Friday Night Plan

High school drama in bollywood has always been a bit exaggerated but not in this film. This new age drama is filled with a bit of realism and innocense. There's a touch of sibling love, family, friendship, and love with a hint of drama and comedy. Although they haven't delved much, it's just enough to keep it short and sweet. The charm of the characters and the hilarity of the situations they find themselves in make up for it. The film also has moments of heart and sincerity, reminding us that even in the midst of chaos, there can be genuine connections and personal growth. Although it's a one time watch, it leaves you with a smile as the credits roll.

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.

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!

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.

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.
