One word review: Avoidable

A love story based on the pre-Independence British era in 1945 where the young Roop (Alia Bhatt) is torn between respect for husband Dev (Aditya Roy Kapur) and her newfound love for Zafar (Varun Dhawan). Their back stories unfolds and haunt their present and decide their future during the India’s Partition era.

What's Good: There are quite a few good stuff that includes - Alia Bhatt & Varun Dhawan with their screen presence & chemistry. Alia looks beautiful and delicate from start till the end, all thanks to her amazing costumes. Kunal Khemu shines in his small role with grey shade. The sets and the design looks great & humongous.

Kalank movie review

What's Bad: Too many things to be honest starting with the chemistry. There is absolutely no chemistry between the actors be it Madhuri & Sanjay to Aditya & Sonakshi. Their expressions looks forced and the love isn't visible in any scenes they portray. The length 2 hours and 48 minutes is too long for people to sit and watch the movie. After the first 30 mins, the movie becomes predictable and it feels a decade inside the theater. The direction and the screenplay is too bad that the dialogues seems boring in the course of the movie. Many scenes are left incomplete in the movie and the characters are not well written. The "Bull Fight" scene looks kiddish and has bad VFX which makes it hilarious rather than intense.

Overall, a movie which totally justifies the title and can be avoided easily. With a low rating of 2.5/10 in IMDB, its good to avoid this movie and watch 'Devdas" instead ;)

A movie which has the feel good factor in itself and will provide you with the warmth amidst the recent movies. A story of Mauji & Mamta from a small town who aspire to start their own small scale textile business. It has been well executed by the Director Sharad Katariya who had earlier given us the lovely movie "Dum Laga Ke Haisha". Once again he comes with a sweet and simple story of everyday life and endears us.

Sui Dhaaga review

Coming to the story, Mauji (Varun Dhawan) works as a helper in a shop that sells sewing machines also doing odd jobs for his bosses which includes enacting like a dog to entertain people at his self respect's behest. He is married to Mamta (Anushka Sharma) but they don't find time for each other due to life's struggles and in laws. Mauji has a sweet mother Amma (Yamini Das) and a nagging father Bauji (Raghubir Yadav). Mauji also has a brother who is married and doesn't stay with them. Life takes turns when at the boss's son's marriage Mauji goes to such an extent that he starts acting like a dog to earn some extra bucks. Saddened by the disrespect Mamta hints Mauji to start something of his own as he is a good tailor. That's where the story of struggle and pain begins.

The story starts of with a simple introduction of the family and with Mauji's philosophy "Sab Badhiya hai". The first half has its moments but fails to create impact. The main struggle and the story picks up in the second half which depicts the hardships Mauji & Mamta goes through in achieving their goals.

Mauji and Mamta - Sui Dhaaga

Varun Dhawan who had shown that he is a good actor in the recently released movie October and Badlapur excels once again with his expressions and dialogue delivery. The effort taken by him to enact Mauji truely shows in the movie. Anushka Sharma plays the quiet Mamta who directs Mauji and guides him towards the path and Mauji takes care of the rest. She has also excelled with the dialogue delivery and her expressions mostly in the second half. Watch out for her dialogue where she explains Mauji's struggle and pain to earn a sewing machine. Raghubir Yadav as usual excels in his role as a nagging father.

Sui Dhaaga movie review

The story is  very fast paced and sometimes doesn't feel realistic but is very well displayed by the director. Songs also doesn't slow the movie and helps the pace adding soothness.

On the whole "Sui Dhaaga - Made in India" is worth a watch and as Mauji says "Sab Badhiya hai" 😍
