I have two boys one aged 15 and the other 10 and like me they too love watching good content but the task is always to find the right content which is 10+ yet good enough for a 44 and 15 to digest as well.
And Friday Night Plan a.k.a FNP ticks true for all the age group in my home.
Movie does not take any additional time building the character. From scene one you are with the character and gradually it unfolds the character with its strengths and weaknesses. It’s like the script was written by someone absolutely sane and real and who have lived the ‘teenage’ moment and remembers so fresh and is in synch with the current teenage fads as well.
There is enough masti and no it is not telling you to do this nor that. It is simply the story of 2 boys. Siddharth Menon played by Babil Khan and Adi Menon played by Amrith Jayan.
Each character played its part and did justice to what was asked of them. The story starts and ends typically in a 24 – 48 hours. Juhi Chawla etched the role of a responsible, over worked but doting and alert mother brilliantly. There was a brief moment when a cop gets involved and I feared the first that it would turn around to be yet another Shaiitan or Fugly but it DOESN’T. Let’s just say everyone did what was asked of them and did it with ease.
Music by my favourite band ‘When Chai met Toast.’ Keep it light.
Overall, a beautiful film showing you how fun and responsibility and stupidness and intelligence can all go together. Infact each friend compliments each other with their positives.
I often came to Netflix to watch Series as I think they have what I like the most. But now I believe their movies are getting better as well. Thank you for catering to audience like me whose taste is varies depending on who I sit down to watch with. And ofcourse thank you Ritesh and Farhan. You do have an eye for the script. And thank you Vatsal Neelakantan for your perfect script and direction.
