<p>Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor's latest film <em>Stree 2 </em>has been doing great business at the box office. The film has earned over Rs 5 billion globally within 10 days of release. In a recent interview, Rao admitted that he did not expect the movie to do so well.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
While speaking to News18, Rao opened up about the film's box office success and called the Amar Kaushik film a 'content-driven' film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>'Numbers way above our expectations'</strong><br />
<br />
"We were sure that the film (Stree 2) would get lot of love because of the love that <em>Stree 1</em> got. There’s a big fan-following for <em>Stree</em>, including me. I am a huge fan of<em> Stree</em> myself. But these numbers are way above our expectations. We are glad and super elated. There’s a lot of gratitude that this is happening with a film like <em>Stree </em>because it is a content-driven film,” he added.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>Days of Struggle</strong><br />
<br />
Rao added, “There’s a lot of gratitude. God has been really kind. I have got a lot of love from the audience and they have accepted me for who I am. I have come from nowhere. I come from a very humble beginning. I didn’t grow up with money around me. I am one of their [audience’s] own. A lot of messages I get say that it feels like a personal victory, which is overwhelming.”<br />
<br />
The actor also admitted that his journey in films wasn't easy. The actor spoke about his theatre days in Delhi and revealed that on some days he did not have money to take a state transport, so he would 'cycle 70 km up and down'. Then, after coming to Mumbai post-FTII (Film and Television Institute of India), he struggled 'to survive' in the 'expensive city', adding he didn’t know anyone, ‘where to start, who to meet’.</p>

Rajkummar Rao got a fatter paycheck for Stree 2 than Shraddha Kapoor?

<p>The horror universe has just got bigger. What started as a story of a small town called Chanderi, which was haunted by a veiled ghost in <em>Stree</em> in 2018, has expanded with multiple film franchises (<em>Bhediya</em>, <em>Munjya</em>) and multiple characters who crossover ever so often to further storytelling. In Amar Kaushik's <em>Stree 2</em>, Chanderi is back in focus, and so are Vicky (Rajkummar Rao) and his friends Jana (Abhishek Banerjee), Bittu (Aparshakti Khurana) and Rudra (Pankaj Tripathi), who now have a new monster to deal with. They obviously have the unnamed witch (Shraddha Kapoor) as their ally who returns to the sleepy town after years, but this time with a personal mission.<br />
<br />
<em>Stree 2 </em>picks up from where <em>Stree</em> had ended. After being haunted for years by a veiled ghost who targeted men in dark, lonely streets, Vicky and the town of Chanderi were able to give Stree the respect that she had craved and set her free. From <em>O Stree Phir Aana </em>(O Stree, come later) Chanderi has now repainted its walls as <em>O Stree, Raksha Karna </em>(O Stree, Protect Us) and set her free with the help of<em> rakshak</em> Vicky. But with Stree's exit, a new trouble is in town - who abducts modern, liberated women. A giant who can separate his head from the body and is thus called Sarkata, only targets women.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Vicky and the gang along with his object of desire, the unnamed witch, take charge of things, draw references from torn pages of Chanderi Puran which Rudra had received by mail anonymously and decide to take the Sarkata head-on, literally.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em><strong>Stree 2 </strong></em><strong>writing</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
Writers Niren Bhatt and Amar Kaushik keep the spirit of Stree alive mostly and the world that Raj and DK had very effectively created in the first film. The first half is laden with puns, jokes, witty repartees, and references to pop culture, making the narrative fun and light. The jokes, the buffoonery of Vicky, Bittu, Rudra and Jana are still intact. While the group goes around hunting for the Sarkata, Vicky and the witch also indulge in some romance. The lovelorn Vicky is not ready to give up on his hope of being with his true love, even though his friends think he is mostly hallucinating. A scene where the four men hide inside a wooden elephant as they dodge the monster truly stands out and is very well executed.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
It's the second half that is choppy when the story meanders a bit too much and even the humour fails to uplift the story. Sure the cameos by Varun Dhawan, Akshay Kumar and Tamannaah Bhatia are the high points of the second half, but due to limited screen time, these actors and the characters they play aren't fully fleshed out. By the time of the climax, the film feels a bit of a drag. The VFX is unimpressive and at one point there is just a lot of screaming and screeching happening. The climax completely mars the film.</p>

Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor carry the film well. Rao's comic timing is well known and is well displayed here as well. Kapoor plays the mysterious, enchanting witch with absolute ease and even performs a few action sequences. The stars of <em>Stree 2,</em> however, are&nbsp;Abhishek Banerjee and Pankaj Tripathi, who play their characters to perfection and make the film such a fun watch. Banerjee's Jana is silly, cute and gullible who is taken for a ride ever so often by his friends. He gets the best moments and delivers to his part brilliantly.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Tripathi, with his deadpan style of dialogue delivery, makes even the most generic lines funny, and it is a delight to watch Banerjee and Tripathi feed off each other with their lines.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Aparshakti Khurana's performance is also credible as the street smart, lover who sings Soft Chitty, Warm Chitty' to his girlfriend and then eventually becomes the alpha male out under a spell, out to protect all the women.</p>

<p>A moment in <em>Stree 2</em> has women breaking shackles to walk out in unison late into the night, even as the danger looms large. It's a poignant moment in the film and hits home at a time when thousands of people have taken to the streets of Kolkata to demand justice for a doctor's brutal rape and murder. Amar Kaushik, who has in the past deftly handled several societal issues in Stree and <em>Bedhiya</em> and <em>Stree 2,&nbsp;</em>also interestingly talks of women empowerment - even though it's sketchy and limited.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I wish<em> Stree 2</em> climax was not so screechy and the second half was not this stretched. I did enjoy watching the film but the second half marred the experience to quite an extent. It ends with a promise of Part 3 and the possibility of a Vampire film being added to the horror universe of Maddock.&nbsp;</p>


The horror universe has just got bigger. What started as a story of a small town called Chanderi, which was haunted by a veiled ghost in Stree in 2018, has expanded with multiple film franchises (Bhediya, Munjya) and multiple characters who crossover ever so often to further storytelling.

