<p>Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan have come together on screen 18 years after their last collaboration, Tashan, which was a major flop. Now, they have teamed up for Priyadarshan's next film, Haiwaan, and in this film, Saif is the hero, and Akshay is the Haiwaan, as this is what all of us are now. Both of them are fantastic actors who know exactly what they are portraying on screen, and in this film, they have portrayed their parts fantastically well. But how is Haiwaan as a film? Watchable, just like other Bollywood thrillers. &nbsp;So needless to say, we as an Indian audience are habitual of watching these kinds of movies, which we also call ''thrillers.''</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While it's a remake, this is one of those thriller films that gives a feeling that you have seen this kind of film before and can guess what is coming up next. Having said that, this film keeps you decently hooked throughout, and for this, the actors deserve the credit. However, when Priyadarshan is in the director's chair, a little touch of comedy is expected, and it plays well.</p>

Still from Haiwaan

<h3>Haiwaan: How is the story?</h3><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Hindi remake of the Malayalam film Oppam, starring Mohanlal, revolves around Shyam, a blind man who, despite his disability, lives his life independently with the help of his intelligence and highly developed sense of smell. He manages all his daily responsibilities on his own, from taking care of his household chores to working as the manager of a high-end residential society in Mumbai. Shyam is very close to a retired Chief Justice, Pradhan (Boman Irani), who has a daughter, Nandini (Pahal Ashok Choudhary), whom he has kept hidden from the world, and Shyam is the only person who knows about her. &nbsp;One day, Pradhan tells Shyam about Parshuram Gokhale, an innocent man whom Pradhan had once been forced to declare guilty of a crime he did not commit. After being convicted, Parshuram's entire family committed suicide.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now, after being released from prison, Parshuram is on a revenge spree against everyone connected to his case, including Pradhan and his daughter Nandini, who is studying at a boarding school. However, after he successfully kills Pradhan, his next target is Nandini and how Blind Shyam will save the girl makes the story a two-hour thriller.</p><h3>Haiwaan - A thriller with a bittersweet taste</h3><p>First things first, Haiwaan is strongly held by Saif, who, as the blind man Shyam, manages to get everything right. He gets hero treatment and does all the heroic things. But it never goes overboard at any point in the film. But, as a viewer, it feels odd when a blind man sings and dances on the ferry or even at a marriage. Akshay is there, and he brings out his villainous side, which we haven't seen for a while now. So it feels fresh. But this pairing has surely worked for me, at least.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>Haiwaan falls short on two points: 1) timing, 2) a redundant story. Where the movie wins is in its execution, performances, cinematography, and music as well. While it lacks in two aspects, the other makes the film watchable if you don't watch it with the thought that it's a thriller.</p>

<p>A nearly two-and-a-half-hour film starts on an interesting note and, without wasting much time, builds up on the right track. The cat-and-mouse chase between Saif and Akshay's characters continues and holds your interest with their confrontations. But how much can two guys save a film when there is not much else to be explored? In thrillers, not everything becomes gripping with just serious zoom-ins and zoom-outs, shadowy or grey-toned shots, or a heavy tone.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While all of this is happening, the film loses its grip with its subplot, and the police investigation was surely one of the most irritating parts. &nbsp;While Haiwaan is decently made, it suffers a bit from genre fatigue.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Haiwaan comes with the old-school vibe that works because of the performances and the camera work that makes the movie watchable.</p>

Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan's Haiwaan is a nearly two-and-a-half-hour film that revolves around a blind man, who goes every lenght to save the life a girl from the man, who is on a revenge spree. The movie is out in theatres. 

Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan have come together on screen 18 years after their last collaboration, Tashan, which was a major flop. Now, they have teamed up for Priyadarshan's next film, Haiwaan, and in this film, Saif is the hero, and Akshay is the Haiwaan, as this is what all of us are now. Both of them are fantastic actors who know exactly what they are portraying on screen, and in this film, they have portrayed their parts fantastically well. But how is Haiwaan as a film?

