A heartfelt funeral dramedy with poignant premise, sketchy execution

While you wish there was more of Neena Gupta in the film, she makes the most of her endearing part. This territory isn�t new to Amitabh Bachchan, but in his 80th year, he once again reinforces the fact that a good actor can elevate a script. Despite his massive aura and stardom, he never forgets that this is essentially an ensemble film, giving enough room for others to flourish. His portrayal of sorrow and loneliness is heart-breaking. Rashmika Mandanna in her debut Hindi film struggles with the accent as she sounds too south for a Punjabi role but gets the essence of her character right. Pavail Gulati, Ashish Vidyarthi and Elli AvrRam have their moments as well. Goodbye is a story of a family coping with grief and laughing through their pain. Keep the tissues handy before watching this one.(more)

Despite the performances GOODBYE suffers from a weak second half and depressive tone.

GOODBYE works due to the touching moments, relatability factor, and performances. However, the film suffers due to the bizarre developments, weak second half, and depressive tone. At the box office, it will turn out to be an average fare.(more)

Amitabh Bachchan, Rashmika Mandanna in a more preachy than poignant film

Riding on a melancholic Bachchan, the film does look up in the second half when the endearing Sunil Grover as the laptop-wielding priest talks about the deeper meanings of life and death and how memories become stories that keep nurturing us, but the two can�t salvage the film from the inherent shallowness of writing and treatment.(more)