The horror universe has just got bigger. What started as a story of a small town called Chanderi, which was haunted by a veiled ghost in Stree in 2018, has expanded with multiple film franchises (Bhediya, Munjya) and multiple characters who crossover ever so often to further storytelling. In Amar Kaushik's Stree 2, Chanderi is back in focus, and so are Vicky (Rajkummar Rao) and his friends Jana (Abhishek Banerjee), Bittu (Aparshakti Khurana) and Rudra (Pankaj Tripathi), who now have a new monster to deal with. They obviously have the unnamed witch (Shraddha Kapoor) as their ally who returns to the sleepy town after years, but this time with a personal mission. Stree 2 picks up from where Stree had ended. After being haunted for years by a veiled ghost who targeted men in dark, lonely streets, Vicky and the town of Chanderi were able to give Stree the respect that she had craved and set her free. From O Stree Phir Aana (O Stree, come later) Chanderi has now repainted its walls as O Stree, Raksha Karna (O Stree, Protect Us) and set her free with the help of rakshak Vicky. But with Stree's exit, a new trouble is in town - who abducts modern, liberated women. A giant who can separate his head from the body and is thus called Sarkata, only targets women. Vicky and the gang along with his object of desire, the unnamed witch, take charge of things, draw references from torn pages of Chanderi Puran which Rudra had received by mail anonymously and decide to take the Sarkata head-on, literally. Stree 2 writing Writers Niren Bhatt and Amar Kaushik keep the spirit of Stree alive mostly and the world that Raj and DK had very effectively created in the first film. The first half is laden with puns, jokes, witty repartees, and references to pop culture, making the narrative fun and light. The jokes, the buffoonery of Vicky, Bittu, Rudra and Jana are still intact. While the group goes around hunting for the Sarkata, Vicky and the witch also indulge in some romance. The lovelorn Vicky is not ready to give up on his hope of being with his true love, even though his friends think he is mostly hallucinating. A scene where the four men hide inside a wooden elephant as they dodge the monster truly stands out and is very well executed. It's the second half that is choppy when the story meanders a bit too much and even the humour fails to uplift the story. Sure the cameos by Varun Dhawan, Akshay Kumar and Tamannaah Bhatia are the high points of the second half, but due to limited screen time, these actors and the characters they play aren't fully fleshed out. By the time of the climax, the film feels a bit of a drag. The VFX is unimpressive and at one point there is just a lot of screaming and screeching happening. The climax completely mars the film.

Stree 2 review: Rajkummar Rao, Shraddha Kapoor's film expands its universe, Abhishek Banerjee shines

<p>Finally! The&nbsp;trailer for <em>Stree 2</em> is here and&nbsp;this time the horror has doubled up with an equal amount of fun.</p>

<p>The horror-comedy&nbsp;starring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor is undoubtedly the most awaited horror comedy of the year, and&nbsp;after teasing eagerly waiting fans with thrilling posters and teasers, the makers have finally released the trailer, taking the audience back to the world of <em>Stree</em>.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Apart from Rao and Shraddha, the epic clan&nbsp;comprising Aparshakti Khurana, Pankaj Tripathi and Abhishek Banerjee is also returning in the sequel.</p>

<h2><strong>Stree 2 Trailer</strong></h2>

<p>In the trailer, set months after the events of the first film of the franchise, things in the town of Chanderi have changed a lot. Stree has now gone from the city and is now worshipped by the people. The clip starts with Rudra Bhaiya's voice-over hinting at the new threat, Sarkata, which will haunt the townspeople and kidnap&nbsp;women.</p>

<p>The epic clan of the town incuding Rajkummar, Abhishek, Pankaj Tripathi, and Aparshakti Khurana are back to fight with the new villain and save the townspeople. This time, they are joined by Stree (Shraddha Kapoor), who with her superpower will fight with Sarkata. In the trailer, we also got a brief glimpse of Tamannaah Bhatia</p>

<p>Like <em>Stree</em>, the&nbsp;promising trailer gives you chills at one moment and horror at another. The VFX in the trailer is top-notch and will surely take the fun a notch higher.&nbsp;</p>

The clip starts with Rudra Bhaiya's voice-over hinting at the new threat, Sarkata, which will haunt the townspeople and kidnap women. The epic clan of the town incuding Rajkummar, Abhishek, Pankaj Tripathi, and Aparshakti Khurana are back to fight with the new villain and save the townspeople. This time, they are joined by Stree (Shraddha Kapoor), who with her superpower will fight with Sarkata. In the trailer, we also got a brief glimpse of Tamannaah Bhatia Like Stree, the promising trailer gives you chills at one moment and horror at another. The VFX in the trailer is top-notch and will surely take the fun a notch higher.