Having said that, this film keeps you decently hooked throughout, and for this, the actors deserve the credit. However, when Priyadarshan is in the director's chair, a little touch of comedy is expected, and it plays well.

<p>Haiwaan film review: Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan's film is dated, but it tries. The nearly two-and-a-half-hour film revolves around a blind man who goes to great lengths to save a girl. Whether he will be able to do it or not forms the rest of the plot.</p>

Haiwaan review: Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan play well in this old-school thriller

<p><strong>Ghamasaan film review: </strong>With Ghamasaan, Tigmanshu Dhulia is back in the world of crime. The gritty drama began streaming on ZEE5 on September 11 and revolves around a feared dacoit and a police officer determined to bring him down. Set against the rugged landscape of Bundelkhand, Ghamasaan stars Pratik Gandhi as IPS officer Aditya Singh and Arshad Warsi as the ruthless Maharaj. Rajpal Yadav and Ishita Dutta appear in supporting roles.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There is plenty of material in Ghamasaan for a tense political crime thriller, from an intimidating antagonist and a determined cop to a region caught between fear and power. But does the film turn out to be as explosive as its title suggests? Let's find out.</p><h2>Plot of Ghamasaan</h2><p>The story of the film is set in Bundelkhand, where Maharaj has established himself as a dreaded dacoit with influence across several districts. He has been operating for years and has managed to hide from the authorities for several years. His network is protected by several layers of people, making it extremely difficult for the police to capture him.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/arshad-warsi-s-birthday-special-munna-bhai-mbbs-to-asur-6-best-films-and-tv-series-of-the-actor-1776492460122"><strong>Arshad Warsi’s birthday special: Munna Bhai MBBS to Asur- 6 best films and TV series of the actor</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Ghamasaan review

