102 Not Out live updates: Directed by Umesh Shukla, 102 Not Out stars Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor, Mukesh Hariawala and Jimit Trivedi
Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor starrer 102 Not Out has hit the screens. Audiences can’t wait to see Amitabh and Rishi don the unusual roles of the elderly father-son duo. Based on a play written by Saumya Joshi and helmed by Oh My God director Umesh Shukla, 102 Not Out also stars actors Mukesh Hariawala and Jimit Trivedi.
Talking to indianexpress.com about 102 Not Out, director Umesh Shukla said, “Just like the subject of Oh My God! was very universal, I felt that the story of 102 Not Out was also very universal. It is almost like a love story between a father and his son. I found the idea that a 102-year-old father would be willing to send his son to an old age home because he is too boring, very unique. The character of 102 is so vital in the sense that he still wants to live life to the fullest. You know, the idea that age is just a number.”
Highlights
In a conversation with PTI, Amitabh Bachchan said, "Getting together after a gap of 27 years with Rishi ji, was just like getting off a bicycle and getting on it again. The inside stories would take a lifetime to narrate. Suffice to say they were all very pleasant and joyous."
Film trade analyst Girish Johar predicted the opening figures for Omerta to land up somewhere between the Rs 75 lakhs to Rs 1 crore mark. He also added, “Though previously Rajkummar Rao and Hansal Mehta have delivered a number of critically acclaimed films like Shahid, CityLights among others, their films still caters to a very niche kind of audience. Hence, even though the buzz around the film is high, Omerta is expected to do well only in tier-one cities as it will have a very restricted audience.”

It's a very sweet charming film. We've grown watching them together in many films earlier. It was absolutely wonderful to see them together again and they both were fabulous.

102 Not Out is a very different film. Very interesting and two great actors here are performing at their best.

I love the film. The kind of relationship and the bond between Amitabh sir and Rishiji in the film is amazing. It's a very well written film. After so long, you have a family film jis mein aapko kaafi relationship ke baare mein, ek father-son waali relationship ke baare mein usko relish karne ka ek film mein entertaining aur thoda sa emotional way mein dikhaya jaa raha hai. I am in love with the film. Umesh Shukla sir ka bahut bada fan hu. It's an amazing film.

I have just been so lucky and blessed to work with both of them first of all. So this film was definitely in my must watch list. Of course, it will leave you in tears and joy when you leave the theatres. I am just so so proud of myself that I got to work with them and so lucky that I got to see the both of them on screen like I couldn't see Amar Akbar Anthony but at least I could see this film in theatre and I'm just happy about that. I think that you should not miss this opportunity, just do a favor and watch it on the 4th of May.
