Y'day I Had An Opportunity To Watch The Latest Released Movie BAD NEWS. Well, I Was A Bit Hesitant For It But Subsequently I Decided To Go For It..! However, I Found The Movie Entertaining. One Of The Producers Is Karan Johar Who's Infamous To Play Old Songs Getting Remixed And Using It. Here Also He Has Utilized The Song From DUPLICATE kab maine ye socha tha (Alka Yagnik & Udit Narayan). Honestly, I Liked The Way It Has Been Used In The Film. It Does Sound Good In The Situation Of The Movie..! However, Opinions May Differ, But I Did Like It. I've Read The Reviews Also Telling That Trupti Dimri Has Lowered Her Standard After ANILMAL.. Which Standard They're Talking About, I Really Don't Understand..??!!! Anyway, The Storyline Is Just Interestingly Framed And Creating The Expected Humour And Subsequently Emotions Eke In The Later Part.. Overall, It's An Enjoyable Movie. Vicky Kaushal,Ammy Virk, Trupti Dimri,Sheeba Chaddha, Neha Dhupia And Others Have Played Their Roles As Per Demand. Anand Tiwari, As The Director,I Think Has Succeeded In Carrying Through The Storyline Smoothly. Music Department, Although Not Bad, Could Have Been Better. But Still, It's An Enjoyable Movie And If You're A Regular Movie Goer, You Will Enjoy The Movie. If Permitted, My Star Rating Would Be.. 3*

Good Evening, FRIENDS.. Had An Opportunity To Watch A Movie First Day First Show After A Long Time. It Was MR. & MRS.MAHI Today. Honestly, I Have Been A Rajkumar Rao Fan And Just Out Of Curiosity, I Chose This Movie Today. But To My Pleasant Surprise,It Turned Out To Be A Nice One..!!! A Fresh Story Line On The Backdrop Of Cricket Interests Of Both Husband And Wife Not Knowing About It. When Hubby, Mahendra (Mahi) Came To Know About Wife,Mahima (Mahi) Being A Good Hitter Of The Ball, He Inspires Her To Become A Cricketer As He Himself Happened To Be A Good Batter But Fell Prey To Dirty Politics Of The Game And Couldn't March Forward..! Superb Story & Screenplay And Dialogues Fairly Written Blended With Outstanding Execution By The LEAD ACTORS.. Wow Performances By RAJKUMAR RAO & JAHNVI KAPOOR. Rajkumar Rao Has Always Impressed Me With His Performances..Be It With STREE, NEWTON, TRAPPED, SREEKANT, SHAADI ME ZAROOR AANA, BAREILLY KI BARFI.. And This Being The Latest One..! Jahnvi Had Also Magnificently Performed In MILI Earlier And Again In This Movie Also She Proves That She's Is Not Just A Showpiece Heroine..! Story Very Well Nurtured.. Would Love To Give 1-2 Examples Of The Well Written & Nurtured Dialogues Exhibiting The Perfect Emotions Eke..!!! "ये ज़िंदगी की ऐसी रेस है जिस की कोई फिनिश लाइन नहीं है। होता है तो बस पड़ाव, और आगे जाकर एक और पड़ाव; ये सोच कर इंसान और भागता है कि वहां पहुंचे तो और खुशी मिलेगी, और नाम होगा। बस यही चलता रहता है और जिंदगी निकल जाती है। खुशी दिल में होनी चाहिए..!" "एक मां से बढ़कर कौन इसे समझ सकता है ; उसे तो बस अपने परिवार के लिए जो करने में खुशी मिलती है, इसके बदले में उसे क्या मिलेगा ये खयाल तो उसके दिमाग में भी नहीं आता..!" "ये सफ़र सिर्फ़ मेरा नहीं है, ये सफ़र हम दोनों का है, मेरा और मेरे पति की पार्टनरशिप का है। मंज़िल भले मैंने पाई मगर रास्ता उन्होंने तय किया है। मेरे लम्बे छक्कों की ताकत वो है, मेरे कवर ड्राइव की टाइमिंग वो है, और जो मैं उड़ान भर पा रही हूं क्यूंकि मेरी डोर वो है..!!!" और आखिर में एक पंच लाइन - "कोई अपना मंच दूसरों के साथ नहीं बांटता। अपना मंच ख़ुद बनाना पड़ता है..!" Rao & Jahnvi, Par Excellence Performances. Absolutely Superb Direction. I Would Say, THIS MOVIE IS NOT ABOUT CRICKET BUT IT'S ABOUT THE PERFECT UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE LIFE PARTNERS.. FULL OF EMOTIONS AND WHAT NOT.. The Only Lacking I Found Was In The Music Department. Where's That Enchantment..?!! Anyway, In My Humble Opinion, A MUST WATCH FOR REGULAR MOVIE LOVERS. A Family Entertainer Too, It Is..!!! If Allowed To Give Star Rating.. 3.75*