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>The fear surrounding Maharaj continues to grow and people are forced to live under his control. His methods are brutal and anyone who challenges him risks severe consequences.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>An informer comes forward to give details about the dacoit and his operations and the police get a chance to infiltrate Maharaj’s network. But getting close to someone as powerful as Maharaj is a lot more complicated than simply finding him.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Meanwhile, the growing violence associated with Maharaj begins attracting greater political attention. His alleged influence over elections and his connections with powerful people turn the problem into something much larger than anyone had expected.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And this is where we meet IPS officer Aditya Singh. Aditya is a dedicated, low-profile police officer, sent to the Chitrakoot region as part of a Special Task Force operation to take down Maharaj. Unlike the larger-than-life cops, Aditya relies more on patience and planning rather than becoming a "hero".</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/rasika-dugal-on-saanson-ki-mala-becoming-beena-tripathi-s-anthem-beautiful-to-see-it-find-a-completely-new-context-1789100215347"><strong>Rasika Dugal on ‘Saanson Ki Mala’ becoming Beena Tripathi’s anthem</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>As Aditya and his team begin studying Maharaj's network, they realise that they cannot reach Maharaj just by themselves. Informers, local contacts and Maharaj's own associates become crucial to the investigation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>At the same time, Aditya's pursuit begins affecting his personal life. His wife, Aparna (Ishita Dutta), has to face the perils that come with her husband’s duty.</p><p>The deeper Aditya goes into the operation, the more complicated the battle becomes. He isn't only dealing with Maharaj; there is also pressure from the politicians and people within the system.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Rajpal Yadav's Kalika becomes an important part of the mission. What follows is a cat-and-mouse game between the STF and a dacoit who has ruled the region for years.</p><h2>What works and what doesn't</h2><p>One of the most effective elements of the film is, of course, the performances by the seasoned actors.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pratik Gandhi does justice to the character of IPS Aditya Singh, who isn't written as a larger-than-life action hero. His performance isn't flashy, but does the work as a man trying to operate inside an environment where almost everyone has a hidden agenda.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Arshad Warsi is a versatile performer and the actor has proved it once again by turning into a violent and intimidating dacoit. He does bring menace to Maharaj, and the character's reputation is established long before he becomes a constant presence.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, the film has not fully explored the man behind the criminal. His brutality and influence are seen throughout 2 hours and 30 minutes, but Maharaj could have been a more layered villain. It would have been interesting to know what made him this way.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/hunkkaar-trailer-aneet-padda-fatima-sana-shaikh-vs-the-powerful-baapji-1789047771553"><strong>Hunkkaar trailer: Aneet Padda &amp; Fatima Sana Shaikh vs the powerful 'Baapji'</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Rajpal Yadav as Kalika is also one of the film's strengths. The character gives Yadav room to bring a balance of humour and vulnerability in an otherwise gruesome setting.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The villages, forests, language, costumes and overall visual setting are another good part of the film. Unlike the usual action movies, Ghamasaan's backdrop feels authentic and the political and criminal networks appear to grow naturally out of the region. It works well when the film shows how fear becomes part of everyday life due to Maharaj's influence.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Additionally, the political-criminal connection gives the story weight, as Maharaj's power isn't based solely on the guns his gang carries, but it also comes from the ecosystem around him.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now, coming to the biggest problem in Ghamasaan, it's the film's pacing. The story has spent a considerable amount of time building Maharaj's reputation before Aditya comes into the picture. While it was necessary to present Warsi's character as more than an ordinary criminal, the execution can test the viewer's patience.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The opening portion was interesting in bits and pieces, but they don't always come together with enough momentum. The story becomes more engaging once Gandhi's Aditya arrives in Bundelkhand. This makes the film's second half feel stronger.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And yes, the film doesn't provide something new. Ghamasaan is another story about a powerful criminal, an honest cop and a corrupt system.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/nayyi-navelli-teaser-yami-gautam-s-witchy-avatar-mohini-gives-fans-chills-1789034536227"><strong>Nayyi Navelli teaser: Yami Gautam's 'witchy' avatar Mohini gives fans the chills</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>No doubt, the film tries to distinguish itself through its grounded treatment, but it doesn't stand out.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Several supporting characters in the film are unevenly developed. Only Gandhi and Warsi have been given most of the attention.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And the most disappointing portion is the climax, as it comes abruptly and quicker than expected</p>

Ghamasaan film review: With Ghamasaan, Tigmanshu Dhulia is back in the world of crime. The gritty drama began streaming on ZEE5 on September 11 and revolves around a feared dacoit and a police officer determined to bring him down. Set against the rugged landscape of Bundelkhand, Ghamasaan stars Pratik Gandhi as IPS officer Aditya Singh and Arshad Warsi as the ruthless Maharaj. Rajpal Yadav and Ishita Dutta appear in supporting roles. There is plenty of material in Ghamasaan for a tense political crime thriller, from an intimidating antagonist and a determined cop to a region caught between fear and power. But does the film turn out to be as explosive as its title suggests? Let's find out. Plot of Ghamasaan The story of the film is set in Bundelkhand, where Maharaj has established himself as a dreaded dacoit with influence across several districts. He has been operating for years and has managed to hide from the authorities for several years. His network is protected by several layers of people, making it extremely difficult for the police to capture him.

