Shahid Kapoor-Kriti Sanon’s upcoming romance drama finally gets a title

<p>From dynamic duo Arjun and Kartk's <em>Taali,</em>&nbsp;based on the life of transgender activist Gauri Sawant, to hitmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra's <em>12th Fail</em>,&nbsp;depicting the highly inspirational life story of Manoj Kumar Sharma; here is an overview of some of the trendsetters of the year.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani:</strong><br />
&nbsp;<br />
This film, within the framework of commercial cinema, explored gender equations, oppressive family narratives and a love far removed from the often regressive values of director Karan Johar's debut film, <em>Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.</em>&nbsp;A Durga Puja celebration where two men perform the "Dola Re"&nbsp;song, a lingerie store where the hero is schooled to accept women as equal human-beings, a grandmother who finds love again, a heroine who won't be intimidated and a hypermasculine hero who unlearns sexism are just some of the moments that made this film so clutter-breaking.</p>

<p><img alt="RRKPK" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="91a9a32b-21a8-42a9-a1c9-49e3eb167241" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-12-08T180137.676.jpg" /></p>

<p>This film represents Johar's deliberate attempt at more nuanced storytelling. Starring Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi and Jaya Bachchan, the film is now available on Amazon Prime.<br />
<strong>&nbsp;<br />
Taali:</strong><br />
&nbsp;<br />
As stated by the dynamic duo Arjun and Kartk in various media interactions, when they chose to make a series based on transgender activist Shreegauri Sawant's life, they were aware of the challenges ahead. However, the series and its resounding success has vindicated their faith not only in the project but also in the decision to cast Sushmita Sen in the titular role. The web series not only became one of the most-watched Indian OTT offerings but also mainstreamed an awe-inspiring tale that has never been heard before.</p>

<p><img alt="Taali" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="74c81580-4ec6-4886-b1de-196c908f02b5" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-12-08T180240.630.jpg" /></p>

<p>The show that&nbsp;cast hundreds of trangender persons&nbsp;portrayed the heartbreak and strife that all LGBTQ individuals go through in our society with great sensitivity. Directed by Ravi Jadhav and backed by a superb performance by Sushmita, <em>Taali</em>&nbsp;is available for streaming on JioCinema.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<strong>Dhak Dhak:</strong><br />
&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;A road film about self-discovery and rekindling the dormant passion for living, <em>Dhak Dhak </em>breaks many stereotypes.

From dynamic duo Arjun and Kartk's Taali, based on the life of transgender activist Gauri Sawant, to hitmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 12th Fail, depicting the highly inspirational life story of Manoj Kumar Sharma; here is an overview of some of the trendsetters of the year.

From dynamic duo Arjun and Kartk's Taali, based on the life of transgender activist Gauri Sawant, to hitmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra's 12th Fail, depicting the highly inspirational life story of Manoj Kumar Sharma; here is an overview of some of the trendsetters of the year. Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani: This film, within the framework of commercial cinema, explored gender equations, oppressive family narratives and a love far removed from the often regressive values of director Karan Johar's debut film, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. A Durga Puja celebration where two men perform the "Dola Re" song, a lingerie store where the hero is schooled to accept women as equal human-beings, a grandmother who finds love again, a heroine who won't be intimidated and a hypermasculine hero who unlearns sexism are just some of the moments that made this film so clutter-breaking. This film represents Johar's deliberate attempt at more nuanced storytelling. Starring Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi and Jaya Bachchan, the film is now available on Amazon Prime. Taali: As stated by the dynamic duo Arjun and Kartk in various media interactions, when they chose to make a series based on transgender activist Shreegauri Sawant's life, they were aware of the challenges ahead. However, the series and its resounding success has vindicated their faith not only in the project but also in the decision to cast Sushmita Sen in the titular role. The web series not only became one of the most-watched Indian OTT offerings but also mainstreamed an awe-inspiring tale that has never been heard before. The show that cast hundreds of trangender persons portrayed the heartbreak and strife that all LGBTQ individuals go through in our society with great sensitivity. Directed by Ravi Jadhav and backed by a superb performance by Sushmita, Taali is available for streaming on JioCinema. Dhak Dhak: A road film about self-discovery and rekindling the dormant passion for living, Dhak Dhak breaks many stereotypes. Rarely have we ever seen a Hindi film without a male lead, or a woman biker in a hijab, a grandmother dreaming of riding her bike to the highest motorable pass in the world or a journey where four women are the heroes of their own stories.

