Varun, Anushka will warm your heart.
A movie that you want to watch with entire family.
Mauji (Varun Dhawan) and Mamta (Anushka Sharma) are a married couple in a small town in India. With Mamta stuck between the daily chores and her kitchen, the couple doesn't spend much time with each other. In the beginning, they communicate with each other only through their family members and haven't even shared a meal together since their wedding.
Varun Dhawan is soul of the film & Anushka sharma is backbone Special mention to Varun's father played in this film Raghuveer yadav & his mother they are simply outstanding.
Bollywood comes up with some thing fresh & realistic 1st part is awesome 2nd was average...
Its a very motivating and inspiring movie! These type of social movies should be made more and more in Bollywood.
One time watch..flick!

Sui dhaaga .
Its heart warming , touching , inspiring drama. Movie has realistic substance. Director sharat katatiya has given best . Movie is well narrated without streching and predictable scences. Where as screenplay , dialogues , cinematography and story - plot having good feel factor. The movie is very connected to common and medicore existence. As movie has grown simplicity facets of facts and emotions. Director already known for "dum laga ke haisha." Has made his new venture more skillfull and brillant. While background score and music are good upto the mark. But surely performance level by anushka sharma is outstanding brillant , as character justification of the both lead actors are remarkable. Varun dhawan appeared totally unique as his hardwok for character appealing has easily showcase him as perfect and splendid actor. While other characters are enduring ,adorable and very honest performance delivered. So SUI DHAAGA.. is convincing movie with strong performances with humour and realistic quotient. So it comeouts as delightful family entertainer.

Sui Dhaaga was a good attempt spoiled by bad climax
ketgup8329 September 2018
Small town stories seems to be have come back in Bollywood - Main Meri Patni Aur Woh, Manorama Six Feet Under, Bareily Ki Barfi, Stree, Batti Gul Meter Chalu and now Sui Dhaaga. Audience love to watch the simplicity of these places, the culture followed by locals with no flashy and grandeur sets. Sui Dhaaga was almost there but few glitches turned against the film.
Sui Dhaaga tells the story of Mauji (played by Varun Dhawan) who plays a bootlicker in a stable job until his wife Mamta (played by Anushka Sharma) makes him to realize to think big in his life and start something on his own.
Directed by Sharat Katariya, who earlier made the brilliant Dum Laga Ke Haisha and 10 ML Love , Sui Dhaaga is yet another fine attempt. He succeeds in tell the story of a simple, ordinary and middle-class family which will remind of classic movies by Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee. The movie is intrinsic to its core right from the beginning with hilarious moments enough to tickle your funny-bone during the first half. The initial reel will definitely bring down the house especially the hospital scene where Mauji and his father argues and all of sudden, nurse shouts at them to get out and fight some where else. Even the scene where Mauji's mother ask Mamta to make sure to fill up the bucket full of water, even she is recovering from a heart attack is funny. Hats off to the director and script writer for making the best out of it. Unfortunately, the movie starts dying in the later part of the film where Sharat infuses too much of melodrama and makes it a mess. The fashion show was too much to digest and spoils the mood of the film.
Sui Dhaga might remind you of Will Smith's Pursuit Of Happyness as it has similar touch to the background score and yet is convincing. Cinematography is nice while art direction is very good. Dialogues are good. Music is by Anu Malik is fine. Sui Dhaaga boast some of the fine performances in recent times. Raghuveer Yadav as a frustrated father is marvelous. Varun Dhawan does a fabulous job as a push-over, loyal son. Anushka Sharma is astounding. She is calm and sober and yet powerful from inside who believes in her husband.
Overall, Sui Dhaaga, with few short comings, can be watched once for some good moments. Good 3/5

Success story, that wins heart.
MuviFan7328 September 2018
An introduced trailer and direction coming from Sharat Kataria, the director who directed Dum Laga ke haisha were more than enough of a reason to watch this movie this weekend. I would say first half of movie loses but the second half makes up for it.
Tone, Script & Story: It is a success story of a family which comes by manufacturing garments.
The first half that made me go awe were the script supporting the idea of immediate mood change and factors like selling garments in hospital.
The second half makes up for it. It has got that Indian tadka, feel good element which excels. They introduce something I term as non-restricted size models which is ideal case in real world. It comes along with the desiness that wins hearts.
Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The graph sadly goes down for director (due to first half). Other areas stand justified.
Music: It was average. Acting: Varun is worth mentioning. Others were good too.
Final Verdict: It is a success story of a family that wins heart. If you have time and money and looking for some entertainment do watch it. You won't be disappointed.

