The Bollywood Elephant

8 years after 'Double Dhamaal', Indra Kumar is back after ruining one of his movies with sequels (Masti) to ruining his iconic movie 'Dhamaal' by remaking it as 'Total Dhamaal'. Tells the plot, pretty much? No. It further ruins the plot of 'Dhamaal' that includes names like Anil Kapoor-Madhuri Dixit, Ajay Devgn, Pritosh Chakraborty, Javed Jaffrey, Arshad Warsi, Boman Irani, Sanjay Mishra. Even if one is not looking for logic, this movie fails the brainless entertainer category as well. Promoted as a 'Stress buster' and 'Family Entertainer' this movie fails to reach either of these 2 tags.                                             Whats Good:   The Anil-Madhuri Pair:  The coming back of this couple as Mrs and Mr. Patel, a constantly nagging couple on the verge of divorce is one of the best things of the movie.

The story, Dialogues, Screenplay, and Direction: Zoya and Reema's story and screenplay are absolutely watertight and liberating at the same moment. Each scene pumps energy into the audience because of the amazing cameraw...

'The most unexpected romance of the year' hit theatres finally and gave us a reason to cheer! The Rajkummar Rao and Sonam Kapoor starrer 'ELKDTAL' hit the theatres among a lot of fanfare and promotions. Promoted with #Let_Love_Be, the movie explored an altogether new dimension of romance which has never been explored in Indian cinema. Directed by debutant Shelly Chopra Dhar, the movie is simple, adorable and conveys it messages without going over the top or saying it out loud.                                                  What's Good: The Performances- Right from Rajkummar Rao until Regina Cassandra the casting is pitch perfect and packs a powerful punch. The Story and Screenplay: Ghazal Dhaliwal's writing deserves applause for the subject it brings to the table powered with Dhar's direction and Screenplay. The Dialogues: The dialogues are ...
