A Story that one will relate and can compare to every other household in your neighbourhood or it can be your own home also ...

Kutch Express begins casually in a ligth hearted way showing how a small town in Kutch the women socialise calling their own small gang as "Sisoti" their own term for the Kittie Party that urban women enjoy ... the difference is that the Sisoti is a private affair not known to their Men.

Slowly the two main Characters of the film Baiji ( Ratna Pathak Shah ) & Monghi ( Manasi Parekh Gohil ) develop and the story shifts inside their home. Baiji is Monghi Mother In Law and they share a beautiful fairty tale like bonding never seen on screen and off screen too ... so it naturally brings a smile on your face. Monghis husband is not happy with Monghi and his having a affair with his colleague and then its a slow rollercoaster ride with himan emotion wave and ending up in tap of fish net ...

Eveything is balanced beautifully... The Commercial & Realistic proposition of the film to entertain and at the same time making you think whether am I also the Rigth Man in my house ?

Direction by Viral Shah is top notch, Cinematography by Dhawallika is Superlative catching amazing views of The unexplored Kutch Music by Sachin Jiger is peppy and heart touching.

Background Score by Gulraj is beautiful.

Dialogues by Ram Mori are earthy , fresh, very relatable and people reaction im theatres prove that.

Now to performances : & the Award goes to Ratna Pathak Shah, Manasi Parekh, debutante Viraff Patel ....They are flawless and magical .The pairing of Ratna Pathak Shah & Manasi Parekh is a Master stroke. Dharmendra Gohil supports wonderfully and is brilliant at it. Darsheel Safary , Manasi Varde are good.

Overall a Movie that needs no language as this could be in any language as Himan Emotions are the same everywhere in any language, just the geographical locations need a change. Here its Kutch, so its gujarati. The movie is with Subtitles in Emglish so its a boon that everyone one enjoy this beautiful piece of Cinema. GO WATCH IT ...

Story presented in an amazing way. It's showing the cruel reality of this conventional society very beautifully and in acceptable manner.

In Bollywood, movies showing the real rigidity of male ego has been stopped or been rare after "Sahib Bibi Aur Gulam".

In Gujarat, just last two years back there was Hellaro, most liked movie of Gujarat's culture and developing cruel realities of conventional society..

This is a next movie I would love to rate after Hellaro.

I believe this movtcan be watched by anyone, with anybody.

You can watch this movie with family, with girlfriend, with wife, with friends, anyone.

Good to watch first time in theatre.

Thansk for reading my review.
