Real reason behind Ranbir-Katrina’s ‘Jagga Jasoos’ delay

Bollywood actors Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif’s wait for the release of their action-adventure film ‘Jagga Jasoos’ will finally come to an end when the film releases in 2017. The reasons behind this delay have often been linked to Ranbir and Katrina’s break-up. However, director Anurag Basu set the record straight saying that it was solely his fault. Talking about the delay in the shooting schedule, he said, it was his decision to delay the film and that he had shot only for only 10 days in 2015. He went on to reveal that he wanted to ‘take a break’ as his film ‘Barfi!’ had done very well at the box office and that it was the first time he had earned a lot of money. The director admitted that he just wanted to ‘enjoy’ the moment and spend time with his family. Talking about his leading pair, he said that Ranbir and Katrina became ‘more professional’ and gave more to the film post their break-up than before it.

Baar Baar Dekho : Movie Review

Movie :- Baar Baar Dekho
Ratings :- 4/5 Starts
Casts :-  Katrina Kaif, Sidharth Malhotra, Sayani Gupta, Ram Kapoor
Director :- Nitya Mehra
Producer :- Karan Johar
Duration :- 147 minutes
Release Date :- 9 September 2016

Debutant director Nitya Mehra's Baar Baar Dekho is unlike any romantic yarn - I hesitate from giving it that loosely-used term the 'rom-com'. It is the ultimate what-if saga, narrated with a tender care and subdued splendour that makes every moment between the lead pair precious and gladdening.Watching the film, we are just happy to see Jai and Diya together. It could be because they are played by two of the best-looking stars in our cinema. Sidharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif look so made-for-each-other that it seems absurd to even suggest that they can be separated by destiny or design - or in this case by designed destiny.But human nature is such - and this is the sach (truth) that this unusually conceptualized film dwells on with mollifying magnificence -- that it sinks the very ship that keeps hope afloat. With believable nearsightedness -- don't we all mess up in life? - Jai tells Diya on the day of their wedding that he would rather not marry her and instead pursue his dreams of going to Cambridge.

A Flying Jatt : Movie Review

Casts :- Tiger Shroff, Jacqueline Fernandez, Nathan Jones
Director :- Remo D'Souza
Producer :- Ekta Kapoor
Duration :- 150 minutes
Release Date :- 25 August 2016

A Flying Jatt is an Bollywood superhero action film co written, choreographed and directed by Remo D'Souza under the banner of Balaji Motion Pictures. Tiger Shroff, Jacqueline Fernandez and professional wrestler Nathan Jones are in the lead roles. Shroff is playing the role of a superhero and Fernandez will be playing his love interest in the film. The film released worldwide on today.The film received positive reviews.
its ideas and themes are ripped off from sundry sources and cobbled together in a scrappy, sloppy comic-strip fantasy that is about as steady as an eel on a slippery slope. A Flying Jatt is so whimsically infantile in its conception of a homegrown Superman-like crime-buster that it never gains any height.Even for those that are suckers for superhero actioners, the film lacks the punch required to pass muster.

Rustom : Movie Review

Casts :- Akshay Kumar, Ileana D’Cruz, Esha Gupta, Arjan Bajwa
Director :- Tinu Suresh Desai
Producer :- Neeraj Pandey
Duration :- 150 minutes
Release Date :- 12 August 2016

Rustom is a 2016 Indian crime-mystery film written by Vipul K Rawal and directed by Tinu Suresh Desai. It features Akshay Kumar, Ileana D'Cruz, and Esha Gupta in the lead roles.It is based on the real life story of naval officer K. M. Nanavati who allegedly shot his wife's alleged paramour.Principal photography began in February 2016 and the film was released today.
For Akshay Kumar fans, Rustom is bound to be a full-on treat. The courtroom drama is scripted, crafted and geared to give the lead actor all the space that he needs in order to own the project.The star of the show proves equal to the task. Unfortunately, Rustom, which fictionalizes the sensational true story of naval officer Kawas Manekshaw Nanavati, comes nowhere near becoming an irresistible cinematic account of a murder trial.Written by Vipul K Rawal and directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, Rustom is a strangely bland film that throws more thematic strands into its narrative wicker basket than it can hold - heroism of a man in uniform, marital discord, culpable homicide and legal twists and turns.

