They say “the journey is more important than the destination”. The little joys, and big disappointments along the way are what make life worth living. Celebrating this sentiment, Zee Cinema presents the World Television Premiere of Uunchai on 26th March at 12:30 pm. What starts off as a journey to fulfil their friend’s last wish, ends up teaching us the meaning of friendship, family, love, togetherness and emotions.

Starring stalwarts and talent powerhouses like Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Neena Gupta, Sarika and Danny Denzongpa in lead roles, Uunchai is a wholesome story that fills your heart with nothing but joy. Coming from the makers of Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, Vivaah and Hum Saath – Saath Hain, with this heart-warming tale of friendship, emotions, relationships, Sooraj Barjatya, once again tells a story keeping family values in mind.

Simplicity has always been at the heart of each Rajshri story. And Uunchai is everything one can expect from a bonafide Rajshri film. As the banner, celebrates 75 years of perfecting the family-friendly movie genre, this film marks Sooraj Barjatya return after seven years bringing a mixed bag of feelings, including love, sorrow, dreams, wishes, friendship, failures, self-belief, conviction, and a pledge to your loved ones – making it the perfect Sunday afternoon family watch.

Sooraj Barjatya mentioned, “There is so much power that cinema holds, it can gather a family and ensure a good time. At Rajshri, we are always striving to create films where we can communicate family values and bring them to life. As we celebrate 75 years, we continue to bring on screen the small important things that are often taken for granted. I hope this has translated with Uunchai and the audience of Zee Cinema feels the love we’re trying to propagate through this film”

Neena Gupta said, “For the longest time I had been hoping to work with Sooraj Barjatiya and with this film I finally got the chance to be a part of something heart-warming. The movie is an emotion in itself and just instantly brings a sense of togetherness. In my life, I find such strong pillars of strength in my family – we’re living through our individual journeys supporting each other unconditionally. So, I knew what this film meant. The film has taught me, once again, how important it is to cherish your closed ones”

Anupam Kher added, “Uunchai was a voyage that was both personal and transcendental. I have been a part of the Rajshri Productions family since its inception almost, and celebrating 75 years of Rajshri with a film like this almost feels like life has come a full circle. My character is irritable, inflexible and I’m sure we all have that one person in our family or friends’ circle. That’s what makes the film the perfect Sunday family watch, you will be able to relate each character to one in your very own family”
