Overview:
Overall, I enjoyed this picture. It is extremely well acted and gripping. Even though it is a family drama, at no point does it feel slow or boring. I do wish they could have gone a bit deeper into what caused the rift between father and son, that would have added a bit more gravitas to the film.
Plot: The plot centers around the Mehta family who has just lost the mother of the family. Before migrating with his daughter to America, Shiv Mehta (Boman Irani) has to stay for a few days with his estranged son, Amay (Avinash Tiwary) - an architect who is not comfortable sharing his ideas at work.
The story focuses on the relationship between father and son and how that spills over into other areas of their lives.
Acting: The acting is excellent, with great performances by the two leads, Irani and Tiwary. They do manage to showcase the right emotions as the two men try to understand each other. They are ably supported by Puja Sarup as Anu Mehta and Shreya Chaudhry as Zara. Chaudhry in particular was excellent and is really excelling as an actress.
Conclusion: A good watch if you enjoy family dramas. Would recommend this movie.

The Mehta Boys" is a cinematic masterpiece that deserves global recognition and awards! This film is an absolute must-watch, and I cannot recommend it enough. It resonated so deeply that I found myself laughing and crying towards the end-a testament to its powerful storytelling.
Boman Irani, you are a genius! The way this film balances emotion, humor, and raw human connections is nothing short of brilliant. Every performance was incredibly moving-from Avinash, Shreya, and Puja to the entire supporting cast. It's so refreshing to see a film that focuses on real, raw talent instead of star kids, bringing us performances that feel authentic, effortless, and deeply impactful.
The writing, the direction, the cinematography-everything about The Mehta Boys makes you feel like you're watching something truly special. It's cinema with heart, the kind of storytelling we desperately need more of.
This isn't just a movie; it's an experience. It makes you reflect on family, relationships, and the emotions we often suppress. It deserves to be taken worldwide because stories like this deserve to be seen and celebrated everywhere.

Nice script but the screen play was great
Top notch direction & acting
Casting looks just perfect
A must watch movie.
Locations looked great and realistic The car driving scene was realistic .
Interesting thing was , every closed looks taken looked very much relative and realistic.
No doubt the director did a great job. Hotel scene was made great. Usually overacting happens in this kind of storyline but this case was very fine. Every character ensured that only the required acting is done.
The office room scene was also fine , the boss character did a great job. The casting was great for the boss. Only suggestion was to make the daughter character a bit more detail.
Overall a great picture.

This story revolves around the relationship between a father and his son, who has long parted ways in terms of home and ideology. However, both of them yearn to settle their differences and shine in each other's eyes.
The roles played by Boman Irani and Avinash Tiwary are just superb. They fit the characters very well. Their demeanor helps to portray the differences between this father-son duo. But will they reconcile and be a happy family together?
That's the crux of the movie. Though the story is quite heartwarming, the directorial choices are quite debatable. It starts with a very slow approach, which could have been totally avoidable. Yet, I would recommend this movie to any person who has/had a beef with their parents and hope this will shed some light on their relationship.

This decade we watched Animal, a movie that talks about Father-Son relation in a very distutbing and violence way possible. And now we see this masterpiece by Boman Irani, The Mehta Boys, which I believe is genuinely a better way to portray this relationship of Father and Son.
Such a sweet and inspirational story, I wish this movie gets the appropriation that it deserves. Aniwash Tiwary nailed the character and I must say Boman Irani proved that he can sit on the Director's chair.
There is nothing to complaint about. The performance of each character, though there only a few faces we could spot, but all they actors did a very good job.
The movie successfully shared its vision to the audience. It compiled many un-spoken territories in the individual and social atmosphere. Where I could see the forgotten soul of the nation and emotional and tricky bond of a father-son.
I genuinely wanted this movie to shine like a source to get inspired emotionally. It really worked well.
Thanks Boman and team to make it happen.