<p>Aneet Padda plays a young girl who takes on a powerful spiritual guru and accuses him of sexual abuse in the new web series Hunkkaar. The trailer of the series was unveiled on Thursday and features Fatima Sana Shaikh as a police officer investigating the case.</p><p>The series also boasts of actors like Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Arjun Mathur, Raghubir Yadav, Rajesh Sharma and Ram Kapoor.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Hunkkaar trailer</h2><p><br>The trailer opens with Aneet’s Meenu standing at a police station with her parents and getting a complaint registered against an influential spiritual guru, Baapji (Raghubir Yadav), for abusing her. The trailer then goes on to show how the victim and her intent are questioned for taking on someone so powerful. Even her own father questions her motives as she doesn’t fit the mould of how a victim is expected to behave.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Meanwhile, ACP Jasleen Singh Soni (Fatima Sana Shaikh) tries to get to the bottom of the case and challenges Baapji. She, too, is threatened and intimidated by his clan and influence.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub plays “the only lawyer who believes Meenu in this country”, while Ram Kapoor plays Baapji’s lawyer, defending him. Arjun Mathur plays a television journalist who follows the accusations.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is Aneet Padda’s first release after the success of Saiyaara, which released in 2025. Incidentally, Padda had shot for the web show before she gained stardom for Saiyaara.&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><p>Hunkkaar is directed by Karan D Kapadia, Nitya Mehra and Heeraz Marfatia, and created by Karan D Kapadia and Nitya Mehra.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Aneet Padda spoke about playing Meenu Rawat and said, “Meenu isn’t defined by what happened to her, but by what she chooses after. She’s young, complicated and not always easy to understand; that’s what makes her real. Her one constant? A refusal to be silenced. I hope audiences see her vulnerability and the defiance at the heart of her journey.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p> </p><h2>Priyanka Chopra backs the show</h2><p><br>The gripping drama is produced by Birla Studios and Applause Entertainment, in association with Purple Pebble Pictures.

In the web series Hunkkaar: The Roar, Aneet Padda accusses a pwoerful spiritual guru of sexually abusing her. Fatima Sana Shaikh plays the investigating officer of the case. 

Aneet Padda plays a young girl who takes on a powerful spiritual guru and accuses him of sexual abuse in the new web series Hunkkaar. The trailer of the series was unveiled on Thursday and features Fatima Sana Shaikh as a police officer investigating the case. The series also boasts of actors like Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Arjun Mathur, Raghubir Yadav, Rajesh Sharma and Ram Kapoor. Hunkkaar trailer The trailer opens with Aneet’s Meenu standing at a police station with her parents and getting a complaint registered against an influential spiritual guru, Baapji (Raghubir Yadav), for abusing her. The trailer then goes on to show how the victim and her intent are questioned for taking on someone so powerful. Even her own father questions her motives as she doesn’t fit the mould of how a victim is expected to behave. Meanwhile, ACP Jasleen Singh Soni (Fatima Sana Shaikh) tries to get to the bottom of the case and challenges Baapji. She, too, is threatened and intimidated by his clan and influence. Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub plays “the only lawyer who believes Meenu in this country”, while Ram Kapoor plays Baapji’s lawyer, defending him. Arjun Mathur plays a television journalist who follows the accusations. This is Aneet Padda’s first release after the success of Saiyaara, which released in 2025. Incidentally, Padda had shot for the web show before she gained stardom for Saiyaara. Hunkkaar is directed by Karan D Kapadia, Nitya Mehra and Heeraz Marfatia, and created by Karan D Kapadia and Nitya Mehra. Aneet Padda spoke about playing Meenu Rawat and said, “Meenu isn’t defined by what happened to her, but by what she chooses after. She’s young, complicated and not always easy to understand; that’s what makes her real. Her one constant? A refusal to be silenced. I hope audiences see her vulnerability and the defiance at the heart of her journey.”

<p>But what is the evidence? &nbsp;Filling in for Akshaye Khanna, Jaideep Ahlawat makes a powerful entry as a fiery cop who is now leading the case. And watching the trailer, it looks like that he is on the verge of uncovering the truth about Sam and the Salgaonkar family's involvement in the case. But as Prakash Raj's character says in the trailer, Vijay may be illiterate, but it would be a mistake to take him lightly. As we have seen in the last two films, he is always a step ahead with his planning, and this time too, it seems he will go to any extent to save his family and walk away clean.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The trailer is gripping, with an intense tone, powerful expressions, and a strong hook that leaves you wondering how the story will unravel this time. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Expectations for the film are sky-high, and the truth will finally unravel in cinemas on October 2.&nbsp;</p>

Helmed by Abhishek Pathak, Drishyam: The Conclusion also stars Tabu, Ishita Dutta, Jaideep Ahlawat, Rajat Kapoor, and Shriya Saran in pivotal roles. Movie will release on October 2. 

