Movie Review - Kadvi Hawa – by Suhel Johar

Image
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. Based on true stories, Kadvi Hawa is a bitter pill that reminds one about the dark winds of change. Global warming and climate change are real and are caused by human activity. Despite not showing any such activity that is destroying the civilization, the film makes a heartfelt point in a straightforward way. 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

Movie Review - Tumhari Sulu - by Suhel Johar

Image
Tumhari Sulu Is One Of The Best Films To Come Out In 2017. It Is A Slice Of A Life Film Which Is Worth Your Ticket Price. Tumhari Sulu is an extraordinary story of an ordinary woman. A story about a housewife-next-door. Writer director Suresh Triveni proves one does not need a complicated or even a complex plot to come up with a great movie. Tumhari Sulu is perhaps one of the most entertaining films of 2017. With its refreshing narrative, Tumhari Sulu is simply relatable and endearing. Sulochana aka Sulu (Vidya Balan), is a chirpy and melodramatic stay-at-home mom, who is ambitious and awaits the right opportunity.   She is ever smiling, confident, full of ideas, slightly plump and yet sensuous. She loves to mimic Hema Malini and Sridevi and calls in and wins prizes on FM radio shows. Her husband Ashok Dubey (Manav Kaul) and 11 year old son Pranav (Abhishek Sharrma) complete her world. Ashok is an honest employee at a garment factory since twelve long years. Bul

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