Five inspirational transformations Bollywood actors underwent for a role

<p>BTS enjoys a huge fan following in India. While the ARMY in India is strong, the band has never performed here. Now, band member Suga has expressed his desire to visit India soon. Suga is currently on his first solo tour - Agust D-Day Tour- and has been touring the world. After his recent concert in Bangkok, Suga hosted&nbsp;a live session where he admitted that he wants to travel to India and that he loves Bollywood.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>‘I want to tour India'&nbsp;</strong><br />
<br />
During the live session, Suga whose actual name is Min Yoongi, was going through the comments on the Weverse Live and acknowledged the love he has received from India. When a fan asked about his plans to perform here in the country, Suga said, “India? Guys, I really want to go perform in India. Before the tour dates were announced, we were looking at a few different places for the shows. One of those was India, but unfortunately, we couldn’t set up a show due to Covid.”<br />
<br />
A few moments later, he mentioned that he sees that a lot of love has been pouring from India. He also added that he loves Bollywood films. “I want you guys to know I’m seeing all the flags you’ve been putting in the comments. One day, I’ll go visit each and every place.”<br />
<br />
He added, “India, I’ve heard there are a lot of ARMYs supporting us from India. Guys, I’m a fan of Indian movies, love the Bollywood films.”<br />
<br />
As Suga expressed his desire to visit India, Twitter was flooded with messages from Indian fans of BTS as they could not contain their excitement. Many would recall that in 2020, a Mumbai tour of BTS had to cancelled owing to Covid and the lockdown. Since then a lot has changed and BTS as a band has announced its break so that the seven member group can concentrate on their respective solo careers. Two members are serving mandatory duties in the South Korean army.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Suga of BTS released his first solo album, D-Day, in April and since then has been touring America and Asia.&nbsp;</p>

"I did get a lot of offers in Hindi, but I don't think they can afford me. I don't want to waste my time working in an industry which can't afford me. The stardom and the respect I get here (in South) is huge, so I never really thought of leaving my industry and going to some other industry. I have always thought of doing films and becoming bigger. My dream is coming true now and I can't be happier," the actor reportedly told the media during an interaction.&nbsp;<br />

From 'RRR' to 'Jersey': Bollywood films postponed again due to COVID-19

<p>The underrated Vivek Oberoi has completed &nbsp;20 years in the film industry. He says he is surprised he has survived for so long. “It's going to be 20 years for me to be in the industry next year, two decades. It's quite funny as I keep saying I'm probably the guy, the actor who should have the Guinness Record for the maximum obituaries written for his career. I'm still standing here and enjoying myself and doing well for myself. For me, it's about being in the now, not looking in the rearview mirror but driving forth and enjoying the view. I'm happy and that's what matters to me.”</p>

<p>Vivek &nbsp;Oberoi feels doing the third season of Amazon Prime's &nbsp;'Inside Edge' is a bit of homecoming. &nbsp;“But there is no place for complacency. We feel that you could just sleep through the character you have been doing since 2017 and just walk through it. But it's different because somewhere my character &nbsp;Vikrant Dhawan and the series have got all this love and so many fans.”</p>

<p>Vivek confesses the performance anxiety during the shooting the third season of 'Inside Edge' was palpable. “For me the pressure of performing, to match the expectations of all the people who look forward to seeing Vikrant Dhawan coupled with the fact that you want to retain the essence of what works and what doesn't, what people like about the character but at the same time evolve and bring something new to it, and that's always the difficult one.”</p>

<p>About the many layers to his character Vivek says, “Vikrant's character is very larger than life. Most places you will see him with that larger than life persona with the exception of some scenes in Season 3, where his mask falls off, where you see his scars, things that make him what he really was. All of this wasn't a cakewalk and I was extremely nervous on the first day of my shoot for this season. I kept calibrating every shot, I kept asking my director Kanishk Varma &nbsp;many questions during the shoot.”</p>

<p>A &nbsp;lot of homework went into playing &nbsp;Vikrant. &nbsp;“Ever since the beginning of my career, I tend to write an autobiography of all the characters I have played so far. I write a script of my own from the character's childhood till the point the script actually begins and then what happens after the script has ended. So I get the holistic sense of the character. That helps a lot. Vikrant is somebody who is ambitious but feels disfranchised at some point in his life, which you feel see in the third season. When someone's been disfranchised or disempowered, the hunger and greed for sheer power are extreme and that's Vikrant. He has this strange dynamic with power and it reflects interestingly in his relationship with his wife Sudha that you see in the whole BDSM and domination angle. It's a very interesting parallel between the two.”</p>

