This is a cranky Hindi film-meant as a compliment. Unusual, in many ways.
Usually heroes try to pass of as youngsters. Here, a 70 year old plays a 102 year-old, and a 60 year-old plays a 75 year-old.
There are no women in the cast, except for a brief appearance by one or two.
The format of the film is like a mad game, with some method in the madness.
The length of the film is just right.
So many pluses. There are minor negatives like predictability in parts, but overall a good way to pass two hours, and watch Rishi and Amitabh in very different roles.
