<p>Manushi Chillar, a young woman from India’s northern city, Haryana, made history by representing the country at the Femina Miss India pageant in 2017. She wowed everyone with her beauty, brilliance, and wit, as well as her answer about motherhood, which earned her the title.</p>

<p>She brought the coveted beauty pageant crown back to India 17 years after Priyanka Chopra's win in 2000, which was long overdue. Soon, Manushi became a youth icon and a household name across the country, turning into an inspiration for girls in the country. She was greeted with immense love and landed several endorsements. Apart from this, the young star has also been a part of several social work projects as well.</p>

<p>Chillar recently made her debut in the film industry with Yash Raj Films' period drama 'Samrat Prithviraj’ opposite Akshay Kumar, directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi. Based on an epic poem composed in the Braj Bhasha language, the story revolves around the life journey of mighty Rajput King Prithviraj Chauhan.&nbsp; In the movie, Chillar plays the role of Sanyogita, Princess of Kannauj, who is Prithviraj's wife.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Chhillar landed several film opportunities soon after the pageant. However, the star took some time to figure out if she would want to pursue a career in acting or not. "I was studying in a medical school and wanted to become a doctor.

<p>Chhillar's life completely changed after winning Miss World, and when an opportunity like 'Samrat Prithviraj' arrived, the actress thought of shifting her path to acting.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On being asked why she said yes to the film, the actress explains how the story fascinated her.&nbsp;"The story is based on Prithviraj Chauhan, which we all read about. We know these characters. The story I read as a kid. How Prithviraj and Princess Sanyogita eloped from her swayamvar. That caused a little bit of excitement in me."</p>

<p>Talking about her journey from preparing for medicine to a beauty pageant and now pursuing acting, Chhillar says she comes from an environment where everyone thrives on getting a degree and then finding a job.

Speaking of the reactions from family and friends, the former Miss World said, "They all are very very excited. All of them have been waiting for a very long time. Because of the pandemic, the film kept getting pushed."&nbsp;</p>

'Samrat Prithviraj' box office: Akshay Kumar's film is struggling, fails to rake in numbers

<p>The historical period dramas in Hindi cinema mainly take either of two routes – a tale of epic romance with a sprinkling of action like ‘Bajirao Mastani’ or an out-and-out action film like ‘Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior’. However, the Akshay Kumar-starrer ‘Samrat Prithviraj’ attempts to be both but fails to do justice to any specific genre.<br />
<br />
Director Chandraprakash Dwivedi attempts to weave in all the heroic tales about king Prithviraj Chauhan and his love story with Princess Sanyogita in his 133-minute film but the result is a loosely-bound series of sequences lacking coherence. &nbsp;</p>

<p>‘Samrat Prithviraj’ follows the stories and events from the 13th-century poem ‘Prithviraj Raso’ written by Chand Bardai – the court poet of Prithviraj Chauhan. The film follows his rise from the ruler of Ajmer to the throne of Delhi and his battles against Muhammad Ghori of Ghazni. The tales of his valour and the two battles of Tarain feature heavily in the movie about the Rajput king.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Akshay Kumar slips into the battle armour of Prithviraj Chauhan and tries his best to bring the character to life on the screen. Almost 90% of the film features him on the screen but his performance is not much different from most of his recent movies. We have grown accustomed to Akshay Kumar delivering social commentaries on screen and in ‘Samrat Prithviraj’, the only difference seemed to be the costumes and battle armours. However, he does shine in the action scenes and the climax sequence will surely generate a lot of hoots and claps among the audience. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Manushi Chhillar, who was crowned Miss World in 2017, made her Bollywood debut with ‘Samrat Prithviraj’. As the princess of Kannauj, Manushi looked elegant but the rawness was quite apparent in her acting. The 29-year-old age gap between the leading pair also did not help matters as the chemistry, which would have allowed one to invest in the love story, was missing on screen. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The ensemble cast of Ashutosh Rana, Sakshi Talwar and Sonu Sood play their small but significant roles to perfection while Sanjay Dutt tries his best to shine in a role that can be described as half-baked at best. But, one cannot help but sympathise with actor Manav Vij who plays the role of Muhammad Ghori. He has been presented with some of the most one-note dialogues in the film and most of his acting was restricted to menacing glares toward most of the characters in the film. &nbsp;</p>

