2.0 review: Its Pretty, Bad! Chitti is back!

The much-awaited mammoth '2.0' finally hit the theatres with superstar Rajnikanth reprising his role of the human-robot Chitti and with Akshay Kumar and Amy Jackson joining him in this time!

Rajnikanth as Vasigaran/Chitti/Chitti 2.0 does full justice to his roles as the human robot. He and his expressions are spot-on!! Akshay Kumar as the antagonist Pakshi  Rajan is menacing but does not have enough meat for his role. Amy Jackson plays the role of the pretty damsel really well as Nila. And it is an out and out Rajni movie.

Shanker delivers us ' Rajni brand of entertainment' after Robot. Though his screenplay, the story is weak but his direction is good and offers a strong message as well. The VFX is top-notch and really makes the movie look an absolute delight. However, the over the top emotional quotient, forced social message do some damage to the second half. The dialogues are just about ok but the background score by AR Rahman is delightful.

An entertaining and fun 1st half but a boring second half with an interesting climax, Shankar succeeds but is unable to fully deliver an entertaining Rajni movie. But it is surely better than his contemporaries like Kaala, Kabali and even Robot itself.  I am going with 3 stars! Watch it for the magnificence of the 3D aspect.

P.S. Its worth the wait of 2 years and the production budget of 540 crores.

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
