To begin with, Siddharth Randeria is dynamite as Bipin. One also cannot help but admire the cinematic shots.įor instance, Bipin and Aditya are seated on a rock stuck inside a hill and the rotating camera-work that occurs during this sequence is par excellence.
The film encompasses Garhwali culture in a subtle and fabulous way. Vipul Mehta captures picturesque views and natural surroundings. Plus, it is advised that you keep tissues with you as you WILL need it! There are so many relevant and philosophical dialogues which compel us to enjoy life and forget all our sadness/miseries.Ī memorable and poignant line is: “Life teaches us ‘sa re ga ma’ (musical notes) and us humans live life as ‘Sare gam’ (all the sadness)”. I cannot help but admire the amazing writing. It is so refreshing to see that such lines are not condescending towards the LGBTQ+ community for the sake of ‘comedy’.Īs such, the humour itself is so natural and comes across organically. The speech is also quite progressive… One such humorous dialogue is about homosexuality where Ketki asks Aditya where he is “Aadmi Hoon, Aadmi Se Pyaar Karta Hoon?” There are tongue-in-cheek dialogues which in turn mock these stereotypes and it is quite satirical.
It (the film) showcases that there is a lot more to Gujarati culture than just plain ‘dandiya’ and ‘garba’ per se. Given that this is the first Gujarati road-trip film, this is one venture which breaks all other cultural stereotypes. Breaks Stereotypes Regarding Gujarati Culture There are an Aditya and Bipin that resides in all of us and after watching the movie, we will want to just embrace our fathers and spend more time with them.
This can be said about Chaal Jeevi Laiye as the movie’s concept is one which all of us can resonate with, regardless of what language we speak. In fact, other films have already broken glass ceilings of being in the Gujarati language.įor example, Wrong Side Raju is one movie that united regional and mainstream styles together due to rich content and people like Anurag Kashyap coming on board. However, the most brilliant aspect of Chaal Jeevi Laiye is that it is not solely restricted to that platform a regional movie.
Moreover, the story itself is quite unique.ĭespite it being a self-discovery story in the backdrop of a father-son relationship, it is one which strikes a chord with the audience. Though there is a strong Hindi cinema feel to the film, which makes it very easier for the general Indian audience to enjoy and relate to it. Rises Above Being Just ‘Regional Cinema’Īs a Bollywood enthusiast, I feel the movie has a very strong Rajkumar Hirani feel to the film and the banter/dynamic between the parent and child reminds me of 102 Not Out/ Piku and I mean this in a good way. The journey turns out to be an experience with surprises and realisations of their way to happiness and closeness. In his quest to become a successful entrepreneur, Aditya Parikh (Yash Soni) puts life on the back burner, including his father Bipin Chandra Parikh (Siddharth Randeria) who has been diagnosed with pontine glioma.Īditya agrees to take his father to Uttarakhand to fulfil his last wishes where they accidentally meet a backpacker named Ketki Mehta (Aarohi Patel). Chaal Jeevi Laiye is a 2019 Gujarati language comedy-drama road film written and directed by Vipul Mehta.
