Khandaani Shafakhana

Because if this is not a good movie, then I don't know what is!

Though the movie highlights one of the important issues of society, it is not properly executed. Lack of emotions and it is difficult for the audience to connect with the movie.

A weak comedy about a woman who manages a sex clinic.

the clinic in which sonakshi practices libido-boosting solutions.

Movie is all about the idea that Indians really need to change their attitudes towards sex education.

There isn't enough humour & A Slow-paced film.

Sonakshi is now queen of flop films.., and Badshaah dsnt know acting at all. He should be jailed for his so-called acting in this movie.

Khandaani Shafakhana (Family-Owned Sex Clinic) aspires to convey a good message (that of sex education to the masses (interior India)) but fails to do so because of its uninspiring screenplay, crass jokes (mainly by Varun Sharma), and a snail-paced narrative that takes the formulaic approach of a good-intentioned woman (Sonakshi Sinha) being assumed evil by the society for being 'obscene'. For anyone who has been closely following Bollywood, this social dramedy will be reminiscent of other films in recent times chafing the same topic and it is just amazing how much you can predict what's going to happen with the same prejudiced family members, the good Samaritan protagonist, his well-wishing stranger-turned-friend, and the evil corporations. Even Sinha acts like the way she has been acting since after her Dabangg (2010) days. There's no novelty in Khaandaani Shafakhana save for its catchy name, and with that preachy undertone and mocking courtroom sequence at the end, it just adds to it being just below average. The content is good but just falls short of being handled with finesse and imagination. Badshah should probably stick to rapping. TN.

#FinalVerdict:

Directed by debutant filmmaker Shilpi Das Gupta, Khandaani Shafakhana is APPLAUDABLE for tackling the social taboo surrounding sex and fertility issues without resorting to cheap humour and double meaning jokes. Brave Attempt!

PROS: Super premise.Sparkling performances.

Sonakshi Sinha (Extraordinary), Varun Sharma (Brilliant), Annu Kapoor (Top-notch), Badshah (Confident), Priyansh Jora (Solid), Nadira Babbar (Perfect) and Kulbhushan Kharbanda (Convincing).

Several LOL moments.The setting of a small town in Punjab with a dusty old clinic, the busy side lanes of a grand bazaar and middle-class Indian household filled with endearing but meddling family members add to the overall impact.

CONS: Length and excruciatingly slow pace play spoilsport...Some vital scenes fall flat, seem monotonous and forced. The romantic angle too, seem unnecessary. Also, the emotional scenes slacken the pace and at times, feel didactic.

On the whole, Khandaani Shafakhana is bold and makes a strong case by putting out its message in a light-hearted sapid manner. Go for it!

Totally boring and totally 💩💩💩💩 movie... Save your money and save your time..
