What's the story

Superstar Amitabh Bachchan has unveiled a new poster of his upcoming family drama Uunchai. Unlike the previous posters that focused on individual cast members, this features everyone together: Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Sarika, Boman Irani, and Parineeti Chopra. Directed by Sooraj Barjatya, it's said to be a "tale of friendship" and will release on November 11. Its trailer will be out on Tuesday.

Context

Why does this story matter?

There are multiple reasons that make Uunchai an interesting prospect. The film will mark Sooraj Barjatya's return to the director's chair after the 2015 Salman Khan-Sonam Kapoor starrer Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. It is also his first-ever collaboration with Bachchan. Moreover, it is one of those rare films to bring multiple veteran actors together, and thus, seems promising, distinctive, and different from the league.

Poster reminds us of all other classic Rajshri films

Stamped with the classic Rajshri touch, Uunchai's new poster features all actors looking ecstatic while holding hands and putting their feet out. Posters of many other previous Rajshri films have also showcased families posing together, looking content and exuberant. Mount Everest—which has been a regular in all the previous posters of Uunchai—features here, too, and symbolizes the film's title, which translates to "height."
