Story :

Shivkar Talpade (Ayushmann Khurrana) became homeless as his zamindar father threw him out after his challenges with his father went futile. Then scientist Shastri (a glassy-eyed Mithun Chakraborty), who is well-known as a mad scientist in the city provides him the asylum on the condition that Shivi help him in his secret project -- constructing a hawai jahaaz.

Shastri, lives up to his reputation more by way of his appearance -- dirty salt and pepper hair peering out of his round hat, haggard clothes, and a thick pair of spectacles held together.

The rest of the film’s plot strolls at a head-spinning rate and in the second half the movie dozes into the romantic track between the leads, which is supposed to concentrate on the actual theme.

Analysis :

The movie is haphazard a half-baked treatment. It has a little substance that happens in the three-long hours. Unlike the title, the movie hasn’t aired high.

Performance :

Pallavi Sharda, as the dancer Sitara Devi (what an original name for a show girl in 19thcentury India!), seen rubbing shoulders with the male lead in a totally irrelevant romantic subplot. But that's not to say she cannot act.

Ayushmann shows flashes of sincerity with his performance. To watch a kid of his age, deliver a performance with such rare flair, is an absolute delight.

Naman Jain, in the role of Talpade’s nephew Narayan, is an absolute show-stealer.

Final Word: A must watch for children.
