Shubh Yatra

"Shubh Yatra (2023) is now streaming on Shemaroome, featuring Malhar Thakar, Monal Gajjar, Darshan Jariwala, Hitu Kanodia, Archan Trivedi, Hemin Trivedi, Magan Luhar, Sunil Vishrani, and Jay Bhatt. Directed by the National Award-winning filmmaker Manish Saini, the film beautifully blends humor, drama, and family values.

The story revolves around Mohan Patel (Malhar Thakar) and his friend Hardik Patel (Hemin Trivedi), who face financial struggles after their milk business fails. Determined to overcome this, they plan to find employment in the United States with the help of a dubious agent. As they venture into illegal immigration, Mohan becomes an accountant in a drama theatre, while Hardik secures a tourist visa. However, Mohan's web of lies grows as he tries to hide his true intentions.

The movie is a great example of excellent storytelling, maintaining a perfect pace throughout. It's heartwarming and connects with the viewers' emotions. Malhar Thakar and Monal Gajjar, along with the rest of the cast, deliver commendable performances, making the film a must-watch."

"Shubh Yatra" lacks an engaging story and relies on already-revealed comedy dialogues from the trailer. The concept of honesty feels cliché, making it seem more like a kids' movie. The film fails to deliver, wasting two hours of potential entertainment. Not recommended.

Furthermore, the central concept of the film revolves around the age-old moral of honesty, a theme that has been explored in numerous movies before. While emphasizing such values is essential, "Shubh Yatra" fails to present it in a compelling and innovative manner.(mundane and predictable.)

The movie's overall execution gives the impression of catering to a younger audience, resembling a kids' movie rather than a well-rounded family entertainer. The lack of complexity and depth in the characters and storyline may leave adult viewers feeling unfulfilled.