Dishoom is a 2016 Indian action-adventure film written and directed by Rohit Dhawan. The film stars John Abraham, Varun Dhawan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Saqib Saleem and Akshaye Khanna. The film's score is composed by Abhijit Vaghani and the film's musical numbers were composed by Pritam Chakraborty.
A star Indian batsman is kidnapped 36 hours ahead of a make-or-break match. The external affairs ministry in Delhi rushes a badass cop to a place "somewhere in the Middle East" to lead the manhunt to find both the missing cricketer and the mysterious captor. Sounds super exciting? On paper, it does. It definitely is an unusual plotline for a Hindi film. But any novelty that Rohit Dhawan's Dishoom possesses ends right there.It is an action-packed buddy film in which both John Abraham and Varun Dhawan, playing a bumbling police department rookie who is reduced to running errands for his exploitative boss and seeks liberation and greater glory, are pretty much stuck in a rut.

Casts :- Salman Khan, Anushka Sharma, Randeep Hooda, Amit Sadh
Director :- Ali Abbas Zafar
Producer :- Aditya Chopra
Duration :- 170 minutes
Release Date :- 6 July 2016

Sultan is a 2016 Indian sports-drama film directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. Produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films banner, the film stars Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma in pivotal roles and centers around Sultan Ali Khan (Salman Khan), a wrestler who has problems in his professional and personal life. From a small town wrestler in Haryana, Sultan achieves global fame winning bouts at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, the 2011 FILA Wrestling World Championships in Istanbul and the 2012 London Olympics.
The writer of Sultan repeatedly evokes a beast of burden by way of an analogy for the film's simple-minded but irrepressible protagonist.This guy, Sultan Ali Khan of Rewari district's Buroli village, is indeed a cussed customer who soldiers on against all odds to prove his worth to himself, his girlfriend/wife and the whole wide world. So, what's new?What's new is that Sultan casts Salman Khan as a rugged son-of-the-soil wrestler who weathers many a deadly blow on his heart and his body.When the chips are down, Sultan's wife Aarfa (Anushka Sharma), a fellow wrestler and daughter of his first coach Barkat Hussain (Kumud Mishra), reminds him: "We are sportsmen, we never give up."

Director :- Tony D'Souza
Duration :- 130 minutes
Release Date :- 13 May 2016

Azhar is an sports biographical film released on yesterday written by Rajat Arora and directed by Tony D'Souza. Based on the life of the Indian cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin, the film is produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ekta Kapoor and Sony Pictures Networks.
A disclaimer at the start says that it is not a biopic on the life of one of the most celebrated and controversial Indian cricket captains Mohammad Azharuddin(Emraan). So the makers hoodwink you submission that it is not a biopic. But one has also to be blind, not to be able to see the similarities between Azhar's life and this film.
You stay invested here because the material at hand combines India's two religions-cricket and films. Of course, this generation would rather see biopics on MS Dhoni or Virat Kohli. But, to give the devil his due, Azhar was an idol in the 80-90s.

1920 London is an Indian horror film directed by Tinu Suresh Desai. It is the third installment in the successful 1920 (film series) after 1920 and 1920: The Evil Returns. The film stars Sharman Joshi, Meera Chopra, and Vishal Karwal in lead roles and Sagar Saikia as an antagonist.
Shivangi (Meera Chopra) comes from a royal family in Rajasthan and is married to a prince named Veer (Vishal Karwal). They receive a necklace from their hometown which casts a vicious spell on him. He is possessed by a daayan and the only man who can help is Shivangi's ex-lover Jai (Sharman Joshi). Can he be saved?
There isn't an inkling of innovative thinking in the third installment of the 1920 series. The best thing that can be said about it is that it will remain one of the year's funniest films. Blood talk, daayans and jaadu tona are all in vogue this season (ahem!) but in the horror genre, these things are so passe..

