Uunchai Review
Producer-director Sooraj Barjatya returns with Altitude after a gap of seven years. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he has made the story relatable without compromising on Rajshree’s family and cultural values. The interesting thing is that through this journey, the director also plays the internal journey of the characters through introspection without any rhetoric. Although the story revolves around the elderly characters, but through that Suraj does not ignore the thinking of the generation and their problems. Parent-child, inter-generational discord is rationally analysed. Suraj has taken full care of the fact that when tears flow from the eyes in emotional moments, there should also be such light moments, where you cannot live without laughing or smiling. It is written in the scriptures that our mountains are the symbols of our Vedas and this is the Himalayas, ‘Even though we cannot see the Himalayas, but we should not forget that we also have the power of the Himalayas within us, through which we can handle every aspect of life. Can cross the height,’ as the dialogues go deep into the heart. Among all the merits of the film, there is one shortcoming, the length of the film. According to the films of today’s era, this film is very long. The journey of Delhi-Agra-Kanpur-Lucknow-Gorakhpur-Kathmandu is heart touching and enjoyable. The first half is strong, but in the second half the story looks a bit disorganized. Background score is awesome. Soulful lyrics by Irshad Kamil, music by Amit Trivedi. Manoj Kumar Khatoi’s camera lens beautifully depicts all the locations of this road trip. Food and culture of different places are also visible.
Uunchai: Starcast and Acting
The fort of acting is the strongest in the film. Every artist is perfect in their cast and that is the reason why everyone’s tone is seen to be restrained. There are many layers to Big B’s character and when he plays this central character on screen, his style and swag as well as depth of emotion are visible. Anupam Kher in the role of short-tempered friend does not live without winning accolades. Neena Gupta has become the benchmark for the success of such family roles. It is good to see Sarika as Mala after a long time. Boman Irani makes Javed’s character memorable with his special performance. Danny makes a deep impression in a small role. Parineeti Chopra does justice to her role.
Why watch – Must watch this film which explains the meaning of friendship and life.
