I just happened to get to this particular stage of philosophizing about masala during this movie, somewhere around the time the two separated twins are almost immediately juxtaposed again. In Suhaag's defense, of course this debate is not unique to or inherent in this film more notably than most other masala that comes to mind. What does it mean for us, as viewers, that we expect the least likely thing and it is almost always delivered (and eventually becomes not unlikely at all - in fact, usually requisite)? Discuss amongst yourselves. I've also been debating with myself over how much I care, and what it says about masala conventions, that sometimes the ironies and coincidences are so predictable and obvious that they're no longer very interesting.

(On the plus side, the fact that Vikram and Durga are married does prevent any teeth-gnashing over her being "spoiled" or worthless etc.)

I feel like the movie is saying that it's worse to be an unmarried mother, or a widow, than to put yourself and your loved ones in the path of a violent criminal who, in the 20+ years you have known him (or 41, if we want to go by Shashi's actual age), has given you nothing but financial, physical, and emotional grief and pain. Vikram then snatches it from her and says "Mere gold rolled on to this damn thread carries no weight." What possible reason, other than that in name they are married and were never technically separated, though lord knows they are in deed, does Durga have to maintain any sort of connection to or relationship with this man? I know it's 70s Bollywood, but this bothers me. I can't let it go, no matter what." Oh, the memento of the guy who blinded one of your sons, shot the other in the arm, and kidnapped you just now and brought you into this giant rambling fight? The one who's putting you and all the people you love in all this danger? Yeah, he's a peach. Despite all the wrong and harm that he does - and I haven't even listed his deeds as a general criminal blight on society - Durga goes on and on about how Vikram is her husband and she owes him support and respect and blah blah blah.Įven at the big climatic fight scene at the end, when creepy Jeevan demands payment from Durga to tell her where her long-lost son is, she won't give up her mangal sutra with the rest of her jewelry. Which leads me to my only real problem with this movie. To quote her dad, Vikram destroyed Durga's life. There are several very bad things: he refuses to recognize their marriage he refuses to recognize their twin boys or give them any support and therefore they are split up by evil Jaggi (Kader Khan), with one, Kishan (Shashi), being raised in poverty by single Durga and another, Amit (Amitabh), being raised by creepy Jeevan in a bar the confrontation over this issue causes her father to have a heart attack and die as adults, her sons are both physically injured by Vikram and he lies to her, kidnaps her, and abandons her in a car wreck as he flees the police.
Many thanks to Antarra for sending me Suhaag, which is impossible to get in my town!ĭoc Bollywood has just posted about Suhaag too!Ĭan we talk about title for a moment? Is it used ironically? My Oxford Hindi-English dictionary says suhaag means "the auspicious state of wifehood." But other than the birth of her children, there is exactly one remotely good thing that happens to Durga (Nirupa Roy) because of her relationship with villain Vikram (Amjad Khan).
