LOL, before I write a review about this movie, let me give a little bit of back ground for it.
This movie was scheduled to be released some five years back, as Govinda’s home production, when he was in his hey days. It was supposed to be his first home production, on the lines of RK films, ABCL etc.
However, such a dud was this movie, that it didn’t find any distributors. Even five years ago, this movie couldn’t be sold in Govinda’s name. So, this movie was sent to the backburner.
Unfortunately, Govinda’s career went on a downslide soon after, after he starred in some inconsequential movies like Rajaji and couple of other nameless movies.
Now, when Govinda is back in the limelight (read politics) and has some clout, he has had this movie released.
The public is already scared and tired of the elder brother - younger brother combine, not because of Govinda, but because of fearsome (in terms of the movies he makes) brother Kirti Kumar, so his name is changed to Kirti Ahuja, and thankfully, he doesn’t have that token appearance in the movie too. (Their last movie together was Radha Ka Sangam, )
Now, speaking about the movie..
This movie is archaic, even for five years ago, it is a stupid, vile, perverted, chauvinistic, almost illegal suggestion of how a Indian house should be.
It is a movie where a well educated and young Indian wife still calls her husband ’Inko’ and ’Suniye Ji..’ With due respect, Govinda, if you have kept such a rule in your house, it is okay, but please don’t mete it out to the Indian Public. We are educated and liberated now, and have tolerated David Dhawan’s MCP and your MCP, movies where you have treated women as nothing more but a commodity. in Ssukh, you went a step further.
Ssukh tells the story of Chandraprakash Sharma (Govinda) and his wife Sushila (Priety Jhanghiani) whom he calls Sushi. Sushi has a friend Bhavna (Aarti Chhabria) who is estranged from her husband Rakesh (Chunkey Pandey).
Bhavna is about to get a huge amount of money, ten crores but only if her marital life is in bliss. (Yuck).
So, while she is divorced, she shows her brother and his wife that Chandraprakash is her husband, then, they get tired of the sham, and tell the truth that Rakesh is her divorced husband. The judge likes this, and gives her the ten crores.
Highlights of the Movie: There is a stupid and pathetic song, in which the lyrics as much as order the woman of the house to be tied into the kitchen, and that the husband is the one who FEEDS her.
The final dance of the song is another perverted jig, wherein the wife removes her clothes ornaments, and falls at the feet of her husband [It is done in a bharatanatyam way, where they just act and don’t remove the actual thing. :)]
Well, the movie revolves around a ad campaign, for which Govinda is chosen because he is a simple and lucid man, the ad campaign is for a milk brand. God knows how in between it turns out to be a ad for Dabur Sona Chandi Chawyanprash.
Well, the movie starts with an adage that if you touch the feet of your mother, success will be at your feet.
How can a man, who has such a perverted outlook to womenkind in totality, respect and revere motherhood?
Let this be told today, if Govinda has anyone to thank for his success, it is his mother. Who had tried very very very hard for her ’Govind’ to get some work in the film industry. Well, it is some fifteen to twenty years back. I doublt if anyone remembers it.
Suck this movie.