Drishyam is heading towards its conclusion, and this time everyone knows that Vijay Salgaonkar (Ajay Devgn) has done it. IG Meera Deshmukh (Tabu) and her team only want to unravel the truth, and as her character says, she wants revenge, not just justice for her son Sam. While all the old characters are returning, the big new addition is Jaideep Ahlawat, who is the new cop, behind Devgn's character and will make things much more difficult for him. How Vijay will save himself and his family will be interesting to watch. Directed by Abhishek Pathak, the film also stars Tabu, Ishita Dutta, Jaideep Ahlawat, Rajat Kapoor, and Shriya Saran in pivotal roles. Drishyam 3 trailer out: It's Vijay Salgaonkar and family vs everyone On Wednesday (Sept 9), the trailer of Drishyam: The Conclusion was unveiled in Goa in the presence of the media, and it takes the audience back into the world of Vijay; this time, everyone is against him. And how he will save his family and told the world that he's innocent makes up the rest of the story. The trailer opens with Meera Deshmukh asking author Murad Ali (Saurabh Shukla) what Vijay will do this time, to which he replies, "Only Vijay knows, or God."Meera is back seeking revenge for her son, while Vijay, in a voiceover, reveals that the police have evidence against him this time - evidence that could prove his family killed Sam.

<h2>Makers on the series</h2><p>Talking about being a part of the anthology, Vikramaditya Motwane says, “What drew me to Lust Stories 3 was the chance to explore what happens when the comfort of everyday life begins to rub up against the desire for something unexpected, and this story allowed me to explore that space with warmth, humour and a little bit of unpredictability. Bringing it to life with the crew, the producers, Netflix, and with this madly gifted cast was an incredible experience.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/a-version-never-seen-before-ali-fazal-on-his-massive-transformation-as-guddu-bhaiya-for-mirzapur-the-movie-1787117668706"><strong>Ali Fazal on his massive transformation as Guddu Bhaiya for Mirzapur</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Kiran Rao adds, “What interested me about this story was how the first sparks of an attraction can quickly become something far more complicated. Desire makes us curious, and sometimes willing to take chances we normally wouldn’t. I was interested in what happens when those choices begin to have unexpected consequences. The anthology format, and the creative freedom Netflix gave us, allowed me to play with intimacy and humour. I really enjoyed finding that balance, letting the characters follow their impulses, and take us to surprising territory. I hope it’s a fun, unpredictable ride that keeps the audience on their toes.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Shakun Batra says, "For me, the most interesting relationships are the ones where people don’t quite know what they’re feeling, or how to make sense of it. Affection, insecurity, allure and frustration can all exist at the same time, often in ways that surprise us. I wanted to explore that emotional ambiguity with honesty, without judging the characters or trying to give them easy answers. There’s something inherently dramatic, and often quite funny, about watching people navigate those contradictions. Working with such a talented cast, and having the creative space with Netflix to let those emotions unfold naturally, made this a really rewarding experience."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/cannes-film-festival-2026-aditi-rao-hydari-stuns-at-the-red-carpet-in-an-elegant-green-gown-1778953332206"><strong>Cannes Film Festival 2026: Aditi Rao Hydari stuns at the red carpet in elegant green gown | See pics</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Vishal Bhardwaj concludes, "What fascinates me about desire is how deeply it is connected to imagination - to the stories we tell ourselves, and sometimes the stories we are afraid to tell out loud. I was drawn to the idea of exploring that space through a character finding her own voice and discovering what happens when that voice reaches beyond her. There’s humour, mischief and emotion in that journey, but also questions about identity, expression and who gets to tell stories about desire. That made this a particularly exciting story for me to explore. Being part of an anthology with three such distinctive filmmakers was a wonderful creative experience, and Netflix gave all of us the freedom to tell these stories in our own way."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lust Stories 3 premieres September 18, only on Netflix.</p>