<p>There are a number of engaging sequences in the movie&nbsp;but the lack of a narrative does not allow the audience to completely immerse into the story.<br />
<br />
Rather than focusing on a few significant events, the film attempts to show glimpses of everything at a breakneck speed. The result is a boring history lesson that fails to excite you about one of the greatest warriors in Indian history.&nbsp;<br />

‘Samrat Prithviraj’ review: Akshay Kumar's movie is a tedious ode to an epic character

<br />
Several reports have claimed the different reasons behind the ban, however, the studio has yet to make an official announcement on this.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
As per the source, via IANS: ''The issue is unnecessarily getting colored with a religious lens in these countries. People should view a film that’s based on history and is authentic from a neutral perspective.''<br />
<br />
'''The fact is that India was looted by invaders who happened to be Muslims. The fact is that Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan fought one such invader and tried to protect India till his last breath. One should view history for what it is.”</p>

<p>The movie also marks the debut of former Miss World ManushI Chhillar. In the movie, she's playing the role of Princess Sanyogita.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Helmed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi, the movie will tell the story of the mighty king&nbsp;and his fight against invader Muhammad Ghor.&nbsp;The film also features Sanjay Dutt, Sonu Sood, Manav Vij, Sakshi Tanwar and Ashutosh Rana in key roles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Nobody is there to write about it..." said the actor."Unfortunately, in our history textbooks there are two-three lines about Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, but a lot has been mentioned about the invaders. There is hardly anything about our culture and our Maharajas. I was taken aback that there is so much about Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan that we don't know about."</p>

<p>"I would like to appeal to the education minister to look into this matter and see if we can change it," the actor said.</p>

<p>The superstar also urged for a "balance" in curriculums to include information on the Indian Kings.</p>

<p>"We can balance it. I am not saying we should not know about Mughals but balance it out, know about kings also, they were great too. Bring it in front of everybody, our children will like to know about Maharana Pratap (the Mewar king), " Akshay said.</p>

<p>On being asked, whether he was questioned at home about why he chose to portray Prithviraj Chauhan and not Akbar or Tipu Sultan, Akshay added, "My son, he knows about British Empire, he knows about Mughals because he studied but he didn`t know about Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan."</p>

<p>'Samrat Prithviraj' is directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi and also stars Miss India 2017 winner, Manushi Chhillar, who is making her Hindi film debut with the movie.

<p>This is a collaboration that no one expected but Lilly Singh and Drew Barrymore just set the internet on fire with their rendition of 1990s hit Bollywood song 'Chura Ke Dil Mera'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Comedian and anchor Lilly Singh appeared on the talk show 'The Drew Barrymore Show' and made the Hollywood star dance to the iconic 1994 Bollywood dance song 'Chura Ke Dil Mera'. The original song featured Akshay Kumar and Shilpa Shetty.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In the video shared by Singh on her Instagram handle, she could be seen grooving to the signature steps of the Alka Yagnik-Kumar Sanu song.<br />
<br />
"Finally met @drewbarrymore and she legit stole my heart. Also, didn`t she nail this?! Ugh. A queen. I had an absolute blast on @thedrewbarrymoreshow today. Fun fact, Drew and I met virtually during the pandemic and instantly became textually active friends, BUT this was our first time meeting in person. It was magical and real and she can keep my heart forever," Singh, 33, captioned the post.</p>

Comedian and anchor Lilly Singh appeared on the talk show 'The Drew Barrymore Show' and made the Hollywood star dance to the iconic 1994 Bollywood dance song 'Chura Ke Dil Mera'. The original song featured Akshay Kumar and Shilpa Shetty. In the video shared by Singh on her Instagram handle, she could be seen grooving to the signature steps of the Alka Yagnik-Kumar Sanu song. "Finally met @drewbarrymore and she legit stole my heart. Also, didn`t she nail this?! Ugh. A queen. I had an absolute blast on @thedrewbarrymoreshow today. Fun fact, Drew and I met virtually during the pandemic and instantly became textually active friends, BUT this was our first time meeting in person. It was magical and real and she can keep my heart forever," Singh, 33, captioned the post.

