Movie Review - Padmaavat - by Suhel Johar

Padmaavat Is Definitely Worth A One Time Watch. Padmaavat is Sanjay Leela Bhandari’s interpretation of the legend of Rani Padmaavati. Frankly, there is no much difference between the title Padmaavat and Padmavati . No idea why there is a row even for the film’s title. Padmaavat has been at the epicentre of various controversies, especially in North India. Most notably, Karni Sena from Rajasthan and other Hindu-organizations across the nation threatened to vandalize theatres screening the film. Finally, with Supreme Court extending its full support Padmaavat finally released today (25th Jan) in a grand way. Padmaavat is definitely worth a watch, for its scale and stellar performances from the principal cast. Although the fringe groups have been protesting against the film saying it has hurt the Rajput sentiments but it actually showcases the Rajput valour, pride and ultimate sacrifice. In fact it seems as if the film was sponsored by the Rajput community to highlight the cau

Nirdosh Is A Ridiculously Painful Murder Mystery   Directed by Directed by Pradeep Rangwani and Subroto Paul, the Arbaaz Khan and Manjari Fadnnis starrer Nirdosh is a stupid murder mystery. Nirdosh Is A Ridiculously Painful Murder Mystery The film begins with the arrest of a harried-looking Mumbai-based media professional Shinaya Grover (Manjari Fadnis) and she’s the prime suspect in the murder of her smarmy neighbour (Mukul Dev). Arbaaz Khan plays an inspector Lokhande, a rakish cop who’s assigned the high-profile murder case. During the investigation Lokhande zeroes down on multiple suspects in the case. Every time he gets new twist. Shinaya’s husband Gautam (Ashmit Patel) to save his wife confesses that he committed the murder. While, Manjari admits that she is the murderer which leaves Arbaaz perplexed and the twist prevails. Punctuated by shoddy writing, collective bad acting, cliched dialogues and juvenile sub plots, this murder mystery is likely to push any uns

Movie Review - Vodka Diaries - by Suhel Johar

Vodka Diaries Is An Insipid Psychological Thriller Vodka Diaries , directed by debutant Kushal Srivastava is a suspense thriller. It’s said that first impression is the last impression and in that sense the title Vodka Diaries does evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue among the audience. However, the film itself is just about average and it lacks the brilliance of popular thriller films that we have seen in the past. Nonetheless, Vodka Diaries like most thriller films does tease your mind a little to solve the mystery and identify the real killer but in the end proves to be a sheer waste of time. The story of Vodka Diaries is based amidst the frozen, deserted and foggy landscape of Manali, which creates the perfect conditions for a whodunit thriller to take shape. The story revolves around a cop ACP Ashwini Dixit (Kay Kay Menon) and his life. His family is his pretty wife Shikha (Mandira Bedi) with whom he lives a normal life, shares drinks and discusses literature. Anoth
