How interesting could a story be when only 3 men, 2 of which are beyond 70 (or more), are featured in it? Dry? Sleepy? Boring? Nope. All credits to the story teller (Saumya Joshi) and director (Umesh Shukla) for making this “102 Not Out”, as interesting, emotional and funny, as they could. And yes it is so relevant to today’s times.
Amitji - what a phenomenon he is! The scene in which he narrates the way his bahu dies, is so touching. His dialogue delivery, expressions, body language and every aspect of his performance is so remarkable! I am sure this will go as one of his best performances till date.
Rishi Kapoor has played along very well. The beautiful chemistry between them makes the audience smile to themselves and also laugh at a few places.
The 3rd character is also fitting in so well. Jimit Trivedi - Is he a theatre artist? Checked Google. Of course, he is! If you know what I mean, we can understand what he is made of from just this one movie. Subtle but strong performer! Kudos.
No glamour. No lady cast just for that purpose. No song and dance. It is just a “real” life story.
Overall, a must watch for every Indian. I now feel that I must have taken my mom out more boldly than fearing her poor health all the time. But hey! One of the conditions laid down in the story is not to worry. So let me try! 😊
