They have a son called Aditya Thakur (Akshay Kumar) who does not have any interest in responsibility or what he wants to do in life. It gets even worse when he elopes with his girlfriend (Pooja, played by Priyanka Chopra), the daughter of Natu (Boman Irani). When Pooja gets pregnant, both Ishwar and Sumitra decide to make Aditya realize his responsibilities, as he will have to take care of his wife and child. Both take drastic measures and even chuck Aditya out the house along with Pooja. The farce becomes so bad that Aditya begins to hate his father and they do not speak to each other for a long time. At the same time Aditya becomes aware of his role in life. However, Ishwar has done all this for a reason and is hiding something from Aditya. Ishwar is trying to ...

After the superb AANKHEN(2002) which was a remake of a Gujarati play he comes with WAQT which too looks like a stage play
In stage plays, we have characters shouting, overacting here too the same
The first half shows Amitabh almost kidding the 40+ Akshay Kumar who acts too funny like a small nerd
The film has a good message how not to spoil your son but sadly the way Amitabh wants to make Akki responsible is absolutely fake
Even his reason for hiding his sickness, his runnign from the hospital and the melodramatic speech by Akki is a put off
Some emotions do touch you but most are too over the top
Rajpal's comedy is hilarious but too stretched in second half
Direction by Vipul Shah is too overdone though some scenes are good Music is okay
Amongst actors Amitabh overdoes it in the first half but is superb in emotional scenes Akshay Kumar too does his part well but looks umcomfortable in some too weepy scenes His chemistry with Bachchan is matchless Rajpal is a highlight, he makes you laugh without overacting and just his presence and his dumb behaviour and deadpan humour he is a riot Boman is good in some comic parts but too loud at places Priyanka is the heroine so nothing to do, this is her last film with Akki so far Shefali is awesome though she looks too young for Bachchan
