In keeping with its pledge to provide meaningful content, the platform will present the touching story of friendship with “Uunchai.”
Hyderabad: “Uunchai” had its thrilling global digital debut on ZEE5 to kick off the New Year. In keeping with its pledge to provide meaningful content, the platform will present the endearing story of friendship with “Uunchai.”
Sooraj R. Barjatya returns to directing with “Uunchai,” produced by Rajshri Productions in collaboration with Mahaveer Jain Films and Boundless Media, and follows up 2015’s “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.”
Amit (Amitabh Bachchan), Javed (Boman Irani), and Om (Anupam Kher) are three elderly friends who resolve to walk to the Everest Base Camp to fulfil the request of their late buddy Bhupen (Danny Dengzongpa), whose heart belonged in the Himalayas. The voyage is chronicled in “Uunchai.”
Shabina (Neena Gupta), the spouse of Javed, Mala (Sarika), Bhupen’s long-lost love, and Shraddha (Parineeti Chopra), their tour guide, accompany them on the walk. As they overcome their physical constraints and find freedom, a seemingly straightforward trip to the Everest Base Camp becomes a personal, emotional, and spiritual experience.
With an IMDB rating of 7.7, “Uunchai” earned positive reviews at the box office and quickly struck a chord with viewers thanks to both the plot and the acting performances.
The movie captured the hearts of viewers of all ages because to an emotionally charged narrative and excellent performances by all of the characters. And now, with its WDP on ZEE5, the movie will be accessible to ZEE5 fans in 190+ countries starting on January 6.
“Uunchai” is the culmination of seven years of passion, effort, and, most importantly, love, according to director-producer Sooraj R. Barjatya, and comes after a successful run at the box office. I urge everyone of our followers to start 2023 with this film, which is a poignant testament to friendship, since it will be available to stream on ZEE5 as of January 6. “Uunchai” is certain to make viewers laugh and weep in equal measure as well as pull at their heartstrings as it takes them through a range of emotions.