Promising more thrills, the makers are back with Stree 2, the sequel to the hit horror comedy that captured everyone’s attention when it released. Stree is part of the Maddock Supernatural Universe. Joining the original cast, Tamannaah Bhatia will add more spunk to the film and maybe horror. The teaser shows Shraddha Kapoor back in the same town even after the townspeople have accepted their mistakes and honour Stree in the form of a big statue which they garland every day. However, seems like that’s not enough. In Stree 2, Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor will reprise their roles. Others who will join in the fun from the first film are Aparshakti Khurana, Pankaj Tripathi, and Abhishek Banerjee. Sharing the much-awaited teaser of Stree 2, Rajkummar Rao wrote, “Iss baar Chanderi mein azaadi ke din hoga aatank! The legend returns this INDEPENDENCE DAY on 15th August! #Stree2 #SheIsBack #Stree2Teaser.” Watch the teaser here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Maddock Films (@maddockfilms) × The video shows Flora Saini’s vengeful spirit on the hunt for men again in Chanderi.

<strong>About <em>Stree&nbsp;</em></strong><br />
<br />
<em>Stree</em> released in 2018, garnered widespread critical acclaim and became a commercial success. Apart from Rao and Khurrana, the film also featured Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurrana and Abhishek Banerjee in key roles. The film's music also gained significant attention, with tracks like <em>‘Milegi Milegi’ </em>and <em>‘Aao Kabhi Haveli Pe’ </em>becoming chart-topping hits.<br />

The sequel, directed by Amar Kaushik, is produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films. It is part of the producer’s horror-comedy universe, which includes films such as <em>Stree</em>, <em>Roohi</em> and&nbsp; <em>Bhediya.</em><br />

<strong>WION's review of <em>Stree</em></strong><br />
<br />
In her review, WION's Shomini Sen had praised Pankaj Tripathi and Rajkummar Rao's performance in the film and said that the narrative took a feminist approach in the second half. "Based on an urban folklore that happened in Bangalore a few years back, the film takes a feminist approach in the second half. Men start dressing up like women to ward off the ghost, they ask their wives to come back home quickly as they are scared and women are seen instructing their men to not step out alone. It is indeed a utopian world. It also has an extremely quirky ghost. Like Rudra points out- '<em>Yeh Stree hai, purushon ke tarah zabardasti nahi karti, anumati leti hai </em>(Unlike men who force, this ghost is a woman, she waits for consent)'. Where have you heard of a spirit who waits for consent?"

Stree 2 finally gets a release date, to clash with Akshay Kumar's Khel Khel Mein

<p>At the onset, Sharan Sharma's new romantic sports drama<em> Mr &amp; Mrs Mahi</em> holds a lot of potential. The film talks of modern romances and marriage with cricket as its backdrop. It has all the elements of a blockbuster. Credible actors like Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor, great support cast comprising actors like Kumud Mishra and Zarina Wahab, a story that ticks the two major draws in India and romance and a unique story. Yet <em>Mr &amp; Mrs Mahi </em>never truly leaves an impact.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>The plot of <em>Mr &amp; Mrs Mahi</em></strong></p>

<p>Written by Sharma and Nikhil Mehrotra, the story is a fresh but relatable take on modern marriages and the complexities that come along the way. In an <em>Abhimaan</em>-eseque style plot, Mahendra and Mahima, who share a common nickname - Mahi-&nbsp; marry each other in a match arranged by their parents. On the first night, they realise they deeply love cricket. Frustrated at never being able to make it to the Indian team, despite playing at state level, Mahendra now helps his father run the family sports goods shop. His father and he share a strained relationship where Mahendra has been constantly subjected to ridicule. When he discovers that his wife is a gifted batswoman, he realises coaching her for the Indian Team would get him fame, recognition&nbsp;and validation that he has desired all his life.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mahima, meanwhile, is a doctor who doesn't like her job. She is initially reluctant of her husband's grand plan but eventually realises that cricket is her true calling and is more than willing to be a part of&nbsp;Mahendra's plan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As Mahima gains success on the field, her marriage to Mahendra starts taking a toll as ego clashes take precedence and Mahendra's need for validation constantly puts unnecessary weight on their relationship.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="h" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4d593ba4-5ef4-46b4-b827-0f786351aaa4" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Your%20paragraph%20text%20-%202024-05-31T093354.451.jpg" /></p>

<p>Modern relationships and marriages have often been depicted on screen before. To its credit, <em>Mr&nbsp;&amp; Mrs Mahi</em> takes a fresh look at some known complex problems. Ego clashes between partners, ambition and dreams shattering marital bliss, finding happiness within first, the need for validation from partner- all these issues are well tackled.&nbsp;It takes cricket as a backdrop and a catalyst in Mahendra and Mahima's relationship. The sport brings the two together and it's the same sport that tears their relationship apart. Despite a credible story, the film doesn't leave a defining impact.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Rajkummar Rao's performance</strong></p>

<p>Rao and Kapoor are great in their respective roles. Rajkummar Rao plays a complex man, who has self-doubt, is depressed, and constantly seeks validation. His happiness is his wife yet he craves for more. A poignant moment in the film has him talking to his mother (Wahab) who very casually says that needs are limitless but what matters is happiness from within. The scene is beautifully written and executed and stays with you.</p>

<p>Rao's scenes with Mishra, who plays his toxic father, too are stunning.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Janhvi Kapoor complements Rajkummar Rao in every scene well.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While I am slightly tired of Kapoor's wide-eyed vulnerable act in every film, her role demands a certain amount of innocence which Kapoor ably brings out. It isn't easy to hold your own in a film which has actors like Kumud Mishra and Rajkummar Rao, yet Kapoor manages to do it.</p>

