Story: The narrative begins with migrants returning to their roots. Jay Prakash (Sanjay Mishra) is a smooth-talking opportunist and father of two grown-up children with the help of Benny (Ashwini Kalsekar) who is the housekeeper of 36 Farm House. He manages to wriggle his way as a chef into the house of Eighty-five-year-old Padmini Raj Singh (Madhuri Bhatia) the owner of 36 Farm House and its 300-acre property who had bequeathed her assets to her oldest son Raunak (Vijay Raaz).
JP gets the job purely because he convinced Raunak that he is a lone soul unmarried, and with no family members to claim his own. While JP is nearly settling in 36 Farm House he learns about Benny’s devious plan of stealing from her employers. During the same time his son Harry (Amol Parashar) who was an assistant to Designer Manish Malhotra by happenstance meets the designer Antra (Barkha Singh) who is heading to her grandmother Padmini’s residence. Together they come to 36 Farm House.
The rest of the family particularly her second son and a filthy affluent Gajender (Rahul Singh) and her youngest son’s wife Mithika (Flora Saini) believe Raunak emotionally manipulated their mother for the property and refuse to accept it. So she comes to mansion and manipulates Padmini and gives her a new bill and ask her to share the property among all sons. To add to the chaos is JP’s concerned and worried wife Shantishree who lands up at 36 Farm House in search of her husband.
In the parallel there is murder mystery of lawyer is investigating by police and main suspect is Raunkak Singh because he last visit farmhouse. Is Raunak singh is real culprit or anyone is behind this murder. What is the decision of Padmini and what happened to JP and his son to know the answers you need to watch this film.

Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I watched the trailer of this film planned to watch this movie in my free time because of Subhash Ghai and good star-cast associated with this movie.
36 Farmhouse story is bout Padmini Raj Singh who is the the family matriarch lives in an opulent mansion on Mumbai’s outskirts with her eldest son Raunak. The rest of the family particularly her second son, a filthy affluent Gajender and her youngest son’s wife Mithika believe Raunak emotionally manipulated their mother for the property and refuse to accept it. The rest of the story will reveal whether or not they were successful in convincing their mother to distribute an equal share of the land.
It’s hard to believe that stalwart actors like Sanjay Mishra, Vijay Raaz, Ashwini Kalsekar said yes to this project. It has to be out of goodwill and respect for the veteran Subhash Ghai, because otherwise, there is genuinely no depth of character for anyone of their caliber to play such roles. There is absolutely zero character progression, and they all seem to be playing hard on the same tropes which they’ve been famous for in the past as well. No fodder at all to play around with. To top all of this, the plot is filled with loopholes and things that even a kid in today’s world would be able to point out. Sadly, the writing by Subhash Ghai isn’t top-caliber as per today’s sensibilities. The same plot would have worked well in the 1980s-90s when such movies were prevalent in huge numbers. But, to the Netflix-Prime watching new-age viewers, these are just too hard to bear through.
If the plot wasn’t cringy enough, the cheesy dialogues make this unbearable. The boy tells the girl that he now needs to go and save his parents as it was his duty, and all the while he knew that the parents were locked up in a room just five steps ahead from where they were standing. There are plots that are left unanswered in the end. There are characters that are shown once and never shown again to even explain why that conversation was given screen time. Overall this is biggest disappointment and one of the worst movie I have ever seen. My view on this movie Not Recommended.
