Thai Massage

Concept is new but the execution & storytelling is very poor..script is not that good but comedy was very poor..there is very few funny elements in this film..acting wise everyone has done really good job but to be very honest,the kissing part between the lead old actor and that young girl who is a vlogger in this film is not good.my age is only 26 but i can't even appreciate this.. because a 65 years old married man can't kiss a 25years old young girl..if they feel for each other then the director should show this as a father-daughter relationship or just a friendship..because that's not our culture.

Second half of the movie was much better. I feel first half could have been made better. Rather than using fear of erectile dysfunction, they could have used missing romance in life, fear of society, fear of dying as a reason to build the character.

The movie tries to introduce comedy with the help of Rajpal Yadav and Divyendu Sharma but fails. The comic scenes are out of place and seems forced for a movie like this. The only humor which works is when Atma is caught couple of times expressing his sexual desires. The dialogues could have been slightly better especially in the first half of the movie.

The acting as good. Everyone did a decent job. The subject was good and overall a movie you can watch for the second half.

The graph of the film just goes on dipping after the initial promise. The fabulous character of Gajraj from Baddhai Ho has been picked as it is but here he has nothing sensible to do. The film looks like it was not made as a creative expression but as a pot boiler. The makers have no clue whether they wanted to entertain audience, critics or themselves. Extremely disappointing, by the end I was left high and dry. No message, no storytelling. The so called comedy is stuff for the sick. The film kept on finding new lows. Pretty similar to the writer director who started with a bang with Tingya and the films have kept on going downhill.

The title is somewhat misleading as the Bangkok "massage" know as Yum-Yum and Boom-Boom can be seen more in-depth on Y/T with lots more explicate scenes. A 70 year old widower, who has never travelled beyond his native village, all of a sudden realizes he is Old" and wants to have sex, just one more time. He tells some relatives who either "judge" him or ridicule him in a cruel was, behind his back. He gets brave and travels to Bangkok Thailand in search of a sex partner. First he gets tricked in to just seeing a stage play. Then hires a hooker but falls asleep while she is showering which prompts her to just leave without any "action" taking palace. He then meets a beautiful Russian girl who is travelling around, just SEEING the world. Realizing that he hasn't really LIVED, he decides to join her in her travels. Now he is starting to really live and enjoy the time he still has on earth. Aside from the happy ending, the rest of the movie is all about ridicule and extreme "judgement" by his entire family. The sooner he gets away from all of them the better. The loneliness of being single in old age is explored throughout the movie. I didn't find much to laugh at but I suspect is was made as a comedy for Indian audiences.

Weekend watch: Thai Massage ( Hindi film streaming on Netflix) #sanjuzzreviews #netflixindia #thaimassage #GajrajRao #DivyenduSharma This is a dramedy where a Sanskari babuji type septuagenarian, Gajraj Rao realises that he has erectile dysfunction and might not be able to have sex anymore, especially since he is a widower and is expected to conform to the rules set by conservative society in the small town of Ujjain.

In comes Divyendu Sharma, a stranger, but takes up the old man's cause and makes a secret plan to send him to Thailand for some much needed " BOOM BOOM"🙂. This clandestine trip is discovered 3 yrs later accidently by his children and that's where the fun begins.

A light hearted film which will definitely invoke spontaneous laughter especially due to the great on screen chemistry between the lead actors Gajraj Rao and Divyendu Sharma. Both of them are too good. Rajpal Yadav as well as others in the cast have shown grt comic timing in their small roles to add a lot of humor all throughout.

Most of you might not have caught this film in Nov 2022 when it released in theatres.

Definitely worth a watch on OTT though !!

Going with 3/5 for this one.. Adios 🙂!!
