The Mehta Boys movie review: The movie makrs Boman Irani's directorial debut.
The spiky narration betwixt a father-and-son, which shapes the communicative successful ‘The Mehta Boys’, leads america to foretell a solution successful which things volition get better. The taxable has that acquainted predictive tilt built into it, but what lifts ‘The Mehta Boys’ are the small spurts of unpredictability built into the publication of Boman Irani’s directorial debut.
That, and the performances, which are each transportation perfect.
You cognize that Boman Irani volition inhabit Shiv Mehta without a grade of separation, the actor’s suavity giving mode to his aged character’s slightly-bent-shoulders, mostly-lost-after-the-death-of-his-wife situation. No astonishment there, due to the fact that Irani’s irascible, eccentric Parsi gent is an amalgam of the galore Shivs he, and we, whitethorn person encountered: this is his territory, and helium revels successful it.
The inferior Mehta boy, Amay (Avinash Tiwary) lives successful Mumbai, and has been trying to hack it arsenic an designer nether the benign but demanding oculus of the proprietor of the steadfast (Siddharth Basu). As the lad who near location but hasn’t inactive recovered his feet, either astatine his workplace oregon successful his ramshackle flat, Tiwary is, arsenic always, precise good.

Co-worker-cum-girlfriend Zara (Shreya Chaudhry) displays the substance of affection and exasperation astute women follow erstwhile faced with a antheral who volition not, oregon cannot, bash the happening helium needs to, to get wherever helium wants to. Shiv’s US-based girl Anu (Puja Sarup), understandably wary of the tensions betwixt her begetter and brother, shows up concisely lone to depart, leaving the 2 men to their devices. Can they fake it till they marque it?
These pushes and pulls travel to the fore arsenic the tale, written by Irani and Alexander Dinelaris, progresses. While the penning is connected point, things get constricted successful a fewer places, making the movie suffer a spot of its fluidity. You privation those scenes had been fixed much breathing time. At a important point, Mehta Sr looks retired from the balcony of Mehta Jr’s flat, shaking his caput astatine each the ‘glass and steel’, and you cognize that the operation volition travel up for aerial erstwhile the latter’s grasp and scope yet meet.
But those are insignificant niggles. In each the duds that Bollywood is serving up these days, ‘The Mehta Boys’, which looks astatine daddy issues with knowing and empathy, and the things that marque relationships tick, and stick, is good worthy your time.
