Pritam and Pedro web series review
Every once in a while Rajkumar Hirani tends to amaze us with his wizardry. No, it is not with a movie this time but he has chosen a new medium for the surprise and tis the idiot box. For the first time he has conceived a six episodic OTT series - Pritam and Pedro which is now streaming on Jiostar. Though not directed by him he does have two major contributions to it. One, he the producer/presenter and two - he unleashes his son Vir for the first time and he has chosen the small screen to do so. Vir is an alumnus of the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in London. He plays the crucial eponymous character of Pritam in the title, the ethical hacker, to Arshad Warsi's Pedro the cop.

This cop drama is engaging

This six episode web show about a kidnapping which turns into a chase to identify the perpetrators with a plot about suicide and subsequently revenge then e ....

Badass Ravi Kumar movie review
Himesh Reshammiya is back with Xpose Cinematic Universe's latest film Badass Ravi Kumar. The film sets out to entertain you like no other in recent times. Himesh Reshammiya’s portrayal of the titular character of the super cop Ravi Kumar is so unselfconsciously over the top that it’s quite hard not to get sucked in. And what exactly I like about the film is the way Himesh has made it clear right in the beginning that the film literally screams in bold, flashy letters: "Logic is optional." You are taken back on a time machine to the golden old 70’s and 80’s It is stupidity on our part to look out for a plot in this film but it is just enough to state that there is a typical love triangle too in the film, when two sisters Laila (Kirti Kulhari) and Madhubala (Simona J) are head over heels in love with Ravi Kumar (Himesh Reshammiya), who, a la Allu Arjun in Pushpa is all moustache ....

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 ....

Nakkash movie review
Varanasi (Benaras) is the backdrop of Nakkash which is actually an offbeat film that succeeds in conveying the writer-director's message that the supreme power, whether you call it as God or Allah; it doesn't differentiate between religions. There are dialogues such as Bhagwan is Allah's brother and the other one is that spoken by the protagonist - to have been born in the holy city of Varanasi is in itself a privilege. Thankfully, the director of Nakkash doesn't resort to depicting the gory violence between the two communities, yet the differences between them are honestly and subtly portrayed... unlike the political leaders of the Hindus and Muslims who play their cards subtly and wolfishly to keep the differences alive so as to keep their "dukaan jaari" (to fructifully carry on their respective business). Nakkash is the story of a handcraftsman who is a talented engraver spec ....

MS Dhoni, movie review
This film inspires the youth of today and further shows the importance of taking the right decisions at the right time. The film is about the man you know, but not his journey. That's what this biopic is about. M S Dhoni - The Untold story follows the journey of this outstanding wicket keeper and acclaimed cricket captain in India - Mahendra Singh Dhoni, right from his origins as a budding cricketer from Ranchi and then becoming the most successful captain of Indian Cricket Team. Some of the several prominent aspects of Dhoni's life that we weren't aware about was that he initially disdained cricket and his penchant for football instead and then his signature "helicopter shot" which was taught to him by his friend Santosh Lal.
