The Intern (2027)

The Intern is one of the upcoming movies of the comedy-drama genre. This new film is the highly anticipated Indian adaptation of the beloved Hollywood film, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone in lead roles. The story centres on Ben, a seventy-year-old widower who finds retirement less fulfilling than he expected. Looking for a new sense of purpose, he applies for a senior intern program at 'About The Fit,' an up-and-coming online fashion start-up, created and run by the ambitious and hard-working CEO, Jules (Deepika Padukone). At first, Jules is doubtful about having a senior intern; he believes Ben will serve more of a distraction than an asset. However, as Ben relaxes into his role, old-school charm, pure intelligence, incredible work ethic, kindness, and calm nature win over everyone in the office, including Jules. As Ben becomes a mentor and a shaky rock for Jules, she bears the weight of her demanding job and her family life. Made clear throughout the film, the unlikely friendship between Ben and Jules becomes a character study that surpasses age differences and job role expectations. It becomes a story of mutual exposure. Ben learns valuable lessons of life in the modern, fast-paced, and digitised world. Similarly, Jules concludes from Ben the opportunity to discover his perspective, promote his voice, and seek subtle advice. The Intern is one of the most recent releases that is a feel-good, heartfelt comedy-drama about discovering purpose no matter what age, the importance of an intergenerational workplace, and the modern evolution of the working environment.
