Sharmajee Ki Beti

I always enjoy watching female-oriented movies that are either packed with a message or offer a fun-filled ride, and this one falls into both categories.

The story revolves around two daughters and three women who share the Sharma surname. One narrative follows a working-class woman, played brilliantly by Sakshi Tanwar, dealing with her teenage daughter, Vanshika Taparia. Vanshika has a meaty role in the movie and shines throughout. Sharib Hashmi, as the supportive husband, gives a decent performance.

Divya Dutta, portraying a small-town woman in Mumbai, nails her character, and Arista Mehta, as her daughter, is noteworthy. Parvin Dabas is good in his limited screen time. Saiyami Kher, as a cricketer, performs well and fits her character perfectly.

Tahira Kashyap, the director, has crafted a delightful story that touches on various subjects and is highly relatable. The depiction of teenage issues is the fun part of the movie, and many girls, as well as parents dealing with their daughters, will relate to it. The supportive husband is a sweet addition, making you wish for a partner as supportive as him. The portrayal of small-town challenges in a big city is spot on, and the friendship between teenage girls stands out as a highlight of the movie. Finally, a girl's perseverance in pursuing her dreams is shown with a lot of grace.

What doesn't work is the unnecessary inclusion of angles related to homosexuality and infidelity. It seems they tried too hard to showcase many aspects of a woman's life. Sometimes, simplicity is better, and there's no need to overdo it.

Tahira need not be known just as Ayushmann Khurrana's wife; she has proven her mettle with this movie. What works best about this movie is that it never gets preachy, making you feel highly connected and emotionally invested. Watch this liberating, fun movie, which will surely bring a smile to your face. #pranureviews #SharmajeeKiBeti #SharmajeeKiBetiReview.

Loved every bits of it. Personally feel that the story line is relatable to every woman. The film broke stereotypes attached to many typical characters and topics of our lives.

It shows the importance of career as well as family life and showed how it is possible for a woman to achieve her dreams with the right kind of support from society including family members and friends.

Loved how it normalized coming out to your family as LGBTQ+ and also normalized talking about periods, pleasure, romance etc.

Saw some reviews saying it is irresponsible for "underage" actors, but it is important to remember that menstruation is beginning as early as eight years of age in children. The movie normalized the stressful situations anyone with a vagina go through during such emotional upheaval.

Loved the way the characters broke stereotypes - mother of the character in Patiala, the working class woman, the stay at home wife, husbands. Literally the movie felt like it healed a lot of people who had difficult times in family while growing up and also while balancing work with their families.

Must watch for every woman and I really wish that the male audience would watch it with more empathy and try to understand this perspective without condemning the film as "boring".

I really loved the script and theme. It's such happy film. I couldn't pause or leave the movie for the next time... it's a heartwarming and delightful film! The movie masterfully weaves a relatable story that explores the complexities of family dynamics, love, and self-discovery. The lead actress shines with her impressive performance, bringing depth and charm to her character. The supporting cast is equally impressive, delivering standout performances that add to the film's humor and emotional resonance. The direction is superb, with a narrative that flows seamlessly and keeps you engaged from start to finish. Best job done by Tahira and all the fabulous actors including those two young girls ... exceptional acting skills ...super !!!!!!!!!!!

Overall, 'Sharma Ji Ki Beti' is a must-watch for anyone looking for a light-hearted, feel-good film that will leave you smiling and inspired!" (5/5 stars)

"Sharma Ji Ke Beti" is a film that attempts to explore contemporary social issues but falls flat due to its irresponsible portrayal of underage characters. The movie is marred by inappropriate dialogues and behaviors exhibited by children, which not only feels forced but also deeply uncomfortable.

The narrative, which could have been an insightful commentary on societal norms, is overshadowed by the shock value of these interactions. Instead of contributing meaningfully to the story, the explicit dialogues delivered by young actors serve as a distraction and raise questions about the ethical considerations of such portrayals.

The performances, despite the talent of the young actors, are overshadowed by the distasteful script. It's unfortunate to see their potential wasted on such material. The direction and writing show a lack of sensitivity and awareness, failing to balance the need for realism with the necessity of protecting the innocence of its young characters.

Overall, "Sharma Ji Ke Beti" misses the mark significantly. The film's reliance on inappropriate content undermines any message it might have intended to convey. It's a disappointing watch, especially given the ethical issues involved in the depiction of children in such a manner.

This is what is true feminism and woman empowerment, movie is so deep if you really want to understand the meaning behind. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Such nuanced, small moments taken from our everyday life. Beautiful heart touching. I recommend every woman to watch this movie. Look forward to seeing more oh Tahira's work now. Thanks for making this movie much needed. Woman to our nation need to learn right meaning of feminism.

The way this movie has covered so many stories how woman feel what women go go through, only a woman could show such a world onscreen. I was hooked onto the screen.
