For Abhishek Bachchan, nothing is more important than his family. Be it the Bachchan legacy or what his family stands for, he values that the most. He considers himself a good son and yet, going through the process of shooting Umesh Shukla'sAll Is Wellmade him question himself on how he could become an even better one. Over an hour-long conversation over breakfast that included many sausages, the extremely well-mannered AB (as he is lovingly called by his friends) talks to us about his parents' unconditional love for him, occasions when he touches their feet and why he considers only successful cinema as good cinema. Excerpts:

Lets talk about about All Is Well.

What I loved the most about the film when Umesh Shukla narrated it to me was his narrative style. He definitely has something to say in his film but what I liked is how he dresses it in humour. Such a nice way to put across such a serious point. Someone once said if you want to make a point, make them laugh. He doesn't sermonise or preach at all. He narrated the script to me and instantly, I wanted to be a part of it. 50% as I liked the story and 50% how he wanted to tell the story. Has a film on this subject been made before? Yes. But it's told in a very different way. It's a story about the dysfunctionality of a father and a son, a normal family from Kasol, where the father runs the family bakery, which doesn't really do very well, son grows up seeing his parents fight a lot. He is very traumatised and complexed as a result of that. He wants to become a musician, father wants him to obviously carry on the family business. They have different dreams and different aspirations. Circumstances are such that he needs to come back home and discovers that his mother has Alzheimer's. There is a huge loan that he needs to pay off and for that, they have to embark on this journey together. And the twist over there is that the doctor has said that the mom has to be kept happy. The father and son have not spoken for ten years and that makes it all the more tough as seeing his parents fight he had left his house ten years ago. There is one hilarious incident after the other, but what is nice is how Umesh has woven in his message about love, family, togetherness, commitment, communication and in the end how both the characters realise their wrongdoing. So it's a relationship-based film. What's nice is how he does it with a lot of light-hearted banter. The reason I really liked it is that I felt that what he is trying to say is very important.
