Kaalidhar Laapata

The acting of both Abhishek and the young lead is 10/10.

Abhishek has not gathered the respect he deserves. On a scale of 1 to 10, since his first movie, he was always an 8, 9, or 10.

Whether you see his character in Happy New Year, he is a versatile actor. How can an eight-year-old possibly deliver what he did? Wanted the movie to extend longer and not end.

True about family or friends. Agenda-driven. Even the Disease is handled so beautifully...Shine on the entire team. The direction and the dialogues are all on point.

Every character has done justice to their roles. I wish such movies were appreciated by the broader audience in theaters.

Great acting by both the main leads; KD and Ballu.

Kaalidhar Laapata is a heartfelt and visually stunning journey that touches the soul. Abhishek Bachchan delivers a career-best performance, bringing quiet strength and vulnerability to the role of Kaalidhar. His chemistry with the young and endearing Daivik Bhagela is the heart of the film-natural, moving, and unforgettable. Director Madhumita crafts a story filled with warmth, humanity, and emotional depth, supported by beautiful cinematography that captures the essence of rural India. Uplifting, sincere, and deeply emotional, this film is a gentle reminder of the healing power of kindness and connection.

A really nice effort from the whole team. Simple and effective performance from the main cast. But yet I feel there could have been much more in it to show the bonding between Ballu and KD. Some moments fell flat. Those fillers could have worked to make it more entertaining and would have maintained the flow of the story as well. Also I feel they should have showed more of Subodh's character to form a link with the audience as well. His character felt underutilised.

Overall, it's a movie worth watching with a very powerful message for those who live for others happiness and have burdened themselves with duty, that "you should live for yourself as well. Do want you want to do in life. Avoid procrastination".

This kind of movie need to appreciate story, script, background music acting scenes all are superbp. Abhishek bachchan is growing with each and every movie he is now choosing good script based movie. Character Ballu a child actor also did well his acting is also superb. These kind of movie should be released in cinema theatres wold wide. A hidden and surprised character kaalidhar's beloved nimrat kaur her scenes are short but impressive. Do not ignore junior bachachan now he is performing well. He is one of the best actor in the Bollywood. He is totally different actor. Just go and watch now it's OTT released movie.

Tone, Script & Story: In a remote place a man named Kaalidhar is left behind in a mela by his family as they are not interested in taking care of him anymore. His family tries to frame forged documents in the process. First Kaalidhar tries to search for his family but then escapes with a child named Ballu whom he befriends while on being on the run. Ballu comes as a beacon of light in Kaalidhar's life. He creates a Bucketlist for Kaalidhar. Will they together fulfill it? Will Kaalidhar's family reunite?

There is a lot to this flick apart from what is mentioned above. It would become a spoiler if I go further.

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The village, the temple, the ghats, the kumbh, etc everything has been captured well. Music is good. Acting from entire cast is well executed.

Final Verdict: Do watch it! You won't be disappointed.
