Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani starrer ‘Satyaprem Ki Katha’ goes on floor

National Sports Day: 8 Bollywood actors who are avid sports person in real life

<p>Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani together enthralled the audience with their top-notch performance in 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' and now they are coming back again and this time with a new love saga.&nbsp;On Sunday, the makers announced the new title of the movie i.e 'Satyaprem Ki Katha'. Previously, the movie was titled 'Satyanarayan Ki Katha' but the makers decided to change the title of the movie in order to ''avoid hurting sentiments''.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-vikrant-rona-kaduva-and-pakka-commercial-ott-release-date-check-when-and-where-to-watch-online-502488" hreflang="en">'Vikrant Rona', 'Kaduva', and 'Pakka Commercial' OTT release date: Check when and where to watch online</a><br />
<br />
Last year, the makers released an official statement and wrote, '' A title of the film is something that emerges organically through the creative process. We have taken a decision to change the title of our recently announced film 'Satyanarayan ki Katha' to avoid hurting sentiments, even if that's purely unintentional. Producers of the film and the creative team also are in complete support of this decision. We will be announcing a new title for our love story in the due course of our journey. Sincerely, Sameer Vidwans (sic)."<br />
<br />
Along with the title, they also dropped the first look of Kiara ad Kartik from the film. Wishing Kiara her 30th birthday, Kartik wrote, “Happy Birthday Katha !! Tumhaara SatyaPrem. #SatyapremKiKatha. @kiaraaliaadvani.''</p>

Kartik Aaryan's appearance in 'Masaba Masaba' Season 2 is the best cameo of the year!

<p>A lot has been said in the public domain about Kartik Aaryan and Karan Johar's rift. The actor and the filmmaker reportedly have had a tiff followed by which Kartik was ousted from Karan's upcoming film 'Dostana 2.' However, the duo now seems to have buried the hatchet and it seems Ananya Panday may have had a part to play in it.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In the recent episode of 'Koffee With Karan 7', Ananya made the two speak over the phone, even though it was for a few seconds.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
During a segment on the show, Karan asked Vijay and Ananya to dial their celebrity friends and get them to say, "Hey Karan, it's me."Ananya called up Kartik and asked him to help her out. Putting her phone on speaker, Ananya said "Kartik, say `Hey Karan, it`s me` and tell him what you`re doing." At this moment, Karan Johar jumps in and said "He's again promoting Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 if I know right."&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Kartik in response said, "I`m at home, promoting 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.'" Later Karan thanked Kartik for participating in the game.<br />
<br />
The episode was presumably shot earlier this year - at a time when Kartik was promoting 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' which was released in May and went on to earn over Rs 200 crore at the box office.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Last month a video went viral on social media which showed both Karan and Kartik having a friendly chat during an award show.In the video, Karan and Kartik were seen seated next to each other at a roundtable. The two engaged in a conversation and shared a laugh before they walked on the stage to dance together.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
For unversed, Kartik and Karan reportedly had a falling out in 2021, while working together on 'Dostana 2.' Kartik was to star with Janhvi Kapoor in 'Dostana 2,' but the actor was dropped from the project. Karan Johar`s Production House `Dharma Productions` officially announced Kartik`s exit from the film. In their official statement posted on Instagram, the production house stated that "due to professional circumstances, on which we have decided to maintain dignified silence- we will be recasting 'Dostana 2,' directed by Collin D`Cunha. Please wait for the official announcement soon."<br />
<br />
On the work front, the `Dhamaka` actor will be seen in `Shehzada`. Kartik recently announced that he has signed a project with Sajid Nadiadwala`s production house which will be helmed by Kabir Khan. Though the details of the project have been kept under wraps, it is speculated to be a massive entertainer on a large-scale production based on true events. He will also be seen in `Freddy` opposite Alaya F. Produced by Ekta Kapoor, the film is touted to be a romantic thriller. He also has Hansal Mehta`s `Captain India` in his kitty. Bankrolled by Ronnie Screwvala and Harman Baweja, the film revolves around India`s most successful rescue operations from a war-torn country.<br />

Ananya appeared on the fourth episode of 'Koffee With Karan Season 7' along with her 'Liger' star Vijay Deverakonda.</p>

Ananya Panday connects Kartik Aaryan and Karan Johar over a call on 'Koffee With Karan'

<p>Actor Kartik Aaryan is currently the biggest star in Bollywood if one goes by the performance of his latest film 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2'. Aaryan has delivered the biggest opener of the year and the first blockbuster since the pandemic which has helped Bollywood in terms of business. Not just opening, the film has had a strong run at the box office too, crossing Rs 180 crores recently despite coming in the same year as many big banner films and also elbowing out various superstar-led films from the pre-pandemic era. The success of the film has truly catapulted and established Aaryan among the A-league of B-town.</p>

<p>Talking about the role of this superstar in the success of the film, critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh in an interview with a leading daily said, "'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' is a major success at the box office and one of the prime reasons, of course, is Kartik Aaryan. While a combination led to its success, whether it was the music, the fact that there was horror and comedy which is very well integrated into this film, the way the screenplay has been woven for those two and a half hours, it most importantly Kartik Aaryan’s presence and the way he’s performed in the film that played a winning factor, it was a complete surprise. First of all, to step into another actor’s shoes in this case Akshay Kumar who was an integral part of the first 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa', the comparisons were very obvious. But Kartik surprised everyone with his performance in this film. That’s what worked in his favour. Also, the fact that he enjoys a tremendous following not just amongst women but also among a family audience as well as the youth, that has helped the film take a fantastic opening. That factor contributed in a major way where his fan following worked and they wanted to watch him. It’s unbelievable to see BB2 doing tremendous business at the box office even after a month."</p>

<p>On Kartik's successful track record at the box office, trade expert Joginder Tuteja said, “It’s not just a splash in the pan. It’s not like Kartik Aaryan came and suddenly delivered a hit and is a saviour. He has been extremely consistent at the box office if you look at his films. With 'Love Aaj Kal 2' taking one of the biggest openings of its year, his film, 'Sonu Ki Titu Ke Sweety' crossed 100 crores and 'Luka Chuppi' and 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' were also superhits on the big screen. So out of his last 5 movies, he has delivered 4 big hits and that pretty much establishes that he’s a superstar. He is finding love amongst the family audiences also, amongst the youth, amongst the kids as well.”</p>

<p>Experts also comment how Kartik Aaryan is a self-made superstar. The actor entered the industry with a bag full of Bollywood dreams and no connections in the film industry and has always delivered hits mostly with newer and more debutant directors. Even 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' was actually Anees Bazmee’s first after a long sabbatical.</p>

<p>Adds Taran Adarsh, “Kartik Aaryan comes without the baggage of a godfather or a father who's a producer or a financier or someone who is connected to films, he is a self-made star and that’s what people like about this guy. He’s played his character in 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' completely to conviction and if you look at his career graph he’s played a different kinds of roles and delivered versatile performances over the years and most of his films have done very well at the box office. I think this is just the beginning and Kartik is going to taste bigger success in times to come.”</p>

<p>Adds Joginder Tuteja, “With 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' it is apparent that Kartik Aaryan has consolidated his position in the top league and with ‘Shehzada’ coming in now, I’m pretty positive that it’s going to be another big one! Kartik Aaryan will further reaffirm his superstardom.”</p>

