<h2>WION's review of The Vvaan</h2><p>In <i>WION’s </i>review, Pargati Awasthi writes, "With the amount of money invested in the film, the camera work and production design make the movie look grand and visually polished, whether it’s the tiger sequences or the ghost portions. The scale is evident on screen, and technically, the film creates moments of spectacle that briefly lift the otherwise wafer-thin narrative. In the first half, the combination of mythology with folklore genuinely excites the curious viewer. But soon, as the layers of the story start to unravel, all that remains is melodrama. Malhotra truly carries the film with his performance and does everything he possibly could for it, and so do the other actors. Tamannaah brings her charm, but her role is limited."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It further concludes, "In brief, Vvaan is very much an Ekta Kapoor Tulsi Virani world, in which Sidharth has made his debut as the divine hero, but he can’t save this film with his looks."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/sidharth-malhotra-tamannaah-bhatia-meet-bihar-cm-samrat-choudhary-ahead-of-the-vvaan-release-see-pics-1789889415263"><strong>Sidharth, Tamannaah meet Bihar CM Samrat Choudhary ahead of The Vvaan release</strong></a></p><h2>About The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest</h2><p>Directed by Deepak Kumar Mishra, <i>Vvaan: Force of the Forrest</i> is a fantasy folklore thriller that hit theatres on Friday, September 25.

Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia's Vvaan: Force of the Forrest, has off to a promising start with its theatrical run on September 25 (Friday).

<p>Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia’s folk-fantasy thriller The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest began its theatrical run on September 25. Here’s a look at how much the film grossed on its opening day.&nbsp;</p>

The Vvaan box office collection: Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia-starrer mints THIS much on day 1

<p>Oh God, please forgive them! This is the first thought that comes to mind after watching Sidharth Malhotra's The Vvann: Force of the Forrest, which is backed by Ekta Kapoor. For context, in Indian cinema, religion and its gods have always played a very crucial role, to the point that films like Jai Santoshi Maa, which has popularised the goddess to an unimaginable extent. And, for a long time, even now, Indian audiences have been enjoying it, with movies heavily relying on faith, folklore and mythological stories.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In this film, things have surely gone out of hand, with every scene, dialogue, and song seemingly around religion, as if you are watching an extended version of Gulshan Kumar's 90s video of a devotional song. But the only difference here is the impressive camerawork, which is complimented with a team of good-looking actors.</p><h3>The Vvaan: Story lost in its own jungle</h3><p>Like any other film, the movie opens with a heroic scene featuring Sidharth Malhotra, who plays Rishi, showing off his skills as he saves a child and a group of workers from a JCB that has malfunctioned. And as expected, our hero saves them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Still from Vvaan

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>Then the music plays, and in a heroic moment, water splashes on the Shivling. So, yeah, that was the entry we got to see, followed by a beautiful, truly soothing song with the sweet and lovely couple (Malhotra as Rishi and Tamannaah Bhatia as Mamta) dancing, and after this warm-up, the movie actually begins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Rishi and Mamta are living in Mumbai, and there only dream is to have a child. To solve a property matter and also to celebrate Chhath, the couple goes back to their town, Devanchal, where there is a forest called Dev Van, and a goddess called Vann Devi, who is protecting the village from bad omens and demons. Atheist Rishi returns to his village and is quick to question the villagers and their belief in superstitions, which has become a hindrance to development, as their only fear is supernatural forces. How Rishi breaks this centuries-old curse of the jungle forms the rest of the story.</p>

<h3>Vvann: It's Ekta Kapoor's world on the big screen.&nbsp;</h3><p>From the very first frame, the over-fictionalised setting of the film feels artificial, with the sets looking staged and unrealistic. Despite this, the beginning starts on a promising note, before things only get worse. Stories around forest legends and their folklore have time and again inspired films that have impressed viewers, but director Deepak Kumar Mishra’s take on the theme feels distant and is mostly overburdened by dramatisation of religion, beliefs, and stories, to the point that it felt like I was watching Ekta Kapoor’s famous hit show Naagin, or even Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. The two-hour-long film has several scenes that give you déjà vu of daily soaps, whether it's Shweta Tiwari's shouting sequence in the hospital, the Chhath festival sequence, or even the climax where Rishi stops his wife from participating in the fast. Then there's Tamannaah's monologue, followed by yet another festival sequence where the heroine drowns, and the hero saves her. All these inputs seem like they have come directly from Kapoor's world of daily soaps.</p>

