Description: **Sukhee: A Comedy About Rediscovery**
Sukhee is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language comedy film, marking the directorial debut of Sonal Joshi. The film features Shilpa Shetty in the lead role, alongside Amit Sadh, Dilnaz Irani, Kusha Kapila, and Pavleen Gujral. Released on September 22, 2023, the storyline revolves around Sukhpreet “Sukhee” Kalra, a 38-year-old Punjabi housewife who is tired of her monotonous life. She travels to Delhi for her high school reunion, where she relives her teenage experiences. Over the course of seven days, Sukhee undergoes a transformation, rediscovering herself and shifting from the role of a wife and mother back to being a woman.
The film has received mixed reviews from critics, both domestically and internationally. Renuka Vyavahare from The Times of India rated it 3 out of 5 stars, noting that while it has a touching premise, it suffers from pacing issues and becomes overly preachy towards the end. On the other hand, Ishita Sengupta from OTTplay criticized the film for attempting to highlight the feminist aspects of homemaking, suggesting that it portrays this role as a problem needing resolution rather than celebrating it.
