If I have to describe or rename this movie I would rename it as &quot; Hum saath saath hain Featuring Everest Base Camp &quot;.<br/>I actually had good expections from this one because I like slow paced and Motivating Content. But this one is quite boring. The Starcast is On-point but Story is damm weak &amp; Production house haven't Changed their way of Story Telling which is Very Important in today's time. I didn't like Parineeti's Character and she was not fitting the part. She as a Trek Leader is not Convincing enough &amp; unable to control the damage on Trek. Also writer could have worked on Other side characters who are part of Everest Base Camp. I liked all the other Aspects which includes Frames, Tones, Cinematography &amp; Music. The transitions from past to present are very smooth &amp; it shows how visionary Sooraj Barjatya is as a Director. The movie tries to Celebrate the Friendship but Dialogues &amp; The Situations in each Character's life doesn't touch the Core. Well, we hope Bollywood comes up with these Subjects with good Scripts .

Just too good movie. Teaches you about various but common behavioral scuffles within a family and how to rise above them. Adventure is there as well.

Great Movie to watch with family. Amazing work of all stars...

I fully agree the first half of the movie is the best. My major disappointment about the second half is lack of authenticity about the locale, i.e., trek from Namche Bazar to Everest Base Camp. I have trekked to EBC thrice in my life. You don't trek every day for acclimatization reasons on this part of the trail. The location of EBC is not exact. It is totally fictitious. The long bridge on which some irrelevant action is shot is below Namche and we cross it on the second day's trek from Phakding to Namche. There is no such bridge between Lobuche and EBC. Shows total lack of proper research. Overall, it is a good movie in terms of human feelings, relationships and life in general.

Amitabh Bachchan starrer Uunchai movie REVIEW

• Bubble Reviews
• Uunchai REVIEW: Amitabh Bachch ...

Film: Uunchai

Directed by: Sooraj R. Barjatya

Star Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Danny Denzongpa, Sarika, Neena Gupta, Parineeti Chopra

Uunchai Movie Review:

I know that only very few wouldn’t have a last wish. While many manage to fulfill their dreams and ambitions, a certain few fail to. Uunchai, based on a journey of three friends around 60 years of age or so, who plan to trek to the Everest Base Camp aka EBC, is all about friendship and hope. The movie is heartwarming and well-executed. However, if you let go of the beautifully captured and picturesque views of the Himalayas, Uunchai does have its flaws. As the stellar performances and plot keep you hooked, the music of the movie keeps it all well-bound together and accompanies it perfectly.

Uunchai opens with Parineeti Chopra, the trek guide, excited and welcoming her team. She looks amped up for the trek and so are the other youngsters in the clan. However, it is a test for three friends, Amit Srivastava (Amitabh Bachchan), Om Sharma (Anupam Kher) and Javed Siddiqui (Boman Irani) who set on a mission to fulfill their beloved late friend Bhupen’s (Danny Dengonzpa) last wish. One can easily sense fear in them as they gear up to take up a challenge that is not for the faint-hearted.

The trailer of the Sooraj Barjatya directorial might inspire you, but the movie will make you want to have an expedition of your own. Or maybe, Uunchai will leave you wanting a story just like that of four friends, left to be told.

Three friends take a trek to the Everest Base Camp. A simple trek turns out to be a personal, emotional, and spiritual journey as they battle their physical limitations and discover the true meaning of freedom.

Star Performances: 

Amitabh Bachchan plays the role of the writer of the best-selling books, Amit Srivastava. And, he is a dashing and handsome star. His performance in the movie, after Goodbye, is refreshing. Big B’s new character is a treat to watch.

Anupam Kher plays the role of an irritated book stall owner, Om Sharma, who is not interested in selling off his shop. Kher delivers a stunning performance as he plays his character well.

Boman Irani as Javed Siddiqui and Neena Gupta as Shabina Siddiqui leave you mesmerized by their onscreen chemistry. They are a treat to watch. Neena Gupta once again delivers a short yet entertaining performance. And, you will definitely love her.