<p>Vivek reveals he shares a great rapport with the rest of the 'Inside Edge' cast. &nbsp;“From the very first party that I threw for the cast before we started filming, and we just hung out. We spoke, we ate, we jammed and we removed any kind of hierarchy between the young actors and us. By doing that you allow a free flow of ideas, discussions and we are established as one team that is moving towards one goal. We are like one large extended family with a hilarious WhatsApp group.”</p>

<p>Vivek reveals there’s a reason why we see so little of him on screen. “I have been truly busy with setting up my university in Gujarat. I have been setting up my startup ecosystem, building a few companies, taking a few companies public. I have been doing a lot of interesting things outside the film space which are now well-settled and structured and now I think I have the right amount of time and hunger to come and do a lot more work as an actor. This year I have about six projects on the table and lot more exciting stuff coming up that I am producing and writing.”</p>

<p>The 'Company'-'Saathiya' actor sees the OTT platform as a blessing, and not even in disguise. “OTT is a phenomenal blessing for the actors. I think what OTT has done is a trick that we missed as an industry. We missed nurturing an ecosystem for the young, bright talent and purely basing it on merit rather than what lobby, what friendship and what surname you bring to the table. That's something we missed. We built it in a way that didn't allow the fresh talent to flourish. OTT does that. I think OTT has taken the mantle to be that nursery where people can showcase their creativity. It is so democratic. What OTT does is that you have a big movie or a show and also a small movie or a show. OTT is doing a lot more for the actors and the art. Everybody is benefitting from OTT.”</p>

'Pad Man' to 'Article 15': Celebrating neo-patriotism in Bollywood

<p>Ace badminton player Saina Nehwal's biopic 'Saina' featuring Parineeti Chopra received mix response from masses as well as critics when it released in theatres earlier this year in theatres. Now, the film is gearing up for a television premiere, and Parineeti couldn't be happier.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Parineeti said watching the movie on TV would be a&nbsp;fulfilling experience. Speaking to a media outlet, Parineeti recalled the days she had trained for the film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
While sharing her experience, Parineeti said,&nbsp;"`Saina` has inspired millions and it was extremely fulfilling to play her on screen. It took blood and sweat to transform myself. I vividly remember spending my days as an athlete and even crying out of pain on the court. But it was all worth it. Saina Nehwal was my initial guiding force. Priyanka Chopra even gave me pointers on how to mould myself for the role, since she played a sports character in the past."<br />
<br />
Meanwhile&nbsp;Saina Nehwal said&nbsp;it was surreal to see her own life on screen. She was delighted looking at Amole Gupte`s creative vision, Parineeti and child actor Naishaa`s portrayal of her character.<br />
<br />
"This experience of re-watching my journey has made me realise that sure, hard work and talent is what drives you to live your dreams, but one of the most important aspects is the support system. I am indebted to my parents, my husband and coaches as without them, my life wouldn`t be the same. They constantly motivated me and pushed me to chase my dreams, and that`s what kept me going on the most difficult days. I can only hope that my story will positively motivate young dreamers to go all out in the pursuit of their dreams," said&nbsp;Saina.<br />
<br />
Directed by Amole Gupte, the movie featured the brilliant Parineeti Chopra donning the role of Saina along with the remarkable Manav Kaul, Meghana Malik and Eshan Naqvi in pivotal roles. The film will premiere on July 25 on Zee Cinema.</p>

Parineeti Chopra: Playing Saina Nehwal on big screen was fulfilling

<p>A rags-to-riches story is a sure-fire tearjerker, and especially makes for a good cry when that rag-wearing gentleman is a Hindi-speaking, slum-dwelling Indian. Case in point: Eight Oscars’ winner ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, if you’re still asking.</p>

<p>Why only ridicule Danny Boyle for borrowing India’s sob story and presenting it to a global audience? For time immemorial, Bollywood filmmakers, too, have milked that trope—albeit a few rehashes in the underlying theme, if at all—and found their way to the hallways of several award shows: some duly deserved, others not so much.</p>

<p>This year, repeating that cycle of cinematic revisionism is Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, with his latest sports drama ‘Toofaan’.</p>

<p><img alt="Farhan Akhtar delves deep" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c690b526-3a71-4db0-b99b-4b3e4e626d59" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20%2841%29.jpg" /></p>

