A Still from 'Waqt'

Gradually there is a turnaround and Aditya takes it upon himself to handle his responsibilities. He starts working as a stuntman and is also preparing for a star hunt contest. How filmi! The rift between the father and son widens. The climax reminds one of 'Jhankar Beats' where the pregnant wife delivers and the final round of the contest takes a backseat. There is a melodramatic father-son reunion and wifey is rushed to hospital. All's well that ends well.

Based on the Gujarati play, 'Aavjo Vhala Fari Malishu', 'Waqt' is a complete family entertainer. It is a welcome relief after the deluge of successive disasters that were churned out in the name of cinema. There is one scene where Aditya actually accuses his father of spoiling him and making him irresponsible. He even adds that had he been in his place, he would have given his son enough time to mend his ways and assume responsibility. This should be an eye-opener for doting parents.
