Boman Irani’s directorial debut, The Mehta Boys, has been receiving widespread praise from both audiences and critics alike. It has managed to strike a chord with everyone for its heartfelt theme. Apart from critics, even members of the industry have been coming forward to appreciate the film. Earlier, several renowned names applauded it, and now, adding to the buzz, legendary actor Amol Palekar has also shared his admiration for The Mehta Boys.
Amol Palekar remarked, “Good things are being made. Speaking of Hindi films, I recently watched a beautiful film made by Boman Irani, The Mehta Boys! Such a lovely film, very simple. The kind of films that were made in the past, this film is exactly in that style. Boman Irani has made such a heartwarming film, and people are really liking it. I feel that we sometimes fall short in what we offer to the audience. We fail to give them variety, which is why we assume that only one type of film works, a factory churn-out kind of film.”
Hearing such sincere praise from a legend only reinforces how The Mehta Boys has resonated with audiences through its simplicity and emotional depth. In an era dominated by commercial films, Boman Irani’s directorial debut feels like a refreshing change—genuine, heartfelt, and deeply relatable.The Mehta Boys stars Boman Irani, Avinash Tiwari, and Shreya Chaudhary, and is co-written by Boman Irani and Oscar-winning writer Alex Dinelaris. It is produced by Irani Movietone and Chalkboard Entertainment.
