Nope N Apr 17 The condescension here of the "Top Critics" is not just over-the-top, it's also a cliché unto itself. Notice all the negative reviews: they all harp on the same supposed flaw, that this film feels too much like a play, or like the original play, or that it belongs in the theatre, not the big screen. Rubbish. Not an original thought among them. Calling out the material for being too similar to its source is a gross failure. The film, while certainly imperfect and somewhat itself cliched, is far more than endearing and charming: its the tenderest of love stories between father and son, and one which is served extremely well by the outstanding leads. See more r 9 05/10/2022 Good fun and surprisingly nails the sweetness too. '102 Not Out' is a film that I had a pleasant time with. Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor are terrific in this release, with those two making for an entertaining double act. Jimit Trivedi and Vijay Raaz are solid too, albeit in much more minor roles. I wouldn't say anything comedically made me laugh, though the humour is still one of the film's main positives. It, in fact, holds its own when it comes to the more sombre bits, which are put together almost perfectly. I thought it would stray into cringe/cheese territory at some point, but this flick never does... it actually comes across impressively well. The music is also pretty good, I particularly enjoyed "Bachche Ki Jaan" - even though it does sound out of place here and there, yet again finds a way to work. "Badumbaaa" makes for a decent outro piece, shame about the (minor, in how often its seen - editor had a conscience?) use of blackface for the music video though - not that it was ever fine, but in 2018? Come on... Overall, this did indeed surprise me. Hearty.

The screenplay was top-notch, there were hardly any lengthy scenes or boring emotional dialogues. I liked the scene when to prove an important point, Dattatraya calls up a number in the USA and puts the conversation on speaker - it was refreshing to see this straight batting within a family.

See more 07/23/2018 I enjoyed Rishi Kapoor expressions through out the film and Jimit Trivedi performance is another best thing. See more 05/21/2018 Unique storyline. Lots of laughs. Good moral message. See more Read all reviews
