Cast: Rhea Chakraborty, Ali Fazal, Anupam Kher, Raghav Juyal, Smita Jaykar, Swanand KirkireDirection: Charudutt AcharyaGenre: DramaDuration: 2 hours 7 minutes
The film traces the life of Mumbaichi Sonali Dattaram Tandel (Rhea), a local broadband provider who decides to stand up against the monopoly and arm-twisting tactics of a corporate giant which invades her territory to expand business.
Review: Whether it's malls eating into the business of local baniyas, studios muscling out smaller films from the multiplexes or multiplexes pushing single screens out of the game, in the wake of independent businesses struggling to survive in big cities owing to corporate giants' rising dominance, Sonali Cable comes at the most opportune timHowever, the relevant premise (an underdog's fight for survival) gets marred by an ineffective performance from the protagonist and inconsistency in the pace, character buildup and narrative. The storytelling fails to evoke a sense of urgency that the character should ideally portray. Everything seems hunky-dory, with unnecessary songs plugged in, until characters get randomly killed.
The film fails to strike a chord as Sonali battles it out with the chairman (Kher) of a rival cable company. You don't feel the shrewdness of the villain or bravery of the lead character and therein lies the film's core problem. The forced humour doesn't salvage the situation either.