One Night Stand : Movie Review

Ratings :- 2/5 Starts
Casts :- Sunny Leone, Tanuj Virwani, Nyra Banerjee
Director :- Jasmine Moses D'souza
Duration :- 99 minutes
Release Date :- 6 May 2016

One Night Stand is a 2016 Hindi thriller film written by Bhavani Iyer and directed by Jasmine D'Souza. It features Sunny Leone, Nyra Banerjee and Tanuj Virwani in the lead roles. Principal photography was wrapped up in 55 days and filming locations include Mumbai, Bangkok and Pune. The film was released on 6 May 2016
By the standards set by the Sunny Leone starrers that have come before this one, One Night Stand is a rather staid affair.But that may not be as big a surprise as it may sound to some, given that the film has been written by a woman (Bhavani Iyer) and directed by another (Jasmine Moses-D'Souza).So the gaze here is not so much on Sunny Leone's curves as on the dangers inherent in careless flings.Not that the One Night Stand screenplay is anything to exult over, the film does represent a something of a departure for the lead actress.The film runs less than 100 minutes and Sunny Leone isn't on the screen all the time. And when she is on it, she isn't always in a state of undress.

The rest of the country may be schizophrenic about her but Sunny Leone is very clear about who she is — an ambitious entrepreneur looking to diversify. "I work for the brand. When you are in entertainment, you do whatever it takes to extend the brand beyond movies," she says.
After hardcore videos, semi-porn films, item numbers, reality shows and even a perfume, the Leone enterprise is extending into an altogether new area — literature, more specifically erotic romance of the ripped bodice variety. Her app-driven book of seven "passion and play" short stories, Sweet Dreams, launched this Friday by publisher Juggernaut.

Hrithik - Kangana war: Who's telling the truth?

The escalating war between Hrithik Roshan, 42 years old, and Kangana Ranaut, 29, has split tinsel town down the middle. He's an insider, born to a famous Bollywood father; she's an outsider, from a small village in distant Himachal, who's powered her way into the A-list on the back of her acting talent. It all began with what seemed like a flippant remark by Kangana about a `silly ex', suggesting she and Hrithik had been in a relationship. An incensed Hrithik hit back with a legal notice — and all hell broke loose with the actors and their lawyers hurling allegations and counter-allegations about a torrid affair, hacked emails, an imposter, love in Paris and a behavioural disorder — even as the cyber crime division of the police widened their investigation... But where does the truth lie, really? It's difficult to say; the police have only just begun trying to sift fact from fiction. Right now, every question has more than one answer.

It’s a great time to be a woman : Priyanka Chopra

In the noise of sound bytes, one thing that is constant is the composure of Priyanka Chopra. Her answers make even silly questions sound good. From her desire to run on roller skates in the corridors of the Rashtrapati Bhavan to buying a plane, she makes sure every journalist returns with a quote. She knows the significance of the moment. So no designer outfit, Priyanka turned up in a lime green handloom sari in support of textile industry, the proceeds of which will go to an NGO.
When Padma Shri Priyanka Chopra, finally, sits down to have a chat, one could not help but ask if it is like a mid-life time achievement award? “No, I have been told I am the youngest actress to get a Padma Shri. It is an answer to those misogynistic people who used to say that an actress remains fresh only in her 20s. It is an answer to those who treat women like a commodity and ignore their talent,” she responds with a twinkle in her eyes. “By the way can you put this question to middle-aged men in the industry,” the 33-year-old comes with a light-hearted rejoinder.

Kareena Kapoor eager to do a brother-sister film with Ranbir Kapoor

The long and eclectic list includes Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar and many more. But there is an important name that isn't a part of the list and will never be either. It's Ranbir Kapoor! Given that they are cousins, it obviously is very less likely that we ever see them as a pair opposite each other. But that doesn't mean they can't come on-screen together... as siblings at least. And Kareena very much agrees with this idea.