<p>Virat Kohli remains the poster boy of Indian cricket despite not being the captain across formats. In mid-September, the superstar cricketer announced that he will resign as the shortest format's&nbsp;captain post India's campaign in the 2021 T20 World Cup, in the UAE.</p>

<p>Post the T20 WC, radical changes were made in the Team India setup. While Kohli was sacked as the ODI skipper, he also went onto step down as the Test captain in early 2022. Amid all this, he had already given up Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) captaincy after Bengaluru's end of campaign in IPL 2021. Thus, resuming as a pure batter for India and the RCB franchise, Kohli's brand valuation has taken a dip as well.</p>

<p>According to a report filed by&nbsp;<em>TimesofIndia</em>, the 33-year-old Kohli's brand valuation has shrunk from around $238 million in 2020 to $186 million in the next year (2021). Despite the dip, the former India and RCB skipper continues to hold&nbsp;the top spot in the top celebrity endorser list. This is for the fifth consecutive time that he has retained the No. 1 spot&nbsp;in India's top celebrity endorser list, staying ahead of the likes of Ranveer Singh (second), Akshay Kumar (third), Alia Bhatt (fourth) and MS Dhoni (fifth). Moreover, India's full-time captain Rohit Sharma occupies the 13th spot (with brand value of USD 32.2 million).</p>

<p>On the other hand, Dhoni's brand valuation has also seen an increase (to $61 million).&nbsp;"There were rumours that Dhoni quit the Indian Premier League (IPL). But he turned it around by taking Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to a win and transitioning to the role of a mentor for the national team,” Aviral Jain, MD, Duff &amp; Phelps (A Kroll Business) told TOI. He further added, "Dhoni has become a timeless brand similar to Sachin Tendulkar."</p>

<p>“Brand value is directly proportional to eyeballs, focus and the chemistry the brand is able to create among its users and fans. More so in the case of a persona brand from the world of cricket,” said Harish Bijoor who is the founder of Harish Bijoor Consults.</p>

<p>In a surprising turn of events, Akshay Kumar's latest film 'Bachchhan Paandey' which was released last Friday has performed below expectations at the box office, according to trade pundits. Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri's 'The Kashmir Files' meanwhile has been doing consistently well at the box office.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the state in the 1990s has earned over Rs 179 crores since its release on March 11.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Trade observer Himesh Mankad stated to PTI that the film had a modest release across 600 screens on its opening day, added 1400 more screens by the end of the first weekend.<br />
<br />
As of Monday, the film ran to packed houses across 4000 screens in the country.<br />
<br />
The film's unstoppable box office run surprisingly hindered the performance of Kumar's much-awaited 'Bachchhan Paandey'. The film collected nearly Rs 37 crores on the first weekend since its release. Trade experts say that the collection is at least 15 crores short of what they had expected it to collect upon its release on March 18.<br />
<br />
According to trade analyst Vishek Chauhan, 'The Kashmir Files' has "completely derailed" 'Bachchhan Paandey'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"What has happened to 'Bachchhan Paandey' is simply an act of God. You just can't predict a movement like this. A film needs to occupy a mindset, create enough noise and chatter for the audience to come to theatres. 'Bachchhan Paandey' just couldn't match the noise and euphoria of 'Kashmir Files'. If no one's talking about your film, why will they come and watch it?<br />
<br />
"The discourse, from news channels, social media to papers, is dominated by Kashmir Files, which has effectively drowned 'Bachchhan Paandey,'" Chauhan told PTI.<br />
<br />
Chauhan, who also runs a theatre in Bihar, said his property initially began with just one show of 'The Kashmir Files' and soon increased it to three as the "demand was unprecedented".<br />
<br />
The Farhad Samji-directorial also stars Kriti Sanon, Arshad Warsi and Jacqueline Fernandez.<br />
<br />
"Even before 'The Kashmir Files' became this 'movement', even before the tax-free announcements came in, the film had garnered massive interest in people. Its content, whether one calls it propaganda or something else, had clicked. In contrast, the audience just didn't seem excited enough for 'Bachchhan Paandey'.<br />
<br />
"'Pushpa' released along with the biggie 'Spiderman' last December, faced '83' and yet did well with its numbers. A good film will brave through competition. 'Bachchhan Paandey' got hit there, as the audience feedback was mixed, unlike 'Kashmir Files', which has been unanimous," he added.<br />
<br />
Next week, 'The Kashmir Files' will run alongside SS Rajamouli's much-awaited action drama 'RRR'. The multilingual, headlined by Jr NTR and Ram Charan, is billed as one of the biggest films of Indian cinema.<br />

