Wonderful movie. i'm so glad that people are writing roles for mr bachchan that really suit him. This is a very simple story told with a very witty style. I was grinning throughout this movie and laughing loudly at some scenes - which i never normally do.
Nothing is overlooked here, even though it is a comedy, its very honest and tackles all the potential problems in this relationship between an old man and a young lady - its surprising that it still manages to be so funny. This new little girl is absolutely amazing and deserves to be recognised for her brilliant delivery, she delivers some of the wisest and funniest lines in the movie - without sounding cutey... she provides a grim alternative to normal kiddy roles.
A great indian movie that we can proudly showcase to the world.
What I liked about the movie:
The little girl and amitabhs scenes together - especially her irreverent tone of voice. Amitabhs mum and himself - and how irreverent he is to her - great parallel.
What I didn't like about the movie:
some references to sex were probably not necessary - nothing sleazy happens but sex is mentioned many times unnecessarily. Even the little girls name is Sexy - not needed.
Would you recommend this movie to your friend: Yes
