"Sui Dhaaga: Made in India" is an Indian inspirational love movie to be released in 2020. It is directed by Sharat Kataruya, starring Anushka Sharma and Varun Dhawan. The story is adapted from real events. It is told about the sewing machine shop. Mauji was optimistic and cheerful, but made a ridiculous appearance at a wedding, so his wife Mamta hoped that he could no longer rely on others. After a fierce quarrel between them, Mauji decided to leave and run a sewing shop of his own, starting with hard work and dedication.

★Optimistic dreamer spirit:

In recent years, Indian movies released such as "Sui Dhaaga", have gradually departed from our only impression of Bollywood movies, which are mostly singing and dancing and the joyful atmosphere in the movie is used to create entertainment impressions. The directors have discussed the current situation of Indian society and related issues. Whether it is gender, caste class, education system, or the problems that India with large populations may encounter in the process of social progress and economic development, these Indian issues have become the directors more care about.

★Story spindle:

"Sui Dhaaga" focuses the story on the protagonist, Mauji, who has the talent of a tailor but can’t show his talents. From his satisfaction with the existing state of affairs, to the decision to follow the steps of the tailor grandfather to start his own business. 

Through many difficulties, he experienced in the process, includes the relationship change between family members such as he and his parents, his wife, and the persistence to his dreams and even reflects the overall international situation, Indian customs and culture, and the social system.

Because he couldn't stand being ordered by his boss every day, he decided to run his own business with his wife's encouragement and affirmation. Although he was finally able to use his talents and move towards his long-term goals, he still carried the burden of an economic burden. 

When leaving the relatively comfortable life circle and making the decision to move forward in an unpredictable way, Mauji first encountered difficulties that his family didn’t understand his choice and questioned him so much and so on. Then how did he face and get over these.

This reminds me of the movie "Ford v Ferrari" which was released last year. It is also a story about a husband desperate everything to pursue his dream. Although the protagonist was eventually hired by Ford, he has a stable income that can support family operations. 

However, "Sui Dhaaga", Mauji must face the lack of business in the early days of self-made, and with a certain level of strength, but lack of opportunities and performance stage, the most important thing is whether you can get the support of people around you, and whether you have a strong determination to reach your goals.

The movie first used the mother's hospitalization to take a large amount of money to be the difficult challenge, but fortunately at the same time, he received the first orders to give him the motivation to continue. This is the reason why although many parts of this story may be quite heavy, but it also shows that even if people encounter difficulties, they still have to find a solution, or change their minds and try to find another way to solve them. 

The entire movie is based on that through countless difficulties, Mauji was gradually given the opportunity to grow, learn to get along with others, and the chance to affirm himself, so that the audience could feel the effort of a little figure for the survival.

★The Love

I've always liked Indian movie use of songs and editing ways to present the narrative of the character's hard work process. Not only does it deal subtly with those relatively unimportant, but it must also exist to make the story more coherent. 

To some extent, it can also moderately satisfy the audience's desire for songs, and take the opportunity to bring out the changes in the character's mood and the core value of the entire story in the lyrics.

This movie runs through the story with the gradually close feelings between the originally estranged couple. The movie tells the dreams of the little figures, but also changes the relationship between love and family. Just like the piece of cloth turned into a fine dress in the tailoring industry, and the two were tied together, so that the couple ’s love rose because of entrepreneurship, and they found each other ’s real minds. In India, there is a serious inequality between men and women. 

Marrying and supporting her husband become a society of unique value as a woman. It can be seen that "Sui Dhagga" has done everything it can to tell the story naturally, while not forgetting the thoughts the director wants to convey.

★The topic

"Fight for the ideal, or compromise with reality?" This is the struggle and contradiction of many inspirational movies. In this movie, Mauji and Mamta pursue the dream of tailors and costume design, except to go through a family revolution, the level of social reality is a test that can’t be ignored. 

Therefore, "Sui Dhagga" also presents the lack of resources and uneven distribution in India, as well as the large-scale production of garment manufacturing brings with the oppression to the survival of traditional handmade tailoring.

In addition, from the English translation of the movie's English title "Sui Dhaaga: Made in India", it can be seen that the director intends to follow the 2014 Indian government's promulgation to allow that there is a large number of working people in India able to be combined with the "Made in India" policy affirmed by the world. 

In the movie, through Mauji, he was dissatisfied with the clothes which labeled “made in China”, and he set up a traditional handicraft team to defeat the plot design of the garment manufacturer. India can carry forward its expectations on the international stage with originality and quality.

★Conclusion   

On the whole, "Sui Dhaaga: Made in India " combines inspirational and comedic rendering, not only through "needle thread" and a sentence "OK!" To show people's insistence on dreams and ideals, but also represents the relationship of the two main characters. 

In addition, the director still retains a description of the current state of society in the dramatic story, and makes Mamta played by Anushka Sharma a great existence in a male-dominated society in India and the love elements have also helped the movie a lot.
