De De Pyaar De

At the core of De De Pyaar De, there is a unique and interesting topic of the age gap in marriages. In one scene Ajay Devgn’s 50-year-old Ashish explains his confusion about getting married to a 26-year-old Ayesha as he fears how problematic things will be just after 10 years. The disappointment I felt after… Continue reading De De Pyaar De

Student of the Year 2

Student of the Year 2 has so many weird things. But the most prominent of them all was mixed martial arts getting called as Kabaddi. There was a recent YouTube video of Karan Johar analyzing a scene from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. And in that video, he was constantly mumbling the word, cringe. I was… Continue reading Student of the Year 2

Kalank

At one point towards the end of the film Kalank, Roop asks Zafar “Tum seedhe Jawab kyun nahi de sakhte?” (Why can’t you give straight answers?) And I was like, excuse me? You should hear yourself talking and perhaps ask the same question to every character in the movie including you. Some of you may… Continue reading Kalank

Kesari

This is a two and… Continue reading Kesari

Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota

Vasan Bala’s debut directorial Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota is an extremely fresh and hilarious interpretation of the heroics we have seen in Hindi cinema. It is pretty much like watching Deadpool as the story elements are typical yet tweaked like a wacky spoof. With the movie being able to create well etched out characters… Continue reading Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota

Photograph

The melancholic Miloni of Ritesh Batra’s new film Photograph is one character that talked a lot with minimal screen moments. Much like his earlier Mumbai based film, The Lunchbox, Batra again plays with the idea of connection between two people who didn’t know each other. Even though it is not as hard hitting as The… Continue reading Photograph

Badla

I have not seen The Invisible Guest even after knowing that Badla directed by Sujoy Ghosh is an official remake of this 2017 Spanish film. I wanted to go in without any clue of what will unravel and from that point, this Amitabh Bachchan  Taapsee Pannu starrer is indeed an engaging thriller. With the major… Continue reading Badla
