Toilet: Ek Prem Katha Film Review By Manya Malhotra

Toilet : Ek Prem Katha  Drama 3 Cast : Akshay Kumar , Bhumi Pednekar ,Sudhir Pandey, Divyendu, Anupam Kher  Story : A man fights against the unprogressive mindset of the people of his society in order to build a toilet for his wife in his house. Will he succeed? Review  : There has come a time in Hindi  Cinema, when a film can be made on a relevant social issue and be termed as a commercial film. Toilet :   Ek Prem Katha is a proof of just that. The gutsy makers have shed light on a subject which is so vital to our society. However It is unfortunately  more often than not deemed insignificant or unnecessary and sometimes even trivial. The film starts off by cementing the love story between its two leads.  They meet by the way for the first time outside (you guessed it right ), a toilet! The man stalks the woman ,the woman one day bursts out at the man and tells him to leave her alone. Then  the man gets offended and lecture...

Bareilly Ki Barfi Film Review By Manya Malhotra

Bareilly Ki Barfi     Romantic Comedy 3.5 Cast: Kriti Sanon , Ayushmann Khurrana , Rajkumar Rao , Seema Pahwa , Pankaj Tripathi Director: Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari  Story: A bohemian girl who feels tied down  by the narrow mindedness of her society  finds a book written by an author who she feels understands her completely .

There have been no unnecessary attempts to sensationalise or glamorise anything. The dialogues by Nitesh Tiwari ( the master mind behind the mega success Dangal) range from quirky to heart touching and are bang on! The film is embellish...

Mubarakan Film Review By Manya Malhotra

Mubarakan  Comedy   3 Cast: Arjun Kapoor, Anil Kapoor , Ileana D'cruz, Athiya Shetty, Ratna Pathak Shah , Neha Sharma. Director: Anees Bazmee Story: Two twin brothers end up getting engaged to the wrong girls and what follows is an extremely bizarre sequence of events! Review: Mubarakan is a glamorous outing. It is a full -  on Punjabi wedding film with glossy sets  ,  groovy music  and the the lead actors in spunky costumes. The film  has a slow start . I was anyways tired before going inside the hall and the first 40 minutes of this film  could have almost broken my record of not falling asleep in any Bollywood film till date.  it was just simply not funny and a bit foolish. Sample this , A guy has come to a girls house to fix his marriage with her and the girl  asks him  'do you have a girlfriend ?' It is also ruined by a brother - sister angel which is just too monotonous to watch. Bazmee could have handled th...
