Much better than what I expected. But only a one-time watch at best with some high points in acting SONALI CABLE https://kartikr.blogspot.com/2014/10/sonali-cable.html

There is an idea in the name of story. Screenplay is forced. Nothing appealing in dialogues even. Every possible twist is tried to incorporate without justifying them. There is love, politics, murder, hacking and fight for existence. I was unable to understand the title itself and remained so after watching the film. Every big company wants to undertake or buy a small venture by hook or crook, its very old thing but there was nothing new so I could feel attached with the fight for survival of Sonali Cable. Female protagonist introduced while jumping one roof to another like cakewalk. I was expecting some realistic touch from this movie but this shot shattered my expectation. Cuts from one scene to another are beautiful. Love is second plot but it is assumed that they are in love rather than showing some beautiful romantic moments. Performance wise Ali Fazal as Raghu is OK. Reah Chakraborty as Sonali is fine. An actor who played Bobby Bose is impressive. Raghav Juyal as Sada is very good. Anupam Kher is just OK.

awful is the word. specially that dancer was the most annoying character in the movie. Screenplay is forced. Nothing appealing in duologue's even. Every possible twist is tried to incorporate without justifying them. Anupam sir talent seems to be wasted. We just went to the theater that it must be an art movie or something like that. but swear it was a joke in name of a movie. seriously i am to much annoyed. There are some vivid patches in this David-Goliath war, but overall consistency and credibility is a problem. The leading lady tries for perkiness but comes off as a weak link, her foul-mouthiness more forced than natural. Kher is over-the-top. Fazal is a good addition to the team, even if he is in the same mode as he was in 'Bobby Jasoos'. And I like Swanand Kirkire in his acting gigs : he makes things believable even when he is patently on a set. This could have been a modern day fable, but 'Sonali Cable' is not that film.

It is laborious to sit through the 127 minute-long film, and soon you are left wondering if director-writer Acharya bit off far more than what he could chew with this one. After watching the film, one gets the feeling that he put way too many issues on his plate, and when it came to arranging his full plate, he couldn't handle the task. Simply put, he fails miserably in establishing his credibility as someone who is serious about handling the issues. Ditto for the emotions, the obvious by-product of any big versus small player fight: Acharya, it seems, just forgot the cardinal rule that one needs to build the tempo if you want those vulnerabilities to resonate with the audience.
