Plot

The story centres on a dysfunctional household. Lawyer Tara stays in with her partner Mudassar in Bengaluru. She leaves to party after winning her first case. Tara doesn't respond to calls or messages from her mother Gayatri. She finds out that Gayatri has died when her father Harish calls the same day.

To be with Harish, she quickly travels to her birthplace of Chandigarh. She has three brothers -Karan, Harish's eldest son, who lives in San Francisco, Nakul, his second son and an adoptive son named Angad, living in Dubai. Additionally, Karan and Angad book the first flight to Chandigarh. Meanwhile, Nakul is unavailable. The first person there is Tara. She and Harish disagree about the cremation rites, and they argue about them.

Harish is also furious with Karan and Angad since he thinks they don't seem affected by the death of their mother. Fights break out in the home because of Harish's behaviour. However, none of them have a choice. For a few days, they must live together under one roof. The remainder of the movie is based on what occurs next.

Reception

Goodbye received positive reviews from critics.[9]

Navneet Vyasan of News 18 rated the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "Vikas Bahl asks many questions in his latest film. It is hard to find loose ends in his film and even if it exists it proves to be inconsequential, unable to hamper the film's strong points".[10] Rohit Bhatnagar of The Free Press Journal rated the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "Goodbye won't leave you soon but rather fiddle around your mind and make you rethink your equations with your family. It is a perfect family entertainer of the modern-day world but with strong roots".[11] Kartik Bhardwaj of Cinema Express rated the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote "The Amitabh Bachchan, Rashmika Mandanna starrer is an emotional ride with its heart in the right place".[12] Ganesh Aaglave of Firstpost rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "The emotional roller-coaster will make you smile, laugh and cry with every character making a special place in our hearts. The film deserves a special mention for the beautiful montages".[13] Mayur Sanap of Rediff rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Goodbye is embedded with solid emotional moments, a few chuckles and some nice ponderings upon life, love and everything inbetween. With its heart in the right place, the film is perfectly efficient and likable in both jerking tears and soliciting laughs".[14] Princia Hendriques of Mashable India rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "In the era of power-packed, adrenaline-filled cinematic treats, Goodbye provides a breather for the audience to gather their family".[15] Sanchita Jhunjhunwala of Zoom rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Goodbye is the kind of film that's all heart, and is a sob-fest but also has ample of moments that will make you laugh through the tears".[16] Sonal Verma of Zee News rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Goodbye has proven that not everything is a myth and that not every myth is wrong. Vikas Bahl's family dramedy will take you on an emotional ride full of hurdles, tears and laughs all together".[17] Grace Cyril of India Today rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Goodbye is filled with heartwarming and heartbreaking moments. The unfiltered emotions in the film touch the right chord and even bring you closer to your loved ones".[18]

Renuka Vyavahare of The Times of India rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Goodbye is a story of a family coping with grief and laughing through their pain. Keep the tissues handy before watching this one".[19] Tina Das of The Print rated the film 3 out of 5 stars and wrote "Amitabh Bachchan steals the show, and is only challenged by the iridescent Neena Gupta in Goodbye".[20] Bollywood Hungama rated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Goodbye works due to the touching moments, relatability factor, and performances. However, the film suffers due to the bizarre developments, weak second half, and depressive tone".[21] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated the film 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Amitabh Bachchan-Rashmika Mandana's film delivers broad humour and heavy-handed sentimentality, which succeeds best when the emotion occasionally swims to the top without the belabouring".[22] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV rated the film 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "Goodbye is crafted to deliver an unabashed workout for the lachrymal glands. Its grievously shallow methods undermine its avowed purpose".[23] Pratikshya Mishra of The Quint rated the film 2 out of 5 stars and wrote "Goodbye is constantly asking you to feel something or the other till it comes to an end with a half-baked lesson on 'compromise'. A more concise script, fewer characters, and trust in the audience would've gone a long way for a film like Goodbye".[24]
