All audience reviews of Sui Dhaaga

There are some movies where midway we regret our choice and want to leave.
There are other movies where we say that it is an OK movie and sit through it.
There are a few movies where we exclaim " Wah Kya movie hai. Every department is excellent.".
This is one such movie.
Just 15 minutes into this film and one perceives an all round excellence in all departments of film making right from the smart direction,fluid camerawork, realistic acting, and crisp dialogue. The daily chatter of a busy household introduces us to the characters at play with a voice over of Varun Dhawan.
This is one more excellent film on the victory of the underdogs overcoming multiple obstacles ( some man made and some destiny created) over a period of time. The story is about a low income group family struggling to make ends meet in a town. The elderly couple ( Raghuvir Yadav and Yamini Das) has two married sons. The elder son Varun and his wife Anushka stay with them while the younger son lives separately in the neighbourhood.
Varun is shown as a lowly paid employee in a local shop who is forced to act as a buffoon for the amusement of his employers.When his wife exhorts him to earn a decent livelihood he starts off as a roadside tailor. Later after an enormous amount of struggle along with his wife he sees success as a leader of a motley group of start up dress designers.
Director Sharat Katariya proves a competent director as he unfolds the story in an interesting and visually compelling manner. He has extracted superb performances from the leading couple and all other character actors. I feel it Vaun's and Anushka's best performance so far. They have done a splendid job. The film has excellent music and technical values specially cinematography and editing. less

The majority judgment in the Aadhaar case opined that ' the concept of Aadhaar is unique ,though not best'.Implying that it has no better alternative ,though there's scope for improvement.
For Sui Dhaaga this writer would go a step further- it's unique and best.
Why?
The theme,presentation,social relevance,the casting and A list performers accepting such roles is unique.Couldn't find any flaw in all departments of film making ,hence there isn't scope for improvement.
What's Sui Dhaaga all about?
There's a dysfunctional low income family in Delhi.It's Karta ( Raghuvir Yadav),a fussy and irritating person has retired from a petty job and received a modest post retirement dues.He isn't prepared with his life's savings on ' Ghar ka kharcha'.He implores upon his tenth pass son Mauji( Varun Dhawan) to look for any decent job and contribute to the family's expenditure fund which would sustain his spouse Mamta( Anyshka Sharma) and the aged mother.
He begins with working for a sewing machine shop as a helper with hardly any income.The employer humiliates him throughout.Leaves his job.It's back to square one.
A stage comes when Mauji's mother suffers a heart attack.Husband still doesn't want to spend.
Mauji has no choice except to sit on the foot path as a darji( his family's skill).Work for a ' Make in China' branded clothing outfit.Still exploited.Fed up with all this he himself becomes an enterpreneur,takes the assistance of all out of jobwallaha guys and gals into his fold.Wins a fashion show against the branded outfits.
Being empowered he's now prepared to face all challenges .The dysfunctional extended family gets United.A happy ending.
Moral of the story? Never get disheartened despite adversities.Better to be self employed using your enherited skills.
Why Sui Dhaaga scores high? Varun Dhawan improved upon his uncoventional performance of October.He's in the class of Akshay Kumar and Rajkummar Rao so far as performance in socially relevant film is concerned .All others are also tops and as real as real can be.Scripting is in sink with the theme.Direction is also tops.The theme song Sui Dhaaga is well choreographed ( Dinesh Master),written,( Varun Grover)and composed ( Annual Malik).
It must be ensured that the leakages in Ayushman Bharat health scheme corruption ,leakages and unnessary proceedures are avoided so that the R5Lac health insurance is well utilised.( In Sui Dhaaga it's well documented how patients are duped and billing is much higher than what the ailment needs at the minima.
All in all SD is not to be missed. less

With Sui Dhaaga: Made In India, Mamta (Anushka Sharma) and Mauji (Varun Dhawan) are here with us now to entertain us with a bunch of comedy moments with an emotional love track that fires up the dream of Mauji. Both the actors are in full form and brilliant performance will stun your mind. The way they keep up the warmth and love will clearly make your face glow when you will come out of the theatre. However, the story can serve you more. Critical problem with the movie is that it is completely predictable. You can think of the story miles before it appears on the screen. So, it might bore you for a moment.
Raghubir Yadav, Mauji’s bauji is on the edge of retirement but still add to the list of naysayers when Mauji tries to start his own business. Mamta and Mauji get parted by fight but come together again show their strong bond. Director Sharat Kataria gives us many social messages in a packed movie. The movie not only gives us the courage to go for our dream but also gives us a lesson to create non-violent victory story. Though Varun Dhavan, as Mauji played an unemployed man role and defies all the odds to open his own garment business, the second half of the movie is a major trouble. Anyhow, "sab badhiya hai" dialogue will light up your mind in Mauji's tough circumstances. Moreover, it neither has any overblown drama nor any weepy speech, but charming in its simplicity. less

