The TVI Take

Three estranged friends in their thirties embark on a Spanish road trip, La Tomatina, deep-sea diving, running of the bulls, chosen by each in turn as a confrontation with their personal fears. Zoya Akhtar's film treats male friendship as a subject for sustained adult attention, with Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, and Abhay Deol each carrying interior arcs about commitment, art, and grief.

The Javed Akhtar poetry interludes do real narrative work rather than functioning as decoration.
