Mast Mein Rehne Ka Review: Neena Gupta And Jackie Shroff Do A Fabulous Job Of Powering The Film

Mast Mein Rehne Ka Review: A gentle little film that conveys home truths about survival in a megapolis that never stops for anybody, least of all for those who have outlived their utility or have fallen by the wayside. Mast Mein Rehne Ka Review: A gentle little film that conveys home truths about survival in a megapolis that never stops for anybody, least of all for those who have outlived their utility or have fallen by the wayside. A competently written comedy about two elderly people who forge an unlikely friendship after their houses are burgled by an out-of-work tailor, Mast Mein Rehne Ka is a gentle little film that conveys home truths about survival in a megapolis that never stops for anybody, least of all for those who have outlived their utility or have fallen by the wayside. Mumbai certainly does not stop for the two ageing protagonists. They are in the autumn of their lives but they respond differently to the pitfalls that plague them in their advancing years. The man, played with great conviction by Jackie Shroff, has succumbed to a monotonous routine that has sapped all his energy. The woman, brought to life with gusto by Neena Gupta, is full of beans despite the fact that she too has been sold her share of lemons by life.

On a parallel narrative track, a younger pair languish at the bottom of the urban heap. At both ends of the spectrum, Mast Mein Rehne Ka is about a relationship that affirms the human urge – and ability – to find connections against all odds and across obstacles.
