Sui Dhaaga :Made in India | Did Varun-Anushka turned convincing Desi Entrepreneur?

"Ab Zindigi ke safar me th chalna padega paidal, Chahe mile ya na mile medal"

With something like this line the latest trailer of Varun Dhawan, Anushka Sharma starrer movie Sui-Dhaaga concludes. Inspired by the government’s ‘Make in India’ campaign, Sui Dhaaga sheds light on the life and struggles of artisans who ensure their art of embroidery doesn’t die.

The makers of  'Dum Lagake Haisa' is again ready to rock the silver screen with yet another simple but lovely aspiring story of Mauji aka Varun Dhawan, a skilled tailor's journey from a dust to a crown's jewel with the help and constant inspiration from his wife Mamta aka Anushka Sharma.

True to his name, he enjoys any work given to him. He does all kinds of jobs and is even treated badly by his masters, still he smiles.

She helps him start his own venture which later expands into a small-handloom industry. The story doesn't end here as the trailer suggests.


Let's talk about the Trailer  :
With the catch line of "kyu ji?.....sab badhiya hai.!" the trailer ends and we could not figure out whether the phrase should end with a question mark or exclamation mark. This line stands a significant role in the movie. We the common man of common crowd tend to accept everything, thinking whatever is happening is for good. thus believing "sab badhiya hai". This is why we feel the phase has been used again and again in the trailer to emphasize that its the story of yet another common man's journey. 

The trailer starts like a story should start, first setting the background by telling how Chajju Ram went bankrupt leading its family in poverty while Mauji has still contended by whatever hardship he does. Next, we are introduced to his wife Mamta. She is depicted like a wife in village area should be-HOUSE-wife, in one word. He doesn't get to hang out with her too much. He is abused by his boss and disbelieved by his father too, still, he has contended. This is a thought of a common man who is happy with whatever he has, who never has a hunger for more.

We liked the lack of make-up on Anushka's face and the mustache on Varun's. Desi look that must be admitted.

The same is the case for Mauji, while his wife doesn't like him being getting insulted every day. Thus she enlightened him with an idea that he should start his own tailor shop. Though doubting on himself he is ready to accept the idea. Thus growing a small handloom company, where he must face some difficulty and thus restarting the whole project on his own forming a company "Sui-Dhaaga: Made in India"

➜ Suggested Reading: 

The good and best part of the movie is its simplicity. We liked the lack of make-up on Anushka's face and the mustache on Varun's. Thier timing of dialogue delivery and emotions on their face especially of Muji's.He is our favorite man in the movie apart from Raghuveer sir. He is shameless and ever smiling and happy-natured-man. Everything is perfect. The story would be great no doubt about that but the Voice department is the place where I felt more work needs to be done. Like the innocence that Mauji's voice rather narrative should be felt is not felt in ears. His voice to us felt more like an adult trying to emulate a kid. His voice didn't felt that lost that his character is being depicted. Anushka Sharma though flawless in her acting and dialogue delivery, we at spillreview felt that she needs to get into the character more. Every time she is given this type of role she looks 'made up' or 'plastic' in our language. Take her role in Sultan. But that doesn't mean she is not looking good in this movie. She does cent percent judgment to her character.

Although we failed to point a major flaw, they were not as much convincing entrepreneur as the character of Akshay Kumar in 'Padman' was.

The inspiring music in the background is another thing that we at spillreview loved. Which means background score may have been taken well care of. 

Director Sharat Kataruya does deserve a spill for his venture 'Sui Dhaaga'.

We always loved him for his simplistic movies.

Anyway, let's see if everything's badhiya?

Manmarziyaan trailer: Will Abhishek, Tapsee and Vicky showcase a love triangle again?

Manmarziyaan trailer is out and with it, Junior Bachchan is ready to rock again.

Though we still have some doubts.

The duo of Abhishek Bachchan and Vicky Kausal will be seen romancing Tapsee Pannu. Thus forming an intense Love triangle. Or might not be an intense one?