<p><br />
The odd yet imperative conclusion one comes to about Mehra’s repertoire is that he is a storyteller always standing on the extreme ends of the film spectrum—either you get a ‘Rang De Basanti’ or a ‘Mirzya’; there’s no in-between.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, with ‘Toofan’, he has inclined towards the latter.</p>

<p>What starts off as a Dongri’s ‘gunda-mawali’ Ajju Bhai aka Aziz Ali (Farhan Akhtar) extorting money before finally realising his true calling in life is, in fact, boxing, ends up becoming a plea for communal harmony, an exposé within India’s boxing federation.</p>

<p>And then there’s the forced-down-your-throat romance between pro-choice Ananya Prabhu (Mrunal thakur) and ‘The Storm’ himself.</p>

<p><img alt="A love like no other. Or is it?" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9cd3019e-c2ac-44b3-908d-8eb259a8d275" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20%2847%29.jpg" /></p>

<p><br />
The film’s momentum dips early on, with moments of rushed revival coming in the form of an amiable Farhan’s easy-on-the-eye screen presence, only to fall flat again seconds later.</p>

<p>Of all things that could have—and has—gone wrong with this sports drama/ social commentary, the dialogues seem to be the worst. What were writers Vijay Maurya and Anjum Rajabali thinking when they put these dated, 90s-esque dialogues to the paper: “Naali main pada hua mila tha (I found you in a ditch)”, “tereko slap degi main (loosely translates to: I shall slap you)”, among other equally melodramatic sentences that the actors mouth.</p>

<p>Second to that is the (unaccredited) background score: laden with 80s Bollywood-ish melancholy in intense scenes and over-the-top glee in heroic moments.</p>

<p><img alt="All on all out?!" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d184a7e6-759a-46af-ac81-2c52f8fa29b8" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20%2842%29.jpg" /></p>

<p><br />
Mrunal Thakur is an affable presence in the film—sans that put-on colloquial Mumbaiya accent—and she makes an effort to have the kind of rapport Farhan’s previous female leads had with him, Sonam Kapoor &amp; Co., but the pair has very little chemistry going on between them and it translates on screen.</p>

<p>This movie is no ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ (by Mehra, again) and Farhan knows that, too. &nbsp;He more or less maintains a solid grip over his character and changes his approach with the ever-changing plot but the narrative of ‘Toofaan’ is beyond saving, good acting or not.</p>

<p>Paresh Rawal as Coach Nanu Prabhu is more for the free-ka-gyaan and less for the role he has been hired to do. Big, bombastic words do not make up for the lack of depth in his character.</p>

<p><img alt="Mrunal plays the role of a doctor, Ananya Prabhu" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="432e6cfb-b78e-4e2b-94bc-80f219e7c822" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20%2845%29.jpg" /></p>

<p><br />
At the risk of sounding hyper-analytical, we are going to say that ‘Toofaan’ is a hotchpotch of ‘Panga’, ‘Dangal’, Mehra’s own marvelous ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ and every other sports drama-cum-rags-to-riches-cum-road-to-redemption story you can think of. And that is heartbreaking because a good director fails on insipidity grounds and a good actor, remains underutilised.</p>

<p><br />
How did Aziz Ali become ‘toofaan’ (splash/storm) in quick succession is anybody’s guess—a parallel character even goes on to the extent of comparing him to Muhammad Ali, twice!—but it is no Oscar-winning ‘Million Dollar Baby’. At best, we will call it the gender-reversed ‘Mary Kom’… at best!&nbsp;</p>

Indian state of Maharashtra, the home of Bollywood, is reeling under new surge in Covid-19 cases. A lockdown is likely to hit theatrical release of several Bollywood blockbusters, bleeding an industry already reeling under a year of the pandemic.

Fate of big Bollywood theatrical releases uncertain as Maharashtra gripped by Covid 19

<p>Just a few days back, Bollywood superstar<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-aamir-khan-quits-social-media-shares-last-post-thanking-fans-370634">&nbsp;Aamir Khan announced that he was quitting social media</a> for good. The decision came as surprise to many of his fans even though Khan was not very regular on any of the social media platforms.</p>

<p>Khan quit social media on Sunday, a day after his birthday on March 15, setting off wild theories on social media and the media.<br />
<br />
"Do not put your theories about me quitting social media. Main apni dhunki mein rehta hoon (I live by my will), and above all where am I on social media?

