Mukti Bhawan (2016) - 102 min

Country: India
Director: Shubhashish Bhutiani
Cast: Adil Hussain, Lalit Behl, Geetanjali Kulkarni, Palomi Ghosh & Navnindra Behl.
77-year-old patriarch Dayanand Kumar believes his time has home and wants to spend his last days at Mukti Bhawan in Varanasi as his father did. His son Rajiv decides to take his father on his last journey.
Mukti Bhawan is a real hotel situated in Varanasi where people check-in to attain moksha. They can stay there for two weeks and if they don't die within two weeks they need to vacate from the hotel. Shubhashish Bhutiani is a gifted filmmaker for sure and does a script like this at the age of 25 is truly amazing. The main theme of the film is the awareness of one’s mortality. Turns out it's a father-son story filled with some beautiful conversations. Bhutiani chooses to tell the story through the eyes of Rajiv, played by Adil Hussain. Talking about Hussain's performance, he leaves an unforgettable mark as a beloved son and his combination scenes with Lalit Behl were the best you could ever get from this kind of films. Overall, Mukti Bhawan falls into the category of films that stick to you for a long period of time with good memories and a must-watch.
Verdict: Great
