bad or sinister thing in life and put them on a very high pedal where they forget, their parents are human before becoming your parents and they also have humanly desires and wishes and their bucket of regret. This is the movie that shows us how to express our feeling and open ourselves to the life and understand what it is offering. We in our daily life and routine, forget to enjoy it but we have to cease every moment with joy and when our loved ones die we forget to cherish it. This movie is a very good reminder.

Second half of the movie was much better. I feel first half could have been made better. Rather than using fear of erectile dysfunction, they could have used missing romance in life, fear of society, fear of dying as a reason to build the character.

The movie tries to introduce comedy with the help of Rajpal Yadav and Divyendu Sharma but fails. The comic scenes are out of place and seems forced for a movie like this. The only humor which works is when Atma is caught couple of times expressing his sexual desires. The dialogues could have been slightly better especially in the first half of the movie.

The acting as good. Everyone did a decent job. The subject was good and overall a movie you can watch for the second half.
