Director's Desk

I wasn’t expecting this much from this surprise package, it is like I am coming out from the long dusty atmosphere after a decade, my passing days were with those stupid movies where I continuously hammered myself to bleed. This film has kind of mercury effect, which pulls me out from the boring enigma. But I want to clear one thing, don’t expect anything overly vaporized, it has family mingle up thing including little spices churn and sincerely cooked.

A story of a suitable valedictory of a nasty old grandfather “Dadu” who is living in his own world to escape the family chaos, one day he is making fun of being dead and got heart attack, afterward his whole family is getting together, even his grand children who are pursuing their dreams on foreign soil, but they are not all innocent, they come with their own clouts and here the film begins with the multi labeled family drama but unlike the extravagant emotional coir. After Dadu’s  heart attack both his grandchildren joins him in small hilly place, one (Sidhrath Malhotra) is struggling with inferiority complex and second one (Fawad Khan) is a successful novelist and has brotherhood thing with small dark patches, Alia Bhatt is coincidence in their life which creates another layer to it  but all these multi-complex looking formula is literally turns into a endearing balance film, where nobody is acting other than the Director Shakun Batra, I am giving him full credit for making this film enticing.

It is a very long film but it has all the plots and platters which keeps us alive, music is not too good but its situational, there are some unrevealed plots also which appears time to time. As a Dadu (Rishi Kapoor) looks awesome, after Kamal Hassan he also holds his makeup so smartly. Even Ratna Pathak was amazing, Rajat Kapoor as a cranky father is natural.

This is a must watch film, Go ‘Bindaas’ and enjoy this family.
