Shastry Viruddh Shastry

What a gem of a movie on Netflix! Kudos to directors Nandita Roy and Shiboprosad Mukherjee, who are known to have delivered many great films in the Bengali film industry. Shastry Virudhh Shastry, a remake of Bengali film Posto, is bound to touch a chord with those dealing with modern-day parenting. There are many Indian households where grandparents pay an active role in raising children, while the parents are slogging it off to win bread for the family. This particular tale is about what happens when these parents decide to take the child with them abroad. By now, the grandparents' world has already started revolving around the child. The matter leads to court and despite living in the same house, the parents and the grandparents fight it out legally. An innocent film that is rooted in reality, Shastry Virudhh Shastry is a must-watch this season!

Acting of the son wasn't convincing, he was not able to convey his frustration and anger. He is angry in one scene and very next, he is singing a song. You needed someone stronger there against paresh rawal to play that scene. He challenges his father in one scene and is begging him in the next, very stupid scene.

The plot was good, story was good. Courtroom scenes are good and logical with good appeals from both side. Both side lawyers have played good role.

In the middle of all this, movie tries to talk about social issues like grandparents being parents for their grandchildren in India and US, which does not makes sense and jumps out of nowhere.

Movie could have been much better if it explained the son father chemistry properly and with some insights.

If you hadn't watched original bengali movie 'Posto' then this is your time to watch one of the must watch movies about family bonding and relationship centered around a small child who is heart of all.

The story narration and script is one of the best I have come across and the acting by various actors is cherry on the top.

Movie has plenty of emotional areas with touch of joy,happiness,sadness which will make you feel the same .

The movie is completely centered around a family and will have too much resemblance to our day to day life and activities.

I would like to give 7.5 stars to this movie and is recommended must watch.

Story of a legal battle between grandfather and the father to claim custody of a child when parents decide to shift overseas. Expected it to be more intense n more emotional but it was quite a okayish drama. Highlights struggle of urban working parents to look after their child. Definitely could have been more better. But worth a one time watch provided you like very slow family story. My ratings 5/10!

Don't know who is writing such dumb stories. Old grand parents don't want their own children to come home but somehow becomes decision maker to keep grand children. Things don't add up. Smaller things are portrayed parents in bad light. The arrangements are not rational or logical.

In reality the parents are supposed to be decision maker to see what they eat where they go to school etc. But the roles are flipped without any logical explanation. The grand parents are so selfish to keep grand children in village and keep opportunities away from small kid. All kids working in USA portrayed as greedy, no explanation given why?