<p>The narration feels like a cut-and-paste of many past films. At one point, I felt I was watching Rishab Shetty’s Kantara; the very next moment, I was in S.S. Rajamouli’s RRR or Baahubali universe, with a pinch of Kajol’s Maa thrown in and also Stree, and there are a few other names I am definitely forgetting. &nbsp;In the film, there is a scene, where Rishi, who is an atheist, walks in front of the goddess’s temple, a very Deewaar-coded moment (that scene is iconic in Indian cinema). Amid all the comical dialogues and scenes, the only part I enjoyed was Paul as Ved. Suniel Grover's turn as the villain looks promising, until he gets those spidey-like black eyes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>With the amount of money invested in the film, the camera work and production design make the movie look grand and visually polished. The scale is evident on screen, and technically, the film creates moments of spectacle that briefly lift the otherwise wafer-thin narrative. In the first half, the combination of mythology with folklore genuinely excites the curious viewer. But soon, as the layers of the story start to unravel, all that remains is melodrama. Malhotra truly carries the film with his performance and does everything he possibly could for it, and so do the other actors. Tamannaah brings her charm, but her role is limited so she don't have much to serve.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To put it briefly, Vvaan is very much set in Ekta Kapoor's Tulsi Virani-style world, where Sidharth makes his debut as the divine hero. But he fails to carry the film on charm alone.</p>

Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia shoulder the responsibility of saving the world of The Vvaan, which impresses with its presentation despite a plot heavily inspired by Ekta Kapoor's TV universe.

Param Sundari Box office collection day 1: Sidharth Malhotra-Janhvi Kapoor starrer off to strong start, mints THIS much

<p>He is from the north, she is from the south, and amid cultural differences and language barriers, they fall in love. The tale of 2 states has been one of Indian cinema’s favourite themes. In recent years, there have been 2 States which were incidentally based on writer Chetan Bhagat’s life, and two years back, Rockky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani-where a Punjabi hero wooed a Bengali girl with all his loud Punjabiyat. Maddock Film’s latest Param Sundari, helmed by director Tushar Joshi, falls in a similar bracket but gets stuck in an attempt to be woke. The film, starring Sidharth Malhotra as Param and Janhvi Kapoor as Sundari, attempts too many things in one go and thereby makes an utter chaos of the film. It is neither too funny, nor too unique – with dollops of predictability thrown in. So, whatever you had expected the film to be (read a middling affair) after watching the trailer, it matches all of them and then some more.&nbsp;</p><h2>Plot of Param Sundari movie</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Param is an aimless rich boy who only knows how to sink his father’s money in one dubious start up after the other. Param is sold the idea of a new dating app which claims to find soulmates based on frequencies and data. Param is sceptical of the product but is told to try it for himself for a month before investing in it. The app tells him, his soul mate is in Kerala running a homestay with not much carbon footprint on her. Param and his friend Jaggi (Manjot Singh) end up travelling to a remote village in Kerala to meet Sundari, the owner and caretaker of the homestay.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Param, a man who is heavily driven by AI and data, is convinced Sundari is his soulmate.

And while they know that they have feelings for each other, the odds are against them.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>What does not work</h2><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Written by Tushar Jalota and Aarsh Vora, the film attempts to show the beautiful culture of Kerala but is so tone deaf that it becomes unintentionally funny. For years, Bollywood has failed in the correct representation of regions beyond Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Punjab and Maharashtra. Param Sundari is no different. Kapoor’s forced South Indian accented Hindi is a put-off; her monologue, distinguishing the fou,r eventually falls flat because the film’s cultural appropriation overpowers its wokeness. While it casually slips in how Kerala has a high literacy rate, its beautiful, lush landscape - it stereotypes every character who belongs to that state. The story is set in Kerala, and the film ticks all the stereotypes that Bollywood can think of. Bearded scruffy men in Mundu chasing the white skin north Indian hero with sickles in hand, overtly sexual energies of the women, the constant breaking into native language and then speaking heavy accented Hindi- it's all there. At one point, just to spite Param, Sundari takes him to a practice session of Kalaripayattu and makes him fight the best there. So unnecessary and so inappropriate to the narrative.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A boat race thrown here, a Mohiniattam recital there- some landscape shots of falls and backwaters- and Bollywood’s tone deaf makers feel that Kerala is wonderfully represented. It, of course, ultimately relies on the North Indian hero to lead and win the annual boat race. So what if he is flawed and behaves like a complete stalker and almost lured their girl into falling for him based on a bogus app? He is ultimately the hero and thus suddenly their own.&nbsp;</p>

