‘Uunchai’ released in the theaters on November 11 this year and had a pretty good response; it was not a superhit but did a great job compared to many big budget Bollywood movies. It has a nice rating on platforms like IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes and the word-of-mouth of the audience had worked out well for the movie.
The film starred Amitabh Bachchan, Danny Denzongpa, Boman Irani and Anupam Kher in the lead roles and had actors like Parineeti Chopra and Neena Gupta as supporting actors. The performances of all the actors were commendable. The music of the film was composed by Amit Trivedi and George Joseph and all the songs were nicely written and sung.