Good Afternoon, FRIENDS.. I Had An Opportunity To Watch The Movie "LAAPATA LADIES" Y'day. I Was A Bit Hesitant Before Going For It But Due To The Recommendation Of One Of My Friends Who Incidentally Is Active On Stages Too As Anchor, Actor And So On..! Hence I Decided To Go For It And Guess What..?!! It's Really A Wow Movie..!!! A SATIRE Told With Light HUMOUR & EMOTIONAL Treatment By Director Kiran Rao . Many DIALOGUES On The WOMANHOOD Are APTLY Written By Biplab Goswami , Sneha Desai & Divyanidhi Sharma. All Unknown Or Less Known FACES Have Performed At Their BEST. The Only ESTABLISHED NAME, Ravi Kishan PERFORMS Very Well..! GUYS, If You're The MOVIE BUFFOONS Like Me, This Is The Must Watch Movie.. If Permitted Star Rating.. 3.5*

Good Evening, FRIENDS.. Today I Watched The Movie ARTICLE 370 On First Day Itself.Usually, I Like To See Movies On Big Screen Only. This Movie, I Was Awaiting Eagerly Since I Saw Its Trailer. I Really Found It A GRITTY, RAW & The HARD HITTING FILM..! Absolutely Amazing,It Is..! As The Name Suggests,The Film Is Set In The BACKDROP Of EVENTS Leading Upto The ABROGATION Of 'Article 370' That Took Down TEMPORARY AUTONOMY Provided To The Indian State Of J&K Owing To A HISTORICAL REASON Dated To The PERIOD Of INDIAN INDEPENDENCE. The SOCIO-POLITICAL And LEGAL NATURE Of Situation Along With CHALLENGES To The SECURITY Of INDIA That Presented Itself PRIOR To And During The ABROGATION Of The ARTICLE 370 Has Been EXPLORED Very Effectively In The Movie. And The CHAIN Of EVENTS That Took Place In The Process, Has Been So Effectively And Without Unnecessary VIOLENCE Narrated That The Audience Sticks To The Seats. The PULWAMA MARTYRS, Just Before That MASSACRE Are Shown Reciting The Meaningful Poem.. "जलते ख़्वाबों की लपटों से एक दिया जलाना है, एक ज़ख्म की खातिर उसमें एक ज़ख्म मिलाना है; साथ निभाना पड़ जाए इतना कोई मजबूर नहीं, खोल दिया दिल का दरवाज़ा, जा जिसको जाना है..!!!" And After The BLAST, In The Background, MEANINGFUL LYRICS Leading Us To The INTERVAL Bringing TEARS In Our Eyes.. "अभी जाने दे मुझे, मैं तुझे फिर मिलूंगी। रब के पास जाकर नई तकदीर लिखाकर किसी मोड़ पे फिर मिलूंगी। अभी जानेदे मुझे, मैं तुझे फिर मिलूंगी..!!!" An Absolute, BEAUTIFULLY Made Movie,This Is, GUYS. Interesting Star Cast, This Movie Has, But No Big Names.. Yami Gautam, Arun Govil (Prime Minister), Irawati Harshe, Priyamani, Raj Zutshi And So On.. And They Have Performed Very Well Unto Satisfaction, Definitely..!!! Director Aaditya Jambhale Has Excellently Marvelled In Maintaining The Smooth Story Telling.. TONS Of Kudos And Hats Off To The Whole Team Of ARTICLE 370. THE MUST WATCH FILM.. If I Am Permitted To Star Rate.. 4.5* Good Night..

Good Afternoon, FRIENDS.. This Weekend, I Had An Opportunity To Watch The Newly Released Movie TERI BAATON ME AISA ULJHA JIYA.. Believe Me, Friends, I Have Been A Regular Movie Goer Since More Than 60 Years.. The Storyline Of This Movie, Probably Is Totally FRESH And Has Never Been Tried Earlier In Bollywood, I Guess..?!! Also, This Fresh Story Runs Very Smoothly Under The Directors' (2Directors) Able Guidance .. If I Am Not Wrong, Shahid Kapoor & Kriti Sanon Have Never Worked Together Earlier, But Believe Me Guys, They Make A Fabulous Pair With Splendid Chemistry..!!! The Rest Of The Starcast Is Also Quite Interesting.. Dimple Kapadia, Dharmendra,Rakesh Bedi And So On..! All The Characters Have Performed Unto Satisfaction. I Am Not Going Into The Technical Details Of The Film Since It's Available On The Promotion Campaign Page Of The Movie. However, I Would Say, This Is Definitely A One Time Watch And You Won't Lament It. Very Interesting Movie And SUPERB PERFORMANCES By SHAHID & KRITI. IF PERMITTED, I WOULD GIVE::: 3.5*

