Uunchai Movie Review


Friendship has no leaps and bounds and it is such a beautiful bond that lasts not just for a lifetime but also crosses all age barriers. This is what the movie is all about. 
It is a story of four friends Omi (Anupam Kher), Javed (Boman Irani), Amit (Amitabh Bachchan) and Bhupen (Danny Denzongpa) from different walks of life. Bhupen has a lifetime dream of trekking and climbing the Base Camp of Mount Everest along with his friends. One fine day tragedy happens due to the sudden death of Bhupen. Will his friends be able to achieve Bhupen's dream? What other challenges and obstacles will come in their way in achieving this feat?

It is a simple and heartwarming story of friendship and human relationships set up in modern times. Director Sooraj Barjatya handles the emotions very well, as one has seen in his previous blockbusters.  

It is also about determination and self-belief which is inspirational in itself. Dialogues are good. Music by Amit Trivedi is nice and melodious with wonderful lyrics by Irshad Kamil. Beautiful scenes of Mount Everest have also been well-shot. 



Top-notch performances by the lead cast of Boman Irani, Amitabh Bacchan, Anupam Kher and Neena Gupta set the tone and make the movie a winner. Danny Denzongpa in a cameo leaves a mark. Parineeti Chopra and Sarika Hassan are good in their brief performances. 

With a good message, this is a must watch for all age groups.
