I'm surprised that so many people like it and that it got a rating higher than 4 or 5. The entire movie just ticked me off so much. I know in Bollywood movies your not really supposed to look for anything meaningful other than entertainment, but this was like some bizarre social commentary gone completely wrong.
This movie was nothing but farcical at best.

i disagree i thought that this movie was so great. i mean it's true what they say, how ironic is it that their biological kids wouldn't look after them properly and yet the adopted son did. in indian culture it's "supposed" to be the kids who look after the adults ; but how many times does that actually happen. i'm not saying they had too, but if they didn't want to they could have made better arrangements than spliting them up and not even feeding them. it was heartbreaking, i felt so bad for them. i don't didn't agree how they were all sons however, i think the adopted child should have been a daughter, since in indian culture the reason for having sons is to get them to look after them when their older, implying that women can't look after parents properly. but the way this movie was done i loved it. think about how many times elders get abused, and not only in india, but all around the world. i think this movie depicts what happens in real life more realistically than some movies which show physicall abuse. this is an abuse as well.
shareI don't think the movie is horrible. Yes at times it's over dramatic and some scenes are too clichéd but the story is good.
I totally agree with the above poster that if the kids didn't want the parents living with them they could have made better arrangements rather than splitting them.
