Khandaani Shafakhana

#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!

A theme which in the hands of a capable director could have done well. But a poor script along with uneven performances make this venture unwatchable. Poor jokes and the excruciatingly slow pace just adds on to the mental torture.

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.

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

Its just a 2 hours of torture. Director producer must compensate for the mental torture.

Movie has overdose of Overcting. Story is not good.

It tries hard to become funny but jokes and punchlines go for toss

I saw people leaving hall before movie ended.

Its one of the worst movies I saw in last 10 uears.

Avoid if you care for your health.

Sonakshi is gone actress.
