BKD Review:BKD has its highs and lows, but ends mostly with Highs.

BKD is the "supposed" sequel to the 2013 hit, Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania, though both the stories are entirely different they have the same cast as HSKD. The movie opens with a comical Badrinath Bansal (VD) trying to woo Vaidehi (AB) and how and what happens to their relationship forms the crux of the movie. By now, I'm sure everyone knows that it's a typical Bollywood romance BUT there is something more to it than being a clichéd romance.

Varun Dhawan's portrayal of Badrinath Bansal is Phenomenal. It's par excellence. His accent, his dialogues are well written and spoken. Alia Bhatt as Vaidehi, just proves to be like a wine, the older the better. She is just getting good with every passing movie. Her portrayal of a guilt-stricken, selfish and career oriented girl is beyond my expression. Yash Sinha as Alok (Badri's brother), Sahil Vaid as Somesh(Badri's bestie) and Shweta Prasad as Urmila(Badri's sister in law) prove to be amazing support to this movie.

Shashank Khaitan's writing in the first half is commendable with it's fair shares of lows, but the "curse of the second half" strikes this movie badly. The movie falters a lot towards the end and even though the climax of the movie is amazing, it fails to captivate the audience (who have already lost interest in the movie) inspite of giving out a good and an important message.

The music is another feather in the cap of this "clichéd" romance. The song "Humsafar" is a personal favourite. The editing , the cinematography and the dialogues are nice. The costumes, and the locations of Kota, Jhansi and Singapore just add to the colourful portrayal of the movie. It seems that the director has tried to compensate for the clichéd romance through this area of the movie making. The movie enjoy its shares of highs and lows but ends with more highs than lows.

For me, BKD had 3 good things: The acting, Amazing Chemistry and Beat-Tapping Music. I would like to rate BKD with a 3 star rating. The lifetime business of BKD should be around 90-100 crores solely due to holi. BKD is a strict one time watch. Nothing more!

P.S. My friends regretted watching this movie.

Qissa Controversy Ka: SSR and Nepotism!

14th June 2020. Bandra West, Mumbai. It has been 12 days since Sushant Singh Rajput has left the world. We accept it or not but, his death has impacted us to a great extent more than any other death in the film fraternity. There are uncountable rumours regarding his death and it is really shameful that it took a Death to realize the roots of Nepotism and Favourites that run in this industry! In the blog post, I would just like to share some radical views about the statements and the controversies that evolved after his death. JUDGEMENTALITY: Probably after the Nepotism debate, the most talked-about reason for his suicide is the Rhea Chakraborty And Mahesh Bhatt angle. Just because intimate pictures between Mahesh and Rhea have started doing rounds on the internet, the public has come to the conclusion (let alone an assumption) that there is something brewing between the two. Well, it is very obvious that the partner/spouse is suspected in that case

Sushant Singh Rajput: An Inspiration and a Legend!

It has been 42 days since Sushant Singh Rajput left for his heavenly abode on the 14th of June, 2020. In this write-up, The Bollywood Elephant pays a heartfelt tribute to the late Sushant Singh Rajput. May he find semblance in his mother's arms up there. Sushant carved your own niche in the galaxy far away yet near. We hope that we could bring him back using quantum physics by igniting chemistry. His dreams and passion are embedded in our hearts and become an immortal source of motivation. His death makes me realize the uncertainty and fear of life. His uncertain exit from our galaxy was unsettling but opened a chapter about life consumed by depression. I recall how he always wanted to be an astronaut and in one of his interviews, he said, "Let's be an actor and let's be everything" with the same energy and gusto as a naive and a simple guy with Bollywood dreams! Thereafter, he unravelled his dreams through cinema and stuck to what he believed! When I first read a

Kalank Review: After Kalank, you will need a 'Palang' because 'Tabaah Ho Gaye'!

After so many delays, Dharma Productions magnum opus 'Kalank' starring Aditya Roy Kapur, Sonakshi Sinha, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, Kunal Kemmu, Kiara Advani, Anchint Kaur etc. etc. It is scripted and directed by a 1-filmed old director Abhishek Varman. What's Good: Acting: Credit is given where it is due. Acting performances are top notch. Aditya and Sonakshi are hands down the best! They are ably supported by the rest of the ensemble cast but these rightfully deserve every accolade. Costume and Set Design: The costume and set design are absolutely spectacular and Bhansali level. Costumes are well depicted by Manish Malhotra. Music: Surprisingly, Pritam's music is one of the better things of this magnum opus. What's Bad: Story: The story has so many interesting sub-plots which are let down because the main/central plot on which the
