[ad_1] The Harvey Weinstein incident has sent shockwaves around the world and has once again put the spotlight on the existence of casting couch in the business of cinema. It’s coincidental that at this juncture, Deepak Shivdasani is out with his film, JULIE 2 , which also talks about this aspect. The issue is definitely relatable and the numerous sex scenes can ensure that the film will get frontbenchers in large numbers. So does JULIE 2 manage to entertain and titillate? Or does it fail in its endeavour? Let’s analyse. JULIE 2 is the story of a girl who is forced to compromise in order to climb the ladder of success in Bollywood. Julie ( Raai Laxmi ) is a successful film actress who has bagged the biopic of the late Sumitra Devi, the wife of power broker Ashwini Asthana (Pankaj Tripathi). Four months later, she converts to Christianity on her 25 th birthday and then informs everyone by addressing a press conference about it. After the press conference, she goes to a jewellery shop w

[ad_1] Making a period film that is set in the pre-independence era is no easy task. Recreating the mannerisms, setting, costume and prevalent atmosphere of that time is a feat which if done well, turns out to be a visual spectacle. With FIRANGI, debutant director Rajiev Dhingra attempts just that. But will the film that stars Television’s funny man Kapil Sharma entice the audience or will it like so many other period dramas be lost in the history, is what we analyse. FIRANGI starts off with a voice over by the legendary Amitabh Bachchan , who details the settings and atmosphere of the pre-independence era and India’s fight for freedom. At the same time, the narrative describes the setting of the quaint little town where the film’s lead protagonist Manga (Kapil Sharma) lives. From there on, the film follows Manga’s struggle to land a job within the police for the British forces where he fails repeatedly. However, Manga has one special gift; he is able to rectify any spinal ailment wit

[ad_1] While a horde of films of Sunny Leone released in 2016 like MASTIZAADE, ONE NIGHT STAND, BEIIMAAN LOVE, in 2017 the actress was often spotted only in special dance numbers in some popular films.

[ad_1] FUKREY in 2013 came sans much noise but emerged as a sleeper hit thanks to its quirky writing, the lovable Delhi vibe and engaging execution. Hence, it was no surprise that FUKREY RETURNS was announced and it’s interesting that the same star cast has been retained. So does FUKREY RETURNS manage to be as good as or better than its predecessor? Or does it pale in comparison and fails in its endeavour? Let’s analyse. FUKREY RETURNS tells the story of the Fukras and the madness that ensues after their arch nemesis comes out from jail. One year after getting Bholi Punjaban (Richa Chadha) arrested, the gang of boys – Hunny (Pulkit Samrat), Choocha (Varun Sharma), Zafar ( Ali Fazal ) and Lali (Manjot Singh) are enjoying their time.

[ad_1] Making a sci-fi film of late has become considerably easier with the advancements in technology. However developing a script and story that truly redefines the genre and holds the viewer in rapture is something that only a few have perfected. This week’s release STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI that comes as the eighth instalment in the epic Star Wars franchise boasts of both these aspects, good visuals coupled with a good script and story. But will the film that already enjoys a massive cult like fan following set new benchmarks at the Indian box office is the question we analyze. Before we start, since STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI is a continuation in a long line of films, there will definitely be throwback references to the previous films, so just in case you think of taking the time to watch this part without an inkling of the previous, you will be left with unanswered questions. STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI starts off with the Resistance led by Princess Leia on the run from the First Orde

[ad_1] The festive season and the year-end is around the corner and it’s usually a time when a big, event film hits the theatres. This year it’s the turn of Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer TIGER ZINDA HAI and it has a lot of factors going in its favour. Apart from being the sequel of the blockbuster EK THA TIGER [2012], the film boasts of an excellent star cast, slick, action-packed trailer and chartbuster music. So does the year end on a high with TIGER ZINDA HAI? Or does the film disappoint? Let’s analyse. TIGER ZINDA HAI is the story of an Indian and Pakistani spy coming together for a greater cause. Tiger (Salman Khan) and Zoya (Katrina Kaif) escape from the clutches of ISI and RAW and then they start living an idyllic life somewhere in the snow-covered ranges of Europe.

