Tiku Weds Sheru movie review: Your eyes glaze over while watching this dated Nawazuddin Siddiqui-starrer – The Indian Express
The scummy underbelly of tinseltown is the place Tiku Weds Sheru resides, with its parade of leering producers, starstruck ladies being pressured into ‘compromising’, and junior artists being shoved round on units. Nothing new in any of this, however what you’ll anticipate from such a movie which comes from a Kangana Ranaut manufacturing is one thing sharper and edgier, given her personal singular trajectory as an outsider who made it large in Bollywood.
Sheru (Nawazuddin Siddiqui) is one among the many a whole bunch of hapless people making an attempt to hack a life on the periphery of the Mumbai movie trade. Sheru sits the place he’s instructed to, stands the place he’s instructed to: if he strikes an inch, he’s yelled at, or simply changed with one other dispensable individual. As a sideline, he additionally provides medicine, and ladies, and is beholden to a gaggle of goons. Into his life enters the gorgeous Tiku (Avneet Kaur) who needs to flee her abusive Bhopal house, and grow to be a ‘celebrity’, and with that the movie launches right into a relationship drama which by no means feels convincing.

It’s ironic that these touchy-feely components added to the plot to steadiness the foul-mouthed, sordid elements are those which really feel most pedestrian. Zoya Akhta’s ‘Luck By Probability’ did it proper. The preliminary battle between the a lot older Sheru and the wet-behind-the-ears Tiku, turns into mush inside a heartbeat. A few subsequent scenes hit house tougher: Tiku grabbing the oily meals laid out for junior artists to take again house tells you extra in regards to the hardscrabble lives of the folks whose job is to make the primary acts look good, than the rest within the movie. The thread with the villains-in-their-dens, performed by Vipin Sharma and Zakir Hussain, feels superfluous.
To start with, Nawaz seems to be like an excellent match for the position, in his too-bright garments and an air of regularly making an attempt to courageous his harsh circumstances. As does Kaur, as a small-town woman who’s determined to hit the limelight. However they by no means fairly match collectively: you may by no means overcome the queasiness attributable to seeing Sheru slobbering over Tiku. Equally, a scene wherein a ‘talent-spotter’ conducts an ‘audition’ to steer the woman in direction of a sleazeball producer is a lot part of the DNA of those movies, that your eyes glaze over.
