Based on true events with a fictionalised take, the film begins as the story of an underdog striving to become successful. But thereafter, it goes on a different tangent to bring in student life and college rivalry, love story, heartbreak, reuniting and achieving goals. The screenplay lacks a consistent narrative, and the subplots are stitched together without any sequence. The film also touches upon the bias against dentists, and the BDS vs MBBS trope. To establish Ajay (Romil Chaudhary) as a decorated dentist, he is only shown handling one critical case, which wins him an arrogant doctor's respect. The film has many such wafer-thin and simplistic tracks, including Ajay's enmity with the college.

Unlike his earlier family dramas mounted on a large scale with a backdrop of a family wedding or a love story, Barjatya's Uunchai is refreshingly different and breathtakingly beautiful. It opens with a group of three friends -- Amit (Bachchan), Om (Kher) and Javed (Irani) along with Mala (Sarika) who are on a trek to reach the EBC (Everest base Camp) led by tour guide Shraddha Gupta (Parineeti Chopra). Soon after, we are shown a flashback from two months ago about how they landed here and what unfolds thereafter. Back in Delhi, we are told, this trio celebrated their close friend Bhupen's (Danny Denzongpa) birthday, and the next morning his demise leaves them shattered. To.