Parineeti Chopra, who essays the character of a trek leader, Shraddha Gupta, perfectly fits into her role. She makes you believe she can guide you on a trek to the Everest Base Camp. Not kidding!

The performances of Sarika (Mala Trivedi), Danny Dengonzpa (Bhupen) and Nafisa Ali (Sumitra Shrivastava) add gravitas to what makes the amazing cast of Uunchai, unfaulty.

Screenplay: Sooraj Barjatya deserves applause for his near to perfect execution and visual spectacle of a film. After Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Barjatya comes back with a bang! And, Uunchai manages to bring him to the top spot once again. Be it the grandeur, the almost three-hour-long movie, or the songs; the filmmaker gives you a taste of good cinema and how! He shows how filmmaking is not lost and that Bollywood does make properly executed movies, with a simple yet heartwarming narrative, that has an almost three-hour long run time.

Drawbacks: A few ‘idhar udhar’ (here and there) makes Uunchai an average watch. At the beginning of the movie, I failed to find flaws. To be honest, my mind was even hanging between the rating I would want to give. However, by the interval, you start noticing the flaws. To elaborate further, although Neena Gupta was awesome, her character Shabina entertained me only as much as a few bouts of laughter. Eventually, the character sort of left me irritated. I was then put off instantly. Secondly, Amit and Om land in Mala’s room and suddenly discover her identity was not connecting. Lastly, Boman Irani doing a video call to Shabina from the Everest Base Camp, not from a Satellite phone, but via our general mobile service provider; quite fishy! I wonder how one could make a video call at such Uunchai when making a video call during mere travel is impossible in India.

Uunchai’s background music and songs bind the movie together. The powerful background keeps you engaged. What’s more interesting is, the background music changes with the different scenes and it’s intensity, rather than one score all throughout. Songs like Keti Ho, Haan Kar De, Savera are pleasing to the ear.

Conclusion I recommend one to watch this movie. Forgetting the minor flaws in Uunchai, the Sooraj Barjatya directorial is something you could buy a ticket for. Although the movie is rather long, if observed closely, you understand why every nook and detail was required to be explained or why the screenplay was in a certain way. Lastly, Barjatya and his team serve you ‘grandiosity’ at its best.

Uunchai Review: Amitabh, Anupam, Boman and Danny Win You Over With Their Moving Performances

​Uunchai movie review: The beauty of the film is that none of its pitfalls eventually matter. The movie wins you over with its innocence and simplicity.

Hindi cinema is obsessed with youth, and older characters are usually relegated to the background. We don’t see wrinkles and failing bodies often enough. Rarely have we seen Hindi cinema doing justice to veteran actors. It’s only in the past few years and especially after the OTT boom, many senior actors are back in the spotlight and are proving the fact that age and medium are no bar for talent. Occasionally a film like Uunchai will come along to remind us that there’s more to old people than just wrinkles and dentures.

In Uunchai, filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya brings a story about friendship, and hope and gives us a deep and heartfelt message on why we should live life by seizing the moment and following our hearts.

This film is literally all in its writing. This isn’t to suggest that the performers on screen, Sarika, Neena Gupta, Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani and Danny Denzongpa (in a cameo) and Parineeti Chopra don’t match up to the material. Oh, all of them do. They collectively shine, without a doubt.

Uunchai is the story of four friends, Amit (Amitabh Bachchan), Javed (Boman Irani), Bhupen (Danny Denzongpa), and Om (Anupam Kher). After Bhupen’s death, the other three decide to complete a trek to Mt Everest base camp, a treacherous climb as that’s the last wish of their late friend. Boys will be boys and this film catches that note beautifully.

You can be in your sixties, but a few minutes with your childhood friends takes you right back to being a teenager, playing the same old pranks. You have to love the natural way in which Bachchan’s character tries to convince Neena Gupta (Shabbo) to allow her husband (played by Irani) on a road trip to Kathmandu. The adventure even gets a bit complicated when Mala (Sarika) enters the equation.

