Beauty And The Beast Film Review by Manya Malhotra

Beauty And The Beast Romance 4 Cast :Emma Watson,Dan Stevens,Luke Evans Director:Bill Condon Story : An arrogant prince is transformed into a hideous Beast by an enchantress,this spell can only be broken if the Beast finds true love. The magical world of the fairy tale unfolds  when Belle comes across an  occult castle , inhabited  by the Beast and his helpers. Will she be able to free the Beast and his helpers from the curse? Review : Beauty and the Beast has been written and rewritten,made into a film and remade quite a few times but no one is complaining! The first 30 minutes or so of the  film are a bit slow as they are laying the foundation of the film. When Belle reaches the castle ,the film instantly picks up pace .

Phillauri Film Review by Manya Malhotra

Phillauri  3 . 5 Drama Cast : Anushka Sharma,Suraj Sharma, Mehreen Pirzada,Diljit Dosanj Director : Anshai Lal Story :In the midst of a big fat Indian wedding the groom is having serious pre-wedding jitters  and to add to his troubles a ghost from 98 years ago shows up at his door step claiming to be his newly wed wife.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania 4 . 5 Romantic comedy Cast : Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Sahil Vaid, Akanksha Singh, Shweta Basu Prasad, Sukhmani Lamba Director : Shashank Khaitan Story : A  Whimsical boy from Jhansi has his heart set on a  headstrong girl from Kota. But she wants different things in life . How does their love story play out in a patriarchal society? Review : The film is set in the heartland of  India .  You are straight away transported into the world of Badrinath Bansal aka Badri  (Varun Dhawan ) and Vaidehi Trivedi (Alia Bhatt), characters that will stick with you . He is adamant on getting married to her , she wants to get a job and prove her worth to her family.  Full  credit to the director  (Shashank Khaitan ) for making a film which could easily have become stretched, boring and foolish into a realistic and believable film.  The film is entertaining and full of light hearted moments along with some cute ones ...
