JJ Review: Jawaani Jaanemann, Hasee(n) Dilruba, Mile 2 Dil jawaan, Kamaal ho Gaya!

So this week saw the release of Saif's 'Jawaani JaaneMann' which also stars Alaya F(Pooja Bedi's daughter) and has Tabu in a special appearance. The cast is supported by an amazing Kumud Mishra, Farida Jalal, Kubbra Sait to name a few. It is directed by 'Notebook' fame Nitin Kakkar.

What's Good: Performances: Saif is in the terrific form! Alaya is amazing with her acting and so is the mesmerizing Tabu! Supporting Cast does well too! 1st Half: The 1st Half is downright terrific and Hilarious. Music: 'Gallan Kardi', 'Bandhu Ho Gaya' were my takeaways from this decent album. Maturity: The movie deals with the subject with pre-marital pregnancy in kids pretty maturely and does well in that. Direction: The direction is top-notch and lifts this quirky story.

What's Bad: Too Little of Tabu: Tabu is merely just in for 20 minutes and I wish she was there in larger screen time. 2nd Half: When the emotional part kicks in, the movie loses grip and mainly since the emotional scenes are not 'emotional enough' to keep one invested. It would have been great if the movie would have stuck to its original premise and not gone down the emotional side!

Overall, JJ is a decent one time watch mainly due to the quirkiness it has and that beautiful Alaya! It is 'Happy Go Lucky' kind of a movie that is best enjoyed after a tiring day at work. It is 'Safe' (sorry had to do it) to go with 3 stars for this Decent watch.

P.S. I  would still recommend people to watch 'Panga'  if you haven't!

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