<p>The predictability, however, hampers the narrative to a great extent. You know how the story will pan out almost from the beginning. The loopholes in the characterisations are obvious and evident.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Films based on&nbsp;cricket with an underdog winning at the climatic end are not new. We have also seen enough films where women have played the lead in sports-centric biopics. Which is why so many moments of <em>Mr &amp; Mrs Mahi-</em> especially when Mahendra trains Mahima- &nbsp;seem familiar.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The songs by multiple composers are passable. There is not a single song that stays with you for long.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the end, <em>Mr &amp; Mrs Mahi</em> is an average fair. It is not a bad film but it doesn't ever leave you overwhelmed with emotions which sports dramas typically do. Neither can it be placed as an iconic love story. It does have great performers and some beautiful scenes of Rao with his on-screen parents and wife talking of inner happiness and peace, but the overall screenplay isn't able to tap into the plot's true potential leaving a very mild impact on the viewers.&nbsp;</p>

Mr & Mrs Mahi: Rajkummar Rao, Janhvi Kapoor's film beats Fighter in advance ticket sales

<p>Actor Rajkummar Rao has established his career in Bollywood in a very short time span. Rao, who has been hailed as one the finest young actors of Bollywood, started his career from scratch without any big support. Recently during his chat with director Karan Johar, the actor shared his views on the outsider vs insider debate.</p>

<p>In a special segment An Imperfectly Perfect Chat, the <em>Stree</em> actor shared that he lost a project to&nbsp;a star kid.</p>

<p>During the chat shared on&nbsp;Dharma Productions’ YouTube channel, Johar claimed, “Sometimes&nbsp;they are using it as a tool to make headlines. Immensely successful people are saying, ‘Oh I felt victimised like an outsider and lost opportunity to a star kid’. Somebody is saying, ‘I didn’t attend a party so I didn’t get a role.’ I don’t know at which party there has been transactions for films.”</p>

<p>Replying to Karan's views, the actor shared his struggle story as an outsider, he said, “When I came to Mumbai, even I was told that ‘you have to attend parties’. Making contacts is not a problem, but you're not going to a party and going to say, ‘Hi I am here to make contact’. That's not going to happen."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Further, the actor shared his heartbreaking experience, ''But having said that, I was supposed to do a film, but then suddenly I was not in that film overnight. Somebody who is known and happened to be a star kid got that part. In my mind, I was like it was 'not fair'. Just because you can control things, you know some people, you can make calls [it shouldn't be done]. But yes, this has happened.”</p>

<p>Born in Gurgaon, Haryana, Rajkummar has carved a niche for himself in the Indian film industry with his prolific acting. He has been part of critically acclaimed movies and has delivered several&nbsp;blockbuster hits as well. The actor made his debut in 2010 with Dibakar Banerjee’s&nbsp;<em>Love Sex Aur Dhokha. </em>The actor graduated&nbsp;from the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) in 2008.</p>

<p>On the work front, he was last seen in <em>Srikanth</em>. Directed by Tushar Hiranandani, the movie tells the inspiring true story of blind man Srikanth Bolla, who went on to become an industrialist. The movie is garnering decent numbers at the box office.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actor will next be seen in<em> Mr. and Mrs Mahi</em> co-starring Janhvi Kapoor. The movie will be released on May 31.</p>

Mr and Mrs Mahi trailer: Cricket is the heart of Rajkummar Rao-Janhvi Kapoor’s love story

<p>While we are still not over Vidhu Vinod Chopra's<em> 12th Fail</em>, a new Bollywood biopic is here; Rajkummar Rao's <em>Srikanth</em> - the movie that tells the inspiring story of a blind man who went on to become an industrialist. Like I have said in my reviews many times before, a biopic is the most challenging kind of genre. While you already have a story in place, how you are going to mount it is a big task.</p>

<p>In the case of <em>Srikanth</em>, many (including me) had an idea that the movie might be over-emotional, and you end up shedding a lot of tears. However, it's not. Director Tushar Hiranandani has celebrated the life of Srikanth and told his swagger story&nbsp;most entertainingly and freshly, as one could ever imagine. With no space for sorrow, regret, and sympathy that generally comes intact when we think of people with disabilities.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>What's the story of Srikanth?</strong></p>

<p>The movie tells the story of Srikanth, who was born blind in Machilipatnam in Andhra Pradesh, into a poor farmer&nbsp; family.</p>

<p>Overjoyed with the birth of a boy, his father drinks and dances as he carries his newborn in his hand. With the dream of seeing his son become a big cricketer, he names him after cricketer Krishnamachari Srikkanth. However, this all happens before he comes to know his son is blind.</p>

<p>After being warned by the relatives and people around him about how Srikanth's life would be, his father tried to end his life,&nbsp;a day after he was born. However, his mother saves him.</p>

<p>The kid grows up and is&nbsp;living a happy life but still full of challenges and bullying.</p>

<p>However, he's smart enough to fight back, as this is the only option he has.<img alt="mo" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8f03437a-fb93-465c-aefd-4633cfc67659" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/happy%2030th%20birthday%20-%202024-05-10T140046.051.png" /></p>

<p>A genius in&nbsp;studies, Srikanth is sent to the special school for visually impaired children in Hyderabad, where he meets Devaki (Jyothika), a teacher in the school, who ends up becoming Srikanth’s first and forever guardian.</p>

