Anupam Kher, Ali Fazal, Rhea Chakraborty, and Raghav Juyal in Sonali Cable (2014)

Sonali, a spunky self-made internet operator, proudly runs a small outfit along with her band of ghetto boys catering to a sprawling Mumbai suburb. Complications arise when Sonali's childhood sweetheart, Raghu returns from the United States and helps bring her small enterprise into the twenty first century. But not all forces of modernization are as kind and as loving as Raghu. SHINING INC, a huge corporation wants her out to complete their monopoly of Shining Broadband in the city. Sonali refuses... and it's war! This is a character driven, edgy survival drama of an ordinary girl, a sizzling love interest and her rag-tag family of internet cable technicians for whom Sonali Cable Centre is more than a livelihood... it's their home.

A light-hearted feel-good drama

Sonali Cable is a fine movie with lots of good moments. A must-watch for a break from the regular commercial Bollywood movies. Each and every actor has done a great job. Rhea as the protagonist Sonali is especially a delight to watch. Not to forget Ali Fazal as Raghu and Raghav Juyal as Sadaa. Such movies should be watched on television and apreciated.

It is entangled

There is an idea in the name of story. Screenplay is forced. Nothing appealing in dialogues even. Every possible twist is tried to incorporate without justifying them. There is love, politics, murder, hacking and fight for existence. I was unable to understand the title itself and remained so after watching the film. Every big company wants to undertake or buy a small venture by hook or crook, its very old thing but there was nothing new so I could feel attached with the fight for survival of Sonali Cable. Female protagonist introduced while jumping one roof to another like cakewalk. I was expecting some realistic touch from this movie but this shot shattered my expectation. Cuts from one scene to another are beautiful. Love is second plot but it is assumed that they are in love rather than showing some beautiful romantic moments. Performance wise Ali Fazal as Raghu is OK. Reah Chakraborty as Sonali is fine. An actor who played Bobby Bose is impressive. Raghav Juyal as Sada is very good. Anupam Kher is just OK.

Ok for 1 time watch

A simple movie that mainly Mumbaikars might be able to connect..it could have been better..shows how politics and goondagardi exists in every walk of life nowadays..the supporting starcast are ace actors..leads are just ok...Rhea's attempt to speak Mumbai ya English seems to be forced.. are the reviewers here confusing Raja Kher with Anupam Kher..he is a good actor bit gone over the top here...just ok for a 1 time watch.

Good movie

good movie. Indian audience love to see big stars blunders so they might don't like this movie but movie is good and sensible unlike big projects in bollywood. Although all actors are not good but overall I enjoyed the movie. These types of movies are keeping bollywood's image. Else big projects are ruining it.

A good attempt .......

Bollywood is the biggest movie industry in the world where each Friday churns out a new genre of films. Sonali Cable is a daring attempt never seen before on Indian Cinema. Unfortunately it has few moments to hold your attention.

A small-time cable shop is threatened by a big tycoon who is willing to take over the city of Mumbai. Sonali Cable tells the story of young and dynamic Sonali who must survive the wave and get back her shop which she proudly runs.

I would like to mention here that as a first time director Cahurdutt Acharya has put in a sincere efforts. Full marks should be given to him for tackling the story so efficiently. The cinematography of the flick is an average. Background score is poor. The screenplay could have been a bit tighter. Rhea Chakraborty is a fine actress. She plays the chirpy yet fiery role with aplomb. Ditto goes for the performance by the rest of the star cast.

Overall, the movie is a decent watch. You may want to give it a try. Decent – 2.75 / 5