Movie wonderfully depicts 'Innocence, Emotions and Hard work'
shivjirwankar18 November 2018
Just like 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha', 'Sui Dhaaga' is also based in small town of UP. After loving the former so much I was very much eager to watch the latter. And I was not disappointed. Loved the direction, acting by the whole cast, background score and music.
Movie wonderfully depicts the value of hard work and patience which can one day bring glory to one's life.
Anushka's innocence in the movie won my heart. And Varun's simplicity was a treat to watch. This is truly Made In India. Absolutely loved the movie.
Definitely worth the price of the ticket...

Director Sharat Katariya does take a few cinematic liberties, but there are enough real moments to move you. In a winning first half, he successfully establishes his main characters and their problems. Smart usage of humour in dialogues ups the entertainment quotient, even when the going gets tough for the characters. While the narrative doesn't get too preachy or predictable, the second half is simply convenient. Also, while Mauji's struggle for self-employment finds ample mention, there isn't much to justify his excellence in the craft, except his failed legacy. However, these are minor patches in the overall fabric of the film that is cut for entertainment. Sui Dhaaga is sewn together with strong performances and moments that tell a convincing story.
Sui Dhaaga falls well short of perfection, but it never comes unstuck. It passes muster as a wholesome entertainer embellished with humour, warmth, authentic emotional trappings and actors adept at going seamlessly along with the flow. Definitely worth the price of the ticket, if not more.
While the first half is filled with feel-good moments, the second half gets slightly indulgent as the plot veers towards suspension of disbelief, especially considering the grim economic climate.Sui Dhaaga is a wholesome entertainer which demands that you don't over-analyse it by pulling at its weak threads. It has its sparkling moments - mainly due to the performances of the actors and the nuggets of humour that are thrown in. So why not pin your hopes on Sui Dhaaga?
Director Sharat Kataria's last film, 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' was appreciated for his knack of capturing the small-town love story between a misfit couple. He brings similar authenticity to 'Sui Dhaaga'. With his writing, he crafts his characters with care and gives us a story that is heartwarming.The film brings back the combination of Sharat Kataria, Anu Malik and lyricist Varun Grover. Songs like 'Chaav Laga', 'Sui Dhaaga' to the foot tapping 'Sab Badhiya Hai' are high on melody and add to the texture of the film. Despite its minor flaws the movie is an engaging

Not as expected
pawanpunjabithewriter13 October 2018
I was expecting it to be one of the biggest releases this year. However, it didn't stand as per the expectations. Acting, no doubt, was good. We always like to watch struggle and emotional stories and this was one of it. Although it has a message and motivation, it lacks entertainment. First half was good. However, the climax disappointed. Concept was good, but overall the movie wasn't that good.
The couple's relationship is the centre point which is too good to watch. It's a complete family movie. Positve is it may make some relationships stronger.
Inspiring