<p>Teacher (as Srikanth refers to her in the film) is by his side from all highs to lows; from keeping him in her home to his first court case on allowing blind students to study science, to the idea of sending him to abroad for further studies after they get bored of fighting with the system over different things due to his disability.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Srikanth chose to study at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on a scholarship. He has planned his sorted life in the USA, where he has several good job offers. However following his girlfriend Swathi's (Alaya F) advice, he decides to leave everything behind and take a flight back to India to make things better for himself and the people like him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With the hope of building his own business to prove that his disability is his power, Srikanth, in the end, wins his battle against all odds.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Narration of the movie</strong></p>

<p>Writers Jagdeep Sidhu and Sumit Purohit have narrated the story of Srikanth in the most effective and immersive way. From the frame, when the evergreen song ''Papa Kahte Hain'' plays, everything gets joyous, with no feeling of sorrow. At one time you may get sad over Srikanth's challenges, while at the other you will enjoy, seeing him winning over everything, proving that he's capable of everything.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Srikanth's dedication and resilience towards his goals end up inspiring us all. But at the same time, the movie delivers the industrialist's message over the stereotypical thought process that people have for blind people, that they are not capable of anything other than begging, making candles or charity.</p>

<p>Director Tushar and writers Jagdeep and Sumit have fairly narrated the story without doing whitewashing of the story.</p>

<p><strong>What works and what not?</strong></p>

<p>The movie's story runs smoothly, with a happy and fun tone in the back. In a two-hour long film, we get to know about Srikanth's whole life in a detailed way, with every part of his life getting a fair on-screen presence, whether it's his childhood, his college life in India and the USA, or most importantly when he sets up his business.</p>

<p>Apart from Srikanth's remarkable life, the movie is much more about the life of a blind person, and the challenges that one goes through in a world where people only see them as helpless beings, who are of no use on the planet.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film gets additional points for its dialogue, which will surely stay with you for a long time. While the first half of the movie was full of entertainment, the second part was kind of lengthy. Nevertheless, everything gets right when you see Rajkummar's witty smile and see him conquering his world.</p>

<p>Most of the movie tells the heroic story of Srikanth with utmost simplicity and authenticity. Yet, in the second half when they show the vulnerable side of Srikanth, when he starts to have the arrogance that he starts to have over his achievements, leaves a deep and apparent impact on the viewer.</p>

<p><strong>The performances</strong></p>

<p>Rajkummar Rao is one of the actors who can be trusted with any role. In his&nbsp;short career span, he has established his name among the most versatile actors. Talking about this movie, Rao has gotten into the skin of the character in the most commendable way, from very tiny details, whether it was his eyes blinking, the head shaking, &nbsp;to his smile. &nbsp;Playing a blind man is a tough job, and Rao did this most organically, staying within the limits of character. Not in a single frame can I recall he has overdone.&nbsp;</p>

<p>What adds more charm to the movie is the supporting cast and best-on-screen chemistry.</p>

<p>Jyothika's soft portrayal as teacher&nbsp;Devika&nbsp;brings more sweetness to the film.</p>

<p>Sharad Khelker, like always, delivered a convincing performance in the limited screen time as his business partner Ravi Mantha.</p>

<p>Alaya F, as Swathi, Srinkanth's sweetheart plays her part perfectly.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Why You Should Watch Srikanth in Theatres</strong></p>

<p>In a time when&nbsp;Bollywood is giving&nbsp;back-to-back duds with lacklustre content, <em>Srikanth</em> is a type of quality content that deserves to be celebrated at the box office.</p>

<p>Instead of waiting for its OTT release, go and watch this movie with your children&nbsp;and you will step out of the theatre with a sweet smile.&nbsp;<br />

Srikanth Review: Rajkummar Rao is brilliant in this entertaining and not-so-ordinary biopic

<p>Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao starrer <em>Mr and Mrs Mahi </em>teased the first official posters from their film together and we must say their chemistry looks crackling.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Both actors took to their social media profiles to tease the posters. The first poster captures Janhvi and Rajkummar wearing their Indian jerseys and standing close to each other. They look overjoyed, having won at something with their faces painted with the Indian flag colours.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the second poster, Janhvi and RajKummar are seen screaming with joy and cheering in the stands of the cricket stadium.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Aamir Khan went down memory lane and spoke about his debut film<em> Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak</em> during an event in Mumbai on Monday. Aamir launched the song <em>Papa Kehte Hai 2.0</em> from the film Srikanth at the event. The song originally from <em>QSQT</em> was sung by Udit Narayan. The new version of the song features Rajkummar Rao.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Singer Udit Narayan was also part of the event on Monday where Aamir recalled how Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak's cast and crew were all new.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<strong>What Aamir Khan and Udit Narayan said about the iconic song</strong></p>

<p>Aamir recalled at the event that <em>Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak</em> was not just his first film, but also of&nbsp;many others, including co-star Juhi Chawla, music composers Anand-Milind, singers Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik, director Mansoor Khan, and many of the crew members. Aamir said he felt unsure of the film and saw “only the flaws” when he watched it with&nbsp;Mansoor Khan later.<br />
<br />
“But one day it released and it was wonderful to see the journey it had. I like to believe Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak is a milestone in Indian cinema. From 1988 onwards, you can see the shift happening,” he added.&nbsp;</p>

I felt that it would take a lot of fear to do it, but when you feel fear, you will enjoy it." Srikanth is directed by Tushar Hiranandani and written by Jagdeep Sidhu and Sumit Purohit. Srikanth is slated to have a theatrical release on May 10, 2024.

