You’re in for a affable surprise if you intend to watch the Amitabh Bachchan- Rashmika Mandana- Neena Gupta starrer Goodbye. A little over 2 hours long, the film is suitable to capture the tumultuous relationship participated by members of a family that comes to the fore after the unfortunate death of the mama .
Amitabh Bachchan plays a miscarrying father who isn’t patriarchal in anyway but is spooked by the neglectfulness of the family members when they arrive for the burial. Rashmika Mandana as a counsel who questions the domestic workings after the death of her mama makes a promising debut in Hindi cinema. Pavail Gulati and Sahil Mehta play Bachchan’s sons. While Gulati’s character finds it delicate to navigate his professional and particular life in the wake of his mama ’s death, Mehta comes across as an biddable son chancing it hard to come to terms with what has happed.
Also there’s Neena Gupta, who noway stopped being a star. She’s a scene stealer. She plays the mama who passionately encourages her children to aim advanced in life and not give up on their dreams. She’s also the person who’s suitable to bring out the loving and easy- going side to Bachchan’s character. Unfortunately, with her demise, he transitions into a dimmed individual alarmed of being alone for the rest of his life.
Bachchan is brilliant as a father hysterical to open up to his children about his fear. Alone in a big house, he imagines a breathless actuality after the burial when his children return back to their normal life. The fact that they feel to be casual about it infuriates him further.
There’s also a gem by Sunil Grover. Grover has a fascinating presence. His appearance is smooth and flown naturally with the story. The jotting deserves a citation then as well. By investing dry humour into a sad scheme of effects, the followership isn’t allowed to turn away their attention.
Abhishekh Khan’s presence towards the end of the film is poignant as well. Ashish Vidyarthi plays Bachchan’s friend who stands by him through thick and thin. He is, of course, a seasoned actor who’s suitable to hold his own in every scene he makes an appearance in.Vikas Bahl asks numerous questions in his rearmost film. It’s hard to find loose ends in his film and indeed if it exists it proves to be inconsequential, unfit to hinder the film’s strong points.