During the journey, their outer shells are peeled off and their true lives are revealed to one another. Emerging stronger from the experience, they are prepared to live their lives moment by moment, taking pleasure in what they have rather than bothering over what they don’t.

Barjatya tries to keep the film breezy, yet high on emotions. The screenplay, by Abhishek Dixit, feels patchy at times. The conversations are laced with real humour as the dialogues are gentle. They won’t make you ROFL, instead bringing a smile to your face. Despite some unconvincing moments in the plot, Uunchai keeps the viewers involved all the way to the climax. The tempo drops considerably in the second half, especially Bachchan’s subplot which seems a bit forced and also increases the run time. At 2 hours and 49 minutes, the film could have easily been trimmed by at least 20 minutes. Admittedly, there are moments where the film does get preachy and you find yourself shifting in your seats, but the seasoned filmmaker ensures that the story doesn’t lose its charm.

What makes Uunchai that much more enjoyable are the performances. Amitabh Bachchan’s infectious energy sets the pitch. He is great in the quieter moments, and his chemistry with his co-stars is endearing. Anupam Kher delivers a measured, affecting performance, while Boman Irani brings an effortless, comfortable energy to his character. His timing, be it emotional or comic scenes, is impeccable. Neena Gupta compliments Irani’s light disposition and serenity with a measured delivery that highlights her poise and accessibility.

Danny Denzongpa is charming in his cameo and you will fall in love with his affable smile. Sarika, who returns to the big screen after a long hiatus, is a delight to watch. Parineeti Chopra holds her fort amongst the seasoned actors and does her job well.

The beauty of the film is that none of its pitfalls eventually matter. The movie wins you over with its innocence and simplicity. It is the effortless performances, coupled with their intoxicating screen presence that makes this movie worth watching.

Uunchai is uneven but heartfelt. Despite its flaws, the emotions connect. Getting to see some of the finest talents in Indian cinema together is enough to pull anyone to the theatre. And if you are game for a family drama with a message, Uunchai is a film for you. It has its heart in the right place, if not many other things.​

Uunchai Movie Review: Sooraj Barjatya With His USP Roadmap Brings A Smile On Your Face & That’s All That Matters Here

Uunchai is a movie made with a lot of heart and a whole lot of nostalgia involved..

Star Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Danny Denzongpa, Parineeti Chopra, Sarika, Neena Gupta, Nafisa Ali & ensemble.

Director: Sooraj Barjatya

What’s Good: It’s an USP Sooraj Barjatya movie where even he is trying to marinate his idea with modern ideology and create a tale about friendship that will connect across age groups.

What’s Bad: The general troops that the movie follows and the obsession of the filmmaker to only have beautiful people. Also, the runtime is a bit too much.

Loo Break: There is no point where you aren’t being entertained in this one, so you might want to wait for the interval.

Watch or Not?: For a return to the cinema of your childhood (if you are a 90s kid like me) and the vibe Barjatya endorses, there is no loss as such to invest in this one.

Language: Hindi

Available On: In Theatres Near You!

Runtime: 170 Minutes

4 friends all in their mid-seventies have been together for 50 long years. Their bond is eternal and beyond the label called friendship. One fine day, one of the four passes away suddenly and the rest are left with the deceased’s last wish. They decide to trek to Mount Everest Base Camp and unfold the tale of loss, love, and friendship.

Uunchai Movie Review: Script Analysis

Agree with it or not, Sooraj Barjatya is a brand in Hindi cinema. His fan base is spread across age groups and the core ones now are all adults and crave his cinema. The wide appeal of his films on television is proof enough. Over the years, man has taken over our subconscious in a way that many of us talk about Hindi cinema by referring to his characters. Even our antakshari game rounds begin with a song from his movie. You know the influence he has on us. So when he decides to bring together 7 of the most prolific and veteran names from the industry together in a movie about friendships and family values, he is here to take you on a nostalgia trip.

