Welcome to the Jungle movie review
Riding on the huge success of Welcome (2007) and Welcome Back (2015), the third installment of the Welcome franchise - Welcome to the Jungle attempts to revive the slapstick madness of its predecessors but struggles under its own colossal weight. While the original Welcome starring Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor, Paresh Rawal with Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif, and Welcome Back which again had Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar, Paresh Rawal with John Abraham and Shruti Haasan were perfectly in sync with the cinematic sensibilities of their respective eras, this latest chaotic venture feels severely outdated. There is no actual adventure in the jungle as the film's title suggests.

Absurd Economics, Vanishing Humor in Welcome to the Jungle

The core problem lies in its overcrowded canvas and an absolute disregard for narrative logic in a film that has a flawed premise and dated execution. ....

Ghudchadi movie pic
Streaming on the OTT platform – JIO Cinema, the first mention of this movie Ghudchadi would bring a picture in the mind of that of a big fat Indian wedding. By the way Ghudchadi is a North Indian custom during the wedding celebrations, the groom comes riding on a white mare along with a procession towards the wedding venue, usually being the bride’s home or any place arranged by the bride’s family. However the 'band baaja and  baraat' arrives only at the fag end of the movie and this happens after a lot of rona dhona, an unraveling of a truth and a car accident. It starts as an innocent tale of a family who love and respect each other, consisting of three individuals – one is the grandma Kalyani Devi (Aruna Irani), her son Veer (Sanjay Dutt) and her grandson Chirag (Parth Samthaan). The grandma is keen to get her grandson married before she kicks the buck ....

2 Chehre - Hindi movie review
A thriller drama about two brothers of diverse natures yet harbouring love and affection for each other. In fact, the audience is treated with the base themes from Kasme Vaade (1978) and the Hollywood's science fiction thriller Face Off (1997). For Suniel Shetty and Shatrughan Sinha fans this movie would be a journey into flashback 20 years back when these stars were at their peak. Two brothers played by Suniel Shetty as the younger brother and his elder bro Shatrughan Sinha. The elder brother is married and is a taxi driver who always ends up in a scuffle, and even a fight on certain days. His younger sibling Sunil is timid, soft spoken and a gentlemanly character. Sunil is his sister-in-law's favourite and his bhabhi always loved and cared for him. Sunil's bhabhi is played by Farah. And just after Sunil is married to Ravina (Raveena Tandon) he get killed while intervening i ....

Bombay Velvet, Hindi movie review
A period drama of the 60s, a visual treat of Bombay of that era, Bombay Velvet is created with artistic grandeur, has been let down by a confusing plot. Anurag Kashyap has to be applauded for lavishly recreating Bombay of the 60s. This is where it ends as the film has neither the entertainment factor or the chilly seriousness of a mafia ruling the politics and maneuvering the city plans for its benefits. Anushka Sharma is the cute fashionable jazz singer Rosie who sparkles in embellished body-fitting gowns. Bombay Velvet revolves around the story of how Bombay transformed its landscape during the 60s and 70s and the corrupt administration, which is hand in glove with the mill owners and the rich. This apart, the story is woven around the backdrop of Ranbir-Anushka romance. Ranbir Kapoor's character is used by people around him, including his mother. A small time hood, with a ....
