"As an actor, I have not really been stuck up with the kind of work that people around me are doing.

Sure, 100 cr is not the yardstick to gauge the success of a film, but it should be celebrated when mid-sized films like Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Raazi, #Stree, Badhaai Ho and Uri: The Surgical Strike hit a century.

Manmarziyan is Kashyap's Moun Ragam (Film Review)

Image
Film: Manmarziyan ; Starring Abhishek Bachchan, Tapsee Pannu, Vicky Kushal; Directed by Anurag Kashyap; Rating: **** (4 and a half stars) Imagine if Mani Ratnam had sex in his mind for Moun Ragam. Yes, the same story that Sanjay Leela Bhansali made into Huma Dil Chuke Sanam about a marriage of inconvenience where the kind patient husband desists from consummating the marriage until the wife comes out of her earlier relationship. Imagine if the wife can't come out of her stuporous obsession with her first love because, hell, the sex with Vicky(Kaushal) is toooooo good. The girlfriend-wife is played by Tapsee Pannu who seems to get more confident with every film. Her Rumi is no walkover for sure. Nor is it someone you would want as your wife, or your son's wife or even as son's friend's wife. She is an unabashed epicurean...and the fact that Tapsee can play this super-annoying selfish woman without making us cringe is in equal measures a triumph of writing...

'Sanju' trailer: A rollercoaster ride of emotions

Image
The much-awaited trailer of the biopic, ' Sanju ' is here and it offers an intriguing mix of emotions, comedy, drama and most importantly, shock. The gripping trailer gave an insight into the life of Sanjay Dutt aka Sanju baba - be it his girlfriends, his drug addiction, his career, his conviction, downfall, his sentence, his acquittal, and then his uprising once again. While most of the public will be aware of the events, director Rajkumar Hirani brought the stories behind such events to the forefront. He dug to the bottom of real-life story behind the façade of the illustrious actor. Ranbir looks amazingly convincing in the role of Dutt. The younger actor took to the latter's persona like a charm. The trailer also touched upon his equation with various members of his life, portrayed by Paresh Rawal, Sonam Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Manisha Koirala, and Anushka Sharma. There were some disturbing scenes from Dutt's jail term which made the audience a...
