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.

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.

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 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.
*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.
