Jab Khuli Kitaab is a story of an older couple seeking a divorce after fifty years of togetherness. The film deals with the dysfunctionality of relationships and its impact on family, with dollops of humor and heart. A romance that cuts across all age groups, this is a film that asks the question – what do love, passion and heartbreak have to do with age? The film is set in Uttarakhand, and has recently wrapped its start-to-finish schedule in Ranikhet.publive-imageWriter-Director-Producer Saurabh Shukla says, "JAB KHULI KITAAB is very close to my heart and I'm thrilled to have stalwarts like Pankaj Kapur and Dimple Kapadia as my leads. We all say that one should be transparent and clean in any relationship but how many of us are open to face the truth in our own relationships? The film is a romcom with a couple in their 70s. You see them doing what any teenager will do in their relationships. The film is a joyride where you laugh, fall in love and cry with this unique couple. I’m thankful to Sameer Nair for supporting me and making this happen."publive-imageSameer Nair, CEO, Applause Entertainment, said, "Jab Khuli Kitaab has an endearing, exciting idea at its core, which completely sets it apart from other romances. This film disrupts the usual tropes and reflects how love at any age can turn into a messy and inflammable affair. The script is sharp, observant and hilarious in equal measure, complemented by our wonderful ensemble of actors, led by the remarkable Pankaj Kapur and Dimple Kapadia. We are delighted to be collaborating with Saurabh Shukla and Shoe Strap Films for this truly special film."
