The doings of four well-heeled friends in Gurugram, embroiled in a crime, looking for a way out, may remind you of the foursome in ‘Big Little Lies’, the HBO smasher which gave us women with real heft, entangled in personal and professional loops, and felt complexities. This was an average showing at best.The strongest feeling that I came away with after having watched the 7 episode- Hush Hush, streaming on Amazon Prime, is one of this-could-have-been-so-much-more. Writing first! Everything else can be managed with adequate funding but the write-up. As creators, one needs to understand, if you are planning to go big with your content, if you are that desperate to showcase your brazen demeanor by purposefully putting yourself into risky terrain, you might wanna strengthen your fundamentals i.e. And I do appreciate the fact that the creators took such an audacious initiative to strike invaluable conversations regarding these societal issues, but the writing here has bitten off more than it can chew.

The notions were there, crucial subjects like Women empowerment, child abuse, and toxic patriarchy, all were there, right in front. Barring its technical dexterities (which are to be expected, given, It is Amazon Original) and the performances delivered by a talented cast (Ayesha Jhulka, the name I would like to specially mention) I feel, the script here, on the whole, falls short of attaining its actual potential. Whilst the underline innuendoes are to be revered, the execution, I'm afraid, fails to hit the bulls-eye.
