Family drama, raw emotions, and a whole lot of heart – Prime Video’s upcoming original movie The Mehta Boys is here to tug at our heartstrings! The much-anticipated film, directed by the legendary Boman Irani, just dropped its trailer, and we’re already feeling all the feels.
The Mehta Boys: Not Your Typical Father-Son Duo
At its core, The Mehta Boys is a deeply emotional tale of a father and son navigating love, misunderstandings, and unspoken words. Starring Boman Irani as the father and Avinash Tiwary as the conflicted son, this film doesn’t sugarcoat the parent-child bond – it lays it all bare. Expect laughter, heartbreak, and moments so real, that you’ll swear you’ve lived them yourself.
The trailer gives us an intense, emotional, and sometimes heartwarming glimpse into the Mehta family’s world. Avinash Tiwary plays Amay, a son trying to bridge the emotional gap with his old-school, set-in-his-ways father, played by Boman Irani. The tension? Palpable. The emotions? Messy. The performances? Absolutely stellar.
Through moments of conflict, nostalgia, and growth, The Mehta Boys beautifully captures the imperfect yet unbreakable bond between family members. And let’s not forget – this isn’t just a sob-fest! The film promises lighthearted, relatable moments that make these characters feel all the more real.

Boman Irani Gets Personal with His Directorial Vision
Boman Irani isn’t just directing and acting in this film. He’s co-written it with Academy Award winner Alex Dinelaris. Reflecting on the film, he shared, “For me, The Mehta Boys is an extremely personal journey.” He continued, “The relationship between a father and son is one of the most complex and emotionally charged dynamics. With this film, I wanted to delve into how the bond between two people who deeply care for each other can be tested by time, misunderstandings, and unresolved issues. It is a story that has stayed with me for years, and I’m thrilled to finally share it with audiences in India and across the world on Prime Video. I am deeply grateful to the talented cast for bringing their characters to life with such depth and authenticity, enriching the story in every way.”
Avinash Tiwary’s Take on Playing Amay
Avinash Tiwary, fresh off his stellar performance in 12th Fail, calls The Mehta Boys a deeply transformative experience. “Amay’s character is layered with complexities, torn between familial loyalty and personal resentment. Certain circumstances force him into an intense and transformative encounter with his father, reshaping his perspective in ways he never anticipated. Portraying this journey was both challenging and rewarding. I am proud to be part of a movie that explores such relatable themes of family ties and reconciliation. I am sure the viewers, not only from India but from across the world, will truly enjoy and connect with this beautiful story of human relationships, “ he shared.
