VDW Review: Veeres entertain you in this fun wedding!!

Before anything, I would like to say "It is not always about the destination but the journey you take to get there." This statement holds quite true for this week's #I_am_not_a_chick_flick Veere Di Wedding. You know where the film is headed but despite this, you want to invest yourself in this journey of these 4 friends who seek out for happiness and joy.

Out of the 4 Veeres, it is Swara Bhaskar's Sakshi who rocks it with her earnest performance and excellently portrays her role of an ill-mouthed rich girl. Following her is Kalindi Puri aka Kareena who makes a 'take notice' comeback to the film industry!!  Then comes our Meera played by Shikha Talsania who keeps the flow of Swara's Sakshi going and plays the role of a loud-mouthed Punjabi girl as well. Sadly but true, Mrs Ahuja's Avni, a matrimonial lawyer is the weakest link in the acting department. At times, Avni goes a little overboard in her expressions but it doesn't matter as the gags, dialogues are hilarious to overlook her follies. The bromance between our Veeres is exceedingly good but Kalindi and her fiance Rishab's chemistry fails to generate sparks. Sumeet Vyas, Ayesha Raza, Manoj Pahwa, Vishwas Kini and Neena Gupta do an excellent bit in their supporting roles.

Director Shashanka Ghosh helms the movie exceedingly well in an entertaining, engaging first half but loses the grip A BIT in the second half. The story is nothing extraordinary but has some extra attention paid to Kalindi Puri. The dialogues are cuss, double meaning yet hilarious. The cinematography is well done, the editing is a bit of a problem but the styling and music are on point with 'Aa Jao Na' and of course 'Tareefan' being my favourites. The movie is well made, well -acted and an enjoyable affair this weekend. I am not sure whether this movie is going to appeal to the middle-aged but should certainly be watched by today's youth who need to understand the difference between friendship and acquaintance!

What really impressed me the most in Veerey Di Wedding is not its Bold, unapologetic nature but the fact that it was NOT at any point trying to be a Feministic watch. Instead, it played well by not going the feminist way otherwise it would've been a bore. Initially, I was dwindling between 3.5-4 stars for this movie but I think settling for a 3.5/5 would be a sound bet. Go watch it for some pure fun but be warned of the slightly loose second half. Business should be around 55-60 crores! Hit.

NOTE: A lot of 'How u feel about this movie' depends on the people you watch it with! As for me, watching it with friends was fun.

P.S. This movie will be best if watched with your Veeres!!!!And girls, you have a lot to take away from this movie.

Qissa Controversy Ka: SSR and Nepotism!

Image
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 someth...

Sushant Singh Rajput: An Inspiration and a Legend!

Image
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'!

Image
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.                  ...