Has Rajkummar Rao undergone plastic surgery? Here's how the actor has reacted

<p>Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha's new film <em>Bheed </em>brings back the terrible memories of 2020 when the world was under a lockdown. This was the first wave of the pandemic, when most were clueless of what they were fighting for, and the extent of the disease. The misinformation and lack of awareness were in plenty. In India, the lockdown also led to a mass exodus of immigrants from big cities attempting to return to their villages after being left without shelter and jobs overnight. The situation was unprecedented, with authorities unable to tackle the sea of humans struggling to reach home through various means, resulting in several tragic deaths and arbitrary arrests. In <em>Bheed</em>, Sinha takes various news snippets to weave a story of an India that we seldom talk about but one that exists within all of us. One of discrimination, of privileges, of caste divisions.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Starring an ensemble cast of Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Kapur, Bhumi Pednekar, Ashutosh Rana, Dia Mirza, Kritika Kamra and Aditya Srivastava- <em>Bheed </em>is an amalgamation of the migrant crisis that gripped India and showed us the other side of our country which is often overlooked.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Rao plays a junior cop, who is given a charge of a police picket of a state border as the Indian government announced total lockdown. The police picket is a temporary one with Rao as its temporary in-charge. Born in a lower caste family, Rao's Surya Kumar Singh Tikas wants to make the most of the opportunity at hand. He is a law-enforcing authority and aware of his powers but ever so often stumbles in front of those who have upper-caste surnames- even if they may be from lower strata of the society.&nbsp;</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lGAKZ6L9IVo" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
With a handful of aides, Tikka has to prevent a huge crown from crossing the border until further orders come in. There are buses full of immigrants, some who have walked for miles for days, kins of politicians, &nbsp;and the urban elite- all gathered at that picket Tikas is 'in-charge' of. All hungry, tired, and easily agitable - and he along with fellow cop Singh Ji has to manage them there until he gets clearance from the top bosses.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Written by Anubhav Sinha, Saumya Tiwari, and Sonali Jain, - the picket serves as a way to represent India, ridden by disparities, by caste, and class politics where a Brahmin watchman is pitted against a Dalit cop, an urban elite forces her driver to follow a young girl on a bicycle through the fields in order to reach her daughter's hostel. A health worker has to intervene when a bus full of Muslims is forced to sit inside in the heat because they have been labeled as 'super-spreaders' by the news agencies and a journalist has to look beyond her TRPs, perfect visually moving to understand the plight of the people around her.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a way, <em>Bheed </em>serves as a spiritual sequel to Sinha's previous two films- <em>Article 15</em> and <em>Mulk</em>. Both talking of minorities in India. And Sinha seems to have taken note of the criticism that came his way when <em>Article 15</em> had released and had an upper caste as an agent of change in a caste-ridden police station. In <em>Bheed</em> the lead is from the minority, fighting inner demons even as he yields power and authority over those who have oppressed his community for a long.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film opens with gut-wrenching incidents when a train ran over a bunch of sleepy and tired labourers. The scene is a grim reminder of how the country had failed most of its people and yet, two years on- the same people are back in cities, serving the privileged- a fact that a disgruntled cameraperson of a media outlet poignantly points out to the idealist journalist.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Shot entirely in black and white by Soumik Mukherjee, the canvas doesn't take any middle ground and shows the two extremes of society effectively.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Performances by the entire cast is praiseworthy but Rao and Pankaj Kapur are scene stealers in their respective roles. Anguished, helpless, and in pain- both display myriad emotions through their stellar work.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film, after -several cuts that take out 'controversial' scenes of brutality, does not get into the blame-game business. The stories and incidents are known, but Sinha deftly handles sensitive issues of the pandemic that leave a defining mark on the viewer.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<em>Bheed</em> is not to be missed at any cost. It is gut-wrenching, and brings back horrific memories but still an important film of our times.&nbsp;</p>

Bheed review: Anubhav Sinha shows the grim side of Incredible India

<p>Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha is back with yet another hard-hitting social drama called <em>Bheed</em>. The film's trailer was unveiled on Friday and lead actor Rajkummar Rao shared it on Instagram. The film looks back at the migrant crisis that gripped India during the lockdown in 2020.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"In the darkest times faced by the nation, one man will dare to make a difference. Trailer out now! #Bheed, in cinemas on 24th March," Rajkummar captioned the post.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film documents the dark phase during the lockdown when state borders were sealed for fear of the spread of novel coronavirus and thousands of migrants had to travel by foot to return to their native place.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The trailer shows how scores were stranded away from home, literally under the open sky, bringing back painful memories of the Partition of India in 1947.<br />
<br />
The film stars Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar, Pankaj Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, Dia Miza and Kiriti Kamra in pivotal roles and is all set to hit the theatres on March 24, 2023.</p>

Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha is back with yet another hard-hitting social drama called Bheed. The film's trailer was unveiled on Friday and lead actor Rajkummar Rao shared it on Instagram. The film looks back at the migrant crisis that gripped India during the lockdown in 2020. "In the darkest times faced by the nation, one man will dare to make a difference. Trailer out now! #Bheed, in cinemas on 24th March," Rajkummar captioned the post. The film documents the dark phase during the lockdown when state borders were sealed for fear of the spread of novel coronavirus and thousands of migrants had to travel by foot to return to their native place. The trailer shows how scores were stranded away from home, literally under the open sky, bringing back painful memories of the Partition of India in 1947. The film stars Rajkummar Rao, Bhumi Pednekar, Pankaj Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, Dia Miza and Kiriti Kamra in pivotal roles and is all set to hit the theatres on March 24, 2023.

