Padmaavat Film Review By Manya Malhotra

Padmaavat  3.5 Drama Cast: Deepika Padukone , Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor , Jim Sarbh , Aditi Rao  Hydari Director : Sanjay Leela Bhansali  Story: Alauddin Khilji's obsession with the queen of Chittor , Maharani Padmaavati paves way for war, destruction and desperation. Review: After the most elaborate disclaimer at the start of the movie , clarifying everything the film does not support  , the magnum opus that has been the talk of the town for so long finally unfolds. I have never really admired the  "Sanjay Leela Bhansaliness" of movies where he often mistakes exaggeration and overdoing things for a so called "magical effect". Padmaavat is no exception to Bhansali's trademark style of storytelling. That being said , this film could not have been visually grander. Everything from the costumes to the make up to the sets to the stunning stunning jewellery and every attention to detail is spot on. The grimy dark sequences , the chilling ...

The Greatest Showman Film Review By Manya Malhotra

The Greatest Showman   4.5 Musical  Cast: Hugh Jackman, Michelle Williams, Zac Efron, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson  Director: Michael Gracey  Story: A period drama narrating the story of PT Barnum , the first man ever to form a group of 'curious' people and put together a circus.  Review: This is a film about making your dreams come true. It is about following your desires to whichever unexplored corner they take you to, and most importantly this is a film about being yourself!  A visual spectacle, "The Greatest Showman" tells the touching tale of a man who opened the first ever circus! A unique yet simple story put together on screen with so much grace and all heart is so refreshing. The effortlessly thrilling narrative is just lovely! Foot tapping music helps in driving the marvel of a story forward. Mostly , all the artists in the circus were simply dancing and it would have been nice to see them trying their hands at different stunts...

Tiger Zinda Hai  4 A ction Cast:   Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif , Anupriya Goenka, Sajjad Delafrooz   Director: Ali Abbas Zafar  Story: Two agents, from enemy nations have been called back to work for their countries , leaving behind their lives of comfort . Their mission is to rescue 40 nurses who have been kept hostage. Review: The "Tube Light " has fused and now "Tiger  Zinda  Hai" aur ek baar yeh "Jasoos Jag" gaya toh aap bas "Baar Baar Dekhte" reh jaaonge! Tiger is back and with such a tiger around there is no fear of extinction!  Every scene in this movie is so well explained . Carried out with gusto and obviously ample of swag, mostly owing to Mr Khan's charisma, this film will be included in the list of the better thriller films that have released in a while. it has action but it doesn't seem too much thanks to the stylish music which complements the scenes.  This is a Salman Khan show but Katrina Kaif is...
