Raj (Amitabh Bachchan), a banker, has done his best to raise his four sons in the hopes that when he and their mother, Pooja (Hema Malini), retire, they will take good care of them. However, things do not work out that way. When Raj retires, the sons want him to live with the eldest (Aman Verma), while the second-oldest (Samir Soni) cares for Pooja. The youngest two children, in turn, will each take a parent six months later. Will the sons persist with such a cruel arrangement?

Outlook

Too much happens in the three-hour-long film. There are too many family functions, yet another soppy karva chauth and too much of romance.

Rated: 2/4

A manipulative propaganda film masquerading as wholesome entertainment.

Baghban might be way too similar to Rajesh Khanna's Avtaar, but I can clearly state that the film does bring a lot of new things on the table whilst being a stellar film in itself. The one thing that surprised me the most is Salman Khan's performance as the (kind of) adopted son Alok. I simply did not expect his performance to be so good. Amitabh as Raj and Hema as Pooja are simply fabulous. I genuinely cared for their relationship which acts as one of the key driving points for the film. Also, even if everyone says no, do watch this with your parents, it'll strength your bonds with them.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
