    One of The Best Movie of The Year

    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

    Sparkling Sulu, in search of self-fulfillment, lets Vidya Balan shine through

    Tumhari Sulu is a heartwarming, consistently entertaining little film which grows on you as it goes by and makes you embrace it even despite its flaws. The film tackles themes of marital life, gender roles and differences, especially in relation to women's careers in conservative societies, and it does so with simplicity and heart. The protagonist of this film is a simple housewife who is in constant search of fulfillment, and a great opportunity arises when she auditions for a job as a radio jockey and is taken. Many said it's about chasing your dreams; I think it's more about one fulfilling oneself and one's potential at each and every stage of one's life.

    The film is a pleasant and refreshing film experience, it is authentic, funny, lighthearted, and it has no heroes or villains. Some scenes, including the arguments in Sulu's house about the decency of her job are brilliantly done. So is the portrayal of Sulu's growing career against her husband's increasing professional struggle. While the radio parts are well handled, I still wish the film had given us greater insight of this world other than just what we see on the surface. Sadly, some of the parts with Sulu's boy at school and the proceedings that follow it veer more into the melodrama genre and feel a little forced.

    Vidya Balan shines through. Sulu is a unique screen heroine - unassuming but strong and outgoing, honest to the core and just so passionate about life even in the tiny pleasures it gives. In one scene Sulu says she enjoys everything she does, and it couldn't be truer. With humour and soul, Balan brilliantly captures this adaptive nature of Sulu, her verve, positive energy, and this penchant to constantly try and realise her potential. Manav Kaul is first-rate as her supportive, sensitive husband, and Neha Dhupia is lovely and pleasant as the kind boss. Tumhari Sulu ends on a fantastic note after several hard-hitting scenes. I'm sure the film will win hearts for encouraging viewers to achieve self-fulfillment.

    Main Sabkuch Kar Sakti Hai - Vidya.

    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.......................................

    Despite picking up late this Sulu steadily wins the race.

    TUMHARI SULU REVIEW : When i saw it's Trailer i was like, OMG this is daily happening story and why no one made film on this topic before in bollywood? Since i was excited to see something new in the film let me tell you that hasn't happened, this film surpassed all ordinary expectations but nothing new or special, still it has all the elements to be called a Decent to Good Film.

    Vidya Balan's Natural Acting left me with strong impact and i think she will definitely receive Best Actress nominations in Indian award shows. This should be called Manav Kaul's debut film in a lead role, despite being an lady oriented film his role is almost like a lead hero in film and he gave justice to his character. Other star cast is okay at their level.

    Screenplay is Decent, run time could have been trimmed by 10-12 minutes. Excluding that film has no bore moments, it's throughout entertaining and engaged. It makes you laugh, keeps you hooked and has emotions too.

    Music is Average, Ban Ja Rani is a Hit, all Other songs are average yet situational and are picturised very well.

    Cinematography is below par. As this is a realistic plot i was expecting some regular angles and frames but this one goes filmy.

    Direction and Writing is done by Triveni and it deserves appreciation for this unique idea. Film doesn't lose it's grip from the start to end except few dull moments and songs in between and that all credit goes to Triveni.

    Overall, Tumhari Sulu is a Decent film and should be watched by all Housewives and husbands together. This might leave you with some message on life, even if doesn't give you any message still it worths you ticket purchase for good entertaining elements. At Box Office this film might find tough because appeal is very limited and competition is not in limit, though it will do an Average business for sure, no one can stop a Good Cinema from getting a success. I give 6/10* stars to this well crafted unique story and admires makers for their daring.
