Sulu Sab Kar Sakti Hai
19 November 2017
Many a times we're unable to appreciate the various roles a woman plays in day to day life. It's not just limited to men, but even women themselves are too humble to admit the same or are unappreciative about the struggles that are there in someone else's life. Tumhari Sulu too is a story of one such woman who despite being the backbone of her family is blamed at various instances by others and herself for bending, twisting & turning on various occasions without realizing the fact that it's the role of the backbone to be flexible to ensure that the body doesn't get stiff. While she isn't perfect, yet she knows how to improvise to get the best out of the limited resources & strive a little more where she knows she's not as good as others.

Without any melodrama it also portrays the finer nuances of a typical middle class family which I'm sure most of us will be able to relate to and identify as ourselves at some stage or other. It also highlights that whether it's the relationship of spouses or responsibilities of parenthood or work-life balance or extended family pressure the cogwheels of life need to be in sync with each other all the time to ensure a smooth ride also accompanied by periodic overhauling to minimize the unavoidable & unexpected jerks.

It's Vidya Balan all the way with well supported by Manav Kaul who play their role with such ease that for the entire duration of 2.5 hours you actually feel that you're peeping inside the life of an actual family and watching them deal with every aspect & challenge of their day to day life. It's a fresh take on a life that is full of opportunities and where it's you who has to decide what suits you when & how and say "Main Kar Sakti Hai!"