Produced by Anand L Rai and Phantom Films, the movie is scheduled for a September 14 release. The trailer says the movie is nothing new to be talked about. Like every new month or so we see a new love triangle story on the silver screen. Don't we? But the question is will this movie have something new in it? At spillreview, we didn't find anything interesting or new at all. What we felt about the movie was a strong cocktail of 'Tannu wed Mannu' and 'hum dil de chuke Sanam' or more or less 'Dhadkan'.

Let's talk about the Trailer  :

Though we don't feel doing a trailer analysis of this movie since there is nothing to be talked about still we did it only for Vishal Kaushal and Anurag Kashyup.The trailer is straight and simple most of the time. At the end of the trailer would be able to plot out the storyline by yourself too.Let's not talk about the storyline but the worst thing and the thing that they shouldn't have shown is the last seen where Tapsee and Junior Bachchan is seen walking. Later we come to know that they are out for their Honeymoon. Here. Here, we feel the whole spice of the movie is been leaked in just a few seconds. The storyline is repetitious yet the trailer until the end was interesting and everything looked nice but those few seconds totally drudged out want to go to the theatre to watch. Truly speaking we as an audience(spillreveiew) feels no spice or attracting factor there in the plot.Right from the beginning Vicky Kaushal man of the hour and Tapsee Pannu in  her happy-go-lucky avatar along with  Junior Bachchan, who is returning to the screen after two years in his turban look was capable of holding our interest and at a point made us think rather want to know at the end who gets to win Tapsee. In this type of plot based on the love triangle, it is very necessary to not tell the audience the outcome of the struggle.

Yes, and did we tell you that both the three of them look engrossed and good in their roles.They migh surprise us with a twist in the tale. Who knows?

Anyway, Let's see who is more complicated. People or love!

‘Batti Gul Meter Chalu’ trailer : Shahid Kapoor to fight for the power-theft issue?

With ‘Batti Gul Meter Chalu’, 'Toilet Ek Prem Katha' maker is all ready to explore the issue of power theft in small towns of India; starring Shahid Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor and Yami Gautam in the lead roles.

Undoubtedly it is one of the most common yet most unexplored issues in Indian cinema.

Trailer analysis :

The trailer starts with a punch. Shahid in a washroom peeing while the power is cut off. We already know what can be the real issue later by just watching the first few seconds of the movie- that is power theft.

First few second is also crafted carefully to showcase the friendship between Shahid Kapoor and Divyendu Sharma. They are 'bust-friend' actually; more than a friend I guess they meant.

There should be no doubt regarding Divyendu Sharma who seems fit for his character and will do justice. We have seen him previously in supporting roles in movies like Pyar ka Punchnama, Chasme Baddo, and Toilet.

Next, we are shown the romantic and humorous side of the movie. Though in this type of movie humor is something that will play the key recipe, we at spillreview believe. Shahid would Romance Shraddha, that should not last long as the very next moment the trailer turns a serious turn. How his friend sets up a printing business which soon comes under heavy debt for the high electricity bill.

Next few scenes in the movie are dedicated to the Shahid Kapoor who will take revenge for his friend's suicide.

Courtroom scenes, strong dialogues and light-humor in between will surely make the movie more awesome.

Story prediction :
The plot is simple and mostly rather completely evident in the trailer. That was the only negative point about the trailer we felt.
So the story could start with Shahid and Divyendu shown as two fast friends and how the other one helps to get a girl whom Shahid loves. Thier friendship must be shown as this is the concrete base for the second half. The first half should not constitute anything more than comedy, friendship, and love; how Karan(Divyendu) sets up a business. Interval some serious turn should have formed. Karan is bound to get into trouble as his company is about to gets closed since the electricity bill is so high. He may have tried to point against it but failed to cope thus a suicide. From here Shahid takes the lead again. Next 45 mins should be based on how Shahid takes the revenge for his friend and teaches a lesson to the board. 

Courtroom scenes always excite us. Big thumbs up to that.