Bachchhan Paandey: Akshay Kumar looks fierce in new poster

Five secrets you DIDN'T know about Akshay Kumar & Twinkle Khanna's relationship

<p>Critics are &nbsp;either &nbsp;loving it or hating it Aanand Rai’s unconventional &nbsp;love story 'Atrangi Re'.He says&nbsp;he fine with the divided opinions. “As long as no one is indifferent to it, I am fine.When I &nbsp; set &nbsp;off to make this film I &nbsp;was not thinking &nbsp;of &nbsp;how people would react. I never do. I cannot be tied down &nbsp;to expectations, mine or others. I have to do what I &nbsp;have to do. I had to make a film about this girl who cannot be forced to conform.For the &nbsp;longest time, I wanted to do a film on the father-daughter &nbsp;theme. When my writer &nbsp;Himanshu Sharma came up with this idea I knew I had to make this film.”</p>

<p>As Rinku, Sara Ali Khan is &nbsp;all over the place.And that’s the way Aanand wanted &nbsp;it. “I wanted that uncontrollable personality. That’s why she was cast. I must say it was a delightful experience working with her and with Akshay Kumar and Dhanush who are quite easily among the best talent of Indian cinema. Incidentally, I didn’t know that Rinku was Sara’s grandmother Sharmila Tagoreji’s nickname. Sara told me during the shooting. She was &nbsp;very kicked about it.”</p>

<p>I suspect Aanand wrote Dhanush’s character as a Tamilian to accommodate Dhanush?</p>

<p>Aanand can’t stop singing Dhanush and Akshay &nbsp;Kumar’s praise. “Dhanush is &nbsp;a marvel of nature. What he has brought to 'Atrangi Re' is beyond anything I expected.As for Akshay, you know, like me , he doesn’t think about himself. He thinks &nbsp;only &nbsp;about the film.I didn’t have to convince him to do the role . He wanted &nbsp;to be part of 'Atrangi Re'. I wanted a certain magic in the &nbsp;character he &nbsp;played. Akshay has brought in that magic.”</p>

<p>People &nbsp;are wondering &nbsp;how and why Aanand has shown groom-kidnapping &nbsp;in Bihar &nbsp;in this day and age when it has long been abolished. Aanand &nbsp;in his defence says, “But where have I said that my film is set in present &nbsp;times? My films &nbsp;never follow a timeline. In my film the &nbsp;groom kidnapping &nbsp;and what follows, &nbsp;happens. This is &nbsp;the world I wanted to create with my writer Himanshu Sharma.You may &nbsp;have creative &nbsp;and historic quibbles with my world. But I &nbsp;think discussion is &nbsp;a healthy part of &nbsp;any creative endeavour. I am glad people are &nbsp;talking about 'Atrangi Re', good or bad. I’d be worried if they had &nbsp;nothing to say.”</p>

<p>The &nbsp;film addresses &nbsp;the very serious issue of schizophrenia.And yet nowhere is that word mentioned. Aanand says he &nbsp;wanted it that way. “If as &nbsp;you &nbsp;say it is schizophrenia(that one of &nbsp;the protagonists suffers from) &nbsp;then &nbsp;the people &nbsp;around her &nbsp;do &nbsp;not recognize it &nbsp;by &nbsp;that name.Her grandmother,played by Seema Biswas,calls it madness. &nbsp;The &nbsp;characters in the &nbsp;film &nbsp;have probably never heard of schizophrenia. I &nbsp;wanted it to be that way. Early when I had &nbsp;just started shooting Atrangi I showed some rushes to &nbsp;a friend who laughed &nbsp;and cried.He confessed &nbsp;he felt guilty &nbsp;about laughing at the &nbsp;mental disorder of &nbsp;a &nbsp;character. &nbsp;But the laughter is not meant to &nbsp;take &nbsp;away &nbsp;from seriousness of &nbsp;the situation. &nbsp;It is &nbsp;meant to take away the sting from tragedy.”</p>

