Sonali Cable

Sonali Cable wanted to make a point and it has tried its best to not lose focus. Unfortunately, though, it feels a little long drawn out with a tame ending. Yet, there are some bits that stay with you, bit that you can watch the whole film for once. - See more at: http://wogma.com/movie/sonali-cable-review/#sthash.8jjFUb45.dpuf

This isn't a story about just one girl who can spout the lines written. This film gets a point across – don't always think that the big industries are looking out for your best interests. A lengthy film, you get to feel for Sonali and her plight. As the movie takes its course, you will feel a connection that only a movie with a story can have. Sonali Cable reminds us to that the little guys are tough and they ain't going anywhere. Sometimes all it takes is someone who decides to take a stand.

Though Charudutt Acharya's characters in Sonali Cable have stories and context, his film flails about, unable to decide what it is. That's partly because Rhea Chakraborty's Sonali is completely unbelievable, and because the film's bigotry keeps overtaking its socialist spirit.

Sonali Cable is an experimental film made on a new theme. Duration of the film is fine, lead pair is cute but story is average. Watch it if you really want to.

The film ends up a clumsy attempt at entertaining, almost like those pirated prints of brand new releases that local cablewallahs would often telecast on the sly in a bid to retain subscriber base.

Lazy script, mediocre bordering on silly dialogues and shoddy editing makes this one sadly a boring affair. A woman-centric film is always welcome but there really is no point if the film falters badly at the execution and ends up being just another lacklustre film.

The film has a good concept but lacks the vibrancy and spirit of the city it is set in. Overall, it faces 'connectivity' issues.

The film, which could have upped its entertainment quotient, fails to do so primarily because its poor script and bad direction. On the whole, SONALI CABLE is a weak film that can be skipped.

As a heroine-centric movie, SC had lots of potential but nowhere is there a plot in place. For her part, Rhea does well: as well as the script allows her to. Just having a broadband connection is not good enough, you also need 24-connectivity for it to work!

The promise ends with the title. Sonali Cable is a superficial representation of a trade that has frustrated Mumbaikars for a decade-a relevant profession it had an opportunity to enlighten viewers about, the way Rocket Singh did for computer-service firms.

The film is full of loopholes and to be honest there is no reason why you would want to watch Sonali Cable. Although if you want an outing this weekend, you can go for it. However, we would suggest you to wait for the next weekend.

Sonali Cable has a bunch of sincere actors who are lumped with a scrappy narrative. The laughs are unintentional, the swag flops and eventually all that remains is just a bad film, which is hard to sit through.

With the story being average debutant director Charudutt Acharya has done a 'not-so-bad' work but not a film to watch it in theaters.

Sonali Cable doesn't offer much in terms of cinema. I do get what the makers were trying to drive home (a theme bigger than the purview of this film for sure) but a tiresome narrative doesn't yield much goodness. Once out of the theater, it is the kind of film that will make you feel why did you waste your time. Filled with wrong laughs, false frills and a build up that doesn't make for an enticing climax, Sonali Cable's underdog story doesn't quite work.