Courtroom scenes, strong dialogues and light-humor in between will surely make the movie more awesome.
Though a common storyline it seems, how good is it executed is the question that should attract most of the crowd. We, at spillreview, loved the trailer and is keen for the release. From the trailer, the movie seems well executed.

Saheb Biwi Aur Ganster 3 | Details | Review | Story, Cast and Crew, Release Date

Movie: Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3(2018)

Directors: Tigmanshu Dhulia

Cast : Sanjay Dutt, Aditi Rao Hydari, Chitrangada Singh, Jimmy Shergill
Crew: Sanjay Chauhan, Tigmanshu Dhulia.(Writer), Rana Mazumder, Aanjan Bhattacharya, Siddharth Pandit
(Musician), Pravin Angre (Editor), Rahul Mittra(Producer)

Language: Hindi

Genre: Action, Thriller
Release Date: 27th July 2018
Spill Rating: 2.5 out of 5

Story-Byte:
The royal saga of deceit, conspiracy, greed and lust continues in the third installment of the film series, as the Saheb and Biwi are pitted against a foe who is dreaded by one and all. With everyone involved scheming ruthlessly for their own personal gain, the cloak-and-dagger game is about to take a dark and bloody turn.

Overall Review :
Royal revenge, plotting, conspiracy, greed, lust - if these are the words that fascinated you about the just-released movie 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3', you'll be sorely disappointed.

As the movie promised to deliver a story of revenge, the royal saga of deceit, conspiracy, greed, and lust; there was all but then nothing. From the very beginning, you would not be able to see any plus scenes rather the characters looked tired and under-developed. Since the movie is the third installment in the series no doubt the expectations were high; The first two editions of this film were very interesting and set some great benchmarks for the thriller -action-drama genre. But the third installment has clearly fallen short of expectations. 

Actor-Director duo of Sanjay Dutt and Tighmanshu seemed incompatible. Some scenes just happen with no logic or reason.

Tighmanshu 's 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3' delivers nothing new movie being revolving around the central character saheb's biwi, Madhavi Devi, played by Mahie Gill and Saheb aka Aditya Pratap Singh played by Jimmy Sheirgill plotting and planning to deprive and eliminate each other in their quest for power and supremacy.

Then there is Yuvraj Uday Singh, another branch of this royal family; a mighty stylish gangster and a roulette expert who has earned his fortunes by winning the deadly games of Russian roulette taking shade in London. He is madly in love with his mistress Mona (Chitrangda Singh) which makes him leave his family.

This is when we are introduced to Saheb of the movie (Jimmy Shergill) being incubated in the jail. Thus hinting that this movie is a sequel, as said, to its predecessor which to be honest looks awfully stretched and unnecessary. the movie could have been a fresh start. Coming back to the plot, on the other hand, Saheb's first wife is seen as a politician having her own reach and reputation that she uses mightly to halt his husband's stay at jail more. But things get fairly interesting when Saheb is set free and returns back to his humungous haveli; two sharing the same roof - one a sly cat and other an injured tiger as said 'Gill and Sher-Gill' in the trailers.

Director seems confused here when he deports Sanjay Dutt back to India as an escape plan for he killed an important Whitman. Is he being shown as a powerful man who can escape laws too?

Though Dutt has done this kind of roles earlier, he looks tired here. He is apt for the role but the director and actor duo seems incompatible; Dhulia failed to use him as a perfect tool. Dutt sometimes looks lost in stylish-dashing gangster role.

Soha Ali Khan as Saheb’s biwi no.2 Ranjana is wasted, literally and figuratively. Rest of the supporting cast - Kabir Bedi, Nafisa Ali and Deepak Tijori are adequately cast as the royal family of Boondigarh, where many characters do nothing but stretching and making the first half of the movie a lazy. Second half being a victim of a weak script. Dhulia seems to have been in dilemma as to where an actor would look perfect thus taking too much of screen time to develop each character. Lots of scenes were unnecessary and forcefully linking this movie to its predecessor was a negative point.  

The movie could have been much better and interesting had some plus point been added and forcefully linking of characters from its predecessor been avoided other than not stretching the movie by item numbers and unnecessary scenes.

