Doordarshan

I am a little astonished with the positive reviews for this movie - C'mon guys, this is a really badly made movie. The concept was great, recreating 80s atmosphere - but the movie completely missed the plot. The actors were really great - but when you have a weak script, what more can the actors do? Like I said earlier, this has been copied from a German film - Goodbye Lenin which I must have seen 7 years back. In Goodbye Lenin, the son and daughter recreate 80s East Germany (before unification) for their mother who was in a comma when the Berlin Wall broke. The effort that went into recreating that atmosphere in the movie was breathtaking, music was outstanding - whereas Doordarshan relied on silly double meaning jokes to get some smiles. Come on Mr. DIRECTOR and SCRIPTWRITER - please put in more effort, I am sure you can do better.

Yes yes, I am bias towards non-commercial , sensible, talented and refreshing cinema, hence the 8 star ratings.Period. Honestly speaking , you got to appreciate such cinema where effortless performances, no overacting and refreshing/fun plot can make you smile or cry. We should also try to relate ourselves to a son who will do anything to make his bed-ridden mother happy, and in process whole family comes together( with background of divorce). Please ignore some comments about ending and all that , and enjoy this family fest. Cheers

Funny movie, all the characters are amazing. Should give a good rating for these type of movies

Movie start with great laughter but this laugh fades as movie progresses. director tried to add some emotional scenes but remain unsuccessful during to bad screenplay. End could have been better and gradual.

Another free make of an excellent film. But the cast makes it a good watch.