A story of self- reliance, hard work, struggle and pride, Sui- Dhaaga based on government’s Make in India initiative finds its beauty in simplicity but becomes dramatic.
Mauji (Varun Dhawan) is an illiterate young man who is stuck in a low paying job with a boss who makes him work like a dog and give no deserving respect to his labour. His wife Mamta (Anushka Sharma) who he hasn’t even touched has her life revolving around domestic chores. It is Mamta who encourages Mauji to come out of his job and do something of his own in tailoring business. Together, they explore all the struggle and hardships. Will they make it? That is for the audience to see.
Film in its narration and depiction of lower middle class household and the struggle faced by them is quite realistic and believable. There is Mauji who slogs hard to make the two ends meet, Mamta who generally finds her place in the kitchen, Mauji’s father who keeps taunting and critiquing his son and his mother whose main concern lies in drawing enough water before the municipality’s tap runs out of it.
You see Mauji depicted as one talented craftsman. His Mamta constantly reminds him this too to motivate him further. But there is no proof or depiction of that talent in the movie which make it believable. It comes out as just another made up and cliché plot. As much as the setup is refreshing, the plot is predictable.
The chemistry between Varun and Anushka as husband and wife is quite naturally built up. In Mauji’s journey of becoming self- reliant, you see a bond of love building between him and Mamta which was earlier not present due to various constraints. Two of them totally internalized their characters and their simplicity totally won away our hearts.
Not to forget, Raghubir Yadav and Yamini Das work best in their roles and only add to the film. It is great to see more and more supporting casts making their presence felt amidst established main leads.
All in all, Sui- Dhaaga by Sharat Katariya is a heartwarming tale of self reliance with a background of growing love story but has not much to offer as far as the story line is concerned. less

September was very kind for movie lovers, This week's Sui dhaga starring Varun Dhavan and Anushka sharma was one from the kind team. A word to define this movie is beauty wrapped in Dhaga. The real hero of the movie was its writer, Sharat Katariya. The story shows the struggle of a happy go lucky Mauji from small town, where the whole colony tailors are suffering from the increasing industry of ready made clothes. The subtle romance and supporting relation of Mamta and mauji is so heart touching, it will be in your heart even after the movie finishes. The type of relation between Mamta and Mauji is so fresh and new in the movie. A piece by papon- Chav Laga just compliments them to the fullest. The struggle to do something to make his parents proud, Mauji somewhere connects to everyone, one way or another.

The movie is able to give the message it was meant to and did not go out of track, it also showed how some talented workers are exploited by rich people.

Varun did a fabulous job, by far my fav performance from him. He was so simple and natural, you might almost forget he is varun and might feel like you are watching a story of a real person, within the 5 minutes in movie and you will fall in love with Mauji, feeling every pain and happiness throughout the movie.For every time he gets angry on screen was a funny yet heart breaking scene. Varun really connects to you. Anushka as mamta did a great job too, the simplicity and subtle maturity will leave you impressed and might make you want a campanion like her. The scenes between them was full of chemistry and in a scene when Mauji gets angry and shouts on Mamta, it felt just like a real couple.

The movie creates tension but pinch of combacks will leave you giggling. Just when audience expect the scenes to go more serious, Mauji's comeback was a relief.The movie also gives a great message by resolving the issues of brothers and father- son without violence and by love.
The movie was a bit streched and the second part was so rushed, it felt like director forget it being a 3 hour movie and then suddenly realised the same. 70% of movie it was so simple and straight but the last 20% of movie was far far from reality, but or kya kahe, baki sab badiya h! less

The first thing that will stay with you after watching Sui Dhaaga is the warmth and sweetness of the couple called Mamta and Mauji. The chemistry between the two is wonderful and is driven with such subtle maturity by director Sharat Kataria.
The movie is the story of a dreamer and happy go lucky Mauji who is thankful for his circumstances and keeps saying badhiya hai even when faced with tough circumstances. It is through his dreaming and never say die that an entire family and a colony which gets devastated because tailoring is hit by readymade clothes find its redemption. Sure some of you might find the climax slightly indigestible but then this movie is about hope being stronger than facts.
This movie is also a little about why bitterness and violence should not be allowed to win and the director drives that message through subtle moments about how two fighting brothers just bury the hatchet just like that. How a cynic father decides to help his son and become his support.
This movie has some very well written comedy moments too like mamta’s hand still being stuck in the pickle jar when the mother in law is in hospital.
The most endearing part of Sui Dhaaga is its performances. Varun Dhawan is brilliant as Mauji and within 20 minutes of the movie you are with Dhawan in his pains,happiness and moments of joy. Anushka as Mamta is sincere and in some scenes like where she tries to get the sewing machine of her husband back she is brilliant. Raghubir Yadav is the show stopper as the cynical father and characters like Palte Ram are very nicely written.
This movie could remind you of any low income group society or colony in India. Where people turn petty and large hearted in moments. They Fight and the come together. This movie is in some way a nice story written around human goodness.
Sui Dhaaga can surprise you and entertain you if you walk in with expectations in check. Surely recommended as a family watch.
