One word review: Avoidable

A love story based on the pre-Independence British era in 1945 where the young Roop (Alia Bhatt) is torn between respect for husband Dev (Aditya Roy Kapur) and her newfound love for Zafar (Varun Dhawan). Their back stories unfolds and haunt their present and decide their future during the India’s Partition era.

What's Good: There are quite a few good stuff that includes - Alia Bhatt & Varun Dhawan with their screen presence & chemistry. Alia looks beautiful and delicate from start till the end, all thanks to her amazing costumes. Kunal Khemu shines in his small role with grey shade. The sets and the design looks great & humongous.

What's Bad: Too many things to be honest starting with the chemistry. There is absolutely no chemistry between the actors be it Madhuri & Sanjay to Aditya & Sonakshi. Their expressions looks forced and the love isn't visible in any scenes they portray. The length 2 hours and 48 minutes is too long for people to sit and watch the movie. After the first 30 mins, the movie becomes predictable and it feels a decade inside the theater. The direction and the screenplay is too bad that the dialogues seems boring in the course of the movie. Many scenes are left incomplete in the movie and the characters are not well written. The "Bull Fight" scene looks kiddish and has bad VFX which makes it hilarious rather than intense.

Overall, a movie which totally justifies the title and can be avoided easily. With a low rating of 2.5/10 in IMDB, its good to avoid this movie and watch 'Devdas" instead ;)

Directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia and Vishal Furia, this is an Indian adaptation of a BBC series of the same name. The series revolves around Aditya (Vikrant Massey) who gets accussed of murder after having one night stand with a girl under the influence of drugs. The plot revolves around him on how the justice is done.

Criminal Justice Review

Coming to the performances, the central character Vikrant Massey, what an actor he is. Each and every character which he has enacted is just fabulous from being hero's friend in Lootera, Death in the Gunj to Mirzapur, Broken..but beautiful, Made in Heaven and now Criminal Justice. One can say he is a rare talent who can take any role and perform outstandingly well. His expressions, dialogue delivery is just apt to the role from being a fearful boy at the start to fearless person. Eagerly waiting for next release Chhapak. Pankaj Tripathi, one of the most lovable and well known actors in recent times is just simply outstanding in his role as Adv. Madhav Mishra. He aces his character with dry humour, making you smirk at his witty lines. Do watch for his conversation with the psychologist he consults. Jackie Shroff makes his debut in a digital series and aces it "bole to jahkkas bhidu". Pankaj Saraswat is monotone and stereotyped in his role of an honest police officer. Anupriya Goenka is good in her part and supports Tripathi well.

Review on Criminal Justice - Hotstar

On the whole, a worth watching series & will keep you glued to the series despite a lengthy 10 episode series. Do watch it on Hotstar if you are a fan of crime based series & the fabulous actors trio.

My long wait to visit this place finally came true, thanks to my new company 😊 Masala Library by Jiggs Kalra is an amazing restaurant to visit for a wonderful experience. The most important thing to keep in mind is to have a booking done during peek time to avoid being disappointed. It has got a nice ambiance with courteous staff to help you with the best of recommendations.

They have three varieties of offer for us -
1. Buffet
2. A la carte
3. Corporate Menu

We went ahead with a corporate menu which was 5-course meal:) The portions are less but 5 meal is more than enough to fill your stomach.
So, we were welcomed with this complementary drink of coconut water with tiny mango pulp. This was served in such a way that it resembled a bird's nest with eggs. (hats off to their presentation)

Welcome drink - coconut water + mango pulp

1) We started with a snack - Charcoal Papad Chat. Like the name suggests, it tasted like a proper chat but in small portion.

2) In soup, we had lemon coriander shorba. A healthy one!

3) Then began the starters with Prawns Balchao Kulcha. The stuffing within the tiny kulcha of prawns was too delicious.

Followed by Lahori seekh kebab, amchoor and butter jhol. So, the best part of each meal was its presentation. Also the waiter would narrate us the food delicacy in detail of what it consists of.

After having half the meal and reaching to the main course, they served us these misti doi sticks with the strawberry syrup on top to get our taste buds back in track.

Under main course, we had Butter chicken with butter roti. And honestly, we were full by the time main course arrived. Like I mentioned earlier, though the portions were small but since there were many options, we were full.

Photograph - Ritesh Batra (director of LunchBox) brings yet another innocent love story between a street photographer played by Nawazzudin Siddiqui & an aspiring CA student played by Sanya Malhotra. Nawazuddin & Sanya, unique couple in itself gives the perfect blend of romance.

Photograph - Movie Review

This movie is about the budding romantic relationship between characters of two completely different backgrounds and the director is successful in capturing the nervousness, the newness and the hesitance of a growing relationship. The film has little dialogue, similar to real life situations like these, and focuses on capturing gestures. Nawaz plays his role to perfection, his sheer brilliance in delivering minimal dialogues and playing with emotions stands out. Sanya, is absolutely amazing in her calm, composed and measured performance of Miloni (meaning: achiever). Farrukh Jaffer as Dadi really binds the whole movie, and gives us the light-hearted laughs that any romantic story should have. Ritesh Batra, who delivers a convincing comeback, is an artist that the industry must be proud of.

Movie Review on Photograph

They say the camera never lies but the camera is a tool of glorification as much as it is an instrument of accuracy. Photograph is such a movie that thrives on silences, and it is beautiful to acknowledge how, at times, they overcompensate for the absence of words.
