Negative
reviews:
• "The plot of Hey Sinamika is
outdated and regressive. The film promotes the idea that women are responsible
for making their husbands happy, even if it means sacrificing their own
happiness." - The Indian Express
• "The execution of the film is
also poor. The pacing is slow and the film drags in places. The director could
have chopped off at least 15 minutes from the runtime." - 123telugu.com
• "The film portrays
relationships in a very problematic way. Yaazhan is shown to be a perfect
husband who is always trying to please his wife, while Mouna is shown to be a
selfish and ungrateful woman who is never satisfied." - The News Minute
Overall,
Hey Sinamika is a mixed bag. It has some good elements, such as the
performances of the lead actors, the cinematography, and the music, but it is
also let down by its outdated plot, poor execution, and problematic portrayal
of relationships. Whether or not you enjoy the film will depend on your
individual preferences.
