Is he an adult? Is that child? He is your father. In his first director venture, Boman Irani was seen as a deep, seen a deeper from an urban Indian family, because he finds a simple answer to the difficult question. The tension between father and son is never out of fashion in creative space, but the expression often bends towards one generation or another. Boman and co-writer Alexander Dinlar (K) Birdman Fame) This tender exploration of a dental relationship leads to rope that leaves an impressive effect. Rich in detail, redistribution with sadness, and pepard with meaningful motifs, the film causes a raw nerve. The pair generates a dialogue without losing the vision of the plot, without obtaining erudition between two generations.

An attractive, emerging architect who struggled to find his voice in the boardroom, Ama (Avinash Tiwari) returns home after his mother’s sudden demise to see his unhappy father Shiva (Boman) Wilt. However, battling the loss, Shiva does not want to cry his son’s shoulder. Amay either does not offer it. Like most Indian families, both share a silent relationship that appears stressful from outside. His sister Ana (Shikha Sarp) is a link connecting both. She wants to take her father to America. But is the father ready to make emotional changes? She bribes her with her favorite food, but looks through Shiva design.

In the title, ‘Boys’ probably come from the point of view of two self-confident girls in the film, looking for a method, an argument in the relationship. It remains unheard, but gaze shows that they see father and son as a waste of time and energy like boys. They have well meanings, but do not really feel the purpose of the pointed figure of this delicate bond.

Circumstances forces Shiva to spend two days with Amay and face fault lines. The septuagenian boy refuses to help. He treats Ami as if he is running his life with a learner’s license. In a practical scene, Shiva talks to a mason that I examine Ama’s understanding of architecture. No wonder that America feels that his ‘fruitless’ father makes fun of his work and lifestyle, does not feel that he is an incomplete project that requires some tampering.

Production designs add to camera movements and background score mood. It is an automobile, Holi color, or zoom lens voice, Boman uses innumerable motifs to make worldly magical. She is also a sign of magical realism, among the red sari or white vanny who keeps the loved ones alive … among the ordinance of grief. In addition, Boman and Dinelaris cleverly associated comment on contemporary Indian architecture with barbes that father and son throw on each other. Glass and steel do not always meet Indian climate demands. We need to keep the heat out of the heat and keep the relationship open to keep the ties open. Even when the situation is estimated, the conversation invests us.

The best thing is that Boman and Avinash look like father and son. The complex architecture of Avinash’s close-up invites you to the mental labyrinth of Amay. While Avinash specializes to reduce the emotional upheaval of his characters, Boman pronounces the tone and tanner of the Parsi father in his trademark style. They are inhabited at this place first. He packs his comic trops in the suitcase, but allows them to be shown from the side in a good way.

Shikha uses her experience in Sarup theater to make the normal sister shiny. Shreya Chaudhary is skilled as a shocked sounding board for a boy who does not behave in the way he expects, and Siddharth Basu has cleverly lended the class to discuss the written boardroom.

In the bid to boil the pot, the story falls into a pattern after a point. Lessons threaten to become declammatory, the airport’s condoms reduce a plot device, and the second half has moments where Boman’s performance almost turns into a dramatic field. Eventually, however, loose threads come together, making it a textured experience.
