I always enjoy watching female-oriented movies that are either packed with a message or offer a fun-filled ride, and this one falls into both categories.
The story revolves around two daughters and three women who share the Sharma surname. One narrative follows a working-class woman, played brilliantly by Sakshi Tanwar, dealing with her teenage daughter, Vanshika Taparia. Vanshika has a meaty role in the movie and shines throughout. Sharib Hashmi, as the supportive husband, gives a decent performance.
Divya Dutta, portraying a small-town woman in Mumbai, nails her character, and Arista Mehta, as her daughter, is noteworthy. Parvin Dabas is good in his limited screen time. Saiyami Kher, as a cricketer, performs well and fits her character perfectly.
Tahira Kashyap, the director, has crafted a delightful story that touches on various subjects and is highly relatable. The depiction of teenage issues is the fun part of the movie, and many girls, as well as parents dealing with their daughters, will relate to it. The supportive husband is a sweet addition, making you wish for a partner as supportive as him. The portrayal of small-town challenges in a big city is spot on, and the friendship between teenage girls stands out as a highlight of the movie. Finally, a girl's perseverance in pursuing her dreams is shown with a lot of grace.
What doesn't work is the unnecessary inclusion of angles related to homosexuality and infidelity. It seems they tried too hard to showcase many aspects of a woman's life. Sometimes, simplicity is better, and there's no need to overdo it.
Tahira need not be known just as Ayushmann Khurrana's wife; she has proven her mettle with this movie. What works best about this movie is that it never gets preachy, making you feel highly connected and emotionally invested. Watch this liberating, fun movie, which will surely bring a smile to your face. #pranureviews #SharmajeeKiBeti #SharmajeeKiBetiReview.
