Where did you watch this movie?

This evocative family drama is the story of a father and a son between whom there is a special bond. Ishwarchand Thakur (Amitabh Bachchan) and Sumitra Thakur (Shefali Shah) are a married couple who run a toy factory together. They have a son called Aditya Thakur (Akshay Kumar) who does not have any interest in responsibility or what he wants to do in life. It gets even worse when he elopes with his girlfriend (Pooja, played by Priyanka Chopra), the daughter of Natu (Boman Irani). When Pooja gets pregnant, both Ishwar and Sumitra decide to make Aditya realize his responsibilities, as he will have to take care of his wife and child. Both take drastic measures and even chuck Aditya out the house along with Pooja. The farce becomes so bad that Aditya begins to hate his father and they do not speak to each other for a long time. At the same time Aditya becomes aware of his role in life. However, Ishwar has done all this for a reason and is hiding something from Aditya. What is Ishwar's secret? Will his tough love succeed in transforming Aditya into a responsible and mature adult before time runs out?

Trivia:
This is last time the successful pair of Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra appeared in a film. This is reportedly because Akshay's wife, Twinkle Khanna did like them working together.

Priyanka Chopra stepped on a loose wire and was electrocuted while shooting the song "Do Me A Favor". She had to spend a night in the hospital.

The film's launch was held at Mumbai's Juhu Beach. Director Vipul Shah wanted the common man to be able to witness it.
