TS Review: To Audience, With Love Tumhari Sulu! Positive and Entertaining.

Tumhari Sulu is a testament as to why we love Vidya Balan! This movie is  a proof that  masterclass acting can bring any character alive on-screen. Tumhari Sulu is a triumph in acting and direction.

Vidya Balan is outstanding. She can bring any character to life. She literally acts 'the hell of a prolonged screenplay' and makes it interesting  which could have possibly been very boring to watch. She infuses life into Sulochana 'Sulu'. Manav Kaul as Ashok is superb. His portrayal of Ashok is a proof of how much an underrated actor he is. Neha Dhupia as Maria is soothing to watch. Malishka Mendosa who marks her debut is amazing as RJ Albeli. The movie has no faults in the acting department.

Scripted and directed by Suresh Triveni, the script and direction are pitch perfect. Perhaps a 140 minute is a little too long when the story is predictable. The screenplay seems stretched but Vidya Balan saves it from derailing. The dialogues, the lyrics, the camerawork are nicely done. The music is given by Tanishk Baghi and is amazing. 'Ban Ja Rani' and 'Hawa Hawai 2.0' are the best out of the 4 track album.

With an unnecessary extension of the entertaining first half and a predictable yet entertaining second half, Tumhari Sulu is an out and out a Vidya Balan show. I am going with 3.75 stars  for this positive, lovable and sweet movie which will certainly make us  work on the way we pronounce "Hello!" make you say "Main Kar sakti hai" meaning 'I can do it' to your dreams and aspirations.

P.S. It was a delight to see a slice of life, oozing with positivity movie after so long. 'Tumhari Sulu' is a triumph.

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