Uunchai, a movie that begins in the mountains takes you back to the days the reason behind this trek was unfolded. Written by Barjatya himself with Abhishek Dixit handling the screenplay, the movie is a classic Barjatya USP film that believes in simplistic storytelling. For a man who has based half his filmography replicating the Ramayana blueprint, understands the three-act structure in a way that he doesn’t like to break it. So even when he has 7 main characters, and 1 extended cameo (that too a well-known star), he doesn’t let the lines ever cross in a very intricate manner. He believes in telling all the stories one at a time and with ease that he possesses.

The fact that he makes the biggest of the stars and also acknowledges their age instantly reminds you that his cinema has aged with them. Anupam Kher, a constant in Sooraj Barjatya’s movies is the biggest of the reminders. The good thing is that the filmmaker also wants to cater to the newer audience while sticking to his morals and ethics. While there are songs after every heavy sequence, they are fresh and not the ones we have known him for. Or his constant nudge to the world of social media. But the latter point also turns a bit caricatured at a point. But his constant attention is on the friendship and the bonds.

While all of it is a breezy watch entertaining you all the time with some very stretched sequences leading to a very long run time, one cannot really ignore the problems. Women in the Barjatya universe only equipped men to trigger their stories and that very much continues here too. Of course, it comes to a point where Neena accepts she hasn’t given herself any attention, but that is too late. Also, why are everyone conventionally beautiful in this world and nobody belongs to the middle class? If you argue Boman and Kher’s characters are from the middle-class milieu, I am not buying that. The socio-economic structure is changing and that should reflect in films talking about real-time.

Also, the children-parent and parenting conflict are not to be just touched and left, Uunchai does that and kills a bit of the vibe.

Uunchai Movie Review: Star Performance

These are all the legendary names coming together to make a product with a filmmaker who is iconic in his own way. Amitabh Bachchan is only busy defying the notions around age and being himself. He brings the chirp and emotional core of the movie many times and it is so assuring to watch him do what he does at his age.

Anupam Kher still has his comic timing in place and nothing can be compared to how he used his body to bring out the humour. Boman Irani and his quirks are altogether a different animal and he even romances this time. Just too cute.

Talking of romance and cuteness, Neena Gupta is a breeze of fresh air in here as she is the only woman with (limited) agency. Every time she comes on the screen, you have to surrender and smile. Also, can anybody even touch the level of her enigmatic screen presence? Sarika in her second innings is doing a wonderful job and I hope she continues to for years now, because she still has it in her and we need to have that on screen more.

Parineeti Chopra in an extended cameo does a pretty decent job because she wakes up with crisp blow-dried hair and I can’t!

Uunchai Movie Review: Direction, Music

Sooraj Barjatya as a director finds beauty in culture and the love between a family. His need to diversify his characters is quite visible in his movies. Even Hum Saath Saath Hai, which was predominantly about one family included a Muslim couple. So he does that here too, but it does not really do anything to the entire storyline. But the filmmaker does know how to make the simplest of the movies and still keep audience entertained and hooked.

The man even tried his hand at the survival genre at a point and those 10 minutes or so are enough to tell you he can do that too.

Just the fact that the characters even after getting out of bed are prim and proper bothers because haven’t we already criticised television enough for it?

Amit Trivedi takes over the music and gives an album that will click with the audience. Particular Keti Ko, a celebratory song is fun and the way Barjatya picturizes is it incredible. It is like my childhood dancing in front of me because these are all the actors I have grown up watching. The background score gets very interesting in the second half and is good.

Uunchai Movie Review: The Last Word

Uunchai is a movie made with a lot of heart and a whole lot of nostalgia involved. Watch it with no expectations and with the thought that it is a filmmaker who wants to talk about love and its purity.