Final Spill Verdict :
Overall, 'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3' fails to carry the legacy of deceit, conspiracy, greed, and lust forward. It tries very hard to keep you engrossed at times but the film mostly drags which adds to the boredom and tedious viewing.

The final question ' Is it the royal saga of conspiracy and deceit that will hold you at seats?'

• Yes if you are a die-hard fan of  'Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3'. For common public like us, it will be just another movie in the action-thriller genre.
• Somewhat no because the first two editions of this film were very interesting and they set some great benchmarks for the thriller -action-drama genre. But the third installment has clearly fallen short of expectations

Should I watch? 

Go watch the movie for Gill and Gill(Jimmy Shergill and Mahie Gill). They deserve it. Definitely a one-time watch movie with no expectation.

Language: Hindi

Genre: Comedy, Horror
Release Date: 31th August 2018
Rating: 

Story-Byte:
In the town, there are fables of this strange woman who calls men by their name and abducts them, leaving their clothes behind. Nobody knows any facts - and those who are abducted seldom show up to tell stories - but the fear is palpable. Everybody diligently makes sure the inscription O Stree, Kal Aana (O Woman, Come Tomorrow) is written on their walls, and at night try and stay indoors. 

Stree is a horror comedy about an urban legend in Chanderi and how people deal with it.

Overall Review :

The story is of Chander Village of Madhya Pradesh where every year a fair or 'Devi puja' is being conducted in which those four days a  witch is rumored to be abduction males of the village. To save themselves from her, the villagers have carved 'stree kal aana' in the walls of their house seeing which stree doesn't come. Now how this village is saved from it is the remaining part of the story!

Although in the past we haven't seen any such successful movies in this genre, stree movie stands out of all those. ‘Stree’ is a horror comedy that will keep you completely entertained. Amar Kaushik’s debut film has a rare mix of really scary moments salted with a good amount of humor.

Rajkumar Rao as always has shone in this movie too. His dialogue delivery and presence of scene is commendable. He does have some very big dialogues as well as greater screen space than any other actor and he hasn't wasted any of those moments. He does comedy too that is digestible as well.

Talking about Shraddha Kapoor she looks beautiful in the movie and she was given some unique scenes where she shows her ability and mettle. He is one such talented actor who knows how to incorporate face expression with what is the background of the scene.

Pankaj Tripathi looks gracious as always. His Eminence has been spread too much and for a reason. in the movie he his seen with his regular type of role. his timing of dialogue delivery and express is what makes the movie more watchable. he definitely is one such star of the movie.

Abhishek Banerjee and Kumar shakti Khurrana add to the plus points of the movie. they add taste to the movie by delivering some good punch lines. they are also responsible for the humor in between the eerie scenes which makes this movie a successful horror comedy movie.

Other good aspects of the movie are its Background department and Makeup Department, They do deserve a recognition. Music is another thing that helps a movie gaining some good points which this movie is successful in.

Although there is some error in the movie too we at spillreview feels this can be neglected and we should see in the good part of the movie. As this movie does perform well.

The thing we love about this movie is its morale delivering end. Other than being a complete masala entering movie the director has something to convey to its audience too which in most of the movie we miss.

Final Spill Verdict :
Overall, 'Stree ' is one such movie which will be taken as a lesson for the future movie in this genre. It does deliver what is expected from it. It will keep you, if not engrossed, at least hold at the chairs and carve for what is next going to happen.

The final question ' Will the 'mard feel dard' after spending on tickets of this movie?'

• The answer is a big NO. This is the movie you would feel worth watching even if you don't like any of the actors in the movie. The movie is well woven and does have something to say.
• Somewhat yes(= null void). 

Should I watch? 
I know you aren't waiting for my views. Presence of Rajkumar Rao is enough to attract you to the big screens. Go watch it. You won't regret!

Story-Byte: 
A sequel to the film Vishwaroop, which brewed political storm as soon as it was released. The film takes up from where the first ended. After escape from Omar, the story continues in India. The film explores the human relationship and its emotional angle.

