102 Not Out is a 2018 Indian Hindi-language comedy drama film directed by Umesh Shukla and written by Saumya Joshi. The film has the two legends Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor in lead roles who play father-son duo for the first time. It also stars Jimit Trivedi in a supporting role. The story revolves around Dattatraya Vakharia (Bachchan), a 102-year-old jovial person who tries to reform his 75-year-old unenthusiastic son Babulal Vakharia (Kapoor).

Plot

Babulal Vakharia (Rishi Kapoor) is a 75-year-old unenthusiastic widower who believes that he is too aged and fragile to enjoy life. His 102-year-old father Dattatraya Vakharia (Amitabh Bachchan) is his stark opposite who enjoys life in his jovial ways as his mental age is just 26. Dhirubhai Srivastava (Jimit Trivedi), also known as Dhiru, is an employee working at the nearby medical store who delivers medicines to the Vakharias. Dhiru likes Dattatraya due to his lively attitude but is scared of Babulal due to his grumpy nature. Meanwhile, Dattatraya aims to break the record of the longest-living Chinese person on Earth, who lived up till 118 years of age. He seeks to get rid of all the negative and boring elements surrounding him to accomplish his goal. Hence, he threatens to send his son to an old age home as that will be more convenient for Babulal too. After Babulal protests, Dattatraya allows him to stay at home only if he completes some tasks.

Firstly, Babulal writes a love letter to his deceased wife Chandrika, in which, he expresses dismay as she had once got into an argument with his deceased mother Saraswati but never with his father. Secondly, he stops visiting his doctor's clinic for a daily checkup, instead of accusing the doctor of theft as per Dattatraya's advice. According to the third task, Dattatraya asks Babulal to cut holes in his childhood blanket which he and Saraswati had bought for him in Kashmir; Babulal instantly rejects his proposal.

Later, Dhiru takes Babulal to a playground which reminds him of his childhood memories. He is subsequently taken to a church, which reminds Babulal of the memories he had spent with his estranged son Amol Vakharia (Dharmendra Gohil), who lives in the US. He becomes sorrowed and buys a cake from a city bakery, distributing it to young children on the streets. Babulal even completes the third task by cutting holes in the blanket and begins to appreciate his father's outlook on life, much to Dattatraya's delight.

Few months later, things start to take a turn when Amol tries to call up Babulal repeatedly but Dattatraya cleverly disconnects his phone calls, not wanting Amol to communicate with his son. However, Babulal learns about Dattatraya's interruption and calls Amol who informs him that he will be soon visiting India. Dattatraya gives Babulal his last task which is to kick Amol out of their house once he will arrive in India, for all his negligence towards his family. He is aware that Amol's motive of visiting them after several years is to claim their property as their heir. Not wanting to behave rudely with his son, Babulal gets furious at Dattatraya and stops talking to him.

While trying to convince Babulal, Dattatraya reveals to Dhiru that Babulal had spent all his savings to send Amol abroad for his studies. However, Amol ignored him by telling him nothing about his new life over there, getting married, and settling in the US. He even discloses that after Amol's settlement in America, Chandrika suffered from Alzheimer's disease in her last days and unfortunately, the only thing she remembered till her death was Amol. Babulal still chides Dattatraya for his advices against Amol and begs him not to interfere between them both. Dhiru also supports Babulal for the first time, thinking that Amol should be given a second chance.

However, Dattatraya reveals to Babulal and Dhiru that few months ago, he underwent a medical checkup and learnt that he has brain tumor and realised that he would not remain for long. This provoked him to cook up the story of his goal and the old age home for Babulal, in order to make Babulal get rid of his grumpy and unenthusiastic approach towards life. Babulal understands Dattatraya's pain and decides to fulfill his last wish for his happiness.

Eventually, Amol arrives in India and meets Babulal at the airport gate. Over there, Babulal confronts Amol over his pursuit of something apart from his teachings. He even berates him over how his negligence towards the family caused his mother's death. Handing over Amol's childhood savings, Babulal humiliates Amol in public and orders him to leave, delighting Dattatraya and Dhiru. Dattatraya then expresses his last wish before Babulal, that he should whistle loudly the moment he breathes his last. Babulal then takes Dattatraya for an outing from his wheelchair and the two happily dance in the rain.

One month later, Babulal and Dhiru are shown sitting by the sea in the happy memories of the recently deceased Dattatraya. Over there, Dhiru presents Babulal a recording of Dattatraya who predicts in it that the record of the longest living person will be broken by Babulal himself.

Makeup

The make-up for Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor is done by makeup and prosthetic artist Preetisheel Singh. Considering the fact that both the actors have to play their characters that are more than their actual age, a lot of prosthetics and makeup were used to make them look like their respective character's age.[3] Bollywood Hungama echoes, "The review would be incomplete without the mention of Preetisheel Singh's makeup, hair and prosthetic. She gives a great look to both the veteran actors which also turns out to be the film's USP."[4]
