Sui Dhaaga Movie Review: A Praiseworthy And Honest Attempt To Honor The Skill, Talent, Hard Work And Creativity Of The Craftsmen Belonging To The Heartland Of India!

The film revolves around the daily tribulations in the life of Mauji( Varun Dhawan) who is too cheerful and optimistic to pay any heed to it and shrugs them off with his 'Sab Badhiya Hain' approach. He has to battle a tiresome journey on his cycle to travel to his workplace, his employer who often does not think twice before humiliating him for his own entertainment, numerous taunts from his father, deteriorating health of his mother and a marriage without any companionship or intimacy. The distance between him and his wife Mamta (Anushka Sharma) further increases due to the countless chores she has to perform endlessly in a day until an eye opening incident with his boss finally opens his eye and he decides to embark on a journey of entrepreneurship with the support of his wife. It is this trial and tribulations which he faces on this tedious path which forms the main crux of the story. 

The film depicts a myriad of emotions and characters. Varun Dhawan is the innocent,  child like and free spirited Mauji where he showcases an effortlessly endearing and honest act while Anushka Sharma is captivating and surreal as the compassionate Mamta. She manages to look convincing and real sans makeup, clad in a simple saree in the entire film. The duo don't have your quintessential romantic scenes but still their relationship manages to look convincing in a pure and innocent way. The supporting cast comprising of Raghubir Yadav as Mauji's father has literally breathe life to his character pessimistic father but if there's one person who steals the show, it is Yamini Das who plays Mauji's mother as every moment of her screen presence is endearing, adorable and realistic at the same time. 

There are several earthy and heart wrenching moments spun out by director Sharat Katariya which are bound to pull at your heartstrings. The first half predominantly deals with the hardships and complexities of the lead protagonists in the most provoking manner. There is a balance in the right amount of satire and humor in the dialogues which add to the beauty. The soundtracks add as a suitable catalyst to the plot especially the song Tera Chav Laga sung by Papon and Ronkini Gupta is surreal and pleasing as well as further establishes Mamta and Mauji's relationship. The second half is acceptable and favorable without getting too moralising. The only minor flaw is the lack of depth into the intricacies of Mauji's skill and creativity, there could've been a bigger picture to that. But despite of this, Sui Dhaaga is refreshing with its passionate performances and an impressive story.
