Ratings and reviews

I do love Robert Downey Jr’s films, but this one is my second favorite movie after Iron Man 3. Even Robert Duvial acted with his heart. I loved the scene, where the son cares of his father, fighting with Cancer. It’s really good. Please do see this movie, as it is REALLY GOOD AND HEART-REACHING.

Loved the scene where son takes care of his dad n cleans him of all the poop n vomit as dad fights cancers. How many sons dares to care for their aging moms n dads in India!? And er boast of our traditional values. Modern India is a nowhere people. Most of us have moral foundation left.

No doubt casting, acting, plot etc. Everything is good but story line deducted 1 star
