Mastizaade (2016)
Queen of bum (web)
25 October 2017
I was really motivated to discover the mainstream Hindi movies featuring Sunny because beyond her beautiful charm, she has a really cool, open, light and smiling attitude!

The 1st thing I notice is that my country is closed to (discriminates?) this civilization: Indian has 4 more population than US; produces 2 time more movies than US and in France, we screen only US movies and 0 Hindi! The famous invisible hand of the market has racial prejudices ???

The 2nd thing I discover is that India seems to be a really conservative country: while in the west, this movie would appeal to teens, over there, it is labeled a adult movie.. Did Sunny get back to her past occupation then? No way: everyone is clothed here but talking about sex and desire seems to be a provocation… In addition, every time an animal (donkey, horse) appears, the audience is warned that no harm was done… very refreshing for a liberal westerner…

The 3rd thing I keep is that once again, it's a movie about twins who are physically very different… Sunny has not the talent of Noomi for sure but she equals Laurel & Hardy…

This said, the movie is quite funny: the production should appeal to Mickael Youn fans because there is the same joy to talk and act bad just for fun… The locations are quite beautiful and exotic and the cultural touch with the very colored clothes, way of life, decoration helps the movie… The characters are quite stereotypical but that's because they are easy to follow that the silly things can happen… Sure the movie is a bit too long, some scenes are quite useless but at the end, I had a good time…

And what about Sunny? Honestly, her dance and musical moments are similar to what she did before (a lot of tease) but with clothes on now… In the talking moments and with her partners, she is OK because as I wrote earlier she knows how to be engaging
