My Critique

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, it kept me glued throughout. Divyendu is always my favorite but other actors also did an amazing job. The movie is a sweet love triangle that touches the chord of social stigma faced due to forced vasectomy done for population control during emergency. The movie is a humorous take on the brutal issue of forced vasectomy during emergency in 1975. It’s a fun movie that tickle you and also manage to make you familiar with problems faced by common man due to democratic decisions. The best part of the movie is the movie keep up the humor level and didn’t compromise with the sensitivity of the topic. The movie shifts effortlessly between comedy, love and drama and the final scene is superbly written.

Don’t miss to watch Sukhranu on ZEE5, it’s a well-written story which tackles a sensitive subject in a humorous and much relatable way.