Simple, light and good
rehmankhilji5 December 2018
A very nice movie, with message of hard work paying off. Its simplest of Bollywood cinema with no nonsense. Top in it is the acting of Varun Dhawan has acted too good in the movie, way better than Anushka, who has given a wonderful support to the cast.
Clean and neatly made and worth watching.
Sui Dhaaga has got its heart at the right place but with flaws
anupkranal3 October 2018
It is always said that film making is all about details, once you miss something you are out of the game as audience will not miss it in the theatre. Sui Dhaaga is a perfect example of this. With some splendid acting, authentic sets, costume and makeup, this movie feels very real and has got its heart at the right place. But it is also true that whatever you do, you should not throw the logic out of the movie. That is what the director and writer Sharat Katariya should have been mindful of in the second half of the movie.
The first half of Sui Dhaaga will win you all over with the emotions and chemistry between Mauji and Mamta, whereas the second half became victim of trying to be over melodramatic. Sharat made fatal screenplay mistakes in the second half which will erode away the emotional connect the audience has established with Mauji and Mamta. The best thing about the movie is that the performances of the cast have never been compromised. Varun Dhawan has given his life's best performances and hasn't given any hint of his glamorous image which he has got among his fans. Anushka Sharma like always lived the role of Mamta as it was designed for her only. The credit for making this movie watchable despite its flaws has to be also given to its supporting cast. Raghuvir Yadav is again in form after Newton. After Varun Dhawan and Anushka, the performance that made the movie look so real and close to the heart is the performance of Yamini Das as Mauji's mother.
Overall the movie would have been a very satisfying watch but unfortunately loses its track in the second half.
Worth watching the movie
gowdan248 October 2018
A movie with a good story line . The movie trails around a Indian family struggling around life finally gets a chance to win a Jackpot . Simplicity of people and places without lashing around luxurious and flashy sets. The second part of the film could have given a more realistic and better climax rather than jumping direct into stars . Overall a good movie and worth watching it
Slow , predictable yet entertaining

rahul-rdthecool-das24 February 2020
This is a film where the director tried to portray a simple story with a touch of rare simplicity but managed to end it with a horrible and really unrealistic idea.
The unrealistic ending of the movie easily damaged the essence of whole movie in last 10 mins of it's runtime.
Average performances from the leads.
Average music.
Feel good film

#SuiDhaaga :
Sharat Katariya and team is back after the most unusual film as well as very successful film called Dum Laga Ke Haisha. This time they are coming with another unique topic.
Mauji (Varun Dhawan) is an uneducated man, who works for a shop. The owner treats him like a dog. One day his wife Mamta (Anushka Sharma) finds out this and feels bad and insulted. Mauji leaves that job and starts his grandfather's business and love, that is tailoring. Although, he is too good in this thing, his father is unhappy with this profession because it is not a trustworthy profession. How they are being treated after creating unique gowns for patients at Hospital is where the change takes place.
Varun Dhawan is good as Mauji. Many men of India can be able to relate to him. I personally feel that Varun could have performed much better than this. Anushka Sharma shines in her new look in saree. Her emotions are pitch perfect. She has done a great job very nicely. Raghubir Yadav has played his part finely. Other supporting cast is superb, too. Namit Das as Guddu is item bomb. I mean, he comes and blasts and audience too get connected with him from the very first second.
Music is given by Anu Malik and lyrics have been penned by Varun Grover. Songs are good in the mood of film. I know, there are no hit songs here. But each song is soulful for sure. Papon's voice decorates the beautiful song Chaav Laga. The title song by Divya Kumar at the ramp walk is the song of the film. After getting ended, it stays with you for a long time.
Sharat Katariya is a good director. He knows how to deal with soft subjects with great emotions and that too with proper Indie touch. This film is going to be a hit for sure. Even the marketing team of this film have done extremely good things of promoting tailors across India. Sui-Dhaaga is definitely a must watch film with family.
Liked the way it is being edited. There are no boring scenes at all. It has humour, emotions and a very good thought. Indian should use products made in India. We are capable of producing, in fact we are producing, it is just that we have to start using and accepting our products. Feel proud to use Indian products.
Dreams are cool, but dreamer is a fool. This is what we feel about any young thinker. Let's give them a chance to work on their dreams, it may happen that some best work will come out that will give pride to them as well as whole country. Go for Sui Dhaaga, Made in India.

ranvirbuzz29 September 2018
A good movie could have been great
sauravjoshi851 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Honestly Sui Dhaga is a great movie which could have been great provided the director would have gone a little extra mile. The film is a story of a couple who is struggling to make their mark and it connects emotionally with the viewers. Anushka Sharma is been brilliant and Deserves most of the credit. Raghubir Yadav's talent could have been utilised more. Varun Dhawan has to learn a lot for such kind of emotional movie as he was loud in between the scenes. The film slows down in the middle and you will start agitated. The climax could have been better as it seems that the director was in a hurry to wrap up the movie. Overall it's a decent and clean movie which can be watched with the whole family.
Good one time watch
