Kaushaljis vs Kaushal

Watched at home with family. Every dialogues have deep meaning of holding a family bonding. I liked the quote "Realtionship is all about acceptance of each other's imperfections". Perfect for the current generation boyz and girls. It's after a long time that we could watch such an amazing movie with all the family members. This may not hit the box offices but it will definitely hit on the minds of the new generation guys.

Middle aged parents of grown up children living in a small town in UP find that they are quarreling and arguing most of the time. Both have not been able to pursue their individual passions after marriage. He ( Ashutosh Rana) wanted to be a quawwali singer while she ( Sheeba Chaddha) wanted to deal with manufacturing of Indian perfumes. During one of their bitter quarrels they decide to divorce much to the shock of their working son ( Pavail Gulati) who tries his best to persuade them to change their mind.

This then is the plot of a "grey divorce " in the making which is novel for Indian audiences no doubt but the final product doesn't come out so well. One gets the feeling that in better hands ( read writer/director) the movie could have turned out much better given that they have talented and versatile actors at their disposal.

Presently everything about the movie from script, direction to acting is average at best. The movie refuses to rise above that and connect with the audience despite a relatable premise. There is no intensity in the emotional scenes which remain superficial most of the time. The subplots are distracting too. Both Ashutosh and Sheeba have given many better performances earlier but here they do not impress. Pavail Gulati and his romantic interest Isha Talwar have done better comparitively.

A particular family movie with great inputs of emotions from each and every artist depicting the perfect indian middle class. A different story with delucate treatment. Very down to earth and realistic treatment by the director which somehow connects the viewers on a personal wavelength. Sheeba chaddha is an icing on the cake. Her acting is aging like old wine and more you watch her the more you feel absorbed in the character. Other actors are fine and do not disappoint at all. Background music is in perfect sync with the situations and creates a mesmerizing harmony. Do watch this movie with full family for a relaxed moment in today's noisy world.

A must, must, must-watch movie.

Movies like this have become rare nowadays.

In today's fast-paced, practical world, where quickly adopting western culture and thought processes have become necessity. It's truly refreshing to see a film that highlights family values, the importance of relationships, and the beauty of the "let go" mindset. This is a real gem.

After such a long time, I watched a movie that gave me goosebumps not from violence, cruelty, or betrayal, but from powerful dialogues and raw, real emotions.

No one is dying, no one is cheating or murdering for personal gain. It's just pure, authentic emotional depth and restraint.

I'm not sure if I'm expressing myself clearly or if you're truly feeling what I'm trying to convey but I sincerely believe that society needs more stories like this.

A big thank you to the team for bringing this to the public🙏🏻

I stumbled upon this one randomly and was pleasantly surprised. Amidst the plethora of crime and thriller content, a lighthearted drama like this offers a sense of calm.

The movie revolves around two generations of the Kaushals. A young man, Yug, wants to enjoy city life and is fed up with his parents, who live in a small town. However, when his parents decide to separate mutually, it throws his life into chaos.

It's a simple tale told as realistically as possible. The depiction of both generations is quite relatable-the way small-town people aspire to be part of the big city and how parents in smaller towns often compromise their ambitions to stay together. However, Yug's love angle feels unnatural, as it happens rather randomly and fails to connect with the audience. It could have easily been omitted.

Pavail Gulati as Yug does a good job and fits the role effortlessly. Veteran actors Sheeba Chaddha and Ashutosh Rana, as his parents, are a treat to watch and portray their parts to perfection. Isha Talwar, as the love interest, is endearing but doesn't have much to offer, ultimately feeling like an extra character. That said, the chemistry between the leads is fresh and works well.

The movie's pacing is just right, so you won't feel bored. However, the songs are below average and don't really stick with you. The courtroom drama feels overly cinematic, which dilutes the movie's authenticity.

It's not extraordinary, but its simple portrayal of slice-of-life drama works. A decent watch for some light entertainment.