Good Evening, FRIENDS.. Heard Much About The Movie FIGHTER And Consequently I Went To Watch It Today And Guess What..! It's Really The CINEMATIC BONANZA.. A Fabulous Movie Seen In Recent Times An Added Directorial Venture By Siddharth Anand After WAR & PATHAAN.. 3 Super Hit Movies In A Row Means A Lot.. Isn't It..? Very Well Depicted PATRIOTISM..!!! I Swear, I Couldn't Leave My Seat Immediately After The Intermission Was Proclaimed..!!! Siddharth Has Very Well Captured This Art Of Captivating Audience By His Superb Direction And Keeping The Flow Of The Story In Tact..!!! The Small Example Of A Dialogue By Hritik Roshan In The Form Of A SHER Or SHAYARI.. "दुनिया में मिल जाएंगे आशिक कई, पर वतन से हसीं सनम नहीं होता। हीरो में लिपटकर, सोने में सिमटकर मरते हैं कई; पर तिरंगे से खुबसूरत कफ़न नहीं होता..!!!" A One Liner By Deepika Also..Just Have A Look.."कुछ सफ़र इतने अच्छे लगते हैं कि मंज़िल तक पहुंचने का मन ही नहीं करता..!!!" Apart From The Masterpiece Direction, Vishal - Shekhar's Music Also Is Not Only Very Catchy And Enchanting But At Times, Appropriate Inclusion Of The Patriotic Rhythm Also Is Depicted Very Nicely. All Actors,viz. The Zakkas Anil Kapoor, Axay Oberoi, Karan Singh Grover, Sanjeeda Shaikh And Above All.. Hritik & Deepika.. Have Performed Very Well.. 3 Cheers To The WHOLE TEAM OF FIGHTER. IT HAS EXCELLED IN ALL THE DEPARTMENTS..! A MUST WATCH FAMILY ENTERTAINER... IF PERMITTED STAR RATINGS.. 4.5*

This Second Day Of UTTARAYAAN, I Went To Watch The Shriram Raghavan Movie "MERRY CHRISTMAS" With A Hope To Entertain Myself On A Specific Festival Day. However, I Am Really Very Sorry To Write That It Disappointed Me Totally. Storytelling Pace Is Pretty Slow And Not Breath Taking As It Should Be In This So Called Mystery Thriller..!!! Neither Enchanting Music Nor Some Foot Tapping Rhythm..!!! However, Katrina & Sethupathi Both Have Performed Well But In My Humble Opinion Raghavan Has Failed In Keeping The Pace Of The Movie Unto Satisfaction. If I May, I Would Give Maximum 2**

Good Evening, FRIENDS.. Had An Opportunity To Watch The Movie "THE VACCINE WAR".. An Another BONANZA In A Row After The FANTABULOUS "THE KASHMIR FILES" By VIVEK RANJAN AGNIHOTRI In Association With His Better - Half, PALLAVI JOSHI That Not Only CAPTIVATES Your ATTENTION But Compels You To Get Engrossed Into The STORY LINE, Although We All Know About What Had Actually Happened During THAT PERIOD In India & Globally..!!! That's The MASTER CRAFTSMANSHIP..!!! Look At The Star Cast.. Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, Girija Oak, Sneha Miland, Nivedita Bhattacharya, Mohan Kapur And Above All The One & Only NANA PATEKAR. All These Characters Are Shown As Either Scientists Or Related Fields. There's One More Important Name, RAIMA SEN Who Plays Rohini Singh Dhulia, A MEGALOMANIAC Science Journalist Who Helps The Foreign Pharma Company In Demoralising This INDIGENOUS VACCINE WAR With PERSERVERANCE So That She Can UNDERMINE This INDIGENOUS VACCINE CAMPAIGN And Help HER Foreign Pharma Masters..!!! RAIMA SEN Has So Effectively Performed HER Character That Through Out The Movie, She Went On To Receive Bad Names And That,In My Opinion, Is HER Extra Ordinary Performance..!!!!! A MUST WATCH MOVIE,GUYS.. PLEASE GO AND ENJOY THE BONANZA IN THE THEATRES..!!! IF PERMITTED.. 5*