Uunchai Devesh Sharma, April 5, 2023

• Times Of India

critic's rating:  3.5/5 Bhupen (Danny Denzongpa), Amit (Amitabh Bachchan), Om (Anupam Kher), and Javed (Boman Irani) have been friends for close to fifty years. Bhupen, who was born in Nepal, has the dream of trekking to the Himalayas with his friends. Sadly, he passes away the next day after the friends have celebrated his birthday together. They want to honour his memory by trekking to the Everest Base Camp and scattering his ashes there. Along the way, they are joined by Mala (Sarika) whom they later come to know, also has a connection of sorts with Bhupen. The friends, along with Javed’s wife Shabina (Neena Gupta) undertake a road journey from Delhi to Kathmandu which further cements their bond. They also learn some home truths – the surprise visit to Javed’s and Shabina’s daughter’s home turns sour as they come at a point when her husband was throwing a surprise birthday party for his wife. Another detour, to Om’s ancestral home, too goes off the mark as he finds he is no longer welcome in the family he’d left 20 years ago. The alienation of the elders by their progeny, the disintegration of the joint family set up gets commented upon here. Though there’s some emotional turmoil present, the first half is full of comedic moments and goes past breezily. The second half is dedicated to the trek to the base camp. It’s shot like a documentary and we see the day-to-day activities of the group, led by Shraddha (Parineeti Chopra), chronicled in a dramatic way. The three friends are aged and out-of-shape. They suffer from different medical ailments as well. As a result they find the trek a tough going. Then, the journey is fraught with emotional issues as well. Walking gives them time to introspect and as they dwell on their lives, they start to find fissures. Prem is unhappy that his son wants to sell their old bookshop in lieu of a space in an upcoming mall, Javed is unhappy that he has to lie to his wife to come to the trek, while Amit, who is a celebrated writer of self-help books, finds he’s been serving up platitudes to his audience and needs to mend up his own relations with estranged wife Sumitra (Nafisa Ali). There are physical hazards as well. Some fall sick, some meet with accidents while some find the trek to be physically demanding. There’s an edge-of-the-seat moment shot on a rope bridge, where our travellers collide with a group of porters coming from the other side amidst bad weather, leading to minor injuries. Thanks to the brilliance of the actors involved, the bonding in the film feels genuine. We do feel we’re seeing a group of friends who know their quirks inside and out. The film is centred around Amitabh Bachchan, of course, but the other actors too get their moment in the sun. In the first half, he’s the jovial friend who takes lead in all things while in the latter half he portrays a man who realises the emptiness of his life and wants to mend fences with those he’s caused grief. It’s yet another command performance by the thespian. Boman Irani and Anupam Kher don’t indulge in their trademark screen mechanisms and come across as real men having real issues. Boman and Neena Gupta share a heartwarming bond as husband and wife and should do more films together as a screen couple. Sarika, seen after a long, long time, is a delight to watch. She’s a natural in front of the camera even now and so is Danny Denzongpa, who looks insanely youthful in the film. For once, he’s devoid of wigs and prosthetics and his dazzling smile does light up the screen. Parineeti too impresses in her brief role. The film is shot well by Manoj Kumar Khatoi. Whether it’s the car sequences or the trek across the hills, the camerawork provides an immersive experience. It’s a delight for the foodies, as it introduces us to yummy treats found on the way from Delhi to Kathmandu. It’s hard to believe that Director Sooraj Barjatya can make a film which doesn’t involve marriage. It’s brave of him to take senior actors and weave an ode to friendship around them. He tells a tale which unfolds at its own pace and will surely appeal to your heart.

Trailer : Uunchai

Renuka vyavahare, november 11, 2022, 8:51 pm ist.