With 'Love Aaj Kal 2' taking one of the biggest openings of its year, his film, 'Sonu Ki Titu Ke Sweety' crossed 100 crores and 'Luka Chuppi' and 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' were also superhits on the big screen. So out of his last 5 movies, he has delivered 4 big hits and that pretty much establishes that he’s a superstar. He is finding love amongst the family audiences also, amongst the youth, amongst the kids as well.” Experts also comment how Kartik Aaryan is a self-made superstar. The actor entered the industry with a bag full of Bollywood dreams and no connections in the film industry and has always delivered hits mostly with newer and more debutant directors. Even 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' was actually Anees Bazmee’s first after a long sabbatical. Adds Taran Adarsh, “Kartik Aaryan comes without the baggage of a godfather or a father who's a producer or a financier or someone who is connected to films, he is a self-made star and that’s what people like about this guy. He’s played his character in 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' completely to conviction and if you look at his career graph he’s played a different kinds of roles and delivered versatile performances over the years and most of his films have done very well at the box office. I think this is just the beginning and Kartik is going to taste bigger success in times to come.” Birthday special: The 5 films that prove Kartik Aaryan is here to stay Adds Joginder Tuteja, “With 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' it is apparent that Kartik Aaryan has consolidated his position in the top league and with ‘Shehzada’ coming in now, I’m pretty positive that it’s going to be another big one! Kartik Aaryan will further reaffirm his superstardom.”

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 going strong in theatres despite OTT release

<p>Kartik Aaryan walked out of Karan Johar’s ‘Dostana 2’ sparking speculation about&nbsp;a professional feud between the two celebrities. A viral video doing the rounds on the internet suggests that the alleged hostility seems to have ended. In the video, Karan and Kartik, who attended an award event recently, can be seen sitting at the same table next to each other and sharing some laughs and a good conversation. The filmmaker and the young star have been in the news ever since the recasting of ‘Dostana 2’ was announced by Dharma Productions in 2021. The video that surfaced online has left netizens guessing that the conflict between Karan and Kartik has been resolved.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The video shared by a fan on Twitter shows Karan Johar and Kartik Aaryan laughing and chatting as actor Varun Dhawan approaches them and pulls Kartik to the stage and makes him dance to the song ‘Nach Punjaabban’ from the film 'Jugjugg Jeeyo'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Varun, while fetching Kartik, takes a jibe, saying, "Kartik, come, you can dance to a Dharma film song."&nbsp;The ‘Pyaar Ka Punchanam’ actor joins the stage with Varun, Ranveer Singh, Anil Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, Parineeti Chopra, and Sidharth Malhotra and all of them match steps to Dharma Productions' upcoming film ‘Jugjugg Jeeyo's’ song, as&nbsp;Karan later joins them. As Varun approached Kartik, he and Karan were seen standing opposite each other laughing at Varun’s joke.&nbsp;</p>

Kartik Aaryan's 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' enters the Rs 100 crore club, earns over Rs 120 crores 

Dhaakad, Panchayat 2, RRR and more: Top weekend releases to watch on OTT/theatre

<p>When filmmaker Priyadarshan made 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' in 2007 many felt he was taking a big risk. After all, he was making a remake of a classic like 'Manichitrathazhu' which had won awards and was praised by critics and masses alike. The Hindi film though managed to pass with flying colours primarily because of its performances, its story and credible music. More than a decade later, its sequel 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' &nbsp;is truly a terrible mistake that director Anees Bazmee should not have committed.</p>

<p>Priyadarshan was the assistant director on 'Manichitrathazhu'&nbsp;which helped him in creating a similar premise in 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa' making it an engaging watch for even those who had seen the original before.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Bazmee's film's plot is convoluted from the word go and one keeps thinking that surely the characters cannot be written this obtusely and wait for a plot twist, but the film dumbs down through its 2 and a half-hour run time.</p>

What's the story you ask? Reet, a medical student, meets a rich brat Ruhaan in Manali. Reet is on her way back to her hometown in Rajasthan and Ruhaan, well, is 'professionally' a wanderlust- roaming states to taste the local specialities (yeah, he has much time and money in hand unlike most of the Indian population). The two board the same bus from Manali which is on its way to Chandigarh. During a pit stop, Ruhaan convinces Reet to attend a local music festival with him before she heads home to get married. They get off the bus which eventually meets with an accident and has no survivors.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Reet calls up home to inform their family that she is fine but due to a bad network, no one can hear her voice. Instead, she overhears that it is actually her cousin who is in love with her fiance and so Reet devises a plan, to pretend to play dead till everyone gets over the shock of her death and gets her cousin married. If you thought the plot is bizarre, there is more.&nbsp;</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P2KRKxAb2ek" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
Now Reet decides to hide in the family's old ancestral home which has been locked for decades as it is believed to be haunted by a ghost named Manjulika. She obviously convinces the aimless Ruhaan to be a part of this plan. Seeing the old haveli gates open and the building lit up, Reet's family comes calling only to find Ruhaan who convinces them that he can speak to dead people and it was Reet's final wish to get her cousin married. While the family is ok having Reet's spirit around, unexplained things keep happening in the haveli which they attribute to Manjulika- whose spirit has been locked in one corner of the house. Would Ruhaan and Reet be able to find a solution to spooky things happening in the house? And does Reet's family finally find out that she isn't actually dead forms the rest of this bizarre story.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Written by Akash Kaushik, the film's plot makes you scratch your head on more than one occasion. The film salvages to a certain extent due to Farhad Samji's dialogues which are topical and cleverly placed in the screenplay.<br />
Bazmee, known for making some of the most popular slapstick comedies in the past, treats 'Bhool Bhulaiyya 2' the same way, giving more weightage to obscurity, illogical plot and theatrics and steers away from giving a plausible ending that Priyadarshan's film had.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
It is unfair to compare Kartik Aaryan to Akshay Kumar, although the young star has often been compared to the superstar. We have seen Aaryan delivering great comedic performances - primarily because the films he was part of were well written. In 'Bhool Bhulaiyya 2', the burden of creating a sequel of a hit looms large throughout and Aaryan is hardly able to salvage a badly written character. The charisma that is required to play Ruhan is missing in the screenplay and so Aaryan is unable to rise above mediocrity.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Kiara Advani's character is perhaps the dumbest character written in Bollywood in recent times. She is supposed to be a doctor but her bizarre plan to get her sister married to the love of her life is so illogical that one wonders how writers perceive modern Indian women.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Tabu plays an important role in the film and divulging too much detail about her character would give out plot details (if you still wish to watch the film). The actress though delivers her part well-- in fact, hers is the only performance that stands firm in a crumbling film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Actors like Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra, and Ashwini Kalsekar are wasted in roles that are supposed to provide laughs but instead provide more cringe.&nbsp;</p>

I have to mention here how the makers fan a long misconstrued notion about Bengali women and their penchant for black magic. In recent years, especially after Sushant Singh Rajput's death, a lot has been said about Bengali women and their supposed love for black magic- which is absolute rubbish. It is, therefore utterly baffling to see a Bollywood filmmaker like Anees Bazmee- known for creating blockbusters- take that false narrative and create a film based on it. Surely it is shortsightedness on his part to not have known that a mass entertainer like 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' will just cement this notion about a community unnecessarily.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' is exasperating, to say the least. The film lacks the thrills that horror films are supposed to have, its comedy is sporadic, and it wastes credible actors in a poorly written show.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Maybe it's time to lock that door and let Majulika rest in peace once and for all.&nbsp;</p>

