Hush Hush

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.

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.

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.

Series stars well with all elements of a thriller in start but the story stretched after this without any reason . I think makers made this season keeping in mind the sequel due to which this part seems incomplete even though there was efforts to give a logical ending.

Tanuja Chandra after a long time brought complexity of women's life woven with a murder mystery but even after good performances by Soha Ali Khan Pataudi, Shahana Goswami, Karishma Tanna ,Kritika Kamra and Ayesha Jhulka the entire act remain Hush- Hush. Hope season 2 uplift the plot in a better way because there are lots of possibilities of interesting outcome.

The story of this series is pretty old and nothing unique.

The series starts off in the most snail slow pace i have ever seen in recent times. It will test your patience like anything for atleast 4 episodes. To add salt to inury, the conversations are so damn boring and uninteresting that atleast in the 1st episode before the plot is established in the final few mins, you will doze off. They have literally stitched the boring moments one after the other. You will also find those typical feminist conversations like talks about v**ina, talks about men etc.

The climax is bizzare and leaves the series open for a s2 which i will not watch because it tested my patience so bad that i felt i wasted my time watching this series.

Watch only if you can bear the excruciatingly painful pace of this series.
