Isn’t It Romantic Film Review By Manya Malhotra

Isn’t It Romantic

Fantasy, Comedy

Cast: Rebel Wilson, Liam Hemsworth, Adam Devine, Priyanka Chopra Jonas

Director: Todd Strauss- Schulson

Story: Natalie who has grown up to despise romantic comedies hits her head and wakes up in a world where her whole life starts playing out like a romantic comedy film.

Review: Firstly I want to say that I know this film has not released in India but since the promo looked interesting and it starred India’s new brand ambassador in hollywood, Priyanka Chopra I gave it a shot. The reason why Isn’t It Romantic is a refreshing watch is because it is a spoof on romantic comedies which intentionally turns into a romantic comedy in itself. The film takes a dig at all the cliches in every romantic comedy film ever and also reminds us why we love them so much. Rebel Wilson plays the super cynical, classic misfit who’s worst nightmare comes true when she gets transported into an alternate universe where her whole life becomes a romantic comedy. Isn’t It romantic isn’t the kind of film that will make you guffaw, but yes it has it’s moments. One just wishes that there were more of these moments. While the film has everything from a song and dance sequence to a love triangle it doesn’t have the one key element every romantic comedy is filled to the brim with, romance! There are no cute moments that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Rebel is the central character here, every other character just revolves around her and though they have less to do they do manage to make an impact. Liam Hemsworth is surprisingly funny and perfectly cast. Adam Devine is at his quirky and endearing best and our very own desi girl, Priyanka Chopra (sorry my bad, Priyanka Chopra Jonas) has quite the screen presence. Isn’t It Romantic is harmless fun, just the kind of film you are looking for on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Don’t expect anything more from it because isn’t It Romantic , really isn’t romantic.

Isn’t It Romantic is now streaming on Netflix.

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...
