Sui Dhaaga

I was expecting it to be one of the biggest releases this year. However, it didn't stand as per the expectations. Acting, no doubt, was good. We always like to watch struggle and emotional stories and this was one of it. Although it has a message and motivation, it lacks entertainment. First half was good. However, the climax disappointed. Concept was good, but overall the movie wasn't that good. The couple's relationship is the centre point which is too good to watch. It's a complete family movie. Positve is it may make some relationships stronger.

Beautiful movie, with brilliant performances. Loved the way Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma have portrayed their characters.

An introduced trailer and direction coming from Sharat Kataria, the director who directed Dum Laga ke haisha were more than enough of a reason to watch this movie this weekend. I would say first half of movie loses but the second half makes up for it.

Tone, Script & Story: It is a success story of a family which comes by manufacturing garments.

The first half that made me go awe were the script supporting the idea of immediate mood change and factors like selling garments in hospital.

The second half makes up for it. It has got that Indian tadka, feel good element which excels. They introduce something I term as non-restricted size models which is ideal case in real world. It comes along with the desiness that wins hearts.

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The graph sadly goes down for director (due to first half). Other areas stand justified.

Music: It was average. Acting: Varun is worth mentioning. Others were good too.

Final Verdict: It is a success story of a family that wins heart. If you have time and money and looking for some entertainment do watch it. You won't be disappointed.

Director Sharat Katariya does take a few cinematic liberties, but there are enough real moments to move you. In a winning first half, he successfully establishes his main characters and their problems. Smart usage of humour in dialogues ups the entertainment quotient, even when the going gets tough for the characters. While the narrative doesn't get too preachy or predictable, the second half is simply convenient. Also, while Mauji's struggle for self-employment finds ample mention, there isn't much to justify his excellence in the craft, except his failed legacy. However, these are minor patches in the overall fabric of the film that is cut for entertainment. Sui Dhaaga is sewn together with strong performances and moments that tell a convincing story.

Sui Dhaaga falls well short of perfection, but it never comes unstuck. It passes muster as a wholesome entertainer embellished with humour, warmth, authentic emotional trappings and actors adept at going seamlessly along with the flow. Definitely worth the price of the ticket, if not more.

While the first half is filled with feel-good moments, the second half gets slightly indulgent as the plot veers towards suspension of disbelief, especially considering the grim economic climate.Sui Dhaaga is a wholesome entertainer which demands that you don't over-analyse it by pulling at its weak threads. It has its sparkling moments - mainly due to the performances of the actors and the nuggets of humour that are thrown in. So why not pin your hopes on Sui Dhaaga?

Director Sharat Kataria's last film, 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' was appreciated for his knack of capturing the small-town love story between a misfit couple. He brings similar authenticity to 'Sui Dhaaga'. With his writing, he crafts his characters with care and gives us a story that is heartwarming.The film brings back the combination of Sharat Kataria, Anu Malik and lyricist Varun Grover. Songs like 'Chaav Laga', 'Sui Dhaaga' to the foot tapping 'Sab Badhiya Hai' are high on melody and add to the texture of the film. Despite its minor flaws the movie is an engaging

It is always said that film making is all about details, once you miss something you are out of the game as audience will not miss it in the theatre. Sui Dhaaga is a perfect example of this. With some splendid acting, authentic sets, costume and makeup, this movie feels very real and has got its heart at the right place. But it is also true that whatever you do, you should not throw the logic out of the movie. That is what the director and writer Sharat Katariya should have been mindful of in the second half of the movie. The first half of Sui Dhaaga will win you all over with the emotions and chemistry between Mauji and Mamta, whereas the second half became victim of trying to be over melodramatic. Sharat made fatal screenplay mistakes in the second half which will erode away the emotional connect the audience has established with Mauji and Mamta. The best thing about the movie is that the performances of the cast have never been compromised. Varun Dhawan has given his life's best performances and hasn't given any hint of his glamorous image which he has got among his fans. Anushka Sharma like always lived the role of Mamta as it was designed for her only. The credit for making this movie watchable despite its flaws has to be also given to its supporting cast. Raghuvir Yadav is again in form after Newton. After Varun Dhawan and Anushka, the performance that made the movie look so real and close to the heart is the performance of Yamini Das as Mauji's mother. Overall the movie would have been a very satisfying watch but unfortunately loses its track in the second half.
