Overview:
Veteran actress Juhi Chawla returns in the web series “Hush Hush,” a crime thriller currently available on Amazon Prime Video. The series also stars Karishma Tanna, Soha Ali Khan, Shahana Goswami, and Kritika Kamra. Here’s a closer look at the show.
Plot Summary:
The story revolves around four friends: Ishi Sangamitra (Juhi Chawla), Saiba Thomas (Soha Ali Khan), Dolly Dalal (Kritika Kamra), and Zaira Sheikh (Shahana Goswami), who attend a lavish party hosted by Dolly’s in-laws. Ishi, who works at a PR agency, gets into an altercation with a stranger outside the party. When the stranger attempts to kill Ishi, Dolly intervenes and shoots him to protect her friend. Ishi assures her friends she will manage the situation and they need not worry. Shockingly, Ishi commits suicide the following morning, leaving her friends baffled and determined to uncover the truth. Officer Geeta Tehlan (Karishma Tanna) takes on the case, delving into the high-profile murder mystery. Who was the stranger? Why did he target Ishi? What led Ishi to take her own life? How do the friends navigate the aftermath? The answers unfold throughout the series.
Highlights:
The show boasts a compelling premise and a strong start. The main characters are well-developed, each with their own backstory and personal drama that adds depth and intrigue. Beyond the core group, two additional characters are noteworthy and contribute significantly to the narrative. The performances by the lead cast are impressive, enhancing the show’s appeal. The concluding episodes are particularly engaging, with a gripping investigation and an emotionally charged backstory for Ishi, punctuated by well-placed twists.
Drawbacks:
While the individual characters are well-executed, the deep bond between the four friends is not convincingly portrayed. The series attempts to set up a second season, resulting in an abrupt ending and an unnecessary cliffhanger. The story could have been neatly wrapped up in a single season. After an intriguing start, the series loses momentum in the middle episodes. The script’s potential is underexplored, and the series’ length exacerbates these issues.
Technical Aspects:
Arijit Datta’s background score complements the series’ tone effectively. Shaz Mohammed’s cinematography skillfully captures the dark, moody atmosphere essential for a crime thriller. However, the editing could have been tighter to improve the overall pacing and impact. The direction, shared by Tanuja Chandra, Kopal Naithani, and Ashish Pandey, results in a series that is strong in parts but lacks cohesion overall. A more focused approach on the central relationships and a conclusive ending would have benefited the series.
Conclusion:
“Hush Hush” offers moments of brilliance with its twists and strong performances but is hindered by uneven execution, a rushed conclusion, and sluggish middle episodes. It makes for a moderately engaging watch this weekend.