'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' review: Kartik Aaryan, Tabu's latest is a mistake of giant proportion

<p>The trailer of the upcoming horror comedy ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ was released on Tuesday and the loyal fans of the franchise have lapped it up. Like its predecessor, the film’s trailer presents an edgy mix of humour and comedy.<br />
<br />
The film, which stars Kartik Aaryan, Tabu and Kiara Advani, is a sequel to the hit 2007 film ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ which was filmed by the legendary filmmaker Priyadarshan. The Akshay Kumar starrer was itself a remake of the 1993 Malayalam film ‘Manichitrathazhu’ directed by Fazil. Interestingly, the current toast of Malyali cinema, Fahadh Faasil is the son of director Fazil.<br />
<br />
The trailer of the upcoming sequel starts off with the ‘Ami Je Tomar’ theme song, a super hit with tremendous recall value from its 2007 hit. A smart tribute to the first instalment follows introductions of the new key characters.&nbsp;<br />
Tabu has always delivered interesting films with ‘Andhadhun’ seeing her in a deliciously wicked role. It will be exciting to know what her character is in this cult horror comedy’s sequel.<br />
<br />
This time around too, the film derives its horror and humour from the legend of Manjulika, who has become stronger over time and is back to seek vengeance after being locked for over a decade.<br />
<br />

<br />
At the trailer launch event, Kartik Aaryan stated he didn't want to get into comparison with actor Akshay Kumar who played the lead in the first part of the film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"Because they're too big a shoe to fill. I loved him in 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa', I have grown up watching his films so it's better if one doesn't compare. We have tried to do our best here," Aaryan told reporters at the event.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Murad Khetani, and Krishan Kumar under the banners of T-Series and Cine 1 Studios.<br />

The film, written by Farhad Samji and Aakash Kaushik, is scheduled to be released on May 20.&nbsp;<br />

'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' trailer: Kartik Aaryan, Tabu, Kiara Advani amp up horror and humour

<p>Kiara Advani is no longer the sweet, demure girl she usually plays in her films but something sinister in her upcoming film ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’. Makers teased the motion poster of the film today starring Kiara Advani as they drop her first look from the horror film.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With wide eyes open, Kiara’s face zooms out to a scary, devil looking hand creeping out from behind. The poster is captioned: "Meet Reet. Don't be fooled. She's not so sweet."&nbsp;</p>

Kartik Aaryan's 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' averts clash with 'RRR' with this new release date

<p>After a successful OTT debut with 'Dhamaka' where he surprised his fans in an entirely new genre, Kartik Aaryan is all set to take on versatile roles with a mixed bag of films in 2022. The last year ended on a great note for the actor who gave his career’s best performance in the gritty drama 'Dhamaka', with praise pouring in from all quarters.</p>

<p>With a superhit track record, 5 of the most anticipated films are riding on the actor in 2022 including 'Freddy' with Shashanka Ghosh, a romantic thriller packed with twists and turns at every corner, Hansal Mehta’s 'Captain India', where he steps into the shoes of a pilot, 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' an iconic horror comedy franchise, 'Shehzada' with Rohit Dhawan, where he plays the world’s poorest prince and Sajid Nadiadwala's untitled next, to be directed by the National award winning filmmaker Sameer Vidwans!</p>

<p>Says Kartik , “I feel incredibly blessed. The last year was a major turning point in my career. I’m raring to go in 2022 and take on some exciting roles, all of which are radically different from one another. My goal is to keep learning, keep growing, keep pushing and I hope to have the support of my fans every step of the way.”</p>

<p>&nbsp;Kartik is a big-screen star. Would he have preferred 'Dhamaka' in cinemas?</p>

<p>Replies the actor, “'Dhamaka' was filmed amidst the pandemic when shooting regulations were very strict and we managed to do it in a record-breaking time in mere 10 days. So when the team came on board our main purpose was to make a thrilling film which centres around a TV reporter amidst the tension in the city. Thankfully in the past one year, OTT has become a huge medium for content and hence when the film was ready we were relieved that we have a medium where now everyone can enjoy a film in safe premises. The makers took a digital route for this one and clearly there are no regrets.”</p>

<p>Kartik admits to feeling &nbsp;gratified &nbsp;by the response on OTT to 'Dhamaka'. &nbsp;“I receive messages at 4 am and so about people praising the film and my performances, people mention me on social media at wee hours as they have just finished watching a film. So the audiences praising you and your performance round the clock is an experience never felt before.”</p>

<p>But that collective &nbsp;thrill of &nbsp;an audience huddled in &nbsp;a theatre was missing? Did Kartik miss that ? “No, 'Dhamaka' would have received similar appreciation in theatres because the screen size can change but audiences don’t change and what they like in big screen they like it on their phones and TV screens too. Hence it will never be OTT or theatres… it’s OTT and theatres. There is a new medium and it doesn’t replace anything else hence both will co-exist and both will entertain audiences simultaneously.”</p>

<p>Interestingly, despite being an industry outsider with no film connections, Kartik has become a household name today owing to his dedication to hard work and his golden run at the box-office has made him a powerhouse performer to reckon with.</p>

