The Story: A doctor
couple loses their only son to gun violence in the U.S and forfeits all reasons
to carry on living, till they meet members of Club 60! A beautifully woven tale of real life
characters where “old” people find a reason to forget their personal grief and
loss and enjoy every bit of their lives.

My Review: Debutant director Sanjay Tripathy’s poignant
story about how people’s expectations are often misplaced somewhere down the
road and the house so carefully build with dreams and hopes come crashing down.
The protagonist and his spouse, played by Farooque Sheikh and Sarika, were
amazing in their performances .Their grief was so real, especially the balcony
scene where Sarika tells her husband that she too has lost a son and her pain was
equally intense. Her acting was so natural and the whole scene was on single
take (new comers should learn from her how to emote naturally and not be over
dramatic)! I couldn’t help drool over Sarika’s kurtis and sarees throughout the
movie, they were so exquisite.
Why I liked the movie was it was non-judgemental and didn’t
give sermons on morals on “Indian Values”, which irritates me a lot in most Bollywood
films. It also had a very positive note throughout.
What spoils the movie’s smooth story-telling was its length
and one song too many. I feel Raghubir Yadav was a misfit in his role as a Gujarati
Mumbaikar as his accent would sometimes switch to a rustic U.P village bum.
But overall it was an emotional journey I undertook with the
characters. Watch it for some fine acting, crisp storytelling and great
direction. These are movie for which we love the celluloid.