Uunchai Story: Three best friends in their 70s — celebrated author Amit (Amitabh Bachchan), Javed (Boman Irani) and Om (Anupam Kher) — decide to embark on a trek to the Everest Base Camp to fulfil the wish of their late friend Bhupen (Danny Dengzongpa), whose heart belonged to the Himalayas. Uunchai Review: Uunchai is a welcome change from Rajshri banner whose films have mostly revolved around multigenerational joint families, class divide and good rich people. Simplicity has always been at the heart of each story, even as wealthy uncles slyly boasted of their successful karobar . Bhaiyya, bhabhi, devarji singing ABCDEFGHI in private buses, women dolling up for multiple ladies programs in palatial homes, was aspirational for the 90’s generation. However, life is not white or black and there’s more to grey characters and issues than snooty stepmoms and gold-digging outsiders. Uunchai starts off as a fun road trip movie, as the old friends (literally and figuratively) decide to achieve the impossible. Keeping their age related health issues at bay, they set out to fulfil their late friend’s only wish — to get to the Everest base camp together. While Bhupen is no more, the other three embark on this dangerous journey to celebrate his life and love for the mountains. Accompanying the three on the road trip without being aware of their big plan is Javed’s caring wife Shabina (Neena Gupta) and a surprise co-traveller Mala (Sarika). There’s no ‘bagwati’ here, but a warm Shabina bhabhi has shades of Kalki from Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara . Sunil Gandhi’s story and Abhishek Dixit’s screenplay have its teary-eyed moments but they are unable to maintain the momentum and zest all the way. The Delhi-Agra-Kanpur-Lucknow-Gorakhpur- Kathmandu journey is heartfelt and cathartic. The film’s best moments are limited to its first half alone. Parent-child, intergenerational discord is analysed rationally without viewing it from the Baghban lens. Food is used beautifully to establish places and culture. Sadly, once the trio reaches Kathmandu, the story loses grip, lacks direction, gets cluttered and things go downhill. The events don’t seem organic, personal backstories feel irrelevant to present day, and the mood gets too dramatic. The background score is overbearing and the scenes seem to drag endlessly. It’s the performances that keep you interested despite a messy latter half. Masters of their craft — Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Boman and Amitabh Bachchan are brilliant in their respective roles. It’s once again a testament to fine acting elevating a muddled script. Bachchan aces the shift in his character, from an Instagram-friendly successful author to a lonely old man battling Alzheimer’s, he is outstanding. Amit Trivedi’s music is decent but doesn’t do much to elevate the narrative. Parineeti Chopra plays trek guide Shradhha, who seems terribly indifferent to things around her. Her character isn’t finely sketched out. Life is too short to say ‘ phir kabhi ’ and friends can be family. Uunchai scales new heights in terms of storytelling and concept, but never quite reaches the top. The film is not solely about older people, and even with its flaws there’s a certain relatability to the characters and the story. We wish the writing was stronger and did more justice to the fabulous cast.

Uunchai movie review: This buddy-drama decides to sleep when it has promises to keep

Friendship was their only motivation,” reads the tagline of Uunchai, a story of three friends who trek to Everest Base Camp in honour of their deceased companion. Bollywood has, time and again, given us tales of doing the extreme for your fellow comrade. Be it helping the bride run from her marriage (3 Idiots), going for a bachelor trip even when you don’t find the third amigo funny (Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara) or shooting a defence minister (Rang De Basanti). The question is, is that friend worth it? And if yes, how does the audience know that?

Danny Denzongpa as Bhupen, whose death sets the film in motion, is still affable and charming even when he is not playing a bourgeoisie villain. He is obsessed with climbing Mount Everest because he told us. He is a great friend because his friends told us.

He wanted to have a just society because his lost love later tells us. A lot of telling and a bit of preaching happens during this Sooraj Barjatya film. As for Bhupen, you, and also his friends, only remember him dancing with a Nepali cap on. Thus, the central motivation of the film wobbles like a mountain bridge. But it’s still refreshing to see Barjatya break away from the grand family. In Uunchai, Amitabh Bachchan plays Amit Srivastava, a writer who is estranged from his wife; Anupam Kher is Om, who left his brothers in Gorakhpur to establish a books business in Delhi, and Boman Irani plays Javed, a lingerie salesman with a controlling spouse.

If this was the early nineties, this film would have been set in Om’s, now ramshackle, haveli, and the title would have represented a business family’s losing morals at the height of its success. Bless our stars, Uunchai is a buddy film. But it is still an uphill road less travelled for Barjatya and he manages to keep on track. He crosses all milestones of a road comedy: there is the initial reluctance to go on the trip, the uninvited traveller who has a past, and the jolly friend who is hiding a deadly disease.

