Last evening I went to INOX in City Centre to watch a much talked about film, “Saas Bahu aur SENSEX” which turned out to be disappointing. The high point was before the movie at KFC; Two Tangy Zingers, French Fries and Coke made up for the visit to this side of town.
Though the name invokes images of warring mothers and daughter-in-laws and the effervescent graph of the stock markets, the movie is like the flat line of a cardiograph connected to a dead patient.
I sat through the movie expecting to laugh through it. I think I did for a brief three seconds and it was back to the same drab acting and storyline. Though Kiron Kher as Mrs. Binita Sen looks elegant, her effort to portray a Bengali lady falls short with a bit too much of “Shona” and the other “daak naams” ( pet names ) seem too forced. Of course that doesn’t take away from her ability to hold her ground as a superb actor. The other noteworthy character is that of Farouque Sheikh playing Mr. Firoz Setna, her stockbroker.
Masumeh and Tanushree are there for eye candy if at all anyone really thinks they are “HOT”? The other characters all just get waylaid by the weak script and direction of the movie. I really don’t know if it’s worth mentioning names such as Sharon Prabhakar and Lilette Dubey who also have substantial roles in the movie.
Phew! Thank God I bought all that Popcorn and Coke. It got me through this movie. Did I mention there were all of eight people in the hall?!
