~Worth Watching~
Delicious
—The amount of hypocrisy was unbelievable 😂 Lots of pretense among the characters, appearing one way but in fact being someone else.
It was hilarious and at the same time sad to see that people can comfortably live a life of lies: an eye-opener
—One of the things we loved was that the movie was shot in a cinema vérité style where the handheld camera improvised random movements to give an authentic and realistic view of the story.
This honestly made SDCS come alive as the camera fed our curiosity and invited us to peep into the characters’ lives
—Rajesh’s brother-in-law was definitely our favorite guy! It was so funny how he kept a serious face while pestering Shinoy (Prasant Murali) with many questions at every stage of the cooking process 😁
Bland
—So, SDCS mainly showed a bunch of guys gathered together to have drinks and be merry while preparing a birthday meal
99% of them were drunks who made the wrong decisions and lived egocentric lives. Then, the women were sober and sensible to correct men’s mistakes.
This kinda threw off a generally bad image of men, unless Jeo Baby intended to show how alcohol is powerful enough to derail a man’s path in contrast to Santosh who was the reformed one among the friends🤔
—The inclusion of some characters didn’t really enrich the narrative, e.g. Achu the vlogger and Dijo the NRI
—SDCS will mostly appeal to an audience that enjoys partying and drinking to have a good time; the rest of us were more like spectators
