REVIEW: Suno Na... is unbearable

One thought a film is made for a message, with entertainment thrown in. But when the attempt is to have multiple messages, the director should ideally have a clear idea how to project it. But that rarely happens with first-time directors.

Amy Thanawala's directorial debut, Suno Na - Ek Nanhi Aawaz had the potential to be a cute film about an unwed mother's foetus talking to her. But it turns out to be more irritating than cute. So disrupting was the 'talking foetus' to the story's flow, that one of the critics present at the venue shouted, 'Kill the d*** thing!' That should already tell you how bad the film is. But we'll still talk about it, considering it's a first-time effort.

Anupama (Tara Sharma) is jilted by her lover when she becomes pregnant with his child. Predictably, she decides to keep the child against the wishes of her family. She moves to Mumbai with her friend Raina (Rinku Patel) and gets herself a job.

In the meantime, she starts hearing her unborn talking to her, and chats with it every now and then. Wondering if it's a boy or a girl, they call it 'Sammy' (we could've been spared the crude 'organ' jokes though).

The story develops as three different men take an interest in her – one is her musician neighbour, H.M.V. (Avinash Tiwary). The other is a simple, middle-class man called Dhruv Shah (Dharmendra Gohil), a prof at 'H.N.D.T.' college. The third is Anupama's senior at work, a man with no guts called Deepak (Makrand Shukla).
