Uunchai

Agai a masterpiece by Sooraj Barjatya. He proves films can be made with love emotions and life. Full of life movie. Every frame every moment celebrates life and and it's crux. Star cast is amazing. They proved that age is just a number. Cinematography is wonderful. Though the introduction of characters were quite slow but when story runs it gains momentum. Songs are superb. Spacially ketiko. Sarika's come back is wonderful. Anupam kher again proved he is the best. Amitabh Bachchan ji, baoman Irani ji Neena Gupta ji, Danny denzongapa al r best.

I loved it, worth watching the movie. All must go n watch.

Three friends leave their comfy lives behind to enter on a journey to Mount Everest.

SoorajRBarjatya delivers a straight-from-the-heart film that *celebrates friendship and hope...*

A simple story treated with simplicity, with drama and with emotions. Slow paced 1st half but *its not boring..!!*

it's a beautiful film that deserves to be watched in the theatres *with family - frnds..!!*

The visuals are breath-taking, and it's probably one of the most visually appealing Sooraj Barjatya films.

Acting is good from all the lead actors..!! The magic, simplicity, and innocence of Sooraj Barjatya works in 2022 as well..!!

After a lot of disappointing films given by Bollywood recently, Uunchai is definitely a movie which a good to watch.

Cinematography and overall pace of the movie is good.

Acting of all 4 top Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani and Danny Denzongpa is true to their names.

I love Amit Trivedi's music but in this movie I find it very loud and not matching with the theme and background of the movie. It is more noisy than touching heart.

About the script and dialogues - there is a real lack of substance which can make it great.

The film is trying to cover so many dimensions in given time and that's why has not gone deep in to main theme of friendship.

On the other side if you don't go with high expectations then this is a good clean movie to watch along with family which is Rajshri Productions hallmark.

*UUNCHAI (2022) -*

Few aged friends take a trek to the Everest Base Camp (EBC-Nepal), to accomplish their friend's last wish. A naive climbing then becomes personal, emotional, and mystical journey as they battle their physical limitations (by being old) and recognize the true meaning of self-determination. Film has a very talented actors army like Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Danny, Boman Irani, Parineeti Chopra, Neena Gupta, Sarika and Nafisha Ali. Need not to say that all of them are great and have lifted this Rajshri Production's venture greatly as well.

Barjatyas are known for making large scale family entertainers! And Uunchai is also a family drama which revolves around friendship of senior citizens. Story is all about friends amongst whom one dies and rest all to fulfill his last wish decides to climb EBC. All of them have zeal, potential, firm motive and wish of accomplishment this task, but alongside limitations and difficulties. How they old aged completes this against all odds is the crux of this film.

Film has light comedy, drama, family emotions, friendship stories, sentiments, catchy dialogues, some real mountaineering, and scenic beauty of Everest. Yes! Amit Trivedi's music is outstanding and literally flows with the film. Songs are hummable and likable. Film is long and at times slow so screenplay could have been better here. Through sharp editing film also could have been cut shorted a bit coz it is nearly of 3 hours. But overall, it's a good watch and parents/grandparents would like it for sure. Take your family along and I would like to rate it as 3.5 / 5 (🌟🌟🌟💫).

*What I Liked Most? -* Anupam Kher and his comic-timing throughout.

*By - Niraj Solanki..!*

The story of the film is as clear as in the plot. What drives the film is the journey of the three friends. It's a story of friendship and what the term 'Friendship' truly means. The film will make you laugh and will make you cry. It will make your young ones think about their elders and will make the elders think about their young ones. Have great expectations with Uunchai. It's not a film we see everyday, it's a rare modern classic and will leave you thinking about life for some good few hours after watching it.

Uunchai is a fine watch and should be among the top cinema choices of your watchlist.
