Critic Review

Fans were eagerly awaiting the return of Irrfan Khan. Apparently, Irfan had been waiting for his fans since the time he started shooting for the film after being cured of a deadly disease like cancer. There is no doubt that Irfan gave his fans more than expected in this film and once again proved why he is called the able and effortless actor of this era.

The story is that of Champak Bansal (Irrfan Khan), a settler in Udaipur who runs a sweet shop as the grandson of the well-known Ghasitaram Mithaiwale. After the death of his wife, his world revolves around his daughter Tarika (Radhika Madan). The daughter has a childhood dream to go to London.

Along with raising the daughter and running a sweet shop, she also has to fight name and property litigation in court along with her other Ghasitaram brothers. In these cases, his cousin brother Gopi (Deepak Dobriyal) remains the hero of his brother. Tariqa prepares to become a college topper to fulfill her dream of going to London with a graduate.

Finally comes the day when Tarika gets an opportunity to go to London for further studies. Champak Tariqa, who is an affectionately affectionate father to his daughter, walks with him to make his dreams a reality. Gopi also supports him in this journey, but after reaching London, the situation becomes something that Champak and Gopi had not even thought about.

In Irrfan Khan’s Hindi Medium, which came before the English medium, director Saket Chaudhary touched on the relevant subject of language-divided society, here director Homi Adajania went a few steps ahead with the charm of overseas through Young Generation as well as father- They are also seen investigating the daughter’s relationship.

The first half of the film is very entertaining and gripping, but the story starts to drag in the second half. Many tracks and characters are entered after the intermission. The climax is a bit dramatic, which is already guessed. But Homi’s quality is that despite the comic element, he kept the film from being loud. He has woven the small-town mentality, colloquialism, and attire beautifully with the characters. The music of Sachin-Jigar and Tanishq Bagchi is average.

As long as Irfan stays on screen, he keeps you captivated by his body language, amazing comic timing, his Udaipur accent, and emotional scenes. His acting delivery is so amazing that you do not realize that he must have shot this film while recovering from a disease like cancer. Some of his scenes as a father turn his eyes moist.

Radhika Madan as a daughter has complemented Irfan in every way. The role of Radhika, a rebel, innocent, dreamer, and father-loving, has many layers, she has played it honestly. His chemistry as a father-daughter is very well established, while Deepak Dobriyal as a brother has introduced a strong jugalbandi with Irrfan.

Through his character, he makes a lot of fun. Kareena comes to the screen as soon as she comes from her strong screen presence, but she is wasted in two scenes. Pankaj Tripathi is remembered in small roles. Dimple Kapadia, Tilottama Shom, Ranvir Shorey, Kiku Sharda, etc. in supporting roles have played their part in a fun way.
