Thai Massage

An eye opening story for the children, who thinks that their parents can not do or even capable of doing any bad or sinister thing in life and put them on a very high pedal where they forget, their parents are human before becoming your parents and they also have humanly desires and wishes and their bucket of regret. This is the movie that shows us how to express our feeling and open ourselves to the life and understand what it is offering. We in our daily life and routine, forget to enjoy it but we have to cease every moment with joy and when our loved ones die we forget to cherish it. This movie is a very good reminder.

The storyline of this movie reminded me of the movie " Good luck to you Leo Grande " which I watched last year in which a 60 plus lady hires a young gigolo to experience orgasm after many long years. Here we have a lonely, naive, confused 70 year old widower ( Gajraj Rao) from an orthodox town Ujjain who is troubled by his depleted libido. He has a problem of erectile dysfunction and is desperately seeking solutions. A clever young guy ( Divyendu Sharma ) takes advantage of the situation feigning sympathy, gets him treated by a local quack and packs him off to Thailand for fulfillment of his carnal desires through the popular "boom boom" process there.

Director Mangesh Hadawale gives a simplistic treatment to the story and the narrative stumbles along in a slow pace. It does get boring at places but recovers soon. A better storyline was required to make it gripping. The comedy scenes don't actually work and Rajpal Yadav in a comic role could not do much to salvage the situation. It is basically a serious movie and Gajraj Rao does well as usual. He faithfully projects the loneliness and confusion of the character of the widower. A number of seniors of that age group may find his bumbling, shuffling and lurching behavior relatable. In a not so well written role Divyendu Sharma is passable as the crafty young man who takes advantage of the simplicity of Gajraj Rao. A Russian actress Alina Zarobina has given a nice performance. There are some attractive visuals of the sights in Thailand and some more similar scenes would have made the movie still better.

*Right to Sex* - just like RTI is the topic, here..!!

We don't expect our senior citizens to have a sex life. That's especially true for people over 60.

Thai Massage tackles all these questions and more. It's the story of a 70 year old widower who has started suffering from erectile dysfunction.

He wants to experience sex one more time before he loses the ability completely. *(Diyya Bujne se pehlle Jor se fadffadata hai 😄)*

gajraj rao & Divyendu sharma both are good and played their own part very-well..!!

It's a clean sex comedy that will definitely make you smile in places...!! 😄 - One time watch.

Weekend watch: Thai Massage ( Hindi film streaming on Netflix) #sanjuzzreviews #netflixindia #thaimassage #GajrajRao #DivyenduSharma This is a dramedy where a Sanskari babuji type septuagenarian, Gajraj Rao realises that he has erectile dysfunction and might not be able to have sex anymore, especially since he is a widower and is expected to conform to the rules set by conservative society in the small town of Ujjain.

In comes Divyendu Sharma, a stranger, but takes up the old man's cause and makes a secret plan to send him to Thailand for some much needed " BOOM BOOM"🙂. This clandestine trip is discovered 3 yrs later accidently by his children and that's where the fun begins.

A light hearted film which will definitely invoke spontaneous laughter especially due to the great on screen chemistry between the lead actors Gajraj Rao and Divyendu Sharma. Both of them are too good. Rajpal Yadav as well as others in the cast have shown grt comic timing in their small roles to add a lot of humor all throughout.

Most of you might not have caught this film in Nov 2022 when it released in theatres.

Definitely worth a watch on OTT though !!

Going with 3/5 for this one.. Adios 🙂!!

Second half of the movie was much better. I feel first half could have been made better. Rather than using fear of erectile dysfunction, they could have used missing romance in life, fear of society, fear of dying as a reason to build the character.

The movie tries to introduce comedy with the help of Rajpal Yadav and Divyendu Sharma but fails. The comic scenes are out of place and seems forced for a movie like this. The only humor which works is when Atma is caught couple of times expressing his sexual desires. The dialogues could have been slightly better especially in the first half of the movie.

The acting as good. Everyone did a decent job. The subject was good and overall a movie you can watch for the second half.
