First prize goes the Casting Director - Jogi Mallang. Second prize the Editor - Bodhaditya Banerjee. Third prize for Director - Umesh Shukla.

And then behold! Here come our two legends - Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor. What a pleasure it is to see them sharing screen space in such impactful drama served with thick sauce of comedy.

Of course, Mr Bachchan nails it every time. After seeing him you always say, this role is just for him. But in my opinion in many cases, Mr Kapoor has outshined him.

Bachchan's witty dialog delivery, Kapoor's silent expressions. Bachchan's explicit mental strength, Kapoor's heart-touching reticent tenacity. Amazing 92 minutes of celluloid gem.

The film is made with two and a half characters only, apart from the Two, Jimit Trivedi as Dhiru is the half. He does a decent job, it is not easy to share the screen with those monuments. The father (Bachchan) is about to die, and before that he wants to make sure his son (Kapoor) lives his life to the fullest - leaving aside the usual old-age worries and missing his only son. The method he adapts might be melodramatic, but it works.

You feel happy from inside when the son is "alive" again. You don't feel sad when the last whistle is heard.

Come, have fun!
