Phew! If at all there was a movie for whose sequel I had been waiting for long, it was this! I saw the first part in theatre in January 2018 and since then, there was this urge of seeing what the second part would come up with.
Badi der lagadi meherbaan aate aate! What I felt last evening was incredible. I love the different shades of movie making. I love it when a movie breathes life and its fuel is honesty and giving lessons.
Movies ain't just about entertainment after all. If the first part was about bankruptcy and its pros and cons, the second part is about the personality development as mentioned by Dev towards the end of first part.
We've learnt a lot about the usage of active and passive voice in school. Have we ever implemented it in real life? Do we ever realise how different the approach becomes when saying things in either of the two forms? All this and much more has been beautifully portrayed in the movie.
In this materialistic world; morals, ethics, values and principles have gone for a toss. There's sheer justification of crossing the limits on all fronts and it is deemed to be cool and the new normal. To stay put on the non-monetary assets amidst the plethora of monetary gains fetched by this materialistic world on a continuous basis is a tough ask but worth it.
How do you build mental strength? How to bring up the courage to accept your own weaknesses? How to be disciplined enough to face your fear and keep on trying until you eventually succeed? We all know the process but very rarely do we follow it.
You know what, given our life's experiences, we know what it takes to be consistent and persistent. And yet, invariably, we seek an easier route always.
There are so many life lessons in the movie. The one about Gandhi Ji was brilliant too. Like Dev, even I would have been frustrated and angry. Eventually, I would have also settled the dust and surrendered. But that's where the difference lies. In the urge of seeking an easier path, not many delve deep into the whereabouts of greatness today.
This treasure hunt comprises of the right way of living, going on the path of our morals, staying put against all odds and the willingness to surpass every storm on the way. This is what makes the movie special for me. And there's so much more to come. We're only getting started it seems.
Everyone has some quality in them that differentiates them from others. We ought to seek the path of its finding. Everyone makes mistakes. One can't be right all the time. Self- learning is a key aspect of life. These kind of life lessons are so beautifully portrayed.
The dialogue wherein the senior most statesman of the Sanghvi family Mr. Suryakant says that he's the most weak of them all and that he's lost respect in the eyes of his own son speaks volumes of how our inner self shows us the reality.
When our strength is governed by external factors and outside gains, its core essence also diminishes once the outer beauty fades or goes away. The ability to build the mental strength from within is what it's all about. This has been beautifully portrayed through the character of boss man Vasant Sanghvi. His character goes through it all and eventually realises it all too.
Also, some rigid and taking life for granted characters add to our misery, suffering and how they constantly demean others who're trying their best has been so truly shown in this movie.
Distractions are plenty. Addictions are aplenty. Cleverly taking pit stops and finding the way towards the chequered flag is an art one has to matter with time to survive here.
This movie is about fighting your fears and coming up with apt solutions when you're facing down the barrel. It is about turning the negative into the affirmative.
Every day is different. Every day is a new game of cricket of sorts. Some days, you have it easy. Some days, you have it tough. There's bounce. There's swing. There's pace. There's turn. Not every day will be a flat pitch. Even on a flat pitch, you'll falter some day. Can you accept it? Are you ready to change the approach and hang in there against all odds? The movie is about all this and much more. It is about turning the negative into affirmative.
The best part about the movie for me was the following realisation:- The path from "I Can't Do It" to "I Don't Want To Do It." Yes, ultimately, we're the ones who decide our limits.
Written and directed by Dipesh Shah, this is another big tick for him. What a movie! What direction! What concept! What eagerness to showcase life lessons in such a beautiful manner on screen! To come up with something like this and execute it in this manner is sheer class.
Coming to the performances, once again, the cast has done a splendid job overall. I surely missed Anupama Masand playing Guni bhabhi in this one though. The expressions of Krishna Bharadwaj as Dev are top notch. He's delivered a brilliant performance. Like in part one, Hemen Chauhan makes an impact through his voice and personality as Viren in the movie. Dharmendra Gohil as Vasant was my favourite actor in part one. He's done a tremendous job even this time around, be it the emotional, normal or the serious parts. Harsh Khurana as Niranjan stamps his authority too. Rajeev Mehta is a delight to watch as always. Rudrakshi Gupta is as good as in part one. Ketkie Parekh has impressed big time in this one and so has Sheetal Pandya. In fact, she has quite a bit of screen space this time. New entry Kaushambi Bhatt was excellent. Her character and performance was so good. And and, Karan Desai as Bhola Bhagat was the hidden gem of this movie for me. Rest of the cast was okay at best.
All in all, this isn't a movie for the mass but for ones who want to experience life and its beautiful hidden aspects on the big screen. Bring on Part 3 soon. Don't let the wait be this long now. I will rate it 4/5.
