Featured reviews
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.

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..!!

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 🙂!!

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.!!

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.
