Friday Night Plan

Agreed with some of other comments that this showcased Indian upper class school kids life, but that's also a part of India isn't it?

This is far better than a lot of high budget movies that are all bling and fail to connect at any level with their audience.

Even though not much happened in terms of story, but the depiction of emotions and a touch of complexity added to each character was a treat to watch. Indian cinema needs many more such movies.

Could have used some great angles to add some more depth to the story but not sure why they were not fully explored even though there were hints of something more riveting all over.

Directed by Vatsal Neelakantan. Really good feel nice movie of brotherhood. All the cast are amazing. Babil Khan ( Irfan Khan's son) and Amrith Jayan will steal your hearts as the most amazing cunning loving brothers. It's about how Juhi Chawla goes out of town for work, and the two brothers go for a Friday night plan party. Babil khan being the new hero as he won the football match for the school, suddenly the party gets all interesting for the brothers. How they prank the other school kids, and all the brotherly moments, and how the real connection is what results in love, is nicely shown. Everyone acted really well.

A great family entertainer. Characters are very relatable and well presented. The movie is a poignant exploration of the complex bond between two siblings, each grappling with their unique psychological challenges. The film artfully delves into the depths of their individual struggles, showcasing the power of understanding and connection.

At its heart, "Friday night plan" revolves around the contrasting personalities of its main characters, Sid and Adi. Sid, portrayed brilliantly by Babil, is a young man plagued by crippling indecision, his life marked by hesitation and fear of making choices. In stark contrast, Adi, played by Amrith, exudes confidence and a devil-may-care attitude, often overshadowing his brother. The cast do justice to the roles.

Friday Night Plan is a sweet teen comedy where two brothers plan to attend a Friday Night party organized by their classmates while breaking the one condition their mother put in before leaving for work i.e. Nobody gets to touch the car. What happens on this wild Night and how the two brothers bond with each other forms rest of the story.

Usually I am used to watching films based on such stories from the west than in Hindi and on that front, it does deliver, without going too crazy. The brothers characters has been well written with elder brother Sid (Babil Khan) bogged down by the thought of his responsibilities and younger brother Adi (Amrith Jayan) who is much more jovial, immature yet responsible like his brother. They are the ones who hold this film together till the end.

The humor is organic and the scenes don't go overboard to generate humor. Though it is all predictable with the jokes revolving around prom, a wild party involving booze and a kid desperate to look cool among the seniors, the screenplay strikes perfect balance with the humor and the emotional scenes. It's a feel good film in the end and the way the issue is resolved is in sync with the film's tone.

High school drama in bollywood has always been a bit exaggerated but not in this film. This new age drama is filled with a bit of realism and innocense. There's a touch of sibling love, family, friendship, and love with a hint of drama and comedy. Although they haven't delved much, it's just enough to keep it short and sweet. The charm of the characters and the hilarity of the situations they find themselves in make up for it. The film also has moments of heart and sincerity, reminding us that even in the midst of chaos, there can be genuine connections and personal growth. Although it's a one time watch, it leaves you with a smile as the credits roll.