<p> </p><p>In fact, Sundari’s uncle- a patriarch of the village and her family- arbitrarily decides when Param is an outsider and minutes later an insider, without him doing any exceptional or unusual to win his heart. Guess the North Indian good looks come in handy. </p><p> </p><p>The writing is all over the place. At one point Jaggi asks Param ‘Plan Kya hai (What's the plan) echoing the thoughts of the audience who have to figure out what the plot is and what the plot twist is. </p><h2>The actors</h2><p> </p><p>Sidharth Malhotra plays a cocky Punjabi brat who is confused in love and life. But the man has limited talent in the acting department, uses his hands too much and is not a patch on Ranveer Singh, who had famously played Rocky Randhawa in KJo’s film. The template is simila,r and Malhotra is not half as charming, not even goofy. His Param is an average Joe who flexes muscles, shows off his well-toned biceps and legs (lots of shots of him running in shorts for no reason,) and somewhere amid all the running falls for the gorgeous Sundari. </p><p> </p><p>While Param has reasons to fall for the self-made Sundari, not sure how Sundari gets attracted to Param. Janhvi Kapoor plays the role well; her accent may be off, but a film that has not put much thought into its actors or the plot, an accent is the least of the concerns. Kapoor attempts to deliver an earnest performance and looks stunning, but a bad script fails her. </p><p> </p><p>The film also suffers from predictability and goes completely haywire with its story in the second half. You really don’t know why Sundari is keen to be with Param and not her cute Doctor fiancé. He is far more intelligent, has a job, and is considerate of her feelings, unlike our hero, who doesn’t even dare to openly confess his feelings. </p><h2>What works</h2><p> </p><p>The songs and the cinematography are the only two factors that can draw the crowd to theatres. Composed by Sachin-Jigar, the songs, especially Pardesiya, are all soulful and hummable. Santhana Krishnan Ravichandran captures the beautiful Kerala in all its glory- at one point it almost feels like a Kerala tourism ad. </p><p> </p><h2>Final Verdict</h2><p>It’s a middling, predictable romantic film. Param Sundari doesn’t offer anything that one has not seen already. A half-hearted attempt at being culturally woke costs this one a lot, making the film terribly tone deaf and predictable. </p><p> </p><p>Param Sundari is now running in theatres all across India. </p><h2>Param Sundari cast and crew details</h2><p><strong>Director:</strong> Tushar Jalota</p>

<p><strong>Cast:</strong> Sidharth Malhotra, Janhvi Kapoor, Renji Panicker, Siddhartha Shankar, Manjot Singh, Sanjay Kapoor, Inayat Verma<br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Music director: </strong>Sachin–Jigar, Jigar Saraiya, Sachin Sanghvi, Sachin-Jigar<br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Producer:</strong> Dinesh Vijan<br>&nbsp;</p>

Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra expecting their first child: 'Greatest gift of our lives'

