The #GenNowRajshriScion goes #oldschool in his attempt to keep the #weddingVideoCinemaFamilyTradition going. It’s tiresome and futile even with some fairly good music and performances - save for #RajveerDeol who gets his expressions right but fails in dialogue delivery badly. Don’t know why the Deols or the Barjatyas did not think it necessary to get him some voice training? #communiquePR #RajshriPictures #SoorajBarjatya #SunnyDeol #everyone @everyone #everybody @everybody

Raunchy, crass, extremely crude, smutty and punny sex comedy where Kandu Kanika goes bedding men in search of the big ‘O.’ It’s totally illogical, irreverent and distasteful - neither funny nor likeable! With Bhumi’s unflattering close-ups staring you in the face, you’ll find it difficult to think of this as an amiable exercise in female sexual liberation. Even the redux version of #SunitaRao’s iconic #PariHoonMain can’t save this film from a drubbing at the Box Office! #everyone @everyone #everybody @everybody #SpiceBhasha #EktaaKapoor #RheaKapoor #AnilKapoorFilms #BalajiTelefilmsLtd

Despite over-stating the obvious, this filmed version of a dramatic true story of an evacuation from a collapsed underground mine, delivers some fair moments of entreaty. There’s no subtlety here - just gung-ho heroics and hyperventilating emotions on display. More Melodramatic than thrilling, this one might have found an audience if the producers had made a sincere effort in promoting the film! #SpicePR #SpiceBhasha #everyone @everyone #everybody @everybody

Antiquated quirkiness buffooning around as a 70’s south- styled masala potboiler, this film has elements that can be laughed at but it’s a little hard to appreciate something that is so tacky and unaccomplished in structure and design. Toonish performances add to the misery here.

Distasteful, tasteless, irksome antics gets passed off as slapstick comedy in this threequel that plays out like a humourless comic strip and eventually comes unhinged in its attempts to score laughs. #VarunSharma gets tiresome, #PulkitSamrat continues to ‘pout’ nonsense, #RichaChadha and #ManjotSingh are bearable while #PankajTripathi is the only one who shores up the narrative with some wily timing and wit.

This film supposedly based on the book by Prof #BalramBharghava of #ICMR is more interested in tom-tomming highly questionable Govt efforts than in praising the Medical professionals and researchers involved in preparing the indigenous #CovidVaccine. What else can one expect from the chief propagandist of the current Govt? It’s a long-drawn saffron wash all the way through and there’s no hiding away from the straightforward anti-media, pro-govt bias depicted here.

This feel-good light-hearted piffling comedy has a message for aspirational youth. With competent, likeable performances from its lead actors #IshwakSingh and #GauravPandey this film manages to make its conflict regarding challenges (career and love life ) youngsters face today, worthy, but the ‘Business’ end is a little flaky and simplistic. Worth watching for its amiable approach
