Waqt: The Race Against Time Synopsis

Waqt is the story of a father and a son between whom there is a special bond. Unlike many other father son relationships, these two are more like friends; the father being Ishwar Sharawat and his son Aditya .Ishwar is the owner of a toy manufacturing company and is extremely generous and big hearted making sure to spread as much as joy to kids as he can, and that is why he makes sure that during the festive season of Diwali he distributes toys to the orphans. On the surface Ishwar's life seems like something every man would crave for; a great and profitable business, a loving son and a caring and dutiful wife Sumitra or so it seems. Aditya is in love with Mitali and vice-versa who is the daughter of Nathu. However after the initial problems that occur, the two of them finally end up getting married. Ishwar hopes that marriage will make Aditya a more responsible man but he is disappointed. His efforts to turn Aditya into a more responsible individual turn futile. One thing leads to another and Ishwar doesn't have an option but to throw Aditya out of the house. Aditya is shocked that the same doting father is now behaving in this fashion towards him and his now pregnant wife. After the initial problems, Aditya takes it upon himself to take care of his wife and his unborn kid. Aditya starts working as freelance stuntman and at the same time prepares for a star search contest. Aditya starts turning into an independent man but the rift in the relationship between him and his father grows. In the climax of the film Aditya has been chosen to participate in the finals of the star search contest and this is where all the reasons of the father's cruel behavior are exposed and this forms the end of the story when the father and son get back together.

Ishwar Chandra Thakur never had it so good in his life before. He has a faithful and loving wife in Sumitra, who he affectionately calls Sumi; and a good rapport with his only child, a son named Aditya, who he affectionately calls Adi, and a servant named Laxman, who is not exactly the brightest star on the horizon. So what if Adi has failed his matriculation exams, so what if Adi is unable to secure any job; so what if Adi has no skills whatsoever to land any job; so what if Adi is lazy and a slacker; so what if Adi marries his critic's daughter, Pooja,; so what if Adi wants to be dependent on him all his life; so what if Adi is about to become a dad....but wait a minute. Why would he let Adi & his children depend on him? Didn't he himself start his life with a mere Rs.35/-, didn't he work as a mailman and toy salesman? These thoughts overwhelm both Sumi and Ishwar, and they ask Adi to get out of their house and live in the servants' outhouse, which they do so. But again, Adi reaches a state of vegetation, without making any effort to find any employment, and it is then Ishwar asks him to pay rent of Rs.1500/ and a Electricity deposit of Rs.5000/- or else even this shelter will be taken away from him. With Pooja pregnant and expecting a baby shortly, Adi will really have to come to terms or be out on the streets, living on the footpath - with no future prospects whatsoever for him, Pooja, or his newborn child. But without any skills or education, what possibly can Adi do to earn money? And what is the real reason why his dad threw him out of the family home?

Waqt: The Race Against Time Preview

After acting together in director Vipul Shah's debut flick Aankhen, Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar team together to play the father-son duo in Shah's next film, a family drama titled Waqt - A Race Against Time.

The movie stars Priyanka Chopra as Akshay's love interest and wife. Vipul Shah's wife Shefali Shah is paired with Bachchan in the film.

The film explores father-son relationship from a new perspective. Ishwar Sharawat (Amitabh Bachchan) is less like a father and more like a friend to his son Aditya (Akshay Kumar). Ishwar is a business tycoon and wants his happy-go-lucky son to become a responsible individual.

Aditya, on the other hand, is a frivolous character who takes everything easy in life and shuns responsibilities. He is in love with Mitali (Priyanka Chopra), daughter of Nathu (Boman Irani). After some initial fallouts, Aditya and Mitali marry with the blessing of their parents.

Ishwar, who had expected his son to become a responsible man after marriage, is disappointed to see no change in Aditya. In a desperate measure, he expels his son from his house. Aditya and his pregnant wife are now left to fend for themselves.

As water gets to his neck, Aditya takes up a job as a stuntman and at the same time prepares for a star search contest. His hard work and preparation pays back and he is chosen to participate in the finals of the star search contest.

As he stands on the verge of writing his own destiny, Aditya comes to know about the real reasons why his once-doting father shut the doors to his house to him.
