Saas Bahu Aur Sensex Full Movie Hd Download In Hindi

The agonising 140-odd minutes of the film is a tale about a Parsi stock broker Firoze Sethna (Farooq Sheikh), who is 'rude and insensitive', oomphy Mrs Binita Sen (Kirron Kher) and a gaggle of women.
Speaking of oomph, there seems to be an abundance of it here whether its older ladies like Lillete Dubey (playing the protagonist Ankur's Sindhi mother), Sharon Prabhakar (playing Punjabi-mouthing ribaldrous housewife who urges you not to miss the 'r' in her last name Brar) or the younger and of course, scantily clad women led by Tanushree Datta and Masumeh Makhija.
The characters are almost caricature-like. A group of stereotypical Tamil, Punjabi, Maharashtrian, Muslim, Sindhi and Bengali middle class housewives, led by Binita, want to invest their money in the roaring stock market even as it reaches the 10,000 level threshold.
The main plot -- if you can call it that -- entangles itself between the Sensex's journey from 7,000 to almost 30,000 points and the love triangle that embroils the life of newcomer, clumsy Ritesh Jethmalani (Ankur), greedy Kirti Wagaskar (Masumeh) and depressed-by-her-parents'-divorce Nitya Sen (Tanushree). There is no continuity in the storyline and characters lack depth.
Shona Urvashi treads the tried-and-tested formula of Mumbai-as-a microcosm-of-India where people (mostly saas and bahus) belonging to different religions and regions lead a normal life, which include gossiping about what their society's new arrival Binita is doing with Mr Sethna, discussing and mocking the sex lives of their neighbours, cracking ribaldrous jokes (watch the scene where Sharon Prabhakar holds two papayas in her hand and says, 'Aajkal lagata hai inki bhi plastic surgery hoti hai' and, of course, watching Saas Bhi Kabhi Kanya Thi.
However, if you think you are too disturbed or have lost a great fortune because of the current goings-on in the global financial market and have nothing else to do on a Saturday or Sunday -- the stock market remains closed on weekends -- then perhaps you can think of watching this forgettable movie.
Amongst the various interests of an Indian today are saas-bahu shows [the high TRPs vouch for it] and monitoring the sensex on a day-to-day basis. Shona Urvashi incorporates these two interests/passions in her second outing SAAS BAHU AUR SENSEX. It's a complete departure from her directorial debut CHUPKE SE.
Shona's execution of the material is refined, in fact shades better when compared to CHUPKE SE. In fact, a number of scenes are expertly handled, but Shona's writing is an issue here. It unravels perfectly -- the sequence of event is just right -- but it takes its own sweet time to reach the finale. Ideally, the film should've been shorter in terms of duration. A running time of 1.30 hors would've only created a better impact.
With her mother Binita [Kirron Kher] leaving her father and also their comfortable home in Kolkata, Nitya [Tanushree Dutta] finds herself in the new environs of Navi Mumbai. Finding her bearings in a new city could be tough, but she does so thanks to one of her neighbours, Ritesh [Ankur Khanna].
Binita is befriended by the women in the colony and joins their kitty parties. Binita's father had left her some shares and she wants to dispose them off. She meets Firoz [Farouque Shaikh], an eccentric stock broker, who teaches her the ropes of correct investing. In the meantime, the group of kitty party ladies feel that Binita is up to something dubious. However, Binita introduces them to Firoz and they decide to invest in stocks.
Shona Urvashi goes unconventional this time as far as the subject is concerned, but there're times when the unconventional theme meets with a conventional conclusion. Take Masumeh's character, for instance. She's a two-timer and after what transpires at the shaadi ka mandap, it's easy to predict what's in store next.
Similarly, the hose wives turning their eye towards the stock market is novel, but a buoyant 30,000 points sensex has them rolling in wealth and that looks far-fetched. Yet, there's no denying that SAAS BAHU AUR SENSEX is engaging in parts. Only thing, Shona should've been far more objective and ensured a shorter length. Also, the fluctuations n the stock market may not appeal universally.
The music is functional, but the best part is that the songs are of maximum 1-minute duration. Diego Rodriguez's camerawork is flawless. Plus, the housing complex in Pune gives the film a pleasant look.
Both Farouque Shaikh and Kirron Kher vie for top honours. It's a pleasure to watch Farouque Shaikh after a hiatus. He pitches in an incredible performance. Kirron Kher is lovely, graceful, so talented. In a deglam look, Tansuhree Dutta gets to display her talent. She's top notch. Ditto for Ankur Khanna, who's getting better with every film.
Masumeh looks every inch the seductress and gets to perform in the latter part. She's efficient. Amongst housewives, Lilette Dubey, Sharon Prabhakar and Shehnaz Anand are all lovable, so lively that you take to them instantly. Sudhanshu Pandey is effective in a brief role.
