Review of SARDAR KA GRANDSON |
This much-awaited Netflix movie SARDAR KA GRANDSON has bagged mixed reviews. The story is about a young Sikh boy and his grandmother. It starts with Amreek Singh played by Arjun Kapoor, who is a goofy, happy go lucky kind of guy doing odd jobs for a company run by his girlfriend Radha, portrayed by Rakul Preet, in Los Angeles. They squabble, and Amreek returns to motherland. The movie then is pretty much set in and around Amritsar and occasionally drifting inside neighbouring Pakistan. Amreek`s grandmother, who everybody fondly calls `Sardar`, essayed by the versatile Neena Gupta, is a 90-year-old loud and boisterous industrialist. She has been a victim of the India-Pakistan partition and wants to see the house she built with her husband in Lahore for one last time. The problem is that the Pakistan government has blacklisted her for an angry outburst at a cricket match in Mohali. Now, this is where Bollywood beats Hollywood! Amreek takes it upon himself to bring the same house from Pakistan to Amritsar for grandma Sardar! Director Kaashvie Nair puts together a unique comedy-drama plot in `Sardar Ka Grandson,` and the audacious uprooting a house and then re-planting it in Amritsar. Seems the actors couldn`t fulfil the demands of the plot. Neena Gupta and Arjun Kapoor are seen trying to pull the show, but can`t carry it all by themselves.
