6/4/2023 0 Comments Hush hush second bookThe performances are all above par but the script lacks the 'masala' essential to grip the viewer. Juhi Chawla's Ishi is a PR professional and a power broker, Soha Ali Khan as Saiba is a former journalist who gives up her job to start a family, Kritika Kamra's Dolly is married to an infertile man in a Punjabi household where she is under pressure to provide an heir, Shahana Goswami as Zaira, is a fashion designer who is straddling between her love life and work life. From the fourth episode, the narrative shifts, gets stretchy, predictable and turns into a laborious watch. The first three episodes of Hush Hush draw you in there is a thrill in following the complicated, grey lives of these women who stand united in keeping a secret even as they are weighed down by the expectations they have from each other. In its very first episode, as we are introduced to the “hot, happening and highly eventful” lives of four well heeled women based in Gurugram, the viewers may be reminded of the narratives around equally well-placed women in Four More Shots or that of the luxe lives of four women in Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives or the foursome in Big Little Lies on HBO. In that context, Hush Hush on Amazon Prime is a winner. There is something very exciting about stories centred around the intertwined lives of strong and financially independent women friends-especially in urbane, corporate setups-who stand up for one another, have each other's back, bitch, binge, and navigate personal and professional loops together.