The film at points feels like traditional Rajshri characters dealing with an evolving world. In a scene Anupam Kher’s Om, after being shunned by his elder brother, asks Amitabh, “Sab kuch badal kyun jata hain?” (Why does everything change?). In another sequence, Amitabh explains to Boman’s Javed and his wife Shabina (an alluring Neena Gupta), after their daughter doesn’t invite them for her birthday party, that sometimes they should also understand their children’s predicament. Although it’s a dated theme, Uunchai tries to bring the young and the elderly together, arms-over-shoulders, laughing and being merry with just a Hariharan song missing.

The hurdle, however, is the pacing. Barjatya spends too much time on the stopovers. The film starts from Delhi, crosses Kanpur, Agra, and Gorakhpur before reaching Kathmandu, and before the actual trek begins, we are into 80 per cent of the film. Uunchai then inflates its length to make up for lost time and resultantly becomes dreary.

It emphasises a point with its sentimental music long after it is made. The film goes on and on, like its main characters on trek, but doesn’t explore the thrill and the dangers of climbing Everest enough. You start hoping for the climax to come sooner and when it does, it is more relieving than cathartic. Uunchai’s runtime feels like a lifetime. But I guess, ye jeevan hain.

Uunchai Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Danny Danzongpa, Neena Gupta, Parineeti Chopra, and Sarika Thakur Director: Sooraj Barjatya Rating: 2.5/5

Uunchai Reviews

Every moment, every exchange, every line of dialogue feels like it was coughed up by the human equivalent of Bing, while being held prisoner in the Rajshri basement.

Full Review | Feb 23, 2023

Uunchai takes a simple and not-very-original concept (elderly people going on an adventure trip) and ruins it with a bloated run time of 173 minutes, very hokey scenarios, and mediocre acting. The movie is half over by the time they get to Mount Everest.

Full Review | Nov 21, 2022

Uphill in every which way...

Full Review | Nov 14, 2022

A basic trek through lofty themes...

The film is shot well by Manoj Kumar Khatoi. Whether it’s the car sequences or the trek across the hills, the camerawork provides an immersive experience.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 14, 2022

A bit fewer of several stretches towards the second half where the film meanders into more than one man-made crises, and this Uunchai would have been mission truly accomplished.

Uunchai spends an inordinate amount of time holding forth on ageing, transience, mortality and the urge for freedom...Not that these are not important themes to tackle, but the treatment that Uunchai reserves for them borders on the preachy and syrupy.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 14, 2022

From aerial to low angle to close-up shots, it's nothing short of magical and makes second half of Uunchai a perfect visual spectacle.

The film is not solely about older people, and even with its flaws there’s a certain relatability to the characters and the story.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 14, 2022

Uunchai is a call to the elderly to embrace life and accept change. Ironically, the film itself is stuck in time.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 14, 2022

Uunchai has a simple enough story that drags on for 169 minutes and 48 seconds on the sheer good will of its veteran cast.

Uunchai Movie

UUNCHAI is the story of a life-changing journey of three friends. Amit Shrivastava (Amitabh Bachchan) is a successful author, based in Delhi. He is separated from his wife Abhilasha (Nafisa Ali Sodhi) and the closest people in his life are his three friends – Javed (Boman Irani), Om Sharma (Anupam ...  Kher), and Bhupen (Danny Denzongpa). The quartet meets on Bhupen’s birthday and makes merry. Bhupen, who’s originally from Nepal, expresses the desire to head to Everest Base Camp along with Amit, Javed, and Om. The friends, however, reject the idea, citing their old age and health issues. Bhupen goes home after the party and passes away in his sleep. Even in the case of Bhupen, his friends are his only family and they handle the cremation and other rituals. While going through Bhupen’s study, Amit finds that the former has booked a tour package to the Everest Base Camp for his three friends. The tour is going to take place in two months. Meanwhile, Om is making plans to immerse Bhupen’s ashes in the river Ganga in Varanasi. Amit informs Om and Javed about Bhupen’s Everest plan. He persuades them to join him so that they can release his ashes at the Base Camp since it was Bhupen’s favourite place on Earth. Om and Javed agree after a lot of persuasion. But there’s a problem. Javed’s wife Shabana (Neena Gupta) will never allow her hubby to take such a risky trek. Hence, Amit comes up with a plan. He tells Shabana that the trio will go to Kathmandu, Nepal where they’ll immerse his ashes. As per the plan, they’ll go to Kathmandu by road since Om is scared of flights. Amit tells Shabana to join them. He tells her that they’ll drop her at Kanpur at her daughter Heeba (Sheen Dass) and son-in-law Valli (Abhishek Pathania)’s place. Once that’s done, the trio will then head to Gorakhpur where Om will meet his brothers, whom he hasn’t met in 30 years. The three friends and Shabana begin their trip. But sadly, Amit’s foolproof plan goes for a toss. What happens next forms the rest of the film.

