    A Modern Classic.

    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.

    Good film but falls short as must watch

    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.

    Fine and Inspiring Family Film

    *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 (πŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸŒŸπŸ’«).

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

    Uunchai ..the meaning of life..

    A magic created by a legendry Director Sooraj Barjatya...a movie without any obscene scenes and violent action and sticking to the pure basics of narrating the story with a low budget of 35 crores with mega starcast.

    May be today's generation will not like but they must send their parents to watch this movie because this movie portraying love, togetherness, the strong friendship bond, family values, culture and relationships. Aap samay ke saath chaliye but not on cost of humanities and values.

    Relationships are very important, if you love someone or missing someone then Dont do delay in communicating your feelings..love never dies its remains in your heart.. never miss a moment with your loved ones. ...kal rahen na rahen.. background song ..ye jeewan hai..iss jeewan ka yahi hai rang roop..whole film treatment is based on the inner meaning of this song.

    It narrates to find of solution balancing the elder younger generation & to listen to each other.

    This Film is not about Everest but it teaches us about standing tall & firmly in all circumstances with feet grounded like Everest.

    In one frame your eyes are full of tears in next frame you are laughing ..what a wonderful treatment, emotions..life lesson what not.. It's teaches us to convert unpleasant discussions into lighter moments, Life is unpredictable, enjoy each & every moment, Spread happiness all around giving your hundred percent.

    Amazing Cinematography by Manoj Khatoi..Camera moves according to the emotions and demand of scene ..simply amazing photography of Himalayan range.. songs are not hit but very soothing and sweet with situations and Nepalese flavour, well composed by Amit Trivedi.. Towering performance by sadi ke mahanayak Amitabh Bacchan, mesmeric support by Boman Irani, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta and Sarika and Pariniti Chopra. Danny was felt till the end.

    Several times I have been in Nepal..I am fond of Nepal. After so many years seeing Nepal beauty mesmerized me.

    This movie will compels you to watch again.. Lastly I will say Sooraj Barjatya is actual hero.

    In one frame all the legends are performing their best..this miracle only *Sooraj Sir* can do.

    ZINDAGI KO HAAN KAR DE, SOCH KO JAWAN KAR DE"

    After all it's just a film... so what.... Many would describe this latest presentation of #Rajishriproductions but this one is way beyond that.... A tale of friendship,of togetherness,of love,of bonding & more importantly of culture & tradition & who better than Mr #soorajbartajya to showcase it on the big screen... Moving with times is not bad but not at the cost of humanity & values Mr #Amitabhbachan undoubtedly is a legend & is par excellence but cheers to the director & writer for not letting the audience feel his dominance over the other characters being his friends played by another set of brilliant actors Mr #anupamkher & #bomanirani & then we have another veteran Mr #dannydenzonpa & if we have seen him on screen after a long time we know for the matter of fact there must be some substance to his role ...a guest appearance it is but he leaves an impact as always... Not to steal the contribution of the female actresses #sarika #neenagupta both good #parineetichopra too is impressive.
