Vidya Balan yet again has surprised the audience with all new avatar of herself. Tumhari Sulu is entirely a fresh and slice of life and joy- kind of film which again made the mark to be as something new to the audience. The simplicity is hard to miss in the film which made it even more glazing to live the story.

Plot & about the film

Tumhari Sulu is the story of the homemaker woman who lead her life with her husband but apparently she explore herself as more than an usual homemaker turning to be part-time late night RJ. The film is about extraordinary life of the ordinary woman Sulu who is balancing her new life to her personal one with the family. She feels quite like superhero saving her personal life in a day and night doing the RJ thing. Manav Kaul is playing the character of her sweet husband. Neha Dhupia is playing the character of radio station owner who sees the spark and talent in the aspiring Sulu. Vidya Balan has an attitude of ‘ I can do this’. She was offered a late night RJ show titled as ‘ Tumhari Sulu’ where late night callers get to talk on flirty note with the part time RJ Sulochana (Sulu).

Manav Kaul played a role of a concerned, caring and supportive husband but still at some point, things got imbalanced which affected their personal married life.

Why to watch

Vidya Balan yet again changed herself here to be as innocent, quirky-talking late night RJ turned from simple but aspiring homemaker woman. So she offers a slice of life and joy in the film with her lightening character. It is kind of treat to feel the essence of such love and purity from the character. Manav Kaul has added his ultimate conviction in role of husband where it is quite new to see as some fresh protagonist or positive roles. Another fascinating stuff is the two sides of Sulu, first the simple- homemaker loving wife and other side is the seducing , flirting and quirky late-night RJ. Vidya Balan is the hero of the film putting the story on her shoulder to the better dramatic twist and further to the climax. Manav Kaul and Neha Dhoopia has done excellent supporting roles. Not to miss RJ Malishka from the real world of RJs in the film.

Why not

Second Half of the film could be much better where the climax is sort of pulled out shortly with building some great twist on the story perspective. However, Vidya Balan and other cast did stretch their performance to match the scale upwards. Some additional plots could stronger adding to the story as well as their involvement to the main plot.

The Final Call

Tumhari Sulu is quite different and kind of film which came very least in years where it is about a woman leading simple life. The film primary note is more like fresh and happy. Vidya Balan is the must-watch factor for the film to watch. Manav Kaul and Neha Dhupia did their part very well to the addition. It is the must watch- at least once and especially for Vidya Balan fans.
