Compared to the Bollywood standards Shararat is a bit different. It doesn’t glamorize romance so much and focuses more on other aspects of life too.
It
shows the transition of a pampered teenager Rahul into a mature and understanding man after he is remanded to live in an old age home.
The film takes you into the lives of old men and women living in the Home. Gurudev Bhalla, film’s director, shows both the humor and the sadness that fills their lives. And he shows how this effects Rahul’s mind.
At first Rahul is an odd-man-out in the Home. He is a sullen young man cursing his luck. But soon he begins to see deeper sides of the lives of people in the home.
Abhishek Bachchan just about manages to essay his role believably. His repertory of facial expressions is limited and there are moments in the films when he has a bland face to the camera.
Commendable acting performances come from the film’s senior cast – Amrish Puri, AK Hangal, Helen and Tinu Anand.
