Review of movie Hushaaru

×

Rating:3/5

Hushaaru is a proof of how you can tread the 'tried and tested' path and still make a reasonably engaging film. Four best buddies, parallel love lives, parental conflicts and their pressures to make a career, Hushaaru ticks all the boxes you expect out of a 'feel good buddy film'. It may not be the surprise of the year yes, although it's a spirited and an eventful narrative that rises above its flaws and stereotypes. The director Sree Harsha balances the film's commercial appeal with good music and breezy, slice of life treatment.

A graduate on the farewell day at commencement of the film blames Sekhar Kammula's Happy Days to have romanticised engineering life. Well, Hushaaru's similarity with the film ends there too. Hushaaru takes off where Happy Days left, and the unlike the former, this outing has four aimless characters who don't have girlfriends during their college days, have modest academic records that don't even aid them in attending corporate interviews. The film taps their desperation to fall in love, following their heart and their tryst with personal and professional hiccups. But for Tejus Kancherla, the lead cast comprises new faces and it helps Hushaaru be the carefree, light-hearted film it aspires to be, without much pretension.
