102 NOT OUT MOVIE REVIEW:

The unique perception of ‘102 Not Out’ is its asset. Appreciatively here the story spins around the bond amongst two people aged 102 and 75. The narrative never gets too complex, the story is told from the perspective of just the three main characters – Dattatraya, (Amitabh Bachchan), the 102-year-old father, Babu (Rishi Kapoor), the 75 year old son and Dhiru (Jimit Trivedi), their man friday. The film features several locations from Mumbai, but most of it plays out within the walls of the Vakharias’ house. Director Umesh Shukla’s film turns its limitations into its strong point. It does not depart into thrilling scenes or make our jaws drop with surprising screw; it never tries to be senselessly clever. so, it manages to give the viewers, the best of what it has to offer.

The highlight of this film are the performances by Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor. Both these brilliant actors have, over the course of their long and illustrious careers, proved that they have flawless witty timing. Rishi Kapoor plays the grumpy old man with indifference. It’s great to see such contrasts come together and warm the cockles of your heart. While Amitabh Bachchan plays the loveable centenarian, with the zest of a 20-year-old, with flawless precision. Together, their chemistry and repartee makes for an entertaining experience.
