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 lectures her about how he , a 12th pass is a better match for her than the numerous educated suitors she already has. ( How? Even I don't know ). Then the girl for some inexplicable reason falls head over heels in love with him and then she stalks him ! After all the stalking and ego clashes are finally over, the pair fall in love and the actual film starts . The film is not disgusting and does not make you uncomfortable, that part is handled well by the makers. The second half drowns into a series of lectures and rulings and lectures and rulings and lectures and rulings and you get the point right? The lectures are necessary but not so many . At one point of time it seemed like The main character is having a couplet competition with another guy to try and prove his point!

Bhumi Pednekar is brilliant ,considering this is her second film she is extremely talented!

Akshay Kumar plays the role with the required charm, desperation and anguish and delivers a first rate performance .

Though it has a few flaws ,this film ( with an apt title) deserves to be seen due to its phenomenal portrayal of the issue mixed with a dose of comedy and emotion!

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...

Darlings Film Review By Manya Malhotra

Darlings Film Review By Manya Malhotra Cast : Alia Bhatt, Vijay Verma, Shefali Shah, Roshan Mathew, Rajesh Sharma, Vijay Maurya Director: Jasmeet K. Reen Review : Darlings is co-written by writer-director Jasmeet K Reen and Parveez Sheikh, who has films like Queen to his writing credits. It stars powerhouse performers like Alia Bhatt, Shefali Shah, and Vijay Verma — and is also Bhatt’s maiden film as a producer. Clearly, the expectations with this one are very high— and yet it still manages to make an impact. Darling s tells the story of Badrunissa who suffers physical and psychological abuse at the hands of her husband before one day finally deciding to retaliate. Make no mistake, Darlings is not an easy film to watch. It is infuriating but also determinedly terrifying. It lets you breathe but is also dangerously unsettling. The first half of the film is the hardest to watch....

Ek Villain Returns Film Review By Manya Malhotra

Ek Villain Returns Review ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ Cast : Arjun Kapoor, Disha Patani, John Abraham, Tara Sutaria Directo r: Mohit Suri Review: Ek Villain Returns is the smiley face-filled sequel to the Blockbuster film Ek Villain . If you did not get the smiley reference, you should probably check out the first film in the franchise—or not if you value your sanity even a little. I went into the hall for Ek Villain Returns highly sceptical, and willing to wholly suspend disbelief. My decision to do so paid off greatly as I denied myself my usual urge to protest exasperatedly when the hero, or villain, or whatever humiliated and terrified a famous singer to clear the stage (literally) for an up-and-coming artist who he happened to fancy. I also bought it when, impressed by this charming gesture the girl ended up falling head over heels in love with the man. This is Director Mohit Suri’s world, here love always coexists with pain...
