Sukhee Review: Shilpa Shetty Starrer Is Not The Theatrical Sukh That Audience Is Looking For

Sukhee Review: There's no doubt that Shilpa Shetty is a good actress. She has given many memorable performances, but the actress is unfortunately not able to make a strong comeback. First, she starred in Hungama 2 which got an OTT release, and she didn't have much to do in the film. Later, she was seen in Nikamma, a poorly made remake of Middle Class Abbayi and now, it's Sukhee which hits the big screens today, and sadly, even this film doesn't give a good comeback to the actress.

Sukhee (Shilpa Shetty) is about a woman who is a homemaker and lives in Anandkot with her husband, daughter, and grandfather-in-law. Husband and daughter don't respect her, and it's only his grandfather-in-law who always stands by her. Sukhee's school is having a reunion party for her batch and despite her husband's disagreement, she decides to go for the reunion in New Delhi. How her life changes during this time forms the rest of the story...

The basic concept of Sukhee is something that we have seen earlier. A middle-aged homemaker is not respected by her family, and then she rediscovers herself and understands her own worth due to a situation. We have seen this concept a few times in Hindi films earlier. So, a film like Sukhee, which has a very regular concept, needed a strong narration and that's where debutant director Sonal Joshi falters.

Sukhee doesn't have interesting scenes that would keep you engaged and the second half seems to be stretched too much. To be precise, we literally just laughed once in the film and felt a bit emotional in a scene, and unfortunately, both scenes didn't feature Shilpa. Also, Amit Sadh's track (though he is very good) looks forced in the film and will remind you of Anuj and Anupamaa (Yes, you read it right!).

Shilpa Shetty, as we said, is a good actress, but she needs to be very choosy when it comes to selecting scripts or maybe sadly she is not being offered good ones. Here in Sukhee, she is good in her part, but the film doesn't do justice to her talent. Chaitannya Choudhry, who plays Sukhee's husband in the film, is decent. When it comes to supporting actors, it is Kusha Kapila who steals the show and she proves that not just comedy, she can also perform dramatic and emotional scenes wonderfully. Amit Sadh looks charming and has done well in his special appearance.

Sukhee falters majorly in one more department and that is music. Neither the songs nor the background score are impressive. Also, the track Nasha in which Shilpa showcases her dance moves looks pale and the actress' dancing talent is also not used properly here.

Overall, Sukhee is a film with a done-and-dusted concept and a very bland narration. So, you can skip this one.
