Review :
Aaj duniya ka sabse ameer aadmi ek Bharatiya hai. You sit up in your seat, baffled. A series of thoughts run through your mind — Has Warren Buffet applied for Indian citizenship? Have the Ambani brothers merged their business empires? Are the makers of Saas Bahu aur Sensex privy to some top-secret information about the Wall Street quake?
But you soon realise that the film has got its facts wrong; and that’s not the only thing about Saas Bahu aur Sensex that is muddled. Horribly muddled. Half-baked characters, incoherent subplots that have no connect with the larger story, a series of isolated scenes slapped together quickly— Saas Bahu aur Sensex is a decent one-line idea that has been stretched to a mindless 150-minute-long bore.
The biggest problem with Saas Bahu aur Sensex is that the wafer-thin premise translates into a wafer-thin plot. Accompanied by daughter Tanushree Dutta, just-divorced Kirron Kher (Binita Sen) leaves her Calcutta home in search of a new life in Mumbai. Once in the city, a cash crunch compels her to contemplate selling off some old shares. In comes stock-market broker Feroze Sethna (Farooq Shaikh) who not only dissuades Binita from selling her shares, but also gets her interested in the bulls and bears. Soon, Binita is not only trading like a pro, she also manages to introduce her ‘Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Kanya Thi’-loving kitty party friends to the joys of making money at the stock market.
Running alongside the main story are the dime-a-dozen subplots — a love triangle with Ankur Khanna sandwiched between the sweet and simple Tanushree and the money-minded Masumeh, the individual stories of the residents of the housing complex in which the protagonists live and even one in which Sudhanshu Pandey puts in a cameo as Masumeh’s lover on the sly.
Despite the makers touting it as a story of the middle-class young urban Indian of today, the audience feels little connect with Saas Bahu aur Sensex. Stocks and shares, EMIs, increased spending power, women’s lib — Saas Bahu aur Sensex touches upon many aspects and does justice to none. A series of mindless incidents, irritable characters that pop up every now and then but contribute nothing to the plot and a hastily put together climax are the other problem points.
In between all this, somehow Kirronji connects with a stockbroker (again!) who’s portrayed by Farouque Shaikh as a babbling Parsi. Shaikh does it extremely well, and Kirronji is efficient. Tanushree, without dollops of make-up, is eminently likeable. Lilette Dubey sparkles from the kitty party gang and the ageing Sharon Prabhakar could have done with some better makeup. The music by Randolph Correa, Blaaze and Bipin Chanchal is a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth. Now if only these guys had been given another script. How about a medical thriller like Gas Lahoo aur Sex?
The premiere show at Fame (South City) on Tuesday evening started off with 150-odd viewers and ended with less than 50. Even Binita Sen breaking into Bengali at every possible opportunity wasn’t enough to stop the Saas Bahu aur Sensex market from crashing. Like the stock market, Saas Bahu aur Sensex keeps fluctuating intermittently. But for its optimistic outlook, the feel-good film has its own share of entertainment.