<p><strong>Who is Srikant Bolla?</strong></p>

<p>Written by Jagdeep Sidhu and Sumit Purohit, and pictured by Pratham Mehta, <em>SRI</em> is a biopic of an industrialist Srikanth Bolla who didn't let his visual impairment come in the way of his vision and founded Bollant Industries.&nbsp;Srikanth was born to poor, uneducated parents in a very small village in Arunachal Pradesh. Visually impaired from birth, Srikanth had to face a lot of challenges throughout his life. He had to fight his way through schooling too. With big dreams and a never say never attitude, he completed school with top grades and became the first international blind student to study at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the USA.</p>

<p>The movie is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar &amp; Nidhi Parmar Hiranandani.&nbsp;</p>

Rajkummar Rao to star in the inspiring story of Srikanth Bolla in SRI

<p>If you loved quintessential Bollywood masala films, you will love Vasan Bala's films. Bala's previous outing at the movie was a refreshing 'Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota' in the year 2018 which was also the most underrated film of the year. With heaps of references to the 80s VHS era, Bala had created an interesting parallel universe that was relatable yet unknown and fascinating. His latest, 'Monica, O' My Darling' is similar in that sense. It does have a lot of references to 1970s Bollywood thrillers but also is very contemporary in its treatment of the plot. You really don't know what you are getting into when you start watching the film but ultimately end up being engrossed in the whodunnit which is full of puns, pop cultural references and credible performances from its lead cast.<br />
<br />
The film opens with a murder in a factory which the company quickly labels as a machine error. The story soon shifts six months later when star Unicorp Limited Jayant Arkhedkar (Rajkumar Rao) is awarded a director's post in the company. He is a talented engineer raised in a small town who has risen up the ranks of the company due to his work and become a blue-eyed boy of the owner. It also helps that he is in a relationship with the owner's daughter( Akansha Ranjan Kapoor). Life seems perfect for him until Monica(Huma Qureshi) the secretary of the owner claims she is pregnant with Jayant's child. The two have been having a torrid affair on the side.<br />
<br />
Blackmail, revelations of illicit romances, and a murder later, Jayant finds himself in a sticky wicket. He has much to lose and it doesn't help that ACP Naidu (Radhika Apte) is suspicious of his every move.<br />
<br />
Written by Yogesh Chandekar, the screenplay is taught and full of twists and keeps you hooked. It helps that quirk is high and you find yourself smiling at the multiple references that Bala gives to pop culture and even Sriram Raghavan. The narrative is interspersed with quintessential 70s-style Bollywood music which just enhances the storytelling.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
There is a lot happening in the story and even though you know who the killer is, you end up enjoying the slow revelation. It's the sort of film, which never loses grip of the audience's attention but also doesn't rush through things- making each moment enjoyable. You devour into the plot well.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film's cast is equally good. Be it Rao who plays the ordinary man in an extraordinary situation or Huma Quereshi as the temptress Monica or Radhika Apte in a quirky role as ACP Naidu(she gets the best lines), the film's actors are in terrific form. Even actors Sukant Goel, Sikandar Kher, Akanksha Ranjan Kapoor, and Zayn Marie Khan stand out in their limited screen time. There is also actor Bagavathi Perumal who plays a crucial role in the plot and is a delight to watch.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
No Hindi whodunnit can be a success without credible music. Achint Thakkar elevates the plot with his credible music that gives a hat tip to RD Burman's genre of music.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'Monica, O My Darling' ticks most boxes of a good noir. You seldom find yourself enjoying and laughing watching a whodunnit even as it keeps you on the edge with its twists and turns.&nbsp;Bala's ode to Hindi films is a well-crafted film that does not disappoint.&nbsp;'Monica, O My Darling' is streaming on Netflix.&nbsp;</p>

'Monica, O My Darling' review: A delicious whodunnit that should not be missed 

<p>A teaser for 'Guns and Gulaabs' was unveiled during Netflix's Tudum event. The series, created by the duo of Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K. or Raj &amp; DK, combines comedy, crime, and thriller genres. Starring Rajkummar Rao, Dulquer Salmaan, Adarsh Gourav, Gulshan Devaiah, and TJ Bhanu, the series appears to be a love letter to the 90s cinema and India. The 44-second clip is drenched in the old-timey style and aesthetic.</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/eRaNXtcThww" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>Rao's voiceover says (translated), "There are two kinds of people in the world. One is you. And the other is the rascal inside you." There are visuals of bloody scraps and gang wars. In one particularly disturbing shot, Rao's character stabs a man's face with a wrench and then takes it out as blood sprays. Salmaan plays the role of a cop. Gourav's character can be seen with a dreamy smile on his face.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The series looks similar to Anurag Kashyap's 'Gangs of Wasseypur' with its similar blend of comedy and casual violence. That two-part movie inspired multiple movies and shows set in the rural Hindi heartland, and most of them felt like cheap copies of the original.</p>

<p>Not 'Guns and Gulaabs'. Raj &amp; DK rarely disappoint, and it looks like this series, if you can stomach the gore, is certainly, absolutely worth waiting for. Finally, it is the cast that sold us. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The official synopsis reads, "The charm of the 90s and the misfits that land themselves in a world of crime, still keeping their love and innocence intact. Where will their paths lead them?"</p>

<p>'Guns and Gulaabs' does not have a release date yet.&nbsp;</p>

Bollywood celebs pour in congratulatory wishes as Neeraj Chopra wins silver at World Athletics C'ship

