Thanks to some good acting, I slept for only an hour out of the 2 hrs of this excruciatingly slow movie.
Like Amitabh was suffering from lack of bowel movement, I was suffering from insomnia the past 3 weeks. This movie cured it, go for it if you are too - you won’t be disappointed. My mom was the one who wanted to see it and she said I was snoring, thank you Piku!
Leaving my problems aside, Amitabh’s role is very hard to define. He says in one scene that he needs women to have a purpose and goal in life and not just serve their partners throughout their married life. The very next, he throws tantrums and makes everyone, especially his daughter, Piku played by DP, constantly pay attention to him.
Agreed that older people behave like kids but his role was too cinematic to make you love him.DP and Irrfan acted really well, so did the irritating mausi. I would say, wait till the DVD release if you wanna absolutely watch it - not worth a visit to the theater.
