'Vanvas' is a deeply emotional and thought-provoking masterpiece, beautifully directed by Anil Sharma. Nana Patekar delivers a powerful and heart-wrenching performance as a father navigating the neglect and loneliness faced by aging parents. The film, a modern take on 'Baghban,' sheds light on the sacrifices parents make for their children, only to be forgotten in their later years. The story takes a poignant turn when an orphan, unrelated by blood, steps in to provide unconditional love and care, showcasing the true meaning of family and compassion. With a gripping narrative, impactful performances, and a heartfelt message, 'Vanvas' is more than just a movie-it's a lesson in empathy, respect, and the importance of family bonds. This film is a must-watch for its ability to stir emotions, inspire societal change, and leave viewers with tears and a renewed perspective on life and relationships.

Vanvaas (2024) Review - A Missed Opportunity
Rating: 5/10
"Vanvaas" had the potential to be a gripping emotional drama, but unfortunately, it overstays its welcome. The film is unnecessarily long, stretching well beyond what is needed to tell its story. If the editor had done a better job, this movie could have been a tight, impactful 90-minute experience instead of the drawn-out slog it became.
The only saving grace here is Nana Patekar. His performance is powerful, heartfelt, and keeps you invested. However, everything else around him feels like filler. The supporting characters, subplots, and moralizing dialogues add little value and could have been trimmed significantly. The excessive runtime only dilutes the emotional weight of the film rather than enhancing it.
Overall, Vanvaas is a classic case of a film that doesn't know when to stop. If you're a fan of Nana Patekar, it might be worth a watch, but be prepared for a test of patience.

I usually do not write a review on a movie.
But this one do deserve it. Nana sir's acting I can not judge. He always show something new and try to feed everytime a new version of himself.
For this movie I can't compair nana patekar's with Natsamrat.
This movie is good to watch with family. It shows how you should respect your mother/father after a certain age. I do feel this was the grounded movie no extra thing just if you leave the love story of a side actors.
The cost was good, they give their 100% to their roles.
I felt myself somewhere in that movie. I do love my parents and still it hit me somewhere. Maybe just staying with them is not enough how do we treat that too matter.

Vanvas is a simple and wonderful story, with Nana Patekar in the best role of his life, and Utkarsh too has won everyone's heart. Jeetendra Sahani Jeet
Jeet: It is said that parents bear all their troubles and sacrifice their comforts and give everything to their children but when these children grow up, they consider their parents a burden and leave them like orphans in old age homes or somewhere else, something similar is the film Vanvas produced and directed by Anil Sharma. This film will definitely remind you of old films like Amrit, Swarg starring Rajesh Khanna and Baghban starring Amitabh Bachchan. The film is very good. In some parts, Anil Sharma suggests that he could have made a more thoughtful film and imagined a world of grey instead of just black and white. In this case, separated parents Deepak Tyagi Nana Patekar who is losing his memory, but the only positive thought of his (Nana Patekar) children was that he also loves them very much. In the greed of more money, the son and daughter leave him on the ghat of Varanasi and return to their home and perform his shraddha karma and that too for just a few rupees. The writer of the film Sunil Srivaiya has left no stone unturned to make this film better, every part has been presented very well. The first part of the film is a bit slow before the intermission but after the intermission its success is commendable. Uttarkarsh's Banarasi character is quite interesting,Uttarkarsh also has some weak parts, who will definitely improve his art in the future and he has also done a great job in terms of acting. The work of all the other actors is also very commendable. You must watch this film once with your whole family, especially the youth.
