A simple movie that mainly Mumbaikars might be able to connect..it could have been better..shows how politics and goondagardi exists in every walk of life nowadays..the supporting starcast are ace actors..leads are just ok...Rhea's attempt to speak Mumbai ya English seems to be forced.. are the reviewers here confusing Raja Kher with Anupam Kher..he is a good actor bit gone over the top here...just ok for a 1 time watch.
Simple plain story of a spunky girl from mumbai sub urb. The movie may not please all audience but its the story of common people in sub urbs. Director has put in sincere efforts and the cast has performed fairly well. The lead character by Rhea has done very well. Average movie but worth a story. Background scores are okay. Cinematography is average. Songs are not that good. Female protagonist introduced while jumping one roof to another like cakewalk. I was expecting some realistic touch from this movie but this shot shattered my expectation. Cuts from one scene to another are beautiful. Love is second plot but it is assumed that they are in love rather than showing some beautiful romantic moments. Performance wise Ali Fazal as Raghu is OK. Reah Chakraborty as Sonali is fine. An actor who played Bobby Bose is impressive. Raghav Juyal as Sada is very good. Anupam kher is OK. Rest is okay and not so appealing.Thanx team 'Sonali Cable'. I liked it!All the best!
Bollywood is the biggest movie industry in the world where each Friday churns out a new genre of films. Sonali Cable is a daring attempt never seen before on Indian Cinema. Unfortunately it has few moments to hold your attention.A small-time cable shop is threatened by a big tycoon who is willing to take over the city of Mumbai. Sonali Cable tells the story of young and dynamic Sonali who must survive the wave and get back her shop which she proudly runs.I would like to mention here that as a first time director Cahurdutt Acharya has put in a sincere efforts. Full marks should be given to him for tackling the story so efficiently. The cinematography of the flick is an average. Background score is poor. The screenplay could have been a bit tighter. Rhea Chakraborty is a fine actress. She plays the chirpy yet fiery role with aplomb. Ditto goes for the performance by the rest of the star cast. Overall, the movie is a decent watch. You may want to give it a try. Decent – 2.75 / 5www.facebook.com/FilmychowkKetan
Sonali Cable starts off as an intriguing story but disconnects itself from the point of the film incredibly fast.. For the Orwellian nightmare that it sketches, for when Sonali steps across the foyer of Shine Inc and on to the shining image that is A, for Sonali's monologue for the Little Person towards the end, and for portraying death and dreams with a finesse I haven't seen in a while don't want to give away the plot but when Hartline's go offline BE PREPARED TO CRY. 1. A pretty Rhea C, who struggles in the acting department. Ali Fazal too is patchy, I've-acting for half of it & playing it real for the other.2. A very dry treatment to an otherwise exciting premise. Just gets plain boring after a point.3. One song too many, quite unnecessary.4. Absolutely no chemistry between the lead pair.5. Pretty random climax.To sum it up, Sonali Cable is a cute small film that meanders away after a point. Give it a miss
