Friday Night Plan

Friday Night Plan🤝 Karwaan.

TLDR- Wholesome entertainment which will put a smile on your face

From the general feels of the movie to the music to just the feel good nature of the plot, Babil Khan shows that his dad's (Irfan Khan for context) acting blood flows through him. But it's not just that- Babil also adds his own flair of subtlety plus panache (oxymoronic but see the film to understand why)- which is very much in tone with the film. With strong performances all around- from Amrith Jayan playing the perfect younger brother to Babil's big brother, and the rest of the cast also giving just the right amount of impact for their roles- all done very gently and nothing becoming overbearing, this is an example of a film that shows that what matters most for a film is a solid plot, and characters that the audience can connect with. Solid plot, simple and beautiful dialogues and likeable performances do indeed make for a good show. And the music on top of this- the entire thing just feels like one big warm hug.

I am extremely biased towards a good movie that narrates a story of a siblinghood and its small nuances. The story is uncomplicated and the narrative is pretty straight forward and essentially carries the essence of innocence both in dialogue, framing and overall flow of the story.

A huge reason why a lot of us (including me) watched this movie is because of Babil Khan, and the reminiscing memory and image of his wonderful extraordinaire father, Late Irfan Khan. And it's no question that despite of this immense pressure to keep up his father's name, Babil does extreme justice to his effortless acting legacy. Moreover the best part is, even if he was not the son of such great persona, the viewers would still love his performance.

Now coming to the movie it is a simple flowing story of an introvert overthinking older brother, Siddharth who has a stark contrasting younger sibling Aditya living with their single Mom (Played by ever gorgeous Juhi Chawla), and the chaotic story that takes place in a single day in their everyday life in absence of their mother. The chemistry of two brothers is a spitting image of everyday reality of many (if not all) brotherhood. It is warm, fuzzy, nostalgic and if you're away from your sibling, it will make you want to call them to reminisce your childhood days.

Special mention to the scenes where Amrith Jayan has given a spectacular performance of hyping his older brother up as a reflection of exactly how much he looks up to him.

A brilliant light hearted movie that can be rewatched more than once.

Agreed with some of other comments that this showcased Indian upper class school kids life, but that's also a part of India isn't it?

This is far better than a lot of high budget movies that are all bling and fail to connect at any level with their audience.

Even though not much happened in terms of story, but the depiction of emotions and a touch of complexity added to each character was a treat to watch. Indian cinema needs many more such movies.

Could have used some great angles to add some more depth to the story but not sure why they were not fully explored even though there were hints of something more riveting all over.

A great family entertainer. Characters are very relatable and well presented. The movie is a poignant exploration of the complex bond between two siblings, each grappling with their unique psychological challenges. The film artfully delves into the depths of their individual struggles, showcasing the power of understanding and connection.

At its heart, "Friday night plan" revolves around the contrasting personalities of its main characters, Sid and Adi. Sid, portrayed brilliantly by Babil, is a young man plagued by crippling indecision, his life marked by hesitation and fear of making choices. In stark contrast, Adi, played by Amrith, exudes confidence and a devil-may-care attitude, often overshadowing his brother. The cast do justice to the roles.

It's a simple film but boy is it sweet!

Story of a single mother with two teenage boys and their bonding. Younger brother takes the heart, Bhai ho toh Aisa!

Teenage boyhood love but dealt with such maturity, the poignancy of balancy both - Responsibility and flexibility.