Paglait: Sanya Malhotra unveils the teaser of the film on her birthday 

<p>The teaser of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's highly anticipated film 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' was unveiled on Wednesday and got a roaring response from Bollywood and fans alike. Featuring Alia Bhatt in the titular role, the film is based on a chapter from the book 'Mafia Queens of Mumbai' by author Hussain Zaidi.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Alia looks strikingly different in the teaser as she gears up to play one of the most dreaded madams of Mumbai who was known to have connections in the underworld. Bollywood actors and fans have all praised the teaser which leaves a lasting impact.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
This is Alia's first film with Bhansali who makes a comeback on the big screen after three long years. His last film 'Padmavat' got embroiled in controversy and was a blockbuster hit.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Reports state that Bhansali had been eager to make the film on Gangubai for a long time. Reports also suggest that Alia was not Bhansali's first choice and he in fact had earlier planned to make the film with Rani Mukerji or Priyanka Chopra.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In 2019, rumours suggested that both Rani and Priyanka were in talks to play the matriarch.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Priyanka later clarified in an interview that she had not spoken to Bhansali about the film, When she was asked whether she and Alia were boith approached for the film, Priyanka said, "I have no idea. I haven’t signed a Hindi film yet because the two I’m doing in the US and the one I’m starting next year, are taking up my time.”<br />
<br />
Chopra, who had worked with Bhansali in 'Bajirao Mastani', added, "I’m a fan of Sanjay Leela Bhansali in whatever he makes, I’ll always be his fan."<br />
<br />
Several media reports suggest that Bhansali had initially planned to make the film with Rani Mukerji in the lead. The actress had worked with Bhansali in path breaking film 'Black' and also had a cameo in 'Sawariyaan'. It seems the film with Rani did not materialise and eventually, Bhansali approached Priyanka who was at that time busy trying to establish her career in Hollywood.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He had announced 'Inshallah' with Alia and Salman Khan in 2019- but the film got shelved eventually and Bhansali decided to block Alia for 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' and the rest is history.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film is slated to release in theatres on July 30 and will trace the story of a young girl who is forced into prostitution and how she eventually becomes one of the most dreaded mafia queens of Mumbai.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Actor Sumeet Raghavan, best known for his role in TV series 'Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai' was part of BR Chopra's epic show 'Mahabharat'. The actor was all of 16 when he played the role of Sudama in the show.<br />
<br />
The epic show is being re-telecast on Doordarshan amid the nationwide lockdown. Fans were quick to spot Raghavan and shared the screenshots with the actor, asking if it was actually him.<br />
<br />
Speaking to a daily, Sumeet said, "I was very young when I bagged the role, and as excited as any new kid on the block. I was quite skinny at the time, probably that’s why I got the role! (laughs). We had barely shot for 3 to 4 days and I remember shooting the Sandipani Ashram portions in Film City and the rain dance sequence at Chena creek. Back then, I did not realise that I was going to be a part of history. But I do remember seeing Mukesh ji (Khanna) and Nitish ji (Bharadwaj) on the set. They were in their prime then, and I was completely in awe of them," he said.</p>

<p>The Multiplex Association of India (MAI) has appealed to studio partners, producers, artistes and content creators to support the cinema exhibition sector by holding their films and releasing them in theatres once they're opened again.<br />
India is currently under the lockdown with around 1.3 billion people asked to stay home in view of the coronavirus outbreak.<br />
<br />
There were rumours that several films are looking at a direct-to-digital release amid the lockdown, including Akshay Kumar starrer 'Laxmmi Bomb'.<br />
<br />
In a statement, MAI requested producers to "respect the exclusive theatrical window."<br />
<br />
"MAI would like to urge all studio partners, producers, artistes and content creators to support the cinema exhibition sector, a vital part of the value chain, by holding and releasing their films in the theatres, once they open again.<br />
<br />
"To this end, we urge all studios, producers, artistes and other content creators, to kindly respect the exclusive theatrical window, which has been a time-tested industry practice, agreed to by all stake-holders, not just in India, but even globally, for several decades," the statement read.<br />
<br />
MAI said when the crisis ends, the combination of the "pent-up demand" and the promise of new movies would boost film business and contribute massively in reviving the industry.<br />
<br />
"The collective, social experience of watching films on the big screen needs to be preserved and it can be done so only with the collective support of all stakeholders."<br />
<br />
Established under the aegis of FICCI in 2002, the national multiplex trade body represents more than 18 regional and national multiplex chains, including PVR, INOX, Carnival and Cinepolis, and operates more than 2900 screens across the country.<br />
<br />
Calling the situation "truly unprecedented and unparalleled," the association said it is committed to working with government institutions and partners through the weeks and months to come to ensure that cinemas survive this "testing time and once again become the vibrant home of entertainment, culture and community that they always have been."<br />
<br />
"We are also thankful to the studios, directors, producers and everyone in the Indian film industry who have shown their faith in cinema exhibition by coming out and voicing their support, over the past week.<br />
<br />
"By supporting each other now, we will return stronger than ever when we are again able to welcome back the many crores of devoted film fans who miss the big screen every bit as much as we do."<br />
<br />
The association had previously appealed to landlords across the country to waive off rent and common area maintenance (CAM) for all the multiplex operators during the period of the current nation-wide lockdown.</p>

