Vijay 69

The movie depicts a very simple story of Vijay, who's age is 69 and who gets very upset looking at his eulogy written by his friend. He wants to write something special which tells his entire life and what achievements he made. Fun loving, simple family drama but giving a very precious message. Age doesn't matter, every human in this world deserves his/her identity which is like a base of life. Everyone doesn't get a chance to achieve whatever they want in their young age but as it is said there is no time for any good thing to happen. Hence nobody should loose hope and keep trying until last.

A decent feel good movie with a few moments to smile. Anupamkher's acting is good and the combo with chunkey pandey makes you realise you need that one good friend who is always there for you. The story was good and there are no over the top drama and sequences. There is a deeper meaning the movie tries to convey about life which ever human being knows and does not do anything about it. There are no songs in the movie which helps with the momentum of the movie and makes it more close to a real life movie.

Overall definitely a one time watch movie with family except for a few words here and there.

Vijay 69 is a very touching movie..amazing acting by the entire cast esp. Anupam Kher and Chunky Pandey..it has a lot of fun moments esp the cussing by the members with each other in a light hearted manner...good storyline and screenplay..keeps you invested in the movie till the end...very good message about enjoying life n about age being just a number...very relevant in today's times where kids give up/ignore their parents in old age n don't feel emotionally connected to them at all. Hope it inspires us to take effort to collect with our parents in their old age and make them feel relevant and important.

Terrible over-acting.. Especially Chunky.. was and will always be one of the worst.. Kher same old antics, contorted faces, yelling.. Of course, it's "tailored" to the Bharatiya audience, so can't blame someone trying to make a quick buck.. and allowing Chunky to get some desperate earning.. The core message is great, but why this utter waste of time if all the people involved in this venture?? Ahh.. comes back to the audience. Oh well, they got what they want (deserve). Sadly, nowadays 90% stuff from Bollywood is this same rubbish. My review could be done in 5-6:words, but I've to reach the target (pun intended).

"Vijay 69," directed by Akshay Roy, is a slice-of-life film featuring Anupam Kher as Vijay Mathew, a former athlete and swimming coach who sacrificed his career for his terminally ill wife. Now older, Vijay feels unfulfilled and decides to participate in a triathlon despite limited support from his daughter and society. The movie highlights his strong friendship with Fali (played by Chunkey Pandey) and his unexpected bond with a young rival athlete, Aditya (Mihir Ahuja), showcasing friendship's power beyond age.

While the film stumbles in its early scenes with TV-like production and forced humor, it becomes compelling as Vijay begins his journey. Kher's performance, especially in the triathlon scenes, is a standout, capturing Vijay's determination and resilience. Pandey adds humor, while Sahil Bhardwaj's cinematography brings intensity to the triathlon. Despite some overdramatized moments, the film leaves a positive impression with its message about second chances and seizing the day.