Storyline:
An Afghani Al-Qaeda Jihadi Omar (Rahul Bose), his accomplice Salim (Jaideep Ahlawat) and their international terror network, plots to attack New York with a "Cesium-bomb". Vishwanath alias Wiz (Kamal Haasan) is a Kathak teacher who lives with his wife Nirupama (Pooja Kumar), a nuclear oncologist, in New York. Nirupama confides with a psychologist that it’s a marriage of convenience that provided her a safe haven for pursuing her Ph.D in the U.S. The age gap between them notwithstanding, she is put off by Vishwanath’s effeminate traits and is attracted to her boss, Deepak (Samrat Chakrabarti). Doubting whether her husband has secrets of his own, She hires a private investigator to trail him. She learns from the private investigator that Vishwanath is not a Hindu but a Muslim. In a sudden turn of events, the investigator gets killed by a member of the terrorist outfit led by Omar. A business card on his wallet gives away Nirupama and the terror group nabs the couple. The outfit operates from a warehouse on the outskirts of the city where the couple is being interrogated.
Vishwanath is involved in a fight with the terrorists at the warehouse and escapes with Nirupama. Omar and Vishwanath have a past, one that takes the story back by almost a decade, to the Al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan. What follows is a maze of events that go back and forth in time, unraveling a plot where in the terrorists are accumulating cesium from oncology devices to trigger a blast in New York.
Nirupama is stunned to discover the true identity of her husband Vishwanath, his uncle (Shekhar Kapur), American accomplice Dawkins (Miles Anderson) and the young dancer Ashmita (Andrea Jeremiah) at her husband’s dance school. Vishwanath is revealed to be Wisam,a Muslim RAW agent who married Nirupama to investigate Deepak and his boss Omar in connection with a bomb blast in the heart of New York. His mission is to bust the ‘sleeper-cell’ of the Jihadis in the US, which is planning to divert the attention through "capsules" capable of emitting mild nuclear radiation tied to pigeons in New York city while enabling Black (James Babson) to detonate the cesium bomb in the city.
Together, the team try to counter the plans of Omar and his group that could destroy the most of the New York city. In the ensuing events, Vishwanath is arrested by the FBI before being rescued by his uncle and Dawkins is murdered by Salim. Whether Vishwanath along with the FBI were able to stop the calamity to be unfolded forms the rest of the story.

Overall Review :
"Much expected movie but a less delevering !"
In one word this is what we at Spillreviews could say. The expectations were highs considering the fact that is a sequel or part 2 of the previous movie Vishwaroopam which was critically loved by the criotics as well as humbly recieved by the audience. But we as audeience felt a little cheated. Movie does have some Usp and great dialogue delivery and storyline but still movie felt loose to our eyes. Maybe mostly because the the bar of expectations being highen up by its predissor. 
What I would I say is definitely a watchable movie but a loose movie. Characters are not so powerful. They feels plastic and no real like- as was the case in Vishwaroopam 1.
Complex story-line which include flashbacks and pre-flashbacks ; although a unique way of telling a story looks tedious and not so impressive. Fight scenes and actions were its USP's but that too is not useful featuring not required addition of sub-plots.

Final Spill Verdict :
Overall, 'Vishwaroop 2' could have been a great and applauding movie but its lagging and stretched 1st half, loose and not so powerful characters don't give us the treat we expected from the Vishwaroop 2, considering its part was was so awesome.

The final question ' Is it the spy-thriller that was missing and we wanted to watch?'

• No, not really would be my answer. It was stretched too much and its complicated way of storytelling may not be welcomed with open arms by the common audiences. Although a deserving movie it failed to impress some of the reputed critics and us too.
• From us, go watch or not should definately be your desicion. We were not greatly impressed with the movie although a deserving movie.

Should I watch? 

Go watch the movie for finding out the flaws at-least and for Kamal Hasaan and Rahul Bose in a cameo. Only Kamal Hasaan in the lead roles is someone to watch,who could impress.

It receives two spill batches from us:

Happy watching !
