Review: The Horror comedy genre is something that always fascinates me . So when such a film was being included in one of the most successful comedy franchises in the industry I just had to watch it on the big screen! The film starts off on an interesting note and manages to hold your attention . Just when you feel the director has lost his grip on the film and you are about to take your first yawn the madness begins! The audience could not stop guffawing at the brilliantly executed comedy scenes. Especially the one just before the interval. Each character is crafted out well and characters are not just there to add to the numbers. The women here are not limited to eye candy and are given a meaty role. Even the Ajay Devgn - Parineeti Chopra love angle does not seem silly and the age difference factor is taken in a light hearted manner . It stops before it starts getting weird. There is a dose of emotion here too but the director does not get carried away. It is an art in itself to make a film look spooky and funny at the same time without overdoing it . This comes with its own problems and some scenes  are puerile and all over the place . Of course 40 something men chasing each other around the house , tricking each other and fighting like 10 year olds seems far from believable . But then , Mr Shetty  made it very clear that we should expect 'No logic Only Magic.' ( Though  the magic reduces a bit in the second half.) The songs do not have any recall value except for the title track .  As for the performances , all are extremely good and everyone gets their characters down to the T.
Ajay Devgn has done a pretty good job as he plays the fearless angry man by day and the scared and timid 'baby'  who needs a lullaby to sleep by night. Unlike his previous films , in this one  he does not play the serious guy who's voice  does not undergo a change in tone throughout the film and that is a welcome change.  Shreyas Talpade is superb and has perfected his lisp in this one , he perhaps invokes the most laughs. Tabu is seen experimenting here and Is absolutely flawless . There couldn't have been a better choice of actress for this kind of a role. Parineeti Chopra is good too and does not try to be someone she is not . This film does not promise to be a revolution having multiple plot twist and turns ( though it does have one rather absorbing twist that I did not expect before I saw the film) . What it does promise to be is a Masala entertainer made to make you Laugh , and that is exactly what it does . This is definitely the best of the four films in the franchise  , watch this one and light up your Diwali!

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...
