Let's be realistic.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

It is a pleasant relaxed watch. No violence or sleaze. It was nice to watch Rishi Kapoor in a major role pitted against his "screen" son enacted by Abhishek. There is a nice base of melodrama, good chunk of roadie (on the road), dash of romance, some comic villains in the story. The guy who acted in the role of the loan shark along with his sidekicks were hilarious, without being over the top. Asin plays a good foil. Overall, decent fare. Nothing spectacular, but worth a watch when you don't want to tax yourself much. There were other reviews which seemed overtly critical. Frankly it was not bad at all. It is a good family movie.

I am going to describe the four main characters of the film; it will be enough for you to decide if you should watch this utter fail at filmmaking.Junior Bachchan plays an arrogant son of a Punjabi sweet-maker who is now living in Bangkok after having run away from his house as a teenager on account of his father's abusive nature. Comparing his expressions to that of a wood would be an insult to the latter as he goes about ignoring the umpteen requests made by his presumed spiritual girlfriend who is desperate to marry and get laid. Playing his on-screen father is the talented Rishi Kapoor who unanimously wins the competition among the cast for overacting. Supriya Pathak makes being a mental patient look like the seven tests of hell. Last but not the least, Asin's Air India flight from Mumbai (and Bollywood) leaves this week.Within the first ten minutes one learns how laziness played a significant role in the making of the film. Who else would play an emotional song in between sequences where the characters are delivering dialogs important to the plot? There's only one thing that you would do after watching the film and that is feeling bad for the actors.BOTTOM LINE: All Is Well is a brilliant lesson in how to not make a film.GRADE: FVERDICT: Skip for life.Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

Umesh Shukla's 'All Is Well' is a lighthearted family-comedy, with a few entertaining moments, that leave a mark. However, the writing isn't always funny & lags at times. 'All Is Well' Synopsis: An estranged son, Inder (Abhishek Bachchan) returns home to help his father (Rishi Kapoor), who's in debt. But that's not all, Inder's mother has Alzheimer's & his lady-love tags along with him. Chaos follows...'All Is Well' is passable entertainment. It has some inspiring moments, that provide laughter. The first-hour is breezy & some of the comedic portions work nicely. Its the second-hour, that dips considerably. The humour wears out & the father-son conflict doesn't engage after a point. Even the climax looks hurried. In short, the first-hour is decent, but the second-hour doesn't really work. Sumit Arora & Niren Bhatt's Screenplay is a mixed bag. It begins well & is also funny, but post-interval, it loses pace. Sharper Writing was the need of the day! Umesh Shukla's Direction is ordinary. Sameer Arya's Cinematography is eye-filling. Editing isn't crisp. Music by Various Artists is energetic.Performance-Wise: Abhishek Bachchan does a fine job. He enacts his part sincerely. Rishi Kapoor is loud, but that's the demand of the character. Asin is limited to a few expressions. The Wonderful Supriya Pathak is wasted in an insignificant role. Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub is first-rate. The talented actor plays the bumbling villain with terrific timing. Jameel Khan is adequate. Sonakshi Sinha sizzles in an item number. On the whole, 'All Is Well' works in parts. At best, a one-time watch!

All Is Well is a film I actual really tried to like, I am mean even as I write this review I am trying to think of the films best parts but there were not many, the film was just plain boring. I usual lap Bollywood melodrama, if done well a good melodrama that talks about family, parents etc leaves tear is your eyes. All Is Well however doesn't have the emotional connect at all, the story seems half balked, and even if your going down the clichéd, predictable story route it has to be done well. All Is well fails on that accord too,what we are left with in the film is a few laughs here and there.The films story is about man named Inder who lives in Bangkok and is trying to become a famous singer, but he is struggling to do so. When we get to know his back story we find out he left his house in India 10 years ago because he couldn't stand his dad, who was a failed bakery owner, and wanted him to join his business. He grew up watching his father fight with his mom, and struggle to make ends meet. Inder therefore has a lot of hatred for him. Seeing his parents failed marriage Inder also does not believe in getting married, therefore leaving his girlfriend Nimmi hopeless and forced too get arranged marriage back in India. However things take a U-turn when Inder is conned to go back to India, and finds out his dad has a 20 lakh loan to payoff. His father is hell bent in not selling his bakery to payoff the money, and Inder is now stuck in India, having to pay off his father loan some how. They then after eluding the loan shark Cheema, go on a road trip with his mother who now has Dementia and his girlfriend. The road trip is taken to get his moms Gold Jewelry, from his Uncle who she left the Jewelry with so they can payoff the loan. Thats the films main crux, and to find out more rush to theatres.Acting wise Abhisek Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor lead the pack and are good in there roles. Asin, and Supriya Pathak have half baked roles. But it is Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub who steals the show,his scenes make you laugh, he is fantastic.Coming from the man who made OMG one of the best Bollywood films in recent times I excepted more from Umesh Shukla, looks like he is back to the Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge days, his film looks like a small budget dated film. And whats with AB Jr's changing looks?Overall AIS is more of DVD watch, I mean other then Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub comic act, and couple of other comic sequences, there is nothing much to see in the film. Its highly predictable, and clichéd, and the emotional scenes fall flat. All is not well!2/5* or 4.5/10
