Review of Hu Tu Tu

Hu Tu Tu (1999)
7/10
Gritty and sinister
5 June 2019
Gulzar paves through the movie at his own desultory pace. Tabu as the gaali-mouthing tomboy, Sunil Shetty as her vulnerable and sensitive boy friend, Suhasini Mulay as a middle class woman who rises to the top by being unabashedly amoral, and Shivaji Satam as her weak and powerless husband. Gulzar not only creates rivetingly absorbing characters but also extracts first rate performances from them all.

Gulzar resorts to his trademark flashback technique. While it works in parts, it tends to confuse at some places - more delineation was required inserting an impactful scene to delineate the transition. The length of the movie is its biggest deterrent. And the slew of songs. Most of them picturized on Nana Patekar enacting his usual role of the cynical revolutionary.
