102 NOT OUT

Based on a Gujarati play of the same
name, the highly-anticipated fi lm
102 Not Out stars Amitabh Bachchan
as Dattatraya Vakharia, a 102-year-old
man who is determined to break the
record for the oldest living person in
the world by putting Babulal Vakharia,
his 75-year-old son, played by Rishi
Kapoor, in an old age home. The
unconventional family comedy appears
to highlight the concept of old age very
diff erently, as it promises a lot of fun
and laughter with quirky characters and
a unique plotline.