Kartik Aaryan looks ahead, speaks on his OTT debut

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidfuwHAOaFfiHM" /><meta charset="utf-8" />The year threw forward some surprises as far as the actors were concerned. As Sushmita Sen told me, she unlearned all the overt acting skills to just “be” in front of the camera for 'Aarya'. Are our actors finally learning to just be themselves? Looks like it. Here are the actors who shone on the digital platform.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>1. Kartik Aaryan in 'Dhamaka': </strong>Kartik Aaryan’s powerful performance holds the film together. His journey from a self-serving scumbag to a conscientious newshound is convincingly achieved by the young actor. This is his best performance to date and one that puts him ahead of all competition. I see Kartik winning all the best-actor awards this year. So far the digital platform has not been very kind to the Bollywood A-listers. Akshay Kumar floundered with' Laxmii', Varun and papa David Dhawan delivered the worst film of their career in 'Coolie No 1'. Salman Khan’s 'Radhe' was arguably the worst film of the superstar’s career. As for Anil Kapoor’s 'AK Versus AK', the less said the better. What is the “IT” factor that goes missing when Bollywood A-listers translocate their films from the big to the small screen? That lacuna in the genre will be filled by 'Dhamaka.'Director Ram Madhavani already had us gripped with the series 'Aarya' and that superb hijack drama 'Neerja'. He knows how to keep us on tenterhooks. While Kartik Aaryan will be the first Bollywood A-lister to break the barrier between Bollywood and the OTT, there are several A-listers like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor who have so far stayed away from the OTT platform. It is time for Bollywood’s superstars to get down from their high horses and adapt to the new home medium of entertainment. Don't give us arrogant self-centred I-me-myself films like 'Sadak 2' and 'Kali Peeli' on the OTT.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>2. Jayasurya in 'Sunny': </strong>Jayasurya’s spectacular performance holds this one-man show together. He is so inured in the character’s dark desperate suicidal world(at one point, Sunny puts a piece of broken glass to his wrist, at another point he is about to jump off from the balcony of his fourth-floor hotel suite) that we become unconditionally invested in his desolation for a little more than 90 minutes. Not that Sunny is likeable or even remotely heroic. But his anguish is a throbbing entity, impossible to ignore. I’ve seen many actors do a one-man show: Sunil Dutt in 'Yaadein', Rajkummar Rao in 'Trapped' Tom Hanks in 'Castaway'. None of these actors has been able to capture the essence of isolation as effectively as Jayasurya. He takes us into Sunny’s wretched life—a broken marriage, a broken extra-marital affair, a lost job, debts owed to nasty people, a dead child—not in a ritualistic relay race of imposed drama created to build a sense of sympathy around the quarantined hero. As for Jayasurya, is he a better actor than his Malayali peer Fahadh Faasil? When Sunny finally breaks down at the end(out of relief, not despair) I was sobbing with him. This is not a performance. This is an embodiment of life’s essential truth where the adage ‘This Too Shall Pass’ acquires an entirely novel relevance.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>3. Pawan Malhotra In 'Tabbar':</strong> Set in the curiously vivacious bustle of Jalandhar it has the extraordinary Pawan Malhotra as Omkar a petty entrepreneur and patriarch with a wife and two sons. One night, their lives go wrong and thus begins a distressing horrific downward spiral that can only go one way. Malhotra’s character makes it to the grade of a gender-reversed Mother India. Pawan Malhotra and Supriya Pathak bring nuances to their stereotypical roles(strong obdurate father, frail devoted mother) that are hard to pinpoint.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>4. Kriti Sanon in 'Mimi':</strong> Kriti Sanon, in a role written to make her shine, plays an ambitious Rajasthani dancer who wants to be a Bollywood star, and has Ranveer Singh’s poster in her room. She also has Deepika and Kareena’s pictures on the wall just to remind herself that once she gets to Bollywood those divas are done with. The film has some interesting ideas on parenthood and the woman’s right to her womb. But the treatment gets progressively guillotined by excessive melodrama. However, Kriti’s feisty performance holds interest till the end.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>5. Mita Vashisht In 'Your Honor 2': </strong>That’s what two brilliant actors can do to you. Every time Jimmy Sheirgill and Mita Vashisht are on screen together, you want to see just where their conversation is going. The words they speak seductively encircle their cat-and-mouse game in this energetic engrossing and altogether gripping tale of empowerment privilege and their misuse. Vashisht’s sly cop act furnishes a vinegary flavour to her conversations with the Judge in the dock. Vashisht plays the cop as a mixture of attentive and disdainful. I just couldn’t take my eyes off her stolen steely scornful glances at the guilty-as-sin Judge. The brilliant Mita Vashisht enters the plot in Episode 3 in Season 2. Once she does, the plot gathers some momentum.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>6. Vijay Sethupathi in 'Nava Rasa'(Netflix): </strong>They say 'save the last for the best. But in this eclectic uneven omnibus of nine stories based on the nine basic human emotions, the best is the first story, Edhir, based on the emotion of pity (Karuna). It features two powerhouse performances by Vijay Sethupathi and Revathy as the murderer and his victim’s wife respectively. Their confrontation is so beautifully mapped that the entire film seems to have been plotted by director Bejoy Nambiar just to bring these two fabulous actors together. But no. There is more here. Edhir addresses itself to the question of the conscience and the power/ambiguity of forgiveness with such stupendous serenity -- it is a joy to behold the art of Bejoy. Sethupathi is a force of nature. With one twitch of his eyebrow, he can convey an ocean of conflicting emotions.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>7. Fahadh Fasil in 'Jijo':</strong> In film after film, Fahadh proves himself a fearless peerless seamless actor who merges into his characters like water in a stream. And better still flows down that stream where the human condition merges with the very bedrock of existence. And look at where Fahadh has arrived in Joji! Shakespeare’s Macbeth gets the treatment which I am sure would make Shakespeare himself envious Joji is of course played by the great Fahad Faasil who brings to the character a kind of patriarchal bitterness that manifests itself in a not-expected burst of devastating violence. This is director Dileesh Pothan’s third directorial with Fahadh(after Maheshinte Prathikaaram and Thondimuthalum Driksakshiyum) and by far the most reflective, moody, sinister, subtle and sublime. Though Macbeth is an inherently violent tale of patricide and Oedipal guilt, Pothan’s film does away with the vileness of the protagonist’s deeds by introducing a kind of dithering juvenilia into Jijo’s character. His chosen weapon of violence is an airgun and his selected hideaway is a half-dug well. Fahadh’s Jijo is an unlikely villain and hence all the more devastating. He is also an unlikely Shakespearean hero who has in all probability never heard of Shakespeare.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>8. Huma Qureshi In 'Maharani':</strong> Huma Qureshi’s transformation from Leila in Deepa Mehta’s 'Leila' searching for her lost daughter, to Rani the politician’s wife who searches for her own identity, is admirable. Here Huma creates a woman who is at once street-wise and parliament-foolish but possesses the moral wherewithal to tell right from wrong. The way she stands up against her husband in the dismissal of Prem Kumar, the Minister in-charge of the fodder resources, would get taalis in the movie theatre. If only wishes were horses, then Rabri Devi would be Margaret Thatcher. ‘Fodder’ record, the real Lalu Yadav was convicted in the 950 crore scam. In this thrill-stamped cleaned-out sweeping drama, all the guilt is shifted to the Minister while Rani Bharati runs an expose that transforms her into a neo-Joan Of Arc, a woman who cares deeply for the truth. Alas, we can’t say the same for the makers of this series who have spun a fabulously fake drama, transforming a rubberstamp wife to a self-willed righteous crusader-political. The dishonesty doesn’t make Maharani any less interesting. Ms Qureshi makes sure she elevates her character into some kind of a feminist firebrand without rendering Rani unbelievably noble. The woman in Rani Bharati surfaces in her scenes with her convalescing husband.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>9. Siddharth Malhotra In 'Shershaah': </strong>Sidharth Malhotra plays real-life soldier Vikram Batra with sincerity and honesty that shine through in every frame. In every frame, he is Rajesh Khanna in Anand and Aradhana. You know he is going to be missed sorely once he’s gone. Malhotra plays Batra as unforgettable. Boyish, helpful, sincere and endearing. There is not a duplicitous bone in this soldier and lover-boy. The film allows the protagonist to fly freely.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>10. Ahana Kumra in 'Call My Agent':</strong> Aahana Kumra, the fearless feisty firefighter of an actress doesn’t mind looking ridiculous if the need arises. Aahana plays Amaal, a kamaal ki lesbian with temper tantrums problems who more than meets her match in Jasleen(Anuschka Sawhney), a tax assessor with has the hots for Amaal. Their romance plays out like a rippling riff in a buxom musical refrain that is warm intimate relatable and sometimes sad.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>11. Taapsee Pannu in 'Haseen Dillruba':</strong> Taapsee delivers yet another titillating tongue—and-taang-in-cheek performance, rendering Rani a slut hard to slot. It’s interesting to see how an avant-garde writer like Kanika Dhillon is pushing the Hindi Film Heroine over the edge. She can now crave for things like non-vegetarian food and satisfactory sex without being slut-shamed. It’s okay to be a slut now. Rani Tripathi, nee Kashyap, is the kind of hormonal heroine who gives the smalltown slut a bad name.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>12. Vicky Kaushal in 'Sardar Udham':</strong>&nbsp;Kaushal can tell his children he got married to their mother during the same year that he gave his career’s best performance. Vicky Kaushal’s Udham Singh is a performance laced with grace, tinged with bitterness and defined by a dormant rage. When Kaushal says something as innocently pacifying as “Mere bahot saare British friends hain” he sounds as fringe-friendly as those fake liberals who say, “I’ve nothing against the gay community. In fact, some of my best friends are gay.”</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>13. Arya in 'Sarpatta Parambarai':&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;In the author-backed role of Kabilan, Arya is a revelation. I’ve seen his earlier works. Nothing he has done in the past can ever equal the power and glory of the self-destructive streak and the redemptive strength that pull his character out of his self-made abyss into a tentative light at the end when in the final fight in the ring, he defeats his main adversary. Wife and mother who hate his boxing ambitions are there to cheer him on.The power of cinema is to sway and derail negative emotions. One of the many unadulterated pleasures of watching Sarpatta Parambarai is to see Kabilan’s absolutely endearing relationship with his wife. If the husband-wife relationship rings true, the guru-shishya tradition is here taken into a zone of insulated adoration where the protégé hero-worships his guru blindly. Arya manifests all the roles and emotions of his character with majestic authenticity and an empowering rawness. He is childlike in his stubbornness and a true hero in his selfless quest for victory in the boxing ring.</p>


