Barsaati Films’ Ghich Pich (UA) is a story about middle-class fathers and their rebellious sons.
Ankur Singla’s story does not offer much novelty as one has seen differences between a father and son as a sub-plot in various films. Ankush Singla and Karmaditya Bagga’s screenplay is ordinary and often predictable too. Therefore, the drama doesn’t engage the viewers. Ankur Singla’s dialogues are quite nice.
Nitesh Pandey does a fine job as Rakesh Arora. Satyajit Sharma performs ably as Naresh Bansal. Geeta Agrawal Sharma is superb as Ritu Arora. Nishan Cheema is adequate as Lakhpal Singh. Shivam Kakar is good as Gaurav Arora. Aryan Singh Rana is natural as Anurag Bansal. Kabir Nanda is nice as Gurpreet Singh. Sarthak Khurana is alright as Nitish Arora. Shalini Sharma has her moments as Jaspreet Kaur. Lilly Singh is alright as Rashmi Bansal. Raghav Joshi is okay as Chirag Bansal. Navroop Kaur is so-so as Harleen Kaur. Mia Magar lends routine support as Ashima. Guneet Sandhu (as Pranav), Eshu Babbar (as Aarti), Shrutika Singh (as Sneha), Sangeeta Gupta (as the teacher), Davinder Singh (as Tayaji), Sunita (as Tayiji), Armaanjeet Singh Sidhu (as Tayaji’s son), Suraj Sharma (as Parmar), Raman (as the matchmaker) and Vijay Chaturvedi (as Sneha’s father) provide average support.
Ankur Singla’s direction is ordinary. Ritwik De’s music and Shellee’s lyrics are functional. Background music is nothing to shout about. Sukhan Saar Singh’s camerawork is okay. Rohit Jha’s production designing is average. Syed Mubashshir Ali’s editing is loose.
On the whole, Ghich Pich is a non-starter.
Released on 8-8-’25 at PVR Lower Parel (daily 1 show) and other cinemas of Bombay thru Platoon One Distribution. Publicity & opening: poor. …….Also released all over. Opening was weak everywhere.
