AMKH Review: Actions speak louder than words!

This lockdown season has helped me uncover some small and beautiful gems which the audience has missed watching in theatres. A movie that boasts of names like Sanjay Mishra, Pankaj Tripathi, Eklavi Khanna, Shivani Raghuvanshi, Anshuman Jha; 'Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain' is a heartwarming and delightful piece of cinema which we did not know but needed in our lives! The movie had released in 2018 but largely went unnoticed because of reasons best known to the audience.



What's Good: Story: The story follows 3 distinct love stories and depicts how love has matured over generations. A silent ode to all those women whose marriage and love got lost within household chores and responsibilities.  Performances: With a cast so perfect, nothing goes wrong in this one! Pankaj Tripathi even in his minuscule role leaves an everlasting impact. Direction: Harish Vyas' direction is pitch-perfect and guides this movie well. Camerawork: Farooq Mistry's camerawork captures Banaras and its 'galiyaans' like never before!

                                                     



What's Bad: Staginess: With the story being familiar, there are certain moments when this movie feels stagy. Editing: The editing of the movie does impact its viewing experience. Music: Music by Pravin Kunwaar and Oni-Adil are below average. 'Meri Aankhen' by Shaan is however a song worth going back to.

                                                      



                                                      
Final Word: Angrezi Mein Kehte Hain is a delightful movie about love in marriages and explores it decently through the story of 3 different couples and captures the essence of Banaras very well. I am going with 3.5 stars for this little gem. Do give this movie your Love and Time!

                                                     




The movie is available on AMAZON PRIME VIDEO for viewing.

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
