Datri, a 102-year-old Indian old man, although his physical age is very old, his mental age is only 26 years old. He is full of curiosity about the world and lives happily every day.
One day, he suddenly announced that he wanted to break the Guinness World Record for Longevity. In order to do this, he would send his 75-year-old son, Babu, to a nursing home, because Babu was idle, old-fashioned, and lifeless, living with such a person. Together, it greatly influenced him to reach the world record.
He has yet to set another world record, the world's first dad to put his son in a nursing home.
This is the beginning of the Indian comedy film "Dad 102", with constant jokes in the middle, but an unexpectedly touching ending.

Son Babu couldn't accept this decision. He was very sad. If anyone moved the curtains in his bedroom, he would not be able to sleep all night, let alone a place like a nursing home.
In order not to go to the nursing home, the 75-year-old, poor old Babu, reluctantly began to complete a series of tasks assigned by his father:
Write a love letter to a dead wife,
With all his strength blowing a conch,
Stop going to the clinic every day to check your body,
Explore the city of Mumbai in a full day,
Go to the big airplane restaurant that I liked when I was a child,
Go to the church where I often go with my son Amo to listen to the bells,
Go to the city bakery and relive your wedding anniversary itinerary...
All of these turned Babu from a gloomy old man into a happy old man full of curiosity and optimism.
At this time, the audience learned from Datri why Babu became what he is now. His wife died of illness, his son Amo was ungrateful, and Babu was trapped in Amo for too long. Datri wanted Babu Bo knows that if his son becomes a jerk, just forget him, just remember the innocence and beauty of his childhood.
Datri said to Babu, I will not let your son beat my son.

There are many movies about father's love, "When Happiness Comes Knocking" and "Like Father Like Son" can make us feel the tenderness and greatness of family affection. But what touched me most about this movie was the attitude of the protagonist Datri towards life, who used innocent eyes to discover the beauty of the world anytime, anywhere.
We shouldn't be like Babu, always saying, "I'm 75 years old, what else can I do", but like his dad Datri, always confidently saying, I'm only 102 years old, it only takes 16 years , I can beat the world record to become the oldest person in the world.
If you're not naturally optimistic and curious about the world like Datri, how do you get out of a lifeless life, it's actually quite simple, just do what Datri told Babu to do, dance in the rain, Play the saxophone on the street, chat with the taxi driver and ask him to tell you interesting things that happened recently.
Datri said to Babu, who had untied the knot, you have to promise me one last thing, one day, when you find out that I am dead, don't panic, you have to whistle loudly with your fingers, your father's life Like a good game, you have to cheer me on with a loud whistle.

In the movie, Datri said that the first sign of old age is to find solace in the old, and his mind will close the door to the new.
Babu has a soft spot for a blanket he bought when he was 10 years old and has slept under it for 65 years. Datry asked Babu to cut the blanket. He said that once the blanket is gone, a new life will come quietly, and every night will be different and new, and will bring new dreams.
This reminds me of a story told by Mr. Liu Run. As a strategic consultant, Mr. Liu Run deals with many entrepreneurs every day. Sometimes he would meet some senior entrepreneurs, and said kindly and proudly, "I don't use WeChat. Let you children use WeChat, and I will grasp the general direction."
Hearing such a confident expression, Mr. Liu Run is often very touched. If you don’t even need WeChat, the connector to the new world, and you will be out of touch with the world, how can you grasp the general direction?
Mr. Liu Run said that no matter how old we are, we must be curious about new things, have the courage to try, and let the future come before your eyes.
