Housefull 5 movie review
Housefull 5 is a no-brainer slapstick comedy that is high on overexposure of skin show and the actresses reduced merely as a glamour quotient. At times the males mouthing crude and tasteless (supposed to be humorous) jokes on female characters. There is a strand of it being a suspense thriller towards the end, which too isn't effectively conveyed. It is replete with crude and nasty comedy. This fifth film of the Housefull sequel completely lacks the finesse, class and crisp humour of it's earlier films, particularly the first two parts. One misses the original Batuk Patel (Boman Irani). In retrospect the earlier Housefull films delivered loud laughs, wild confusion and were rollercoaster comedies with slapstick humour and witty one-liners. A London-based billionaire, owner of a luxurious Cruise dies mysteriously during his birthday celebrations on the cruise. As per his will, after ....

Khel Khel Mein Poster
As our lives get password protected with smartphones emerging as the third inclusive as well as encompassing person in the bedroom, relationships are getting knottier than before.

Laxmii (2020) movie review
This movie was awaited for sometime because people wanted to see Akshay Kumar's daring transgender look in a saree. Laxmii released on OTT platform of Disney Hotstar on the 9th of November 2020. There were some fantastic promos, great posters, super trailers. All of which pointed to an entertaining masala horror movie with good dose of comedy put in to make it a universally watchable. There was also the controversy about its name which was then changed just before release from Laxxmi Bomb to Laxmii. All this was a sure shot formula for success at the hustings. No such luck though as the film Laxmii turned out to be a damp squib. A bomb that never went off. One sat through the whole movie for that moment to come, where the pent up expectation were answered but it never arrived. The start was punchy and it did give a scare down the spine. Then the scene with Akshay busting the myth o ....

Desi Boyz - movie review
Debutant director Rohit Dhawan is the son of prominent director David Dhawan who directed movies like Shola aur Shabnam (1992), Aankhen (1993), Raja Babu and even till late – Partner. To say honestly, the son is one up over his dad when it comes to delivering glossy comedy. One more thing, it has been given an adults certificate, maybe because of its particular content where the handsome studs operate as male escorts. Desi Boyz movie review... Desi Boys is the story of two friends, residing in the UK and the year is 2009. The world has been struck by the financial meltdown. But Nick Mathur and Jerry Patel don't feel a thing in their comfortable pad in London.

Thank You, movie review
Having given commercial hits like Welcome and Singh Is Kingg, Anees Bazmee is back with Thank You - yet another comedy again with his lucky mascot Akshay Kumar. It is an expensive film, shot in the fascinating locales of Greece, London, Thailand, Mumbai and Turkey. Thank You movie review... Raj, Yogi and Vikram – best friends, business partners, serial womanizers and happily married! Happy, because their lovely wives have no clue that their husbands cheat on them with every pretty young thing they can lay their eyes on. This film is based on infidelity of lecherous husbands who openly cheat on their wives. It is picturised in the high pitched night clubs and beautiful locales of Toronto and Vancouver in Canada. ‘Thank You’ shows the ladies as the classic Indian wife which we could see in those bollywood movies of last century. Have the times not changed? At least not for t ....
