Friday Night Plan

Friday Night Plan (streaming on Netflix) is a coming-of-age comedy film about two teenage brothers, Siddharth (Babil Khan) and Aditya (Amrith Jayan), who team up to attend the hottest party of the year after their mother leaves for a work trip. The film follows the brothers as they navigate the ups and downs of their first big night out, all while learning more about themselves and each other.

The film's strongest asset is its cast. Babil Khan and Amrith Jayan are both excellent as the bickering brothers, and they have great chemistry together. Juhi Chawla is also good as the boys' mother, and she brings a lot of warmth to the role. The supporting cast is also solid, with Ninad Kamat, Medha Rana, and Aadhya Anand all giving admirable performances.

The film masterfully balances humor and heart, filled with numerous laugh-out-loud moments intertwined with touching emotional scenes. It offers a realistic portrayal of teenage life, capturing the awkwardness, excitement, and uncertainties of adolescence through believable and relatable characters. Central to the narrative is the celebration of brotherhood; the bond between Siddharth and Aditya serves as the film's emotional core, making it delightful to witness their relationship deepen as the story unfolds.

The film's direction is also effective. Vatsal Neelakantan does a good job of capturing the energy and excitement of the night out, while also providing some touching moments between the brothers. The film's screenplay is also well-written, with plenty of laughs and heartwarming moments.

If you are looking for a heartwarming and funny film about the power of brotherhood, then I highly recommend Friday Night Plan. ...

A fun movie to watch with family. Its a sort of 'Coming of age' movie of 2 teenage brothers who bond over a crazy Friday night and it also beautifully shows the close bond and love of the brothers and their mother. And it teaches us that amidst all of our life's pressures its okay to have some fun and in the end it also teaches a lesson in learning to live responsibly. Very good acting by all. The direction is good and seamless and very natural; bringing out the best in the actors. A good watch. Juhi has acted well, and its a pleasure to see her on the small screen. Wish she gets more meatier role that will do credit to her acting callibre.

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.

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.

Discovering your own way and self in the world of being cool. Knowing what may be considered the best may not be the best for you!

Following your gut and being straightforward.

Mumbai police takes the heart...

And Juhi Chawla's presence is nothing but an icing on the cake.

Worth the watch!

It'll leave you with a beautiful feeling by the end.

Directed by Vatsal Neelakantan. Really good feel nice movie of brotherhood. All the cast are amazing. Babil Khan ( Irfan Khan's son) and Amrith Jayan will steal your hearts as the most amazing cunning loving brothers. It's about how Juhi Chawla goes out of town for work, and the two brothers go for a Friday night plan party. Babil khan being the new hero as he won the football match for the school, suddenly the party gets all interesting for the brothers. How they prank the other school kids, and all the brotherly moments, and how the real connection is what results in love, is nicely shown. Everyone acted really well.
