Made on a reasonable budget, the film has already recovered its investment and has entered the profit zone. 102 Not Out is directed by Umesh Shukla, who previously helmed films like All Is Well and OMG! Oh My God. It is based on Saumya Joshi’s play of the same name.
Apart from movie buffs and critics, Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor’s friend and actor Shatrughan Sinha also praised their performances and tweeted, “The great Amitabh Bachchan and most desirable Rishi Kapoor ne kar diya kamaal (they have done wonders)! ‘102 Not Out’ is a well done and (is a) spotless hit film being seen and enjoyed by every section of society.
