In The Mehta Boys, we see Boman Irani play a man who is typing his will just days after losing his wife. He is about to leave the home he has known for a long time. When his daughter begs him to wait until they are “home,” he shouts, “This is home!” His voice breaks, and you can feel his pain. This movie really lets us see how talented Boman Irani is.
The Mehta Boys is not just about that great performance, though. It tells a touching and simple story that feels real. It reminds you of the classic films of Hindi cinema. The film follows a young architect in Mumbai, played by Avinash Tiwary, who is balancing his dreams and his relationship with a woman named Shreya Chaudhry. After his mother dies, he has to deal with his father, who he doesn’t get along with. The father-son duo is forced to spend a few days together, and through these moments, they both learn and change.
Boman Irani is the heart of this film. He embodies his character so well that you forget he’s a famous actor. He shows his feelings just through his eyes—whether he’s happy, sad, or angry. Avinash Tiwary plays his son perfectly, bringing out many sides of his character. He is not just good or bad; he’s a person trying to find his way.
The female characters are also strong. Puja Sarup and Shreya Chaudhry understand these men’s struggles and allow them to figure things out on their own. Puja has a standout moment that makes her my favorite character this year. Shreya shows that her talent from Bandish Bandits was real, bringing confidence and depth to her role.
What makes The Mehta Boys special is how subtle it is. The story uses little details, like car handbrakes and bill payments, to show the differences between father and son. These small scenes make the film a joy to watch.
The movie also has beautiful cinematography and music, bringing the city of Mumbai to life in a way few films do.
In short, The Mehta Boys proves that a good story with great acting makes for a fantastic film. It’s a must-watch for anyone who misses real and relatable Hindi cinema. You can stream it now on Niftystat.
