‘The Mehta Boys’, which has garnered widespread critical acclaim and audience appreciation since its premier at CSAFF, is a heartwarming family drama. It showcases Boman Irani’s ability to not only act but also direct with finesse.

‘The Mehta Boys’ stars Boman Irani, Avinash Tiwary, Shreya Chaudhry and Puja Sarup in key roles. The film is written by Boman Irani along with Alexander Dinelaris Jr, who has co-written the Oscar-winning script for ‘Birdman’. It is based on a father and son, who are at odds with each other, and find themselves compelled to spend 48 hours together. The film explores the complexities of a father-son relationship.

Boman Irani, who was last seen in ‘Dunki’, and Alexander Dinelaris Jr also conducted a masterclass on the writing process of the film recently at the film fest.