The year threw forward some surprises as far as the actors were concerned. As Sushmita Sen told me, she unlearned all the overt acting skills to just “be” in front of the camera for 'Aarya'.

The year threw forward some surprises as far as the actors were concerned. As Sushmita Sen told me, she unlearned all the overt acting skills to just “be” in front of the camera for 'Aarya'. Are our actors finally learning to just be themselves? Looks like it. Here are the actors who shone on the digital platform. 1. Kartik Aaryan in 'Dhamaka': Kartik Aaryan’s powerful performance holds the film together. His journey from a self-serving scumbag to a conscientious newshound is convincingly achieved by the young actor. This is his best performance to date and one that puts him ahead of all competition. I see Kartik winning all the best-actor awards this year. So far the digital platform has not been very kind to the Bollywood A-listers. Akshay Kumar floundered with' Laxmii', Varun and papa David Dhawan delivered the worst film of their career in 'Coolie No 1'. Salman Khan’s 'Radhe' was arguably the worst film of the superstar’s career. As for Anil Kapoor’s 'AK Versus AK', the less said the better. What is the “IT” factor that goes missing when Bollywood A-listers translocate their films from the big to the small screen? That lacuna in the genre will be filled by 'Dhamaka.'Director Ram Madhavani already had us gripped with the series 'Aarya' and that superb hijack drama 'Neerja'. He knows how to keep us on tenterhooks. While Kartik Aaryan will be the first Bollywood A-lister to break the barrier between Bollywood and the OTT, there are several A-listers like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor who have so far stayed away from the OTT platform. It is time for Bollywood’s superstars to get down from their high horses and adapt to the new home medium of entertainment. Don't give us arrogant self-centred I-me-myself films like 'Sadak 2' and 'Kali Peeli' on the OTT. 2. Jayasurya in 'Sunny': Jayasurya’s spectacular performance holds this one-man show together.

Not that Sunny is likeable or even remotely heroic. But his anguish is a throbbing entity, impossible to ignore. I’ve seen many actors do a one-man show: Sunil Dutt in 'Yaadein', Rajkummar Rao in 'Trapped' Tom Hanks in 'Castaway'. None of these actors has been able to capture the essence of isolation as effectively as Jayasurya. He takes us into Sunny’s wretched life—a broken marriage, a broken extra-marital affair, a lost job, debts owed to nasty people, a dead child—not in a ritualistic relay race of imposed drama created to build a sense of sympathy around the quarantined hero.

In what can be considered a creative entrepreneurial move the young star-actor has gone and signed three new films which carry him completely away from the frothy lighthearted super-success of 'Lukka Chuppi' &nbsp;and 'Pati Patni Air Woh'.In &nbsp;Hansal Mehta’s 'Captain India'(being produced by Ronnie &nbsp;Screwvala) Kartik will be playing his first real-life character. Next up, in Ekta Kapoor’s 'Freddie' Kartik gets grim goofy and eccentric in a role never attempted before. And then comes 'Satyanarayan Ki Katha' an unusual never-before love story for which producer Sajid Nadiadwala wanted none but Kartik. &nbsp;Nadiadwala told me he couldn’t see anyone else in the role. But before these &nbsp;3 films hit the screen in 2022-23, there is 'Dhamaka', Ram Madhvani’s adaptation of a Korean thriller where again the actor drops the grin in favour of the grim. What makes &nbsp;Kartik tick?</p>

<p><strong>This birthday brings joyful tidings for you. 'Dhamaka' has been well received. Were you expecting it to be so well received?</strong></p>

<p>I already feel that I have celebrated my birthday in advance and thanks to the response to Dhamaka. The amount of love, warmth and praises I have received for my movie that the birthday-wali-feeling and love-filled wishes have already done its work in advance. 'Dhamaka' was new territory for me, a thriller genre I have never done before. Thanks to the masses, I feel like I’ve passed with flying colours. I’ve always said that I am a fan-made star and their validation and praise gives me the confidence to pick more such roles filled with surprises.</p>

<p><strong>What are your birthday plans? What are your earliest birthday memories?</strong></p>

<p>This year my birthday is going to be Dhamaka-filled. I will be celebrating it not only with my family but also with my fans. I have some surprises for my birthday planned and the celebration is going to be great. Talking about my birthdays in my childhood, they were filled with joy, home-cooked delicacies and cakes. Every birthday is special when one has his family around and I'm lucky that today my family is with me.</p>

<p><strong>Kartik you started with a hit 'Pyaar Ka Punchnama'. How do you see your journey so far?</strong></p>

<p>It has surely been a roller coaster ride for me in the industry. But when I look back there is only one word with which &nbsp; I can express my journey and that is, Gratitude! I had come from Gwalior with no connections at all, travelled in local trains, changed at railway stations, &nbsp;shared a &nbsp;room with 12 other people, faced rejection at auditions day in and day out. But one thing that stayed with me was hope. I was determined that hard work is the ultimate virtue that pays off. Today I have worked with some of the most talented directors and big banners and when looking back there is only one word I can say – Gratitude. And it's not just today, but ever since I started in my first film, there has been gratitude from the bottom of my heart. Right from the directors who pick me for their beautiful roles to the audiences who give love to these reel characters… gratitude is all that I had.</p>

<p><strong>You share terrific vibes with fans. Do you like reaching out to them? Doesn't the attention get too much at times?</strong></p>

<p>To be honest, I love the attention. The attention my fans give me has become my basic essentials. As an actor we all work for the masses and audiences’ love and that they accept us as their own. I am lucky that my fans have loved me and always hailed my work. Hence this attention is what I call pure love and how can one ever complain about receiving too much love. I call it ‘Fanception’. I love being amidst my fans, whether it's after a late-night shoot or when I am returning home post-gym, the sudden burst of love I receive and their small gestures touches my heart and makes me the happiest. I truly missed them during the pandemic but thanks to social media I was constantly in touch with them.</p>

