At the risk of sounding redundant, small is big. Tumhari Sulu, released on November 17 and is steadily marching towards a successful second week. Having registered about Rs 18.23 crore collection at the box office, the film is receiving critical adulation as well.
Tumhari Sulu is garnering acclaim for its depiction of the middle class, echoing the sensibilities of Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Vidya’s no-holds-barred performance as a homemaker from Virar. Be it her full-bellied laughter, her ardent gazes, a portrayal of muted desire or her blend of abandon and restraint, Balan is in top form. We also finally see Manav Kaul in a non-baddie role.
The Quint had a freewheeling chat with the lead actors - Vidya Balan, Manav Kaul, the director Suresh Triveni and producer Tanuj Garg. Watch this space for a text version of the interview.
