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 . The scenes with the talking objects singing and dancing are spectacular and look grand, not to forget the costume and make up of the Beast.The whole castle seems alive and the correct word to describe the ambience of the castle is "magical". The second half of the film has some endearing moments between Belle and the Beast that bring a smile to your face. The film is very well directed and the screen play is marvellous . The actors just suddenly break into a song in the middle of the film and that can get irksome especially when you are intently waiting for the next scene. Emma Watson as Belle is  breathtaking  you see a streak of feminism in Belle which is quite similar to that of the UN  women goodwill ambassador (Emma Watson)  herself .Dan Stevens  is convincing as the horrid as well as the sensitive and ernest Beast. We don't see much of him as the prince . Luke Evans as Gaston is terrific! He was supposed to make sure that we loathe him and that's exactly what happened! 
Watch this one to relive the much loved fairy tale and be mesmerised!

Saiyaara: A Film Review and My Thoughts on Its Reception- By Manya Malhotra

  Saiyaara: A Film Review and My Thoughts on Its Reception   Saiyaara Reception and Backlash Saiyaara opened to an 84 crores net domestic box office figure on its opening weekend, a feat unheard of for a film with newcomers, in an industry still recognised as primarily star-led. (For context, the two major films starring newcomers in the past 13 years- Dhadak and Student of the Year, earned 33.65 and 30 crores respectively). I have been a Bollywood (or Hindi film industry) fan for as long as I can remember. Seeing one of its films get such a massive reception has been heartwarming, and I cannot remember the last time a film got so much love. It has now been two weeks since the film’s release. I have read both positive and negative reactions to the film’s unprecedented success, and after digesting it all, I thought it was finally time to revisit my blog and pen down my honest opinion on both the film and everything that has followed since its release. Skeptics will spin many t...

Badrinath Ki Dulhania Film Review by Manya Malhotra

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 ...

Meri Pyaari Bindu Film Review By Manya Malhotra

Meri Pyaari Bindu Romance 2.5 Cast : Parineeti Chopra, Ayushmann Khurrana, Aparajita Auddy,Rajatabha Dutta  Director :   Akshay   Roy  Story : Childhood sweethearts Abhimanyu and Bindu get separated .  Destiny , however has other plans for them as they   keep meeting each other repeatedly as they experience love, desperation ,heartbreak ,success and failure together. Review : Meri pyaari Bindu takes you back to the 1990s . The basic concept of the film is not something that is very new but the writers try hard to stand out . The film starts off well ,it is cute and  has some chuckle worthy moments ,but you keep waiting for SOMETHING to happen in the film! You wait for that defining moment in the film without which the film just seems incomplete. It looks like the scenes of the film were all shot and then joined together like in a jigsaw puzzle.  The film is therefore not able to make much of a connect with the audience.Even if...
