Uunchai

Film Review Uunchai #sanjuzzreviews #Uunchai #AmitabhBachchan #bomanirani #AnupamKher The plot of this Barjatiya film is fairly simple. Three friends Amit Srivastava ( Amitabh Bacchan), Om ( Anupam Kher) & Javed ( Boman Irani) undertake the arduous trek to Everest Base Camp to honour the final wish of their recently deceased friend Bhupen(Danny).

Salon main ek aisi film aati hai jo dil ko choo jaati hai; Uunchai is one such film. Awesome ensemble cast. Superb dialogues, especially the banter between the 3 friends. Amitabh,Baman & Kher as the protagonists have given fabulous performances. Neena Gupta is a suprise package who really impresses in her small impactful role. Parineeti is wasted in a small role, Sarika too does well.

Cinematography is mashallah, the beautiful, white, snow clad Himalayas are very well captured.

Backstories of each and every character is very well etched out & does not digress from the main narrative.

Music is very good.. "KT Ko" is fantastic and so is "Haan kar De" both sung by Amit Trivedi.

Uunchai will definitely bring tears in ur eyes or at least a lump in ur throat during the beautifully enacted emotional scenes .

Unmissable!!! Watch either on OTT or in theatres where it is now screening!!

4/5 from me for this film .. Adios 🙂!!

Three friends leave their comfy lives behind to enter on a journey to Mount Everest.

SoorajRBarjatya delivers a straight-from-the-heart film that *celebrates friendship and hope...*

A simple story treated with simplicity, with drama and with emotions. Slow paced 1st half but *its not boring..!!*

it's a beautiful film that deserves to be watched in the theatres *with family - frnds..!!*

The visuals are breath-taking, and it's probably one of the most visually appealing Sooraj Barjatya films.

Acting is good from all the lead actors..!! The magic, simplicity, and innocence of Sooraj Barjatya works in 2022 as well..!!

*UUNCHAI (2022) -*

Few aged friends take a trek to the Everest Base Camp (EBC-Nepal), to accomplish their friend's last wish. A naive climbing then becomes personal, emotional, and mystical journey as they battle their physical limitations (by being old) and recognize the true meaning of self-determination. Film has a very talented actors army like Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Danny, Boman Irani, Parineeti Chopra, Neena Gupta, Sarika and Nafisha Ali. Need not to say that all of them are great and have lifted this Rajshri Production's venture greatly as well.

Barjatyas are known for making large scale family entertainers! And Uunchai is also a family drama which revolves around friendship of senior citizens. Story is all about friends amongst whom one dies and rest all to fulfill his last wish decides to climb EBC. All of them have zeal, potential, firm motive and wish of accomplishment this task, but alongside limitations and difficulties. How they old aged completes this against all odds is the crux of this film.

Film has light comedy, drama, family emotions, friendship stories, sentiments, catchy dialogues, some real mountaineering, and scenic beauty of Everest. Yes! Amit Trivedi's music is outstanding and literally flows with the film. Songs are hummable and likable. Film is long and at times slow so screenplay could have been better here. Through sharp editing film also could have been cut shorted a bit coz it is nearly of 3 hours. But overall, it's a good watch and parents/grandparents would like it for sure. Take your family along and I would like to rate it as 3.5 / 5 (🌟🌟🌟💫).

*What I Liked Most? -* Anupam Kher and his comic-timing throughout.

*By - Niraj Solanki..!*

This movie is a definite watch. It has its soul in the right place. The director has made it with lot of purity and sincerity. The caste as everybody know is awesome . All amazing actors have done amazing work.

Music by the master amit Trivedi is again bang on. The cinematography has to be appreciated and the dedication of the actors to work in extreme conditions at this age is very inspiring.

Surprisingly the movie had a lot of good humour(not at all forced) and you do laugh a lot . In that way it is really well written. I personally felt this movie had the best humor ( situational, dialogue) in recent times in Hindi films.

All in all a movie which makes you laugh, cry and gives you a much needed perspective on life.

Though being a nepalese and day since its shooting being an anticipated one, though my expectations didn't matched the reality I still loved it as a family drama "ofcourse" dur to its production company.

A beautiful trip to Himalayas to fulfill last dreams of noe from the 'foursome' friends who are together irrespective of what they are involved in.

A simple story with simplicity, magnificient acting and actors.

It deserves to be watched at least once by a nepalese specially and how the really old ones went to the shooting locatiosn to really 'shoot'. Yes, use of VFX is minimum don't expect bramhastra ehre.

A nice family entertainera at last.!!
