Like most content-driven films aimed at families, #102NotOut started on a slow note, but gathered momentum from evening onwards… A HEALTHY GROWTH is on the cards on Sat and Sun… Word of mouth is SUPER-STRONG… Fri ₹ 3.52 cr. India biz.

‘102 Not Out’ is a story of lively 102-year-old man and his 65-year-old son. While the father, played by Amitabh Bachchan, wishes to break records, plays football and has fun, his son wants him to ‘act his age’. Twitter had warm reactions to the movie.

.@SrBachchan and @chintskap together have over the last four decades done several films but #102NotOut is easily the most significant one as they make you laugh, weep and reflect on life.

Among all the tweets, our favourite is the one by Big B where he is all nostalgic about the Mumbai Opera. The duo came together in a movie after 27 years. The last movie this ‘Angry Young Man’ and ‘Chocolate Boy’ of 1970’s and 80’s were seen together in, was Ajooba, which released in the year 1991.