Multiplex Association urges actors, producers to hold films for theatrical release

<p>Tiger Shroff films are a genre in itself. Every year, films are made that enhance Tiger Shroff's talents- of flexing muscles, of dancing, of performing mind-numbing stunts. The stories may or may not have logic, but Tiger rises above the story and his character -to show off his skill set (that may not include acting) much to the delight of his fans. In his latest release 'Baaghi 3', Tiger takes on a country alone, with Riteish Deshmukh and Shraddha Kapoor as his cheerleaders.&nbsp;</p>

<p>If one has to use a single word to define 'Baaghi 3' it would have to be 'Extra'. Everything in the film- from the screenplay to dialogues, to the plot to the performances- goes overboard. The background score is jarring to the point of you going deaf and the story so mindless that you end up laughing out loud at it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Adapted from a Telugu hit'Vineya Vidhaya Rama' by producer Sajid Nadiadwala, 'Baaghi 3' &nbsp;is a love story of two brothers Vikram and Ronnie. Vikram (Riteish Deshmukh), the elder one, is weak and nincompoop who calls for younger brother Ronnie to rescue him from every situation that requires him to fight back. Let's just say Ronnie is his personal goon who protects him from all evils. Despite being a chicken, Vikram lands a job in the police force and whenever he is sent to nab criminals, Ronnie jumps in to rescue his brother and fight the goons. That seems to be Ronnie's chosen profession- to get into brawls for his brother. Best way to stay fit, I guess!</p>

<p>Vikram gets promoted and then sent to Syria to bust a nexus of human trafficking which involves a local goon IPL ( Jaideep Ahlawat) and get back his countrymen. He goes alone and obviously gets kidnapped by Abu Jalal's men. Abu Jalal runs a terror outfit in Syria and claims to rule the country. Now a man-child like Vikram should ideally not be left alone- but its a Tiger Shroff film and there's no logic to the story. As his brother goes missing, Ronnie along with Siya (Shraddha Kapoor) goes to Syria (city not specified) in search of Vikram. The rest of the film has Tiger Shroff flexing his muscles, running in slo-mo, screaming in exasperation and bashing up the bad guys- in that order.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Illogical plot line, poor acting and cringe-worthy dialogues make the film a tedious watch. Actors like Jaideep Ahlawat, Vijay Verma are wasted in a big-budget actioner which only concentrates on showing off Tiger Shroff's talent in martial arts. The writers' pit Tiger against an entire country! Yes, a country. At one point a sidekick comes running to Abu Jalal to inform that an unknown enemy has infiltrated one of their checkpoints. Abu Jalal wonders out loud- 'Who could it be? America? Russia? The Mossad?" and then the camera pans slowly to Tiger Shroff's straight face. Get it?&nbsp;</p>

<p>One wonders what came upon Riteish Deshmukh to have agreed to play such a character. You wait patiently to understand why his character is shown as vulnerable but no explanation is given.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There are two women in the film as well. Shraddha Kapoor and Ankita Lokhande. Kapoor's character is shown to be potty-mouthed who uses bizarre alliterations while abusing. In her opening shot, the camera first pans at her legs, then her waist and then top her face. This is 2020, and Bollywood still thinks to depict a woman as liberated - she has to be foul-mouthed, aggressive and glamorous. Lokhande, meanwhile, plays Deshmukh's wife and has a total of four scenes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jackie Shroff, Satish Kaushik also have cameo roles but leave no lasting impression.&nbsp;</p>

<p>'Baaghi 3' ultimately is the story of a brother taking on a country and terrorism, in general, all for the love of his brother. Moral of the story: familial love can wipe out terrorism from the world. If only our leaders had watched 'Baaghi 3'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the season of flu and epidemics, best to avoid movie theatres and 'Baaghi 3'.&nbsp;</p>