<p>Sailesh Kolanu's 'HIT: The First Case' held promise when I first learnt about it simply because of its lead pair. After all both Rajkummar Rao and Sanya Malhotra are formidable talents and have chosen mostly the right films in the past few years- delivering not just great performances but unique stories. A remake of the Telugu hit by the same name, 'HIT: The First Case', thus seemed to be promising. But by the end of the nearly 2 hours 30 minutes, the whodunnit left me feeling very sleepy and mildly confused.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film has Rao playing a sharp officer in the Homicide Intervention Team. Vikram has been suffering from PTSD for the past few months we are told and has developed a fear for dead bodies and fire due to certain incidents in the past. Yet, he is one of the sharpest, observant officers in HIT and someone on whom his superior (Dalip Tahil) relies heavily. While he uses work as an escape, his psychiatrist thinks it can lead to his breakdown. Forced to take a leave for 3 months, Vikram returns after 2 months when two women go missing. First, a college student called Preeti and second, a member of HIT and his girlfriend Neha (Sanya Malhotra).&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Just like a typical whodunnit, 'HIT: The First Case' to delays the conclusion and introduces several characters. Everyone is a suspect. From the parents of the missing girl to her divorced friendly neighbour (Shilpa Shukla) to Vikram's junior Rohit's wife to even Vikram himself. The story then takes arduous time to beat around the bushes before the two cases are solved. While there is no clear indication on whether the two cases are linked, the investigating team keeps going on wold goose chase only on the behest of Vikram who is convinced that the cases are linked.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Shot and edited shoddily, the film could have been at least half an hour shorter. Just when you find yourself getting involved in the case and curious to know who is the main culprit, the camera will pan towards a frazzled-looking Rao, smoking and looking out of a balcony, The scene may or may not have any connection with the next one.<br />
<br />
Having watched innumerable whodunnits, thanks to the work I do, &nbsp;it is easy to figure out the culprit after a point in time. But not in this one so credit should be given where it's due but ultimate when the truth is unveiled and a bizarre, unnecessary twist is given to the plot- one ends up feeling underwhelmed.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Rao tries hard to sustain the film but the story is as flimsy as the actor's inconsistent bearded look. Malhotra is barely there in the film and has limited scope to perform. Akhil Iyer, Shilpa Shukla and Milind Gunaji give an able supportive act- but writing fails them all.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film ends on a note for a sequel as several questions remain unanswered. I just hope the makers don't sleepwalk through the second part and instead use the strong star cast to its advantage.&nbsp;</p>

'Guns & Gulaabs' first look:  Rajkummar Rao, Dulquer Salmaan turn retro

<p>There certainly exists an India that's miles away from so-called 'wokeness' sometimes taken for granted in this time and age. Here, the families are close-knit but there are prying eyes and wagging tongues. Family members spy on each other, funnily pass on unsubstantiated rumours but at the end of the day are still one unit bound by love. In such pros and cons-filled set-up unfolds the story of 'Badhaai Do'. Do not expect anything Rajshri-esque from 'Badhaai Do' based on this description above because the movie deals with gender issues.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Shardul (Rajkummar Rao) is a hunky policeman in Dehradun who is hiding from the world the fact that he is gay. He is stationed in a police station that has mostly woman police officers. He desperately trying for a transfer. Suman (Bhumi Pednekar) is a Physical Education teacher in what looks like one of the elite Dehradun schools. She is hiding her identity as a Lesbian.</p>

<p>Paths of Shardul and Suman cross and after a very brief 'courtship', Shardul proposes a marriage of convenience that will keep respective families from hounding them to get 'settled' in life by way of traditional marriage.</p>

<p>The win-win deal is sealed quickly. Marriage is done and dusted and the couple starts living under one roof, husband and wife for the world but 'roommates' to one another, as they put it. There is no physical intimacy between them and both indulge in love with those of their respective preference. What follows is a game of careful balancing as both families do not know any of this.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Rajkummar Rao has by now mastered the art of playing awkward everyman and his presence is a delight in 'Badhaai Do'. Bhumi Pednekar's understated charm brings out the small-town but headstrong girl quite well on screen.</p>

<p>The prying eyes of both families are soon squarely on the couple. When there is no 'good news' even after one year, the aunties and uncles resort to subtle to outright explicit hints. They obtain info about the size of the bed both sleep together in to aid their own conjectures about 'why no baby yet'. Shardul's mom is swiftly dispatched to the couple's house in Dehradun to spy on them.</p>

<p>Both Rao and Pednekar have been able to portray their suffocation in this 'straight society' quite well. To its credit, the movie offers space for the portrayal of closeness between the men in addition to that between women and ducks the usual criticism about gender-based movies being partial to depicting lesbian love just to grab eyeballs. The same-sex closeness is depicted without being quote-unquote "icky". You can definitely watch this film with your family.</p>

<p>The songs, though hummable, appear unlikely to linger in mind once out of the theatre. This is quite a surprise as we have names like Amit Trivedi, Ankit Tiwari, Tanishq Bagchi associated with the music of the movie.</p>

<p>Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar carry the movie ably on their shoulders. You remember them the most. Not to forget Bhumi's love interest Rimjhim played by Chum Darang who adds to the freshness of the story.</p>

<p>As a product, 'Badhaai Do' does not quite appear to have been made for multiplex crowds in tier-1 cities as these viewers may have already grappled with gender-based dilemmas portrayed in 'Badhaai Do'. They may already have found solutions to these dilemmas (positive or negative!). But if you have time and want to quickly watch a no-stress movie, this Harshavardhan Kulkarni-directed flick can be worth your while.</p>
