Tiger Zinda Hai Is Undeniably A Delight For All Sallu Lovers. When you have a blockbuster precursor, the pressure is really high to keep up the reputation of the franchise. Coming nearly after 5 and half years after the first installment, Tiger Zinda Hai doesn’t have the original director Kabir Khan calling the shots. Instead it’s helmed by the Sultan director Abbas Ali Zafar, probably given to him after the stupendous success of Sultan . Is the sequel as good as EkThaTiger ?. The answer is both yes and a no. Tiger Zinda Hai picks off right where its precursor Ek Tha Tiger left off. Its eight years since the two super spies, Tiger (Salman Khan) and Zoya (Katrina Kaif) left the life of espionage and have adopted a much calmer and ordinary life somewhere in Austria. So, this is a continuation of the original story.   The ex-agent is lured from his tranquil life by ex-boss Shenoy Girish Karnad), the head of RAW. The reason — 40 nurses (25 Indian, 15 Pakistani) are h...

Fukrey Returns Is Not Half As Good As The Original   Fukrey ’s USP was its rawness and simplicity. Four years after the original hilarious Fukrey comes its sequel, Fukrey Returns . The plot of the prequel was simple to understand and didn’t get too complex in any of the acts. The characterizations were unique and so were the plots . Fukrey deserved a sequel for its sheer rawness and original humour. However, Fukrey Returns is not a deserving sequel. Well it tries to be one though. The film starts with a song which recaps the prequel in five minutes to have the people know the context and where the story ended. The sequel starts after a year of that. The guys lives are more or less the same, except that Hunny (Pulkit Samrat) has an SUV now and even manages to inform his girl friend Priya’s (Priya Anand) father that he wants to marry his daughter. Choocha (Varun Sharma) still dreams, has premonitions and continues to be smitten by Bholi Punjaban (Richa Chadha). Lali ...

Tera Intezaar Is Boring And Bizarre. When the filmmakers are obviously banking on Sunny Leone’s oomph quotient and some peppy numbers to do the trick, you know it’s not going to work – especially since it’s all become so stale and uninteresting of late. Supposedly a romantic thriller, Tera Intezaar takes the ‘lovely locations’ (Mumbai, Kutch and Mauritius) route to win over some audience, but even that small objective appears to be a far cry. Art Gallery owner Raunak (Sunny Leone) falls in love with a natural Artist, a painter Veer (Arbaaz Khan). But then Veer disappears, and the rest of the film takes us on a precipitous search for true love with the help of a medium (Sudha Chandran) and some but obvious villainy – heavy laden with songs, scantily clad nubile displays and copiously manufactured intrigue. By the end of it you are left reeling from the overwhelming capriciousness of the entire exercise in futility. The forced inserts of levity and the addition of thrills ...

Not This Time Again Kapil Sharma! Kapil Sharma is one of the biggest names in Indian comedy. After a successful career as a stand up comedian Kapil Sharma decided to become an actor. Firangi is Kapil Sharma's second outing but like his debut film, Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon   he has once again failed to impress you.

Manga has a special sk...

Kadvi Hawa Is An Impressive Film Dealing With Issues Like Global Warming And Climate Change. Directed by National Award winner Nila Madhab Panda Kadvi Hawa is about global warming and its harmful effects. Based on true stories the film is an eye-opening portrayal of the suffering of people and gives a wakeup call to the society which seems still unprepared to face the consequences of their actions on climate change.

It speaks about the state of the environment, the destruction of our civilization, the plight of the farmers and of the people living in coastal areas. Based in the ravines of Mahua in Bundelkand Kadvi Hawa tells the story of a blind man named Hedu (Sa...

Cricketers earning immense money on and off the field aren’t unheard of. But since a lot of their income mainly depends on their form, several of the cricketers plunge into business ventures to keep them financially secure after their cricketing career comes to an end. While cricketers like Dhoni and Virat Kohli entered the fitness business, several others like Sachin Tendulkar and Zaheer Khan plunged into restaurant ownership. Considering their brand image in itself is sufficient for their business to run a successful course, a lot of Indian cricketers have taken up hospitality entrepreneurship. Ravindra Jadeja in a similar fashion opened up a restaurant as well. Following a cricket theme, the restaurant earned immense popularity ever since its launch in 2012. However, Jadeja’s restaurant sometime back witnessed some ill fate when a court ordered smashing a part of the restaurant to the ground. Stating that the restaurant had illegally obtained extra property, the acti...
