Is it just a coincidence that Gauri Shinde’s chose her protagonist to be an “entrepreneur” of Laddoos ? A Laddoo looks deceptively simple, but is just as difficult to make- ever running the risk that it might turn over-sweet, a little carelessness and the look might be unwelcoming. And that’s how much thought and care Shinde puts into the movie – there is so much love, care and detailing she pours into every frame that she, like the character in her film, ensures a perfectly brilliant looking, delicious and yet not over-sweet film. No. This is not a complicated film – there is no disability at its core, there is nothing shattering about the pathos of the character, but yet, there is everything relatable about the character of the movie. Shashi (Sridevi) is your typical Indian middle-class housewife – who is made feel incompetent simply because she struggles to throw an English phrase or two at a breakfast table. Or if she insists that the English teacher speak to her in Hindi.
