Just watched a Bollywood movie 102 not out for the 2nd time and thought of writing this post. Started writing this article on Father's Day. It is dedicated to my father Dr Rohit M Oza and the cast/crew of movie 102 not out. The movie has an amazing star cast of millennium Super Star Amitabh Bachchan and Mega Star Rishi Kapoor. The story evolves around 4 characters...

2. Rishi Kapoor as Babulal Vakharia, Dattatraya's son
3. Jimit Trivedi as Dhiru
4. Dharmendra Gohil as Amol Vakharia, Babulal's son

The movie is based on a Gujarati play written by Saumya Joshi and has been directed by Umesh Shukla. Let us refresh the story of 102 not out by watching this trailer.
