Dattatraya Vakharia is a remarkably vibrant 102-year-old man living in Mumbai with a zest for life that defies his advanced age. Unlike most centenarians, Dattatraya harbors a rather unorthodox dream: he wants to break the world record for the oldest living man, currently held by a Chinese man aged 118. To achieve this, he needs absolute peace and tranquility, which leads him to formulate a drastic plan regarding his 75-year-old son, Babulal.Babulal is the absolute antithesis of his father. A gloomy, chronically pessimistic widower, Babulal has completely surrendered to the monotony of old age. He spends his days obsessing over his minor ailments, popping medications, and mourning the departure of his estranged grandson, Dhiru, who moved to the United States and has since gone silent. Observing his son’s depressive existence as a threat to his own longevity, Dattatraya resolves to throw Babulal out of the house into an old-age home if he cannot fundamentally change his dismal attitude.Shocked and desperate not to be banished in his twilight years, Babulal agrees to a series of bizarre and unconventional tasks assigned by his father. These assignments are designed to shock Babulal out of his comfort zone and force him to rediscover his lost passions. The challenges include writing a love letter to his long-deceased wife that expresses buried grievances, cutting off ties with a toxic relative who drains his energy, and wearing a ridiculous mask to scare away negative thoughts. Through these humorous yet emotionally potent trials, Babulal slowly begins to shed his heavy psychological burdens, learning to laugh and embrace the present moment.Amidst this personal transformation, a deeper family mystery unfolds concerning Dhiru. Babulal believes his grandson abandoned him, which is the primary source of his heartbreak. However, Dattatraya investigates and discovers the shocking truth: Dhiru never abandoned them at all. Instead, Babulal’s own suffocating negativity and constant complaining drove the young man away, and Babulal’s toxic relatives had been intercepting Dhiru’s letters and calls to isolate the old man.Armed with this revelation, father and son reconcile deeply, bridging a generational chasm. Babulal finally confronts his manipulative relatives, cutting them out of his life for good. Ultimately, the film culminates in a heartwarming reunion with Dhiru, who returns home after realizing his grandfather has transformed into a joyful, loving man. Dattatraya proudly watches his son and grandson embrace, realizing that his unorthodox methods have not only secured his path to breaking the longevity record, but have also successfully resurrected his family’s happiness, proving that it is never too late to truly start living.
