Alive and kicking!
Films like '102 Not Out' are best enjoyed with the family. The ease with which the film portrays the bittersweet relationship between its characters is fantastic. Such films are like soft serve ice cream on a sparkly Sunday afternoon. They make you happy. There are parts in the film where emotions run high, but it's never too overbearing. It's just a happy and healthy entertainer that tells you that living in the moment and making the most of everyday of your life is all that matters. And age of course, as they say, is just a number.(more)

Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor's film is a blast from the past
102 Not Out's heart is firmly in the right place. The film knows its territory and the emotions it wants to evoke. It's just that a few important characters don't get enough play and they are sacrificed to make space to Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor.(more)

This Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor-starrer is loud, repetitive but endearing
Shukla creates an intimate world in which the obvious tropes do pop up. The pitch is often too loud for film and, with the staging of some scenes, the goings-on occasionally feel more suitable for the theatre than for the big screen.(more)

Rishi Kapoor steals the show
Every single gesture is overdone and extra boisterous like Bachchan's inflated exuberance and screaming prosthetics, reminiscent of the 1970s when he'd masquerade as a grey-haired old man playing to the gallery. It was phony, but so much fun. This one's more 102 and not quite.(more)

102 NOT OUT is a complete family entertainer with strong emotions as its trump card.
The film is just 102 minutes long and hence, no time is wasted. The film comes right on track after the quick introduction and it's hilarious to see Dattatraya trying to get his son admitted into an old age home. The sequence where he reads Babulal's love letter raises lots of laughs. From here, the film slips a bit as the direction is a bit disjointed. But the film picks up slightly with the church sequence as a new angle is introduced at this point. Post-interval, this angle gets a lot of prominence and that's where the film gets emotional. The sequence where Dattatraya narrates a terrible ordeal from their lives is heart-wrenching but also one of the best sequences of the film. The climax is clap worthy and also puts a smile on one's face. But in this process, the humour that one would expect after watching the funny promos of the film, might feel a bit let down as the second half is very serious, with very few laughs.(more)
