Saw Virgin Bhanupriya on ZEE5. Urvashi Rautela was either overacting or totally expressionless. Gautam Gulati should only make appearances in Bigg Boss. Archana Puran Singh & Niki Walia were unbearable. The actor who played Bhanupriya's father had to say such stupid lines that I wonder why he agreed to play this character. Poor story with cringy dialogues. Avoidable.

Saw the film on Prime. It has to be one of the worst film ever made in cinematic history. There is no story, unnecessary characters and scenes. Looks like the director shot some music videos and then linked them. Difficult to decide whose acting was worse. Total waste of time.

Chhichhore- 100/100 to Nitesh Tiwari for giving us a super humorous & emotional film after Dangal. The gang of 7 students have given such a wonderful performance that by the end you'll only remember Anni, Sexa, Maya, Acid, Mummy, Bewada & Derek. The film had such a well written script & characters that they complemented each other. Every actor has performed so well that it was difficult to decide who was the best. Prateik Babbar isn't on Chhichhore's posters but he's outstanding as Raggie. He has totally changed his look & body language & looked like the perfect college student. This is the first time I have seen Naveen Polishetty & Tushar Pandey in well written roles. I don't think anyone else would have suited the characters. Special mention to the actor who had 2 scenes as Sundar's Dad. He was too good & the audience clapped in both the scenes. Film has started slow but I'm sure that it'll definitely do 100 Crore + & will be highest earner of September. Mindblowing climax. Must watch.

Saw the film on Amazon Prime. It's slow and predictable. Neither there is any newness in the story nor there are any good actors. Total waste of time. I wonder why such films are made. Karishma Sharma should stick with Ekta Kapoor's, Balaji Telefilms if she wants to stay in the industry.

Judgementall Hai Kya is the result of reading too many Sidney Sheldon novels. The story is a compilation of random episodes which fail to form any emotional connect between the characters & audience. 2nd half is worse than the 1st. Rajkumar Rao's character was so poorly written that any junior artist could have done it. Kangana Ranaut has tried her best to play a character who suffers from acute psychosis but the writing is so inconsistent that by the end she looks unconvincing. After watching the trailer of the film, I had expected a dark comedy like Andhadhun but the film disappoints in every sector. Dialogues and music are below average. If Sriram Raghavan had written the film, it could have been a masterpiece. Instead of wasting your time and money on this film you can watch "Money Heist " on Netflix this weekend.

Saw Crazy Crazy Feeling on Prime. it's really very predictable and outdated. in the 90s we had films like this. Some scenes were funny but overall the film is slow and boring.

Gully Boy is as realistic as it gets. Ranveer Singh is 'Ek Number', Bahut Hard. Within 5 minutes he has totally transformed himself into a shy guy Murad who obediently follows his parents wishes. Music gives him the voice and he decides to follow his dreams. Murad becomes Gully Boy and we can hear the raw emotions and his struggles every time he is on stage. Siddhant Chaturvedi as MC Sher has given an equally mind blowing performance. This is his debut film but he didn't let Ranveer Singh overshadow him in any scene. Alia Bhatt as Safina is the force behind Murad. She is his support system. This film was totally a Ranveer Singh film, still Alia Bhatt has managed to leave her impact. The film is not a mass entertainer and family audiences may get bored with the hip hop parts but it should be seen for the hardships & struggles faced by the less privileged. Apna Time Ayega is already a chart buster but when I saw it in the film, it was filled with so much energy that it gave me goosebumps. Gully Boy is Zoya Akhtar's most honest film and is a must watch for music lovers.

Sui Dhaaga is a total roller coaster of emotions. And what a performance by Varun Dhawan. Totally mind blowing. He's perfect as Mauji and this is simply his best performance till now. "सब बढ़िया है " After a series of flops, September has ended on a very good note. Must-watch.

Badhaai Ho is a coming of age dramedy where a couple in their 50s get to know that they are expecting a kid. They find it difficult to convey this news to their grown up sons. The sons are shocked and embarrassed and start avoiding their parents. The film has some really comic and emotional moments. Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao are the real stars. The chemistry they share and the way they talk to each other with just expressions is commendable. The director has given the best scenes to Neena Gupta and Gajraj Rao and like veteran actors they have excelled in every scene. Ayushman Khurana is good as the older son who never troubled his parents. His love for his family, especially his mother, can be seen easily. Sanya Malhotra has done full justice to her small role. In a scene in the film she asks Ayushman.. "Hum log jab 50 ke honge to kya Floyd ki jagah Anoop Jalota suna karenge?" If only the writer knew that after Big Boss 12, Anoop Jalota was going to become the idol of men of all age groups, they wouldn't have added his name. There was this dialogue in the film  when Ayushman Khurana shouts at his brother "Apna kamra chahiye.. Apna kamra chahiye.. Kuch saal aur nahi so sakta tha Mummy Papa ke beech mai" Every single person in the audience was laughing in this scene. The film has many such scenes and  dialogues where you will laugh your heart out or feel emotional for the characters. The film has earned around 30 Crores in 3 days and is going to become another surprise blockbuster of 2018. In a line, Badhaai Ho is a complete family entertainer which shows the love and bond different members of the family share with each other. Must-watch

Andhadhun is a good one time watch. The first act is a copy of award winning French short film, L'Accordeur (The Piano Tuner). Afterwards there are many twists and turns in the story. Ayushman Khurana and Tabu are excellent. Radhika Apte has nothing much to do.
