Bollywood Movies 2018

2018 was a year of success where new talents were encouraged and loved by the audience. Actors like Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Vicky Kaushal, Ayushmaan Khurana, Ranbir Kapoor were loved by the audience and equally applauded their work due to their choice of movies and acting skills. These actors were in Bollywood for a long time but these movies gave them recognition and opportunity to portray their skills. Bollywood greats like Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, SRK majorly disappointed with their movies and were rejected by the audience. There were some movies which slipped under the radar like Manto, Soorma, Pari, Hichkki but were loved by the audiences who watched it. Debutants like Sara Ali Khan, Jhanvi kapoor, Ishaan Khatar were also loved by audience and have now generated their own fans. Women oriented movies like Raazi, Veere Di Wedding also came and equally loved by the fans and also dominated at the Box Office. Also this year majorly saw an emergence of web platform like Netflix, Amazon Prime where viewers have to pay and watch movies / web series which are barred from censorship. Sacred Games, Mirzapur, Mowgli, Breathe, Bose are some of the web series which were acclaimed and loved by the audiences. These platforms gave chance to viewers to watch their loved movies at their leisure time at their place and whenever they want. There are more series / movies coming to this platform and will be more loved in the years to come. More and more bollywood actors are going to web platform for the type of work which excites them. Regional movies, post Baahubali are been more loved by the audience. KGF Chapter 1 is such an example where a movie has been appreciated by the movie lovers. Marathi movies like Naal, Cycle, Mumbai Pune Mumbai 3 and many more were been equally loved by the audiences.

New age actors like Kartik Aryan, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Vicky Kaushal, Ayushmaan Khurana, Nawazzuddin Siddiqui are been loved, acclaimed, appreciated by the audience and are eager to watch their new movies which are coming through. 2018 was a breakthrough year for cinema lovers and here's hoping that 2019 will be another breakthrough year for Indian cinema with movies like Uri, Thackrey, DreamGirl, Made in China, Brahmastra and many more upcoming movies to release. So hoping to have a wonderful 2019 movie lovers.

Merry Christmas & Have a Happy New Year 2019..!!!!

Long wait and finally, the wait is over when we visited Purepur Kolhapur in Vile Parle. This is one place famous for it's Maharashtraian thalis. You will fall in love with the malwani, seafood from this place.

Purepur Kolhapur, Vile Parle

This is a small place so don't think of a very grand ambience. Your soul purpose to visit this place should be the soulful food. We had a wonderful meal.

Mumbai Pune Mumbai 3 (MPM3)
The most loved Marathi franchise "Mumbai Pune Mumbai" comes with the 3rd installment of the series. The 1st installment of the series started of with the story of Gautam who stays in Pune & Gauri who stays in Mumbai starting off their relationship & 2nd installment focused on the various dilematic situations which arise in every person as their marriage nears but eventually getting married with the person you love gives you the best feeling ever. The 3rd installment picks up from where the second one left & shows how their well planned life suffers a lovely setback as they learn that they are about to become parents.

Mumbai Pune Mumbai 3 review

The franchise which started 9 years ago, is the most loved Marathi movie franchise just because of the songs of the movie & most importantly because of the sweet, lovely chemistry between the lead pair Swapnil Joshi and Mukta Barve. MPM3 which thrives mainly on a very simple story and the lead pair's chemistry makes you go through the journey with ease. Despite 2.30 hrs length of the movie, one does not feel bored anywhere and the audience feels involved with every character and the story in the movie. For Swapnil & Mukta, they are at what they do best so it feels they have lived their characters. Their respective family members also have played their part well. Prashant Damle who plays Swapnil's father in the movie have kept the audience cheerful by giving the funniest moments in the film. The animated baby narration adds to the cuteness to the movie as one feels attached to it and also showcases what's going on in their parents mind. Satish Rajwade's direction is also top notch apart from some scenes.

On the whole, MPM3 is a ultimate family movie which goes through smiles & sadness but at the end leaves you with a smile on your face. A feel-good film which wins the audiences hearts. Go for it...!!

Planning for a weekend gateway but don't wanna go too far then here's a good option. Why don't you go to Gorai. It is in Borivali and you can get there either by ferry which leaves from Gorai Creek - Borivali West or  else you can go by road through Bhayandar. You can get your bike, scooty as well on the ferry so that's a plus. In case of car, you need to come by road. There are number of hotels, lodges, resorts which you can book. Though it is advised you go to the reliable place to have the best of experience with some wonderful memories to cherish for life.

Sun Beach Resort

Gorai beach - Sun Beach Resort

We had been to Sun Beach Resort. It is bit a distance once you reach by ferry so advisable to come during the day as the night charges by the rickshaw is quite high else best is to get your own vehicle. Avoid taking the Gorai beach route to the hotel during high tide.

They have a huge property which includes -

• Deluxe Rooms
• Swimming Pool
• Basketball court
• Machans
• Children Play area
