Haseen Dillruba movie review
'Jawani janeman haseen dillruba, mile do Dil Jawan nisar Ho Gaya, Shikari khud yahan shikar Ho Gaya' thus sang Parveen Babi in Namak Halaal at that time we never visualised or even thought in our wildest dreams that we will be viewing and reviewing two vastly different movies which are titled with the first two letters and then the subsequent two letters of the song. So we had a dud in Jawani Janeman of Saif not too long ago, my sympathies with Aliyah Furniturewala, now it's the turn of Haseen Dilruba which is aptly described in the follow up line of the song i.e. Shikari Khud yahan shikaar ho gaya, any which way you see it. Now streaming on Netflix fresh out of Bollywood oven - which has this as it's catch line 'A damsel in distress or a devil's mistress' presenting the effervescent 'Haseen Dillruba'. It is a frothy mix of many stories like Taming the Shrew, Unfaithful, Fatal Attr ....

Ginny Weds Sunny review
There seems to be a marriage season going on Netflix amidst this Covid-19 enforced slowdown what with the web series 'A Suitable Boy' and now - Ginny Weds Sunny, that is directed by debutante Puneet Khanna and produced by Vinod Bachchan and released on Netflix. People seem to be missing the marriage festivities with so many limitations and restrictions in place, it's only fair that atleast we can enjoy it on the net. Being released as a Netflix original movie and a decent star cast we had high hopes from this one. It started off well. The matchmaking game in the beginning though far-fetched, one could still digest but somewhere wanting to be different from Tanu weds Manu and other marriage runathons and to be too raw and very real it petered out in the end. The punch, the usual pull at the heartstrings was missing in Ginny weds Sunny and it all looked very forced, well no one can f ....

Dil Dhadakne Do – Movie review
It begins with the introduction of the dysfunctional Mehra family which consists of Kamal Mehra (Anil Kapoor) a self made successful businessman who is on the verge of bankruptcy. His wife is Neelam Mehra (Shefali Shah) who is often sarcastic in relating to him, yet she showers all her motherly love (and pampers) her grown up laadla Kabir Mehra (Ranveer Singh). Despite the Mehra couple having a million differences with each other, they pretend to the world that they are an ideal couple, showing off in the society as they are often concerned about what the people around speak of them. Their daughter Ayesha Mehra (Priyanka Chopra), inherits the acute business acumen of her father. Being a very successful entrepreneur, she has been featured by the 'Forbes' magazine. Ayesha is unhappy with her marriage to Manav (Rahul Bose), a consequence of her parents calculative moves. And finall ....

Kaanchi
A story of an innocent rural beauty and her fight against power. It is about the inner power of a strong girl who represents millions of suppressed youth against injustice in the country. Kaanchi is a dramatic journey of 18 years old girl from mountains to metro city from innocence to realization; evolution followed by a revolution, which wakes up, and inspires today youth against corruption of power. This film comes from Subhash Ghai who made memorable films like Kaalicharan, Karz, Vidhaata, Ram Lakhan, Hero, Meri Jung, Pardes and the last memorable one being Taal. Subhash Ghai disappoints with his latest release Kaanchi, which unfortunately, fails to go down as another memorable flick from the once upon a time, the showman of the Bollywood film industry of the nineties. Daughter of an ex-army man, Kaanchi (Mishti) is the stubborn girl who has given her heart to the local lad B ....