<p>As for &nbsp;charges of trivializing mental &nbsp;disorder, Aanand shrugs, &nbsp;“I am &nbsp;used &nbsp;to such accusations. When my Raanjhanaa was &nbsp;released I was accused of legitimizing stalking.These things &nbsp;don’t bother me. I won’t stop making the &nbsp;films I want to. I won’t live in &nbsp;the fear of failure. For half my life I was frightened. &nbsp;I am not going to be &nbsp;frightened as a filmmaker.I want to make the &nbsp;films that will be discussed &nbsp;long after I am gone.”</p>

<p>In the end-credits of 'Atrangi Re' Aanand has paid his team members A R Rahman, Irshad Kaamil,(cinematographer) Pankaj &nbsp;Kumar,(editor) Hemal Kothari &nbsp;and writer Himasnhu Sharma a tribute by designating &nbsp;'Atrangi Re' as their film?</p>

<p>Aanand says he hadn’t planned this as a &nbsp;gimmick &nbsp;to impress the audience on how generous he was. “I genuinely feel the film couldn't have been made without them. Rahman Sir’s music takes my film to another level.I told him I didn’t want &nbsp;single songs that &nbsp;would go up the charts. I wanted a soundtrack album where &nbsp;the &nbsp;music and songs &nbsp;carry &nbsp;the story forward.</p>

<p>Any regrets &nbsp;about 'Atrangi Re' not being able to release in movie theatres? “Of course I wanted it released in theatres.That’s where 'Atrangi Re' belongs. Having said, I don’t think &nbsp;there was a choice in the matter. The OTT platform doesn’t diminish &nbsp;the impact of my film.”&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>83</strong><br />
<br />
Kabir Khan narrates the inspiring story of the Indian cricket team which were considered underdogs at the 1983 world cup. With odds against them, the team, headed by Kapil Dev went to win the historic championship. For WION, Shomini Sen writes, "The plot is known to all cricket buffs all too well. India played reigning champions West Indies team at World Cup 1983 in the UK. No one, including members of the cricket board in India and some of the players, believed that the team had a chance to win the coveted cup. But as the team went on to win the initial matches, hopes of not just the team but of Indians across the world rose." <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-_3-review-ranveer-singh-and-his-men-smash-it-out-of-the-park-with-this-glorious-chapter-of-history-438606">Read the full review of '83' here.&nbsp;</a></p>

Anand L Rai, known to create beautiful love stories like 'Tanu Weds Manu' and 'Raanjhana' teams up with writer Himanshu Sharma and actor Dhanush. In WION's review, Shomini Sen writes, "Filmmaker Anand L Rai' and writer and producer Himanshu Sharma, have earlier worked together in films like 'Tanu Weds Manu', 'Zero', Ranjhana. In all these films, female characters are usually rebels, feisty and bossy. 'Atrangi Re' is no different.

In WION's review, Shomini Sen writes, " Michigan state scientist Dr Randall Mindy(DiCaprio) &nbsp;and PhD student Kate Dibiasky (Law) are suitably excited one night when they discover a comet. Their excitement in hours turns into fear as they realise the comet is coming straight at Earth which can lead to the destruction of mankind. &nbsp;With the help of the NASA chief, they manage to get an appointment with the President of the United States Janie Orlean (Meryl Streep), who after making them wait for a day, finally is willing to devote 20 minutes of her time to the concerned scientist.