<p><strong>Today you are one of the A-listers in Bollywood. How difficult was it for you to make your presence as an outsider?</strong></p>

<p>It was not easy for me to reach this stage. Today a filmmaker and a producer trust me and overall the masses hold certain expectations from my film. And if that’s how you measure one being an A-lister, then I am glad I am here. As an outsider, I had to be cautious with every film I picked and how I make every role relatable and loved by the masses. These two steps were important for me to make my presence felt and I worked really hard for it. I remember even after having two hits with 'Punchnama' series, I had to audition even post that. People knew me as the ‘<em>monologue wala ladka</em>’ and there was still a gap I had to fill to become a household name. So I gave my hundred per cent to every film but it was Sonu (Sonu Ki Titu Ki Sweety – 2018) that changed the game for me. But with that success, I doubled my hard work and made sure I put in 200% with every film. Today people know me by my name and that makes me feel good but as I said as the journey continues, so does the hard work. I want to be number one!</p>

<p><strong>Tell me about your early days. Were you always a movie fan? Did your parents approve of your career choice?</strong></p>

<p>My parents didn’t know I was coming to Mumbai with my secret intention of becoming an actor, they thought I was in the city just to become an engineer. So initially I stayed in Navi Mumbai near my college but made sure I go for any and every audition in Mumbai and travelled in local trains. Changed on railway stations and travelled long hours and balanced between these auditions and studies. When my parents came to know about me becoming an actor they were clear that the studies has to be completed. I loved the movies since childhood and it is this love for the movies as an audience that helps me to pick the right script.</p>

<p><strong>Finally, as a major star do you think you have a social responsibility. How do you think you can help to improve the world around you?</strong></p>

<p>As an actor, yes, &nbsp;it is important to spread the right information and create awareness about certain things. Today a lot of people look up to me and hence there is an accompanying social responsibility that comes on your shoulders along with it. Last year during the early stages of the pandemic, there was a lot of confusion about the pandemic and several myths about COVID 19. Knowing my social media presence I made sure I used the digital medium to spread the right word and even erase off the myths. My show Koki Poochega was my small initiative to bring a change and improve the condition by changing mindsets.</p>

<p><strong>&nbsp;What are your plans for the coming year?</strong></p>

<p>Dhamaka was my first attempt to bring a change but there will be more <em>dhamakas</em> in the coming months as I have attempted a few more different characters. It can be said that it's Kartik 2.0. A &nbsp;lot of my films are coming up. And it will be worth the wait. I have Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 which is my first ever horror-comedy and we have shot the film pre, amidst and post COVID times. There is Freddy where I have something exciting to show and I can’t reveal much but be ready for surprises. Shehzada, Captain India and my musical love story with Sameer Vidwans are some other projects in the pipeline and each one is different from the other and I can’t wait to share it with the audiences. Yes, it’s a &nbsp;wonderful birthday, a wonderful life. Thank you, God.</p>

Outsider to superstar: Kartik Aaryan on stardom, Bollywood and 'Dhamaka'

<p>After a spectacular start, Kartik Aaryan’s career dipped when films like Subhash Ghai’s 'Kaanchi' and Ashwin Chowdhary 'Guest &nbsp;In London' proved cold turkeys. But thereafter Kartik saw only success and nothing can keep him down.<br />
<br />
Here are the 5 finest from Kartik.</p>

<p><img alt="1" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="bd55991f-b745-40ed-93f2-afe9ae47ad0e" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/5_15.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>1. Pyaar Ka Punchnama (2011): </strong>&nbsp;Playing Rajat, a.k.a Rajjo, Kartik&nbsp;stole the show from his co-stars Divyendu Sharma and &nbsp;Raayo S. Bakhirta who unfortunately got left far behind as &nbsp;Kartik’s Rajjo caught the nation’s attention. It was a performance that youngsters connected with, of a &nbsp;guy totally dominated by his girlfriend to the point of asphyxiation. The role and the character and his relationship with his girlfriend reminded me of a certain actor who is no more with us, and whose live-in similarly smothered him.</p>

<p><img alt="4" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="53c72015-7f22-494a-811f-67e6a621f011" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/happy%2030th%20birthday%20%2818%29.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>2. Akaash Vaani(2013): </strong>In one of the film’s high dramatic moments shot on a small deserted railway station in the night, the film’s protagonists, Kartik and &nbsp;Nushrat Bharucha, now estranged by an unfortunate series of circumstances, sit on the bench and...well, they sob. Yes, they simply cry their hearts out. First, the girl. Then in a melancholic celebration of the me-too syndrome, the boy, now alas no longer a boy(and he smokes to prove it) also breaks into little sobs that build up into a wail as the shehnai, indicative of a cruel marital joke, plays in the background. Though the film belongs to the female protagonist, Kartik Aaryan manages to hold his own with an sensitive empathetic performance far removed from what he attempted in the director’s Pyaar Ka Punchnaama. Someone should cast him as a&nbsp; modern-day Devdas.</p>

<p><img alt="3" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="621d4294-31a3-430d-9200-209fe3aecde8" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/3_65.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>3. &nbsp;Pyaar Ka Punchnaama 2 (2015):</strong> Luv Ranjan’s follow-up to his 2011 sleeper hit again succeeded without the props. Ranjan used relatively new but talented actors to address that age-old question: what do women want? Surprisingly even women loved this seemingly misogynist film with no Khans in the lead. The script and Kartik Aaryan were clearly the rock stars of the show. Kartik Aaryan's 'penis monologue'(as opposed to Eve Ensler's Vagina Monologues) comes on full-throttle. By the time he bursts into his phallic harangue we are so bloody hooked to the very familiar very mortifying and yet very comforting love life of our three protagonists that we are positively rooting for the underdogs. A big&nbsp;applause for the male victims of gender inequality. I came away with a huge chuckle and a deep sigh from the film, and with images of Kartik Aaryan's 'love dance' with his deceiving girlfriend and her two sahelis. As Aaryan twirled and pirouetted with the ladies he seemed to be tokenizing the Great Modern Urban Tragedy.</p>

<p><img alt="5" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="46777b0f-0331-41aa-aff0-a821563ce755" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/1_93.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>4. Luka &nbsp;Chuppi(2019): </strong>Kartik’s &nbsp;Guddu Shukla trying desperately to hide his live-in relationship with his girlfriend, was a laugh riot. Displaying a &nbsp;comic talent far ahead of all the other contemporary actors Kartik stole the show, low lock stock and barrel. Kartik’s Guddu was endearingly guileless and eager to score. There are no kisses between Kartik Aryan and Kriti Sanon in this film. And yet they communicate a warm easygoing alliance that comes not from singing songs together but from recognizing your life partner for what she is. Most of the humour is generated organically and without making strenuous efforts to induce humour into social statements. Make no mistake about it. Luka Chuppi is a comedy with an underlying layer of dark satire and a social statement on moral policing and communal biases in small towns.</p>

<p><img alt="6" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4316df99-4e1a-49c4-ab28-87d56d1b682a" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/2_85.jpg" /></p>

