In the government quarters of Lodi Colony, New Delhi lives the Kaushik family: Railway TC Jeetendra; his dutiful wife, Priyamvada; his physically ailing but feisty mother; and the two sons – a teenage Gular, and Nakul, who is dating his upper-class office colleague Renee. News breaks out that the mother is pregnant, which comes like a shock to the entire family. To top it, they also have to deal with the social embarrassment – friends, relatives, neighbours, everyone’s gaze is now turned towards the Kaushik household.What follows is a phase of resentment and emotional confusion for Nakul as he also goes through ups-and-downs in his relationship. Torn between public embarrassment and love for his family, especially his mother, he tries to come to terms with the idea of his parents’ active sex life and the idea of family itself.

Great film, iconic Neena Gupta
What a fantastic movie this is!An older couple discover that they are expecting a baby and their adult children are none too pleased about it.Neena Gupta has always been a trailblazing actress who has lived her life on her own terms. For that, I've always had the utmost admiration for her. But I'd forgotten what a superb actress she is. I hope this film shows other filmmakers that they need to cast her in important roles! Such talent cannot go unutilised.As the mother who finds herself pregnant later in life, she is magnificent. If you are not moved by her, you have no heart.Gajraj Rao as her husband gives a fantastic performance. You can't fail to love him.Ayushmann Khurrana never gives a bad performance. He has a knack for choosing exceptional, standout projects.Surekha Sikri almost steals the entire film as the cantankerous grandmother whose story arc is perhaps the most moving and rewarding.For me though, this film is all about Neena Gupta. Come on, directors, we can't miss out on her talent. Let's see more of her!5 out of 5. And then some. As soon as it finished, I wanted to see it again.

Great film
What a film! A simple story line can effect so much, we couldn't realize without seeing this film. The director and all the actors made it so special. It shows the bonding between relations such a nice way. I highly recommend this film.

Excellent funny movie
Fab film. We saw in in Jodhpur without subtitles and although we don’t speak Hindi we understood the story. Bought this so we could understand the long speeches