<p>The lead pair of Anand L Rai's latest 'Atrangi Re' are stark opposites. He is a medical student, she is a vagabond. He is from the south, she is from up north. He is polite, caring, she only listens to her heart. They both are in love with other people but fate forces them to get married.</p>

<p><strong>* This review may contain spoilers.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Both Vishu (Dhanush) and Rinku (Sara Ali Khan) &nbsp;come to an agreement that they will go their separate ways once they reach Delhi. Post their forced wedding, the two have been packed off to Delhi on a train. Vishu has to head to Chennai to get engaged to his college sweetheart and Rinku is waiting for her lover Sajjad (Akshay Kumar) to get back to India from a work trip in Africa. He is a magician, claims Rinku to Vishu.</p>

<p>Things go awry when Vishu's fiance finds out about his secret wedding and he finds himself defending his wife, Rinku in front of his future in-laws. As they head back to Delhi, Vishu realises he is in love with Rinku. But unsettling secrets tumble out and issues of mental health crop up as Rinku realises she is drawn towards Sajjad and Vishu at the same time.</p>

<p>Filmmaker Anand L Rai' and writer and producer Himanshu Sharma, have earlier worked together in films like 'Tanu Weds Manu', 'Zero', Ranjhana. In all these films, female characters are usually rebels, feisty and bossy. 'Atrangi Re' is no different. Rinku is not an easy person to be around which perhaps makes her more attractive for the opposite sex. But the problem in 'Atrangi Re' lies in its treatment of mental health and symptoms related to the various diseases. One of the main characters in the film has symptoms of schizophrenia and instead of treating it with sensitivity, it almost makes it comical, making the writers appear tone-deaf about issues related to mental illness.</p>

<p>At one point in the film, Vishu and his psychiatrist friend Madhukar (Ashish Verma) are shown seated in a small theatre packed with people, aimlessly clapping at Sara Ali Khan who is on stage supposedly aiding Kumar in performing magic tricks. When Vishu asks his friend who are the people in the audience, Madhukar replies 'they are my patients, all suffering from some ailment like Alzheimer, dementia etc. They will surely clap without questioning much.'The scene may infuriate mental health practitioners. It's is quite cringe-worthy to be fair. That's not all, the absurdities lie in the entire story. How is Rinku allowed to stay with Vishu for days at his college hostel? Why does Vishu and his friends- all final year medic students- indulge Rinku and her whims so much? So many plot points remain sketchy throughout 'Atrangi Re'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
That has been a problem in several of Rais films. They trivialize issues or glorify them in the name of true love or unintentionally (I hope) end up offending a certain section of society.</p>

<p>The actors are well cast. Akshay Kumar as the charming magician Sajjad Ali suits the part. Kumar with his superstar persona plays a character who is truly magical in every sense of the term.</p>

<br />
The film revolves around Sara&nbsp;Ali Khan's character Rinku who is a complex personality. She is rebellious, immature and loves the idea of being in love. It's a difficult role to play and Sara handles it with maturity. At some points, she may come across a bit over the top but it suits the character she plays.</p>

<p><img alt="a" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b7380c3f-d1d3-45da-954a-a66e70538981" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20-%202021-12-24T094151.216.jpg" /><br />

The star of the show is undoubtedly Dhanush. He plays Vishu, a man conflicted because of his feelings but also someone righteous. Dhanush is known for his acting prowess (he has won the prestigious Best Actor National Film Award twice) and Vishu is not that complex a character to play. But the actor brings in effortless charm, a certain vulnerability to his role which stays with you much after the film is over. You know that the story is vague and illogical but you want to play along just like Vishu because you want him to be happy.</p>

<p>Some of the scenes though pull your heartstrings. When Vishu professes his love to Rinku in his mother tongue and minutes later Rinku runs off to welcome her lover while Vishu wipes his tears and walks away is a very special moment in the film and performed very well by the principal cast. Then the climax scene- where there are no dialogues but so much is explained about Rinku and Sajjad's past is a powerful scene.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film has AR Rahman churning out some melodious tunes. 'Rait Zarasi' and 'Little little' particularly stand out. Shot by Pankaj Kumar, the film is visually very pleasing. Some silhouette shots, the 'Chakachak' song are so well shot. So are the scenes featuring Akshay Kumar in a circus, performing magic tricks.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In the end 'Atrangi Re' is an indulgent story. Takes ample liberties, leaves several questions unanswered and misses the conversation around mental health by a mile. It deserves a watch only for Dhanush and Rahman's music.</p>

<p>'Atrangi Re' is streaming on Disney+Hotstar.</p>
