The Bollywood Elephant

This week Varun Dhawan's 'Sui Dhaga: Made in India' released along side Vishal Bharadwaj's 'Patakhaa'. So, I decided to review this Sharat Katariya directed affair and it was a totally sound decision.                              Varun Dhawan is exemplary in his role as Mauji. His dialect, appearance and acting are all on point. He brings an unusual charm to Mauji. On the other hand, Anushka as Mamta is totally terrific. Her angst, emotions are all on point. They share a crackling chemistry which lights the screen. Raghubir Yadav as Mauji's father, Yamini Dass as Mauji's mother, Namit Das as Guddu play their role and to perfection. The movie is sound in the acting department.                                                  Writer-Director Sharat Katariya keeps the story sim...

An ace director like  Anurag Kashyap decides to helm the director's hat for something that is out of his comfort zone i.e. Romance and delivers a beautifully created mess called Manmarziyaan. The movie  stars Vicky Kaushal, Taapsee Pannu and  Abhishek Bachchan in the lead roles.                                                    Have you ever thought you'd fall in love with Abhishek Bachchan? Well surprisingly, Abhishek infuses an unusual charm to Robbie and aces his act. But it is the terrific acts of the Vicky Kaushal and Taapsee that really holds the movie together. They bring life to Vicky and Rumi and their chemistry is undeniably crackling. The terrific leads are ably supported by  Vikram Kochchar, Pavan Malhotra, Poonam Shah among others.                        ...