[ad_1] Back in 1995, we saw the release of the Robin Williams film JUMANJI. The film which was an adaptation of the 1981 children’s book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg went on to become somewhat of a classic with fans across the world. Now decades later, we see the release of a standalone sequel of the film that features Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Karen Gillan, Nick Jonas and Bobby Cannavale. But will the new age film live up to expectations or will it, like so many other recreations, be a washout is the question. Titled JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE, the film follows four high school kids who after being sent to detention, discover an old video game console and are drawn into the game’s jungle setting, literally becoming the adult avatars they chose. Once in the game, the four discover that you don’t just play Jumanji – you must survive it. To beat the game and return to the real world, they’ll have to go on the most dangerous adventure of their lives, discover w

[ad_1] Over the last few years, we have had several films on sports [CHAK DE INDIA, BHAAG MILKHA BHAAG, MARY KOM, M.S. DHONI : THE UNTOLD STORY, DANGAL , SULTAN , SAALA KHADOOS] and most of them have been fairly successful at the box office and have been loved as well. These flicks also tackled several issues apart from showcasing the sports element. But not a single film has talked about how sports is often taken up by people to get a stable government job. Anurag Kashyap ’s latest outing MUKKABAAZ talks about this aspect and several other issues faced by people in present-day India. So does it manage to make a great impact or tank? Let’s analyse. MUKKABAAZ is the story of a lower caste youth who faces innumerable hurdles when he falls in love with a girl from a higher caste. Shravan (Vineet Kumar Singh) is a low caste boxer in Bareilly who falls for Sunaina Mishra (Zoya Hussain). Sunaina however is the sister of the local goon Bhagwan Das Mishra (Jimmy Sheirgill) who vehemently disap

[ad_1] The maximum city Mumbai is unique and unlike any other metropolis in India. The manner in which people of different strata of society have no choice but to interact with each other and have a symbiotic association is a part of the city’s DNA. DELHI BELLY writer Akshat Verma’s directorial debut KAALAKAANDI attempts to throw light on this aspect of Mumbai but in a quirky way. So does it manage to entertain or prove to be a disappointment? Let’s analyse. KAALAKAANDI is the story of how people from diverse backgrounds converge in one maddening night in Mumbai. Rileen ( Saif Ali Khan ) finds out that he’s suffering from stomach cancer and that he has only a few days to live. Tara (Sobhita Dhulipala) is dating Zubin (Kunaal Roy Kapur) and has a flight to catch. She goes to meet Ayesha (Shenaz Treasury) as it’s her birthday.

[ad_1] Horror can never go out of fashion, despite the fact that many horror films in recent times like DOBAARA, RAAZ REBOOT, THE FINAL EXIT, MONA DARLING, ALONE etc haven’t done well. Vikram Bhatt, the horror expert of Bollywood, who made several scare fests in the past has now come up with 1921 , as a follow up to the 1920 franchise. So does he manage to give a chill down the spine this time? Or does he fail in giving audiences a scare? Let’s analyse. 1921 deals with a couple’s battle with extreme paranormal activities created by a ruthless and cursed spirit. Ayush (Karan Kundra) is from Mumbai (then Bombay) who plays the piano really well. The kind hearted and rich Wadia (Vikram Bhatt) tells him to go to the city of York in United Kingdom to learn music. He offers to sponsor Ayush’s fees and in return he has to be the caretaker of Wadia Manor in York. Ayush hence goes to UK. In the mansion, he starts having piano sessions where listeners are asked to pay him if they wish. Wadia’s ni

[ad_1] Akshay Kumar for long has been championing social and nationalist causes in his films with TOILET: EK PREM KATHA , AIRLIFT , JOLLY LLB 2 , HOLIDAY, BABY, NAAM SHABANA , among others. It would be safe to say that the actor has carved his niche with integrating pertinent issues in commercial cinema space, leading to few of his detractors limiting him to that particular category. Akshay, who also is one of the most bankable stars in the business currently, returns to the big screen with R Balki’s PAD MAN based on the issues, relating to menstruation, faced by underprivileged women in rural India. The film is produced by Twinkle Khanna ’s Mrs Funnybones Movies and has Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte in lead roles along with Kumar. So yes, with all this hoopla around PAD MAN, it is only logical to expect a lot from the film. Does it meet our collective expectations? Read on to find that out. We have you covered. The film revolves around life of Lakshmikant Chauhan (Akshay Kumar) bas

As Marvel continues to make more expensive and larger than life films, there comes Marvel’s 18th superhero film, BLACK PANTHER. There arrives Ryan Coogler’s sprawling saga which blends mythical tones with classic drama in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Black Panther was a character created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1966, the son of the king of the African nation Wakanda. The film opens with a monologue from King T’Chaka while he introduces his son T’Challa to the big world of Wakanda.
