Uunchai - The Highs and Lows Through NLP Lens

The story of 3 friends who set on the journey of ash immersion for their another best friend tastes like 3 idiots with the spice of friendship. The parental angle draws a blurred line with Baghbaan, but Suraj Barjatya has taken care of serving contemporary values packed in old packet. Rest of the saga has mixed concoction of values, friendship, care and a redefined way to look at parenting too. Coming from a childhood, where I chose movies over cricket and sometimes even friends, I cannot resist connecting the dots between every movie I watch with NLP. So here are some observations through the lens of NLP. – When they decide to trek to base camp, Outcome orientation is well portrayed.

– 2 months to practice are perfect example of Sensory Awareness of current situation.

– Behavioural Flexibility is depicted in Amit’s willpower to do whatever it takes to get there.

– Rapport (meet them where they are) is explicitly demonstrated when Amit gets Om and Javed to agree by offering Javed’s wife, Neena to be dropped at daughter’s place.

– Negotiation principle is shown through Amit by Letting them know that what you want is on the same path as what they want – planning Kanpur and Gorakhpur halts on the way for Javed and Om.

– Forgiveness – forgiving Mala for breaking Bhupen’s heart and allowing her to throw the ashes.

– Calibration – Amit observes Javed’s daughter and son-in-law’s non-verbals that are non-welcoming of their parents.

– Amit shows Chunking down through an overwhelming task of walking by breathing after every single step.

– Clarity of outcome is reflecting through difference between Base Camp and the apparent interpretation of climbing to the top of Everest.

– Authenticity – What Amit writes for the youth is not in congruence with the reality of the youth.

– Focus and patience of Shraddha who is guiding the 4 oldies along with the other youngsters.

– Regret of Mala – realising that “everyone makes the best of the resources they have.”

– Respect + Love + SELF – Javed finally takes a stand to go to EBC while at the same time stating his love and respect for his wife.

Till the time we meet next, stay cinematic.
