Tumhari Sulu

After Lage raho Munna Bhai, RJ Vidya Balan is back with maturity and positive attitude towards life. Writer and director Suresh Triveni has added beautiful moments from common man's life. Great Good-Night punches through out. Manav and Neha are another big pillar of this movie. Women empowerment and fighter spirit is another key area of the cinema. Music was good especially Tu meri Rani.

Good: Must watch for middle class couples

Bad: Direction and Script was dull in second half especially at climax.

There were times Bollywood used to make simple and warm stories on lives of middle class family in Mumbai. Films like Baaton Baaton Mein, Chhoti Si Baat or Sansar touched the audience hearts as you could connect with real-life characters. Tumhari Sulu is like a breath of fresh air with superb performance by Vidya Balan.

Tumhari Sulu tells the story of Sulochna who loves to try out new things in life. However, her life changes when she gets the opportunity to become a Radio Jockey for a late-night call show.

First time director, Suresh Triveni, chooses a niche subject to make his Bollywood debut and comes out with a fruitful result. Right from the opening scene, the film will instantly connect you with the real-life characters. The story of a middle class family depicted in Mumbai along with their daily life struggle and happiness is heart-warming and yet convincing. Few scenes will grab your eyeballs- the audition of Vidya Balan at the Radio station, the confrontation between Manav Kaul and Vidya Balan when she gets her first salary and Vidya Balan making her first call as Radio Jockey is spellbinding and memorable. Unfortunately, the script loses the steam in the second half and weak climax plays the spoilsports. Few scenes looks forced which slows down the momentum it built in the first half.

Editing could have been better. Art direction and Cinematography is decent while the music is a plain average. Dialogues are powerful while background is just about okay. The captain of the ship is none other than Vidya Balan. The supremely talented just brings life into the film with electrifying performance. She is equally supported by Manav Kaul who throws in a good surprise. Neha Dhupia and Vijay Maurya provides in adequate support.

Overall, a well-made film with a weak second half. Thank god, Vidya Balan was there to save my day. Good 3/5

A Vidya Balan starer film has been released Today. I am a big fan of Vidya. Also, I have huge respect for Manav Kaul as a writer as well as an actor. So, I went for the first day first show! Name a recent film which has good message. Also, it should have finest performances, simple yet engaging story, more than five memorable moments, a song to be remembered, emotional touch, hilarious scenes, characters from surroundings, woman-centric theme, description of how to maintain good relationship with spouse, fresh content & India's best actress in the lead! You have to think more than more :p But after watching this, I guarantee you that you will get satisfaction in all the above criteria.

Vidya Balan has played many characters which are still used by fans while terming her. Another one is just added in the kitty. No one can play Sulu better or even closer to Vidya Balan. She is expressive, loud, smooth, simple, engaging, in short a perfect match to that character! Manav Kaul is supporting her fully. This pair is this year's coolest pair. He delivers a splendid performance. Whether you talk about office scenes or bedroom scenes, he is just superb. Ban Ja Tu Rani is making him a star apart from an actor.

Neha Dhupia & Vijay Maurya give good support. All other are suitable. Character build up has been done superbly. Every caller as well as the lady driver, each character speaks something and adds to the film. That is really rare.

There are several scenes which are totally hilarious. Ashok played by Manav reads a message on phone, and says 'Yaar ye Dr. Batra KO kaise pa-ta chal jata Ha ki Baal jhad rahe hain! Messages aane lage hain!' Hahaha. Also, this one is my favorite, when in excitement Manav buttons up his shirt and starts to rotate it, and suddenly coins started falling from it in the bedroom! For me, It was The Most! Although, Suresh Triveni has given a film of the year if I would say so. Because, I am expecting that it will surely do good business. I was watching some public reviews on YouTube, and everyone is praising it like giving more than 3.5 stars. Some are saying five out of five. Twitter is full of praises too. Vidya will be remembered as Sulu for many years.

In the time, where a woman is being threatened by some people for saying something in the favor of her film, Tumhari Sulu is a must watch. It will help you to think about woman in a more subtle way. Real woman empowerment is what this film says. Feminism is what this film says. Do husbands let their wives to work at radio in night show or even as a driver of OLA? Film says so much but this post is I am feeling too small. Not only men, but the whole society has to give space to women and their thoughts as well as choices. Forget about rest of the world, start changing individually. We want more Sulu and more Ashok in society for better future.

Come and see how far or close you are to be Sulu or her husband Ashok. Positive vibes, excellent message, fantastic performances. No violence, no below the belt. Just a few tear drops and a big smile. Year's best till date. So, 9/10.

Very good movie bie.......................................

Vidya Balan as Sulochna made a awesome acting, in fact it is unforgettable. Other actors are too good, Otherwise some people are sending negative replies can be the reason of it's story. Anyway if you watch this movie on a boring afternoon, It will make your entire day. The story is sometime slow that is why you may feel bored..!! Overall the movie is full of emotions including fun... Both is in same time If you miss this movie, never mind you will definitely watch this movie after watching it receiving awards
