Hush Hush

Whilst the underline innuendoes are to be revered, the execution, I'm afraid, fails to hit the bulls-eye. Barring its technical dexterities (which are to be expected, given, It is Amazon Original); and the performances delivered by a talented cast (Ayesha Jhulka, the name I would like to specially mention) I feel, the script here, on the whole, falls short of attaining its actual potential.

The notions were there, crucial subjects like Women empowerment, child abuse, and toxic patriarchy, all were there, right in front. And I do appreciate the fact that the creators took such an audacious initiative to strike invaluable conversations regarding these societal issues, but the writing here has bitten off more than it can chew.

As creators, one needs to understand, if you are planning to go big with your content, if you are that desperate to showcase your brazen demeanor by purposefully putting yourself into risky terrain, you might wanna strengthen your fundamentals i.e. Writing first! Everything else can be managed with adequate funding but the write-up.

This was an average showing at best.

Web series review: Hush Hush Streaming on Prime Video #sanjuzzreviews #HushHushOnPrime #hushhush #primevideo Directed by Tanuja Chandra Hush Hush is a strong female oriented crime thriller.

4 bff's - Juhi Chawla (Ishi), Shahana Goswami( Zaira), Soha Ali Khan ( Saiba) & Kritika Kamra (Dolly) from influential backgrounds attend a high profile party where a murder is committed by one of them. Ishi is also found dead later that night under suspicious circumstances. The other 3 friends are slowly sucked into a web of blackmail, lies and deceit which wrecks havoc in their so called idyllic lives.

Was Ishi murdered or did she commit suicide?

What were the circumstances that lead to her grim fate. These are the questions that the series attempts to answer.

Delicate topics like same sex relationships, child abuse, dysfunctional families , women's empowerment & toxic patriarchy have been well presented. Hard hitting stuff .. Kudos to the director!!

Casting is bang on , all 4 protagonists have played their parts well. Ayesha Jhulka(Meera) as Juhi's childhood friend and Karishma Tanna (Geeta) as a no nonsense Haryanvi cop investigating the case also play an important part in the narrative.

On the flip side the makers have kept the story open ended when there was no reason to do so, thereby paving the way for a second season!!

Overall Hush Hush has strong content and definitely bingewatch worthy. Go for it, You won't be disappointed!!

3.5 /5 stars from me .. adios 🙂!!

An utterly slow and boring product guised as a suspense thriller with a clutter of convoluted characters making nonsensical decisions. The series tries to bank on famous names like Juhi Chawla, Shahana Goswami and Soha Ali Khan, who are great actors, but burdened with a script that is bound to fail and bring them down with it. The personal stories of each character do nothing to move an already dragging screenplay. Karishma Tanna's cop is wanna be Sherlock, but keeps being handed evidence and yet ends up being commended and supported by a unnecessarily foul mouthed superior, who by the way is another fine actor wasted. The biggest hindrance to the plot are the three leading ladies. They keep making the most stupidest decisions without thinking or discussing it through. They keep honking the ethical horn but end up doing the most unethical things. You hear so much about Juhi's character Ishi through out, especially in the penultimate episode. The character of Ishi is made out to be a messiah for no apparent reason. The end reveal is laughable and you can see it coming from miles away. The hint for a second season is anything but exciting. Overall a boring, senseless series that might be able to salvage itself in the second season provided they decide to hire a good script writer and even better directors.

Bad direction, awful acting and horrible story. The director needs to stop working as can't watch any more non-sense.

The series has all the illogical things to create dumb storyline. It starts with murder to unfold the background story which was not predictable as no one can think about so many illogical things. Also the backdrop and reasons for characters to do crime was not clearly directed nor it's logical.

I am not sure if the cast and director has watched it themselves, I am sure not as if they had watched then wouldn't dare to release this.

Please watch chota bheem instead of this great show.

Right from the Pilot episode till the last one, I can say "Episodes are elongated too much with poor acting and not up-to-the-mark suspense.

There is no need of releasing Season 2 based on a little mystery at the end...Plots and twists are somehow common and there is nothing new in them.

I would recommend this series when you have nothing else to watch. And for those who have started watching, God bless you with superb patience and my suggestion is to just finish the whole season at one go rather than stop watching after 2 to 3 episodes. The plot of the series is pretty old and all have tried their best I must say at the end... But there is always a But...
