In the opening scenes of the film, the Bhargava family’s patriarch, Ram Prasad Bhargava (Naseeruddin Shah) dies suddenly, bringing his large family back into their old bungalow where his wife Savitri (Supriya Pathak Kapur) now lives alone. The arrival of six children and various other relatives adds to the chaos. What’s more – old contentions are brought into limelight and the family struggles to make it through the 13 days of mourning. To exacerbate the situation, it is revealed that Ramprasad owes the banks a huge debt and now his children must bear the brunt of paying it back.
The key clashes, of course, lie with Ram Prasad’s children, especially the brothers – Gajraj aka Gajju (Manoj Pahwa), Manoj (Ninad Kamat), Pankaj (Vinay Pathak), and Nishant aka Nitu (Parambrata Chatterjee). They struggle with managing their family responsibilities, since they are married and have their own kids. And the topic of conversation veers towards how to take care of their mother, now that their father has passed away.Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi 2021 full Movie.
Actress Seema Pahwa makes her directorial debut (she has also written the film) with ‘Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi’. She manages to give a realistic portrayal of familial relationships in an Indian setting. However, her writing looks like a half-hearted effort as this family drama is neither funny nor emotional enough to keep you engaged throughout. Only some of the exchanges between the daughters-in-law are crafted.
Ramprasad’s entire family gathers under one roof for 13 days after his death, to perform and observe the Hindu traditions and rituals called the tehrvi. During the course, the family’s dynamics, politics, and insecurities come out, and then they realise that the importance of people and things are only evident in retrospect.
