The Signature (2024) Movie

The signature (2024) movie starts at the airport where the old couple is about to travel, but a dramatic twist happens that sets the course of the movie. 

How Anupam Kher learned about DNR and how his son requested DNR to stop all artificial intelligence and other electric devices because they didn’t have enough funds to support his mother.

Things become more complicated when his (Anupam Kher’s) daughter comes into the story. How a helpless father raised his hands to borrow money from his daughter, and on the other hand, his son-in-law made up a story to get rid of the situation. 

The movie is a bit slow but always in a situation that touches our emotions. The guest appearance of Mahima Choudhary adds some extra roots to the story.

One signature is the deciding factor of a person who is in a coma and a person who is trying to get finances to pay the daily hospital bills.

1 hr 30 min-long movie touches down your emotions badly. How society treats old people and relations changes its course when a person is hospitalized and seeking financial and moral support. 

Every day can be a new beginning, any day can be the end.

💔 Such is life, such is the story.

Critics Review

1. Dhaval Roy of the Times of India rated the film 3.5 out of 5, describing it as “a poignant and thought-provoking film that explores the depths of human emotion and the enduring power of love. However, the film’s pacing may be slow for some viewers, and the lack of major plot twists might not appeal to those seeking a fast-paced narrative. It’s a worthy watch if you appreciate heartfelt storytelling, strong performances, and a nuanced exploration of human relationships.
2. Rishabh Suri from Hindustan Times commends Anupam Kher’s performance, noting that it adds depth and emotion to this remake of the Marathi film Anumati. Deepansh Duggal from Money Control rated the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote that “While The Signature isn’t a flawless film, it is an important step towards making conversations around caregivers and compassion fatigue go mainstream.
3. Nirali Kanabar of OTTplay rates the film 3 stars out of 5 and writes, “The Signature is a film that will move you to tears. From the beginning to the end, the movie keeps you hooked to the screen despite a few bumps here and there. The film also explores the parent-child relationship as the parents grow old, the struggles that the elderly face, and society’s perception of them.
4. Angel Rani of the Deccan Herald rated the film 1.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, “It feels more like a documentary—and a dull one at that — on how society treats senior citizens. Often considered “useless” and unworthy of insurance policies. Ganesh Aaglave of Firstpost rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and highlighted “Anupam Kher is simply brilliant as he captures our attention right from the first frame. Mahima Chaudhary and Annu Kapoor provide apt support with their class acts while Ranvir Shorey makes an impact despite having a very brief role.
