'Umar' packs in some gags
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,January 25 2006]
If you are wondering that Karan Razdan's 'Umar' starring Prem Chopra, Kader Khan and Satish Kaushik in the lead roles is a serious look at the issues faced by senior citizens, then wait as there is much more to see in the movie.
'Umar' has some real gags incorporated as a part of the script that bring with them numerous lighter moments. An example to state is one of those key sequences in the movie when the three veterans are sitting in a park and they suddenly get all delighted and cheerful. Reason? There is a search notice issued on their names in the newspapers stating them as "WANTED"!
One may wonder what is so thrilling about that? Well, as Satish Kaushik rightly point outs that "till date we were never in demand and no one 'wanted' them in their lives. At least now, at this age, someone somewhere really thought of them to be 'important' enough to be 'wanted' across the city!"
Some real good sense of humor here!
