Uunchai

Though the premise of 4 old friends setting out on Everest Base Camp at a very old age appears flimsy, the film portrays emotions and feelings most of us have. I have seen a few reviews as 'preachy' - but I sincerely feel it is what you and I would say if such situations arise. I really liked that the film is devoid of much of Bollywood formula. The only thing that can distance the film from majority is that it is set in a very affluent lifestyle. Could have been a more middle-class or 'upper middle-class' setting.

Boman Irani, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Amitabh Bachchan, Sarika, Danny Denzongpa breeze through their roles. Parineeti cast as your guide appears a bit contrived. A normal Sherpa would have been apt with Parineeti as a trekker.

Overall a good watch!