<p><strong>5. &nbsp;Silvat(2018):</strong> If you haven’t seen this 2018 &nbsp;digital film which you can easily locate on &nbsp;Zee5, you haven’t seen what Kartik Aaryan is capable of. We can safely say it is a tailormade role for the young actor.&nbsp;Playing a Muslim darzi in the crowded gully of what looks like Mumbai’s &nbsp;Haji Ali locality, Kartik is every bit Anwar, &nbsp;the shy sensitive tailor who develops a secret passion for his favourite client: a &nbsp;lonely abandoned wife &nbsp;Noor(Meher Mistry) whose husband has migrated to &nbsp;Riyadh for a job with nary a glance back for the woman he has left behind. The focus of the passionate plot, pulsating with unspoken ardour, is Noor. But it’s Kartik’s Anwar who silently steals the show. There is no exhibition of outward passion here. And yet so much is said through Anwar’s eyes. Every stolen glance is laden with longing. When she asks if he would like a cup of tea, Anwar knows it’s just a &nbsp;ruse to make him stay longer than his job allows. His reply to the kind offer, ‘Maine &nbsp;kabhi &nbsp;chai ke liya naa bola hai?’ says everything without saying anything. This is Kartik’s only film with a female director. &nbsp;It is evident that he blossoms as an actor under the female gaze.</p>

Birthday special: The 5 films that prove Kartik Aaryan is here to stay

<p>Filmmaker Ram Madhvani who has made 'Let's talk', 'Neerja' and 'Aarya' in the past - is a master storyteller who has presented gripping thrillers over the years. His latest 'Dhamaka' featuring Kartik Aaryan is part of the same genre where an ex-TV anchor lands a big story that can help redeem his career. Does 'Dhamaka' create the same effect as Madhavani's earlier films? Only in parts.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Arjun Pathak(Aaryan), an ex-star anchor of a popular news channel, lands his biggest story one Sunday as he is hosting a radio show. A mysterious man hacks into his company's network and refuses to go off air and blows up a part of the Mumbai sea link. Pathak, who doesn't take the caller seriously first, watches the carnage from the office window and realises this is his big-ticket back to the newsroom.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Pathak has been somewhat demoted from the network and sent to radio and he thinks this is a big chance to shine again and get back into the limelight. What he and his TRP hungry boss (Amruta Subhash) do not know yet is that chaos is set to unfold- of which no one can any control. The caller claims to be a labourer and wants the Home minister of the state to come live on TV and apologise for not paying compensation to three labourers who died years back during an accident while working on the same sea link.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Written by Puneet Sharma and Madhvani, the premise of 'Dhamaka' is very promising. So when the makers dive into the plot right from the beginning, you are prepared for an edgy, nail-biting thriller. Unfortunately, though, the film takes an idealist route along the way, degrades the media and its ethics of selling news and eventually creates a chaotic screenplay with a rather illogical climax.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Madhvani had narrated a brilliant story in 'Neerja' where a tight screenplay never let the audience get bored even though the entire story was narrated within the confinements of an aircraft. In 'Dhamaka' too, the space is limited with the focus entirely on Aaryan negotiating with the caller from the confines of a makeshift newsroom. But 'Dhamaka's' screenplay fails to grip you at any point in time. The urgency, the tension, the terror is all missing from the screenplay.&nbsp;<br />
Certain aspects of the film though stand out for their relevancy. 'Dhamaka' tries to throw light on the functions of 24/7 news channels in the country where TRP rules over logic and truth on many occasions. The anchor harps on-air about speaking the truth always, while behind the scene is instructed by his shrewd boss to keep the desperate, angry caller engaged with lies.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
It is refreshing to see Kartik Aaryan in a thriller- playing a character who is desperate, selfish and eventually full of remorse and regret. In the course of the film, as he finds out his estranged wife- a reporter with the same channel is at the blast site, something changes within him. The blood, gore, and death shake him up, questioning his company's ethics even as the caller continues to threaten to blow up the city- bit by bit.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Subhash as the ruthless editor of the channel starts on a high and exudes confidence, but poor writing makes her look caricatural by the end. Mrunal Thakur, who plays Aaryan's wife and star reporter has very limited screen time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Any thriller's high point is always the climax, but 'Dhamaka's' pinnacle comes way before the climax. The film eventually ends on a whimper, making no sense by the end of it all.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'Dhamaka' is streaming on Netflix.&nbsp;</p>

Pathak has been somewhat demoted from the network and sent to radio and he thinks this is a big chance to shine again and get back into the limelight. What he and his TRP hungry boss (Amruta Subhash) do not know yet is that chaos is set to unfold- of which no one can any control. The caller claims to be a labourer and wants the Home minister of the state to come live on TV and apologise for not paying compensation to three labourers who died years back during an accident while working on the same sea link. Written by Puneet Sharma and Madhvani, the premise of 'Dhamaka' is very promising. So when the makers dive into the plot right from the beginning, you are prepared for an edgy, nail-biting thriller. Unfortunately, though, the film takes an idealist route along the way, degrades the media and its ethics of selling news and eventually creates a chaotic screenplay with a rather illogical climax. Madhvani had narrated a brilliant story in 'Neerja' where a tight screenplay never let the audience get bored even though the entire story was narrated within the confinements of an aircraft. In 'Dhamaka' too, the space is limited with the focus entirely on Aaryan negotiating with the caller from the confines of a makeshift newsroom. But 'Dhamaka's' screenplay fails to grip you at any point in time. The urgency, the tension, the terror is all missing from the screenplay. Certain aspects of the film though stand out for their relevancy. 'Dhamaka' tries to throw light on the functions of 24/7 news channels in the country where TRP rules over logic and truth on many occasions. The anchor harps on-air about speaking the truth always, while behind the scene is instructed by his shrewd boss to keep the desperate, angry caller engaged with lies. It is refreshing to see Kartik Aaryan in a thriller- playing a character who is desperate, selfish and eventually full of remorse and regret. In the course of the film, as he finds out his estranged wife- a reporter with the same channel is at the blast site, something changes within him. The blood, gore, and death shake him up, questioning his company's ethics even as the caller continues to threaten to blow up the city- bit by bit. Subhash as the ruthless editor of the channel starts on a high and exudes confidence, but poor writing makes her look caricatural by the end. Mrunal Thakur, who plays Aaryan's wife and star reporter has very limited screen time. Any thriller's high point is always the climax, but 'Dhamaka's' pinnacle comes way before the climax. The film eventually ends on a whimper, making no sense by the end of it all. 'Dhamaka' is streaming on Netflix.

