Khandaani Shafakhana (2019)
Baby Bedi played by Sonakshi Sinha is a medical representative in the town of Hoshiyarpur. She dreams of setting up her herbal medicine business but is bogged down by debts. Her parental home is sought-after by her Uncle who is behaving like a hard-nosed creditor. She inherits her Uncle's sex clinic located in one of the city's prime areas but has to run it for six months before she can sell it off. Her mother is aghast at the idea but this is the only option before Baby Bedi. What follows is an uneven story of self-realization and breaking taboos about sex..

All said and done, the intent is pure but the story isn’t pious. This could’ve been another Shubh Mangal Saavdhan, only if it had better writing. Skip it to watch it on a lazy day months from now, still not sure if you’ll be able to finish it..

is the very picture of a down-on-her-luck Punjabi matriarch. Sonakshi Sinha, who seems to have lost oodles of weight, has given her all to the film. She does come across as a sassy middle-class working girl struggling to better her life. Her tenacity towa.

With so many maladies plaguing the movie, it's too bad there's nothing like a scriptwriting Shafakhana..

This insistence on a ‘balancing act’ lets the film down. Which is a pity because this film could have been something. Annu Kapoor, playing a sympathetic lawyer here, reminds us of Vicky Donor, which first opened up conversation around sex and virility.

Khandaani Shafakhana is at best a one-time watch and is a treat for only, and only, Sonakshi Sinha fans.

In the past, we have seen films like ‘Vicky Donor’ and ‘Shubh Mangal Savadhan’ handle sensitive subjects (read sperm donation and erectile dysfunction) with class, tact and comedy. While this film’s intent is bang on, what it really needed was a.
