 Plot

 It has an easy to follow plot where a wealthy publisher dies, his son is shocked to find out that the family business has been left to the trusted lawyer. The lawyer must divide the wealth equally among the family members, but only if they can fix their long-standing issues within eight hours. If they fail, the company will be sold, and the money will go to charity. As the family deals with this surprise, secrets and conflicts come out, putting their love and trust to the test.

Star Performance

All actors have acted well enough throughout, but there seem to be parts where there has been overacting for the roles.

Analysis

Film has a cliched plot that revolves around a family which seems to be figuring out life at certain instances. The storyline can be “bland”, “repetitive” & “cliched”.  Still few instances have appreciable plot as it is meaningful and deep. In the age of the Internet where people get their information online and on television the empire is tottering like the Ottomans of the 19th century. Overall, the late family patriarch wants his feuding heirs to settle their differences and pull together.

What’s There?

  • Movie had depth to it as it covered various topics like addiction, forgiveness, and overcoming really hard life decisions
  • The movie plot is heartwarming filled with subtle comedy

What’s Not There?

  • Overacting in certain instances made it cliched
  • The plot was too out there i.e., widespread

Verdict

This movie seems to have an acquired taste, acting by the lead can be felt monotonous at parts, although the storyline is straightforward to follow. Although it covered necessary topics like addiction, forgiveness, and overcoming tough life decisions. Still it didn't meet the required satisfactory levels. It could've been done better.  If you’re into plots that have a legacy getting divided equally among family members, then you might go for it!