'Dhamaka' review: Kartik Aaryan features in a chaotic film that lacks the thrill

<p>The nation and its favourite armchair critic gets ready for the release of the new Kartik Aaryan starrer 'Dhamaka'&nbsp; which starts streaming on November 19 on Netflix. The film is important for &nbsp;Kartik as he reinvents himself as a serious dramatic actor. It is also important for director Ram Madhvani who has scored two back-to-back successes with 'Neerja' and 'Aarya' and is looking for a hat trick.<br />
<br />
Subhash &nbsp;K Jha gives you 5 reasons why 'Dhamaka'&nbsp;is expected to create a dhamaka.</p>

<p>1) 'Dhamaka' is a game-changer for cinema on the relationship between the media and the common people. No other film in India in recent times has shown how blatantly the electronic media sells itself for TRPs at the cost of life, values and humanity. The mayhem that TRP-centric journalism causes at the end of Dhamaka will shake you in the way Guru Dutt did when he sang '<em>Yeh duniya agar mil bhi jaaye toh kya hai'</em> in 'Pyasa'.</p>

<p>2) Dhamaka is a game-changer for &nbsp;Kartik Aaryan. After featuring in a succession of lightweight comedies, he is in&nbsp;full dramatic form here, &nbsp;giving to the role of the social-climbing journalist a kind of moral heft that instantly places him above the competition. Watch him in key sequences. While negotiating with the terrorist who threatens to blow up the Sea Link in Mumbai, Kartik’s Arjun Pathak actually changes in front of our eyes. It’s a performance that the actor Ha Jung-woo from the original Korean Film 'The Terror Live' would happily acknowledge as far more layered and reverberant.</p>

<p>3)&nbsp; It’s a game-changer for all &nbsp;Hindi remakes from foreign sources. Rather than copy blindly from the original director Ram Madhvani has taken the core theme—a self-serving television journalist negotiating with a &nbsp;terrorist—and moved much further ahead, exploring how social inequality and a damaged sense of justice can be lethal to society.</p>

<p>4)&nbsp;It's a game-changer for &nbsp;Indian cinema’s uneasy relationship with the theme of terrorism and terror attacks. What happens when the common man is pushed to uncommon depths of despair?

Dhamaka: 5 reasons to watch Kartik Aaryan in this game-changer film

<p>Ram Madhvani a guru in the world of ad filmmaking made his first feature film, the brilliant in its own right 'Let’s Talk' in 2002. Not until 2016 did he come into his own with the well-received real-life midair thriller &nbsp;Neerja. &nbsp;In 2020 &nbsp;'Aarya' the &nbsp;Disney-Hotstar series based on the Dutch series 'Pinoza' has hit pay-dirt. After its huge success 'Aarya' has been nominated for the prestigious International Emmy Awards in the Best Drama Series category. Subhash K Jha talks to Ram.</p>

<p><strong>How hopeful are you of winning the &nbsp;Emmy?</strong></p>

<p>I don’t want to sound clichéd. But for me, it is an honour in itself that we are nominated. We never expected it. I never go into anything with expectations. &nbsp;If the series has come this far then I &nbsp;have the &nbsp;Universe and Miss Universe to thank for it.</p>

<p><strong>That’s a good line to use?</strong></p>

<p>(Laughs) Please be my guest. But seriously, Aarya would not have been possible without Sushmita Sen. She brought her own personality and her inner strengths as a human being, into the part and took the character far beyond all expectations. There is so much to observe and appreciate from Sushmita. She can converse on any topic under the sun. She radiates positivity. If you go to a restaurant with her she connects with everyone there, from the other patrons to the waiters. She has a conversation with all of them.</p>

<p><strong>Was there an even better bonding while shooting the second season of Aarya?</strong></p>

<p>We shot Season 2 through the pandemic. Her professionalism and innate wisdom made it a lot easier. Really, I am thankful to Sushmita and Endemol Shine and Disney-Hotstar. We were on this project for 12 years.</p>

<p><strong>Coming back to the Emmys, have you seen the other nominees in the Best Drama Series category?</strong></p>

<p>No, I just haven’t had the time. I’ve been shooting for &nbsp;Season 2 of 'Aarya' and it’s now complete. I was also busy with my feature film 'Dhamaka'&nbsp;starring Kartik Aaryan which is streaming later this month on Netflix. But they(the Emmy nominees) &nbsp;are all highly acclaimed series and &nbsp;I &nbsp;intend to see them the soonest for my own satisfaction and not to compare with the competition.</p>

<p><strong>Speaking of Dhamaka how was that experience?</strong></p>

<p>I must say I’ve been exceptionally lucky with my actors. Whether it was Sushmita in 'Aarya' or Kartik Aaryan in 'Dhamaka', they were fully involved and committed to the project. They went far beyond my expectations. Kartik will surprise the world in 'Dhamaka'.</p>

<p><strong>Now you are going into a series on Udham Singh. Any fear of being compared with Shoojit Sircar’s film?</strong></p>

<p>First of all, my series won’t be about Udham Singh. It will be about the entire Jallianwala Bagh incident. Secondly, I am a big fan of &nbsp;Shoojit Sircar’s work. I &nbsp;intend to see his film as soon as &nbsp;I can. I am sure what &nbsp;I’ve to say would be very different from his film.</p>

<p><strong>Is there any genre of cinema you would like to attempt?</strong><br />
<br />
(promptly) The musical. I would love to do &nbsp;a do full-fledged &nbsp;musical with lip-sync songs.</p>

Ram Madhvani on 'Aarya 2', Kartik Aaryan & earning International Emmy nomination

<p>The beleaguered project 'Dostana 2', in the pipeline for ten years, is yet to get its final cast. After&nbsp;Kartik &nbsp;Aaryan's exit from the project in April, the strong buzz doing the rounds is that Akshay Kumar has taken over the project and that the other two lead actors in the project Janhvi Kapoor and newcomer Laksh Lalvani are to be replaced.</p>

<p>However, when I touched base with Karan Johar he said, “Not true at all. Janhvi and Laksh are very much part of the film.”</p>

<p>As for the other lead that Kartik Aaryan vacated- is Akshay Kumar taking over?</p>

<p>Karan replied&nbsp;“My lips are sealed. Will announce soon.”</p>

<p>Ridden with problems from the start the project finally took off in &nbsp;2018. Tarun Mansukhani who directed the hot homophobic hit&nbsp; 'Dostana' in &nbsp;2008 &nbsp;was no longer helming the sequel. A &nbsp;new director- Colin De Cunha-was all set to direct&nbsp; 'Dostana 2'&nbsp; with Janhvi Kapoor, Kartik Aaryan and newcomer Laksh in the lead.</p>

<p>The project was troubled from the start. Producer Karan Johar tried his best to ensure Mansukhani returned with the sequel. But Tarun Mansukhani couldn't come up with a single idea worth filming. Way back in 2009, Karan Johar announced the sequel with Tarun as director and the same two leading men &nbsp;Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham with Katrina Kaif replacing Priyanka Chopra. But Karan didn’t like the script that Tarun came up with. Karan decided to wait for Tarun to rustle up a &nbsp;decent idea for a sequel.</p>

<p>Finally, Karan roped in another director and fresh cast.</p>

<p>Earlier this year Kartik Aaryan opted out of 'Dostana 2' after he expressed some doubts and misgivings about the script. Producer &nbsp;Karan Johar loftily announced he would get another A-lister to replace Kartik.</p>

Unfortunately, his life takes a turn when the terrorist threatens to blow up the bridge Arjun's wife (played by Mrunal Thakur) is reporting from.<br />
<br />
Speaking about the project, Kartik said, "Arjun Pathak was an enriching, one-of-a-kind experience as I haven't played a role like this in the past. Also, I've never shot a film like Dhamaka before. It`s a high octane thriller. We even shot it like that, with 8 cameras and 10 minutes long continuous takes. Ram sir has pushed the boundaries in every aspect of filmmaking."<br />
