Hush Hush

Web series review: Hush Hush Streaming on Prime Video #sanjuzzreviews #HushHushOnPrime #hushhush #primevideo Directed by Tanuja Chandra Hush Hush is a strong female oriented crime thriller.

4 bff's - Juhi Chawla (Ishi), Shahana Goswami( Zaira), Soha Ali Khan ( Saiba) & Kritika Kamra (Dolly) from influential backgrounds attend a high profile party where a murder is committed by one of them. Ishi is also found dead later that night under suspicious circumstances. The other 3 friends are slowly sucked into a web of blackmail, lies and deceit which wrecks havoc in their so called idyllic lives.

Was Ishi murdered or did she commit suicide?

What were the circumstances that lead to her grim fate. These are the questions that the series attempts to answer.

Delicate topics like same sex relationships, child abuse, dysfunctional families , women's empowerment & toxic patriarchy have been well presented. Hard hitting stuff .. Kudos to the director!!

Casting is bang on , all 4 protagonists have played their parts well. Ayesha Jhulka(Meera) as Juhi's childhood friend and Karishma Tanna (Geeta) as a no nonsense Haryanvi cop investigating the case also play an important part in the narrative.

On the flip side the makers have kept the story open ended when there was no reason to do so, thereby paving the way for a second season!!

Overall Hush Hush has strong content and definitely bingewatch worthy. Go for it, You won't be disappointed!!

3.5 /5 stars from me .. adios 🙂!!

Although the reviews were bad still I watched this series because of the star studded cast.

The series started off well, and it was quite engaging. I kept wondering why did people give bad review. But then I think around episode five the director started smoking cheap stuff 😂😂

The story is everywhere. There are so many loophole that viewers will scratch their heads to understand what is happening. Maybe the writer changed... One time Meera asks for Ishi's help, and is all lovey dovey, but in the next episode she does not want to do anything with Ishi.

It makes me wonder why do they force LGBT in every movie or programme?

Series stars well with all elements of a thriller in start but the story stretched after this without any reason . I think makers made this season keeping in mind the sequel due to which this part seems incomplete even though there was efforts to give a logical ending.

Tanuja Chandra after a long time brought complexity of women's life woven with a murder mystery but even after good performances by Soha Ali Khan Pataudi, Shahana Goswami, Karishma Tanna ,Kritika Kamra and Ayesha Jhulka the entire act remain Hush- Hush. Hope season 2 uplift the plot in a better way because there are lots of possibilities of interesting outcome.

Right from the Pilot episode till the last one, I can say "Episodes are elongated too much with poor acting and not up-to-the-mark suspense.

There is no need of releasing Season 2 based on a little mystery at the end...Plots and twists are somehow common and there is nothing new in them.

I would recommend this series when you have nothing else to watch. And for those who have started watching, God bless you with superb patience and my suggestion is to just finish the whole season at one go rather than stop watching after 2 to 3 episodes. The plot of the series is pretty old and all have tried their best I must say at the end... But there is always a But...

The story of this series is pretty old and nothing unique.

The series starts off in the most snail slow pace i have ever seen in recent times. It will test your patience like anything for atleast 4 episodes. To add salt to inury, the conversations are so damn boring and uninteresting that atleast in the 1st episode before the plot is established in the final few mins, you will doze off. They have literally stitched the boring moments one after the other. You will also find those typical feminist conversations like talks about v**ina, talks about men etc.

The climax is bizzare and leaves the series open for a s2 which i will not watch because it tested my patience so bad that i felt i wasted my time watching this series.

Watch only if you can bear the excruciatingly painful pace of this series.
