Meanwhile, the state government of Gujarat announces a scheme for citizens over 80 years. According to the Govt scheme, every elderly people over 80 years will get one lakh a month. This was really good news for her elder son but the moment her younger son Gulab (Shekhar Shukla) came to know about this scheme, he tried to take her at his own home with the intensions of getting one lakh a month. The conflict increases between these two brothers who wanted to keep her with their own home. But twist comes in her story when her childhood boyfriend comes in her life and proposes to marry even in this age too. This was really an eye-opening situation in front of everyone in the family. Climax is the real crux of the story. So, to know what happens at the end, one must watch it.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
Senior actress Neela Mulherkar is the heart and soul of the film. Her performance is outstanding, and she beautifully wins the heart of the audience. Actors Tiku Talsania and Shekhar Shukla are another attraction of the film. The onscreen chemistry of Malhar Thakar and Vyoma Nandi is simply awesome. Apart from them, other artists like Vandana Pathak, Aryan Prajapati, Utkarsh Majumdar, and Shilpa Thakar have also done justice to their parts.
The charisma of Manish Saini's direction can be easily seen in this film. He has tried to create humour in almost every scene. He beautifully managed to showcase how humans become so selfish for money even if it's a matter of his/her very own family member.
Although music does not play any major role in this comedy-drama, still the music by Night Song Records is quite impressive.
Overall, this is one of the finest comedy dramas of the year. If you are really a comedy movie lover, then you must not miss it.

Tiku Talsania recalls when a producer sat at Kader Khan's feet and said, ‘Main footpath pe aa jaunga'

Veteran actor Kader Khan , remembered for his razor-sharp dialogues and unforgettable screen presence, continues to live in the memories of his co-stars and fans. In a recent interview, actor Tiku Talsania opened up about a touching yet humorous incident from the sets of 'Umar 55 Ki Dil Bachpan Ka'. His recollection once again highlighted why Kader Khan was considered one of the finest minds in Hindi cinema. A producer's desperate plea In an interview with Friday Talkies, Tiku Talsania shared that during the shoot of the film, a producer once approached Kader Khan with folded hands and literally sat near his feet, begging him to finish his dubbing. 'The producer told him, 'Sir, please complete my film, otherwise main footpath pe aa jaunga (I'll end up on the streets),'' Talsania recalled. For Tiku, the scene was both emotional and awkward. But with Kader Khan's trademark wit, he turned the moment into something unforgettable. Kader Khan's witty reply Instead of being overwhelmed, Kader Khan quickly responded with a punch line that perfectly summed up his sharp humor. He quipped that the producer is so cunning that he would even sell the footpath if needed. This left everyone around stunned and laughing.

Hit films, strong content: D-Town aces first half of 2025

All The Best Pandya While there were apprehensions at the beginning of the year about how the Gujarati film industry will fare at a time when it's not easy to draw audiences to theatres, the first half of 2025 has certainly calmed everyone's nerves. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to distributors and industry insiders, this has been one of the best years for D-Town in recent times. Film distributor Vandan Shah says, 'It has been a very good first half for Gujarati cinema. Films like Umbarro and All the Best Pandya have done exceptionally well. Also, Jai Mata Ji Let's Rock was a hit. Even movies like Mom Tane Nai Samjay and Jija Sala Jija have done good business.' Says another distributor, 'Umbarro, All the Best Pandya and Jai Mata Ji Let's Rock have been the biggest winners at the box office. It's also heartening to see films like Bhram, Faati Ne? and Jija Sala Jija , which were not big-budget projects, have done well too.' Jai Mata Ji Let's Rock 'It is clear that audiences are eager to watch Gujarati films' Filmmakers say that they feel encouraged with the audience response this year. Rahul Bhole, co-director of All the Best Pandya, says, 'It has been one of our best films in terms of box office performance and the huge success of this film and Umbarro makes it clear that audiences are eager to watch Gujarati films. In a year when even Bollywood has struggled, except for huge hits like Chhaava, it gives us hope. Even films like Bhram, which had a slow start, later did well due to positive word-of-mouth publicity. Already, this has been one of the best years for the industry.' Sonaalee Lele Desai, who played the lead role in Bhram and was also a part of Mithada Maheman, which has done well too, agrees, 'Post pandemic, thriller has been a popular genre but Bhram had a slow start at the box office. But Sunday onwards, the film started doing really well not just in Gujarat, but in Mumbai too. It shows that if you have a good story, audiences are willing to invest in Gujarati films.' Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'Films belonging to different genres found their own audience' Industry experts are glad that films belonging to different genres have worked, which means audiences are giving a thumbs up to experimentation. Abhishek, director of Umbarro, says, 'While making a film, you can never predict the box office numbers. However, we were confident about our film and right from the beginning, the intent was to tell an entertaining story that will make audiences laugh as well as cry. We wanted to make a film that would appeal to all age groups. ' He adds, 'Be it our film, Faati Ne?, Bhram or the other movies that have done well, films belonging to different genres found their own audience. Having such a dedicated audience for Gujarati films means a lot to us. It's wonderful to see that films that are very different from each other found their own audience. At least six-seven Gujarati films have done really well at the box office in the first six months of 2025. It proves there is a dedicated audience for good Gujarati films, which is a huge thing for us.
