You would even question the basic novelty of the plot terming it illogical- Would a father even resort to such an action inviting troubles just to be able to talk to his son? In fact the half hearted presentation makes you feel that the story is boring.
The story works, the screenplay just doesn’t. There’s so much that the makers want to say- through visual images, symbolisms, finding meaning in absurdity, and even through a take on modern love- but the screenplay here is the weak link. It’s a tale of father-son relationship gotten complex when the father puts the situations in an absurd complexity. Vivek Anchalia’s story is straight forward and linear.
It’s almost like shifting base to an enstranged location.
The value of one’s home and that the young boy is upset because he’s made to shift within the city gives you an idea of how vast Delhi and its cultures are. As simple and one liner thing as it may sound, it pretty much conveys the essence of the film as a whole. There’s a dialogue in the very beginning of the film- ‘ Mera beta naaraz hai ki use main Nayi Dilli ka ghar chhodkar Puraani Dilli le ja raha hun‘.
