i read a response saying this film was an absoulute miscast & it was unrealistic hat the children were so loving in 1st fifteen minutes & so otherwise in the rest of the film.
i must beg to differ. a parent sees their children as loving & i think it was genius & definitely intentional that it initially appeared this way. Reality then hits them as the children are just making use of their father as a resource.
Many in the crowd watching this will relate to this, either the father or even the children. My case was definitely the latter. It hits a guilt chord of whether or not we have treated our parents with the respect they deserved.
Amitabh & Hema definitely deliver with conviction the love between them & their love for the children. Their pain of being treated like trash again convincing on both parts. Songs were placed with some though & dont seem to just fill gaps as is the case many times in Bollywood.
The children don't need much scope for acting however do play the brats quite nicely, if that could be possible.
Though the events in the 2nd half do make you wonder how so many coincidences occur in a span of a week in their lives. We feel that they deserved this change for the better & more than this being a loophole in the script i see it as an uplifting moral story.
Good comes to those who are good, & like k3g of a couple of years back told us: "It's all about loving your parents!"
