A proudly successful businessman, blessed with copious luxuries,
named Kamal (Anil Kapoor) and his hapless-yet-supportive wife (Shefali Shah)
wear a Happily Married mask in the social circle. Their daughter Ayesha (Priyanka
Chopra) bears the fortune of her father in business and plight of her mother at
home. Their son, Kabir (Ranveer Singh) despite giving his tries is now convinced
that he is not born for the business but for the plane that the business has
brought in. Ayesha despite making it to the Forbes’ list doesn’t seem to effuse
the powering aura of a businesswoman in her personal life. She succumbs to do
the balancing act between herself and both her alienating family before freeing
herself eventually. Anushka wears a micro version of Katrina’s role in ZNMD of
a pseudo life coach with clarity in life.
The movie is narrated from the point
of view of a dog, narrated by Aamir Khan. Beyond a point it feels like Aamir taking
up a family episode in Satyamev Jayate with the same repetitive,
already-highlighted insights. However, the movie belongs to the entire cast.
Ranvir and Priyanka make an effortlessly amazing pair of siblings and Anil and
Shefali nail it to their roles like none other could. The impact from Farhan is
seen more through his unconventional dialogue writing than through his
character. The songs are no match to the zappy numbers of ZNMD. Pardon some
off-the-track, stretched parts of the movie in regard to the refreshing shots
of one-liners that you will often be gifted with.