Jerry Seinfeld made a movie about Pop-Tarts. Yes, the trailer is as goofy as you’d expect

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

Jerry Seinfeld and his all-star cast are “drunk on sugar-power” in the new trailer for “Unfrosted,” a film that chronicles Pop-Tarts’ origin story. That’s how the comedian described the film in a 2018 tweet when it was just a nebulous concept.

“Imagine the drunk on sugar-power Kellogg’s cereal culture of the mid-60’s in Battle Creek, MI,” Seinfeld tweeted. “That’s a vibe I could work with.”

Six years later, the trailer for the film was released Thursday, featuring a star-studded ensemble and Seinfeld’s signature lighthearted humor. The film marks the comedian and actor’s directorial debut.

Big interest in big business on movie screens this season

In 2023, a number of films about business were among the most entertaining, and accomplished, of the year.

Nov. 28, 2023

Seinfeld stars alongside Melissa McCarthy and Jim Gaffigan as Kellogg’s executives trying to compete with rival company Post Cereal’s new shelf-stable breakfast pastry, “Country Squares.” Amy Schumer and Max Greenfield work for Post and the camps compete to hit shelves first.

Hugh Grant, Christian Slater, Bill Burr, Daniel Levy, James Marsden, Jack McBrayer, Peter Dinklage and Fred Armisen round out the cast.

“It’s a huge cast. I don’t know how it got so big,” Seinfeld told Netflix ‘s Tudum . “I remember that we had nobody for a long time. And then Hugh Grant called and said he heard about the movie, and he wanted to be Tony the Tiger. Then, the next thing I knew, everybody was in it, and it was incredible.”

The trailer likens the pastry race between the companies to the space race, which was happening during the film’s setting in 1963. The opening of the trailer shows a dramatized close-up shot of a Pop-Tart shooting out of a toaster in a style similar to a spacecraft blasting off.

‘Seinfeld’ reunion? Jerry Seinfeld has a ‘secret’ that makes it seem prettay, prettay promising

During a recent stand-up comedy show, Jerry Seinfeld teased a potential ‘Seinfeld’ reunion, says there’s something that ‘hasn’t happened yet’ with the show.

Oct. 10, 2023

Seinfeld was a guest on “ The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon ” on Wednesday, where he said he and his writers drew stylistic inspiration from the historical drama “The Right Stuff.”

“Remember ‘The Right Stuff,’ which is U.S. versus Russia, who could put a man on the moon first? That is how we tell the story of the Pop-Tart,” Seinfeld said. “Who can make the Pop-Tart is the same as who can land on the moon first.”

Seinfeld, who co–wrote the film with his “Bee Movie” and “Seinfeld” collaborators Spike Feresten, Barry Marder and Andy Robin, also said Kellogg’s had “no idea” they were making the movie, and said that while the basis of the story is true, much of the film is “completely insane.”

“We took all their products, we took all their characters. Snap, Crackle and Pop are in the movie. Tony the Tiger is in the movie, Toucan Sam — we took everything. I didn’t know we had to ask.”

“There could be some serious legal exposure,” he continued. “But if I were to be hauled into court on Pop-Tart charges, that would make my life.”

“Unfrosted” will premiere May 3 on Netflix.
