Sui Dhaaga – Made In India
Critic reviews and ratings
-
If there has been a Hindi film this year that has managed to keep me constantly smiling like an idiot yet always on the verge of tears the way this Sharat Katariya film does, I do not remember it.
-
Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma portray the world of Sui Dhaaga with a gentleness that turns everything it touches into gold.
-
...is sewn together with strong performances and moments that tell a convincing story.
-
...is a simple tale told beautifully with strong emphasis on emotions.
-
...is a film stitched together beautifully. All for Mauji, Mamta and their tireless drive to be “Made in India”, Sharat Katariya’s latest is worth the watch!
-
For a movie that stays so true to reality throughout, a few moments towards the climax are the only time a very “filmi” note is struck. But in a wholly heartwarming tale, it's such a small misstep, it barely counts as one.
-
...gives his viewers a classic story of struggle and persistence. The film culminates in a predictable climax, but that does not diminish the experience of soaking in Sui Dhaaga.
-
...is a well-meaning, simply woven, feel-good entertainer that delivers as much as it promises.
-
...is unsatisfying but also poignant.
-
...has everything a feel good family movie should have, it’s an inspiring tale as well with moments but lacks the fresh breeze of air and individuality which Dum Laga Ke Haisha had – the common love for Kumar Sanu for example.
-
Sharat Katariya’s brushstrokes in 'Sui Dhaaga' may have got much more broad than in his previous outing but you still end up caring for his characters
-
What eventually endures isn’t the inevitable heart-warming finale but the honesty of the writing and the performances and the subversions, minor and major.
-
Kudos to writer and director Sharat Katariya for coming up with such a rooted tale. And kudos to Varun Dhawan for agreeing to be part of it. He has tried something totally new for him here.
-
...so rewarding, so amusing, so steeped in tenderness, affection for the characters and positivity that it makes the ride with Mamta, Mauji and their charmingly eccentric family and friends completely worth it.
-
A surprise-free drama that’s well-acted, sweet-natured, and quite satisfying.
-
The unimpressive climax is disjointed, a far cry from the tone the film carried up until then. Despite its rousing moments, the film leaves you feeling unfulfilled.
-
...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.
-
...is well made. It’s nice and safe and staid. There are several moments that warm the heart, and you cheer when sui-dhaaga win over needle-and-thread. But you always knew they were going to, didn’t you?
-
Finesse comes through in language, costumes, and even performances. Not so much in the story writing or telling.
-
This could have been a neatly-stitched up narrative with its well-meaning message about the spirit of entrepreneurship, but sadly it unravels in its troubling second half.
-
In spite of mediocre humour and the predictable conclusion, Sui Dhaaga is a story worth investing in for all the fine instances of pathos.
-
...is a feel-good film about dignity of labour, and the honest toil of a hard-working tailor. Too bad it feels machine-made.
-
...is a film that starts well, but eventually disappoints.
