Alvida…

Its not the goodbyes that hurt, its the flashbacks that fol-
low.

Despite a scattershot narrative, tonal inconsistency

and poorly sketched characters, Goodbye gives a
solid measure of the inchoate, aching and often
rage-filled feelings that constitute bereavement.

Gayatri
(Neena
Gupta) dies
suddenly and unexpectedly for her husband Harish
(Amitabh Bachchan) and her four adult children.
Each of them reacts in different ways and different
ways to deal with grief.

The Chandigarh-based version of the British com-

edy Death at a Funeral attempts to graft black hu-
mour onto the very serious business of mourning.
The scenes shot with Amitabh Bachchan grieving in
his bedroom is set in a monotonous, dull, pastel colour scheme giving the vibes of grief and
sadness at the same time. These scenes depict the destress of the actor. In one scene the ac-
tor is seen petting his dog who is also sad over the loss of Gayatri (Nina Gupta).

The movie has a very different approach towards depiction the fact that everyone has a dif-
ferent way to approach or handle sorrow. In his willingness to create conflict with real peo-
ple, he even adds humor to the script. Most of them are situational. But he also realizes that
his motivation is to make people cry, so he doesn't spend much time inducing cremation ei-
ther. Because even with a few mistakes, the emptiness we all fear will pierce and shatter our
hearts. Even a lifeless Nina Gupta lying on a block of ice is enough to make you sad and
brings the most warmth when the story turns to flashback. The idea of how to mourn and
who decides is fairly well researched. A father who
loses his anger and gets angry with those around
him, a son who makes him realize that he's not
the only one who lost someone, a daughter who's
different from her father, and now has to follow
a conditioned ritual in order. for my mother to be
saved. Everything ends at home. No movie is as
perfect as Queen of Baal. This is another exam-
ple of how well he handles emotions. As the fa-
ther of this faction, he must be strong. Especially
the two scenes where he prepares for a funeral
with no room for mourning and another where he
finally gets a moment to speak to his wife's ashes broke all my heart. The actor doesn't take
his status for granted and makes us feel all the emotions he orchestrates. His dilemma, anxi-
ety, anger, love, whatever. She is the epitome of all good things in life and is so sweet that I
can't imagine someone like her lying on fire. fulfills her dream of becoming a heroine wor-
thy of eternity.
Rashmika Mandanna shows some serious acting, but it's a tough situation as she shares most
of her screen time with Bachchan. The actor cries convincingly, and you fall in love with
Tara because the biggest conflict is happening
around her. With a lot of responsibility, the actor is
pretty well on his way. Full credit to the creator for
dubbing her own lines. But her family is Punjabi,
and that accent gets a little annoying every time
someone points out that Tara is her biological child
and not adopted. Everyone else including Pavail
Gulati, Sahil Mehta, Elli Avram, Ashish Vidyarthi
and Abhishekh Khan play their respective roles
with conviction and conviction. Sunil Grover im-
pressed with his cameo appearance. Think of him as
Vikas Bahl accurately conveying what his films are
about without preaching too much. The idea works because he makes it so smooth and per-
sonal.He says we are just a story and it works well.