<p>Varun Dhawan was not very secure as an actor when he made his debut with Karan Johar&rsquo;s <em>Student Of The Year</em> in 2012. Now many years down the line, Varun Dhawan finally opened up on his insecurities and how he was competing with Sidharth for screen space. Being launched in a two-hero film is not unheard of, but it pitted Varun against Sidharth Malhotra.</p>
<p>In a recent interview, Varun Dhawan opened up about his father David Dhawan&rsquo;s revelations that he was upset due to Sidharth during the shoot of <em>Student Of The Year.</em> Reasoning why, Varun said, &ldquo;He was tall and wide, good looking, and there were two heroes in the film. At that time, I felt that he is amazing and looks handsome, so people will only watch him. Will people even notice me or not? What if my dream only stays a dream?&rdquo;</p>
<p>At first you&rsquo;d think that would be it but the insecurity was not just physical. There was also the debate of nepotism that bothered him. &ldquo;Moreover, the negativity around nepotism also started at that time. So during that time, I hadn&rsquo;t planned anything before I entered the industry, I only knew that I&rsquo;ve worked hard and I am deserving, but people were saying something else. The reception has not always been flowery, that&rsquo;s what people feel. But, I have had to fight that a lot. No matter what happens, I will keep fighting,&rdquo; Varun added.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Varun added, &ldquo;However, I had to fight it hard at that time through my performance and work. When my films started working, then that perception broke. Papa ne bhi baad mai kaam diya, par mai jitna bhi bol lu, logon ko vahi lagega.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Promising a true blue pan-India story, Maddock Films has now announced a new film titled <em>Param Sundari </em>which will centre on a love story between a North Indian boy and a South Indian girl. Directed by <em>Dasvi</em> fame filmmaker Tushar Jalota, the film will offer a fresh pairing in the new year – Sidharth and Janhvi. The two will be seen romancing each other on the screen for the first time. </p></p>
<p>The cross-cultural romance will hit theatres on July 25, 2025. </p>

<h2><strong>What we know about Param Sundari</strong></h2>
<p>The film is currently filming in Kerala. According to the official synopsis, the film “promises a heartfelt tale of love, where two worlds collide, and sparks are bound to fly. Set against the breathtaking backwaters of Kerala, this love story is a rollercoaster of laughter, chaos, and unexpected twists you won’t see coming.”</p>
<p>Announcing the film, Maddock chief Dinesh Vijan told Variety, “Its like those films that Mani-sir [Mani Ratnam] used to do like ‘Saathiya’ [the Hindi-language remake of Tamil drama-romance film “Alai Payuthey”]. The kind of music it has and Janhvi playing a South Indian is interesting, Sid’s playing a Northern Delhi boy and the conflict is very cool. It’s like maybe taking ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’ forward – there’s a high-tech idea in there. But we are going into the ‘Kantara’ world of sorts – we are going a little more than that.”</p>

According to the official synopsis, the film “promises a heartfelt tale of love, where two worlds collide, and sparks are bound to fly. Set against the breathtaking backwaters of Kerala, this love story is a rollercoaster of laughter, chaos, and unexpected twists you won’t see coming.” Announcing the film, Maddock chief Dinesh Vijan told Variety, “Its like those films that Mani-sir [Mani Ratnam] used to do like ‘Saathiya’ [the Hindi-language remake of Tamil drama-romance film “Alai Payuthey”]. The kind of music it has and Janhvi playing a South Indian is interesting, Sid’s playing a Northern Delhi boy and the conflict is very cool. It’s like maybe taking ‘Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya’ forward – there’s a high-tech idea in there. But we are going into the ‘Kantara’ world of sorts – we are going a little more than that.” Also read: Aamir Khan admits he was insecure about his height, had alcohol addiction Watch the announcement video here: For the unversed, Maddock released the film Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya.

Sidharth Malhotra's fan scammed of Rs 50 lakh, actor advises fans to be cautious

<p>Dear readers, the most generic movie of the year is here. <em>Yodha,</em> directed by Sagar Ambre and Pushkar Ojha is more predictable than the results of the upcoming general elections. It has Sidharth Malhotra leading the show, who gets a perfect platform to showcase the brawn and good looks in a patriotic film that wants peace on both sides of the border and blames the fundamentalists for making it 'business' out of terror. The hijack drama faces too much turbulence in the course of two hours&nbsp;and the landing of the story is equally bumpy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sidharth Malhotra plays Arun Katyal, a trained commando of a special task force called Yodha, which was formed by his late father (Ronit Roy in a cameo), who has a knack for not following orders. On one such mission, his impulsive decision to act quickly costs the nation the life of a treasured scientist. Arun's beloved Yodha task force gets dismantled and his marriage to his bureaucrat wife Priyamvada (Raashii Khanna) also hits rock bottom. Years later, Arun finds himself again on an aircraft that has been hijacked. But all isn't as clear as it should be. There's a helpful but mysterious air hostess (Disha Patani), a desi uncle, a curious trainee pilot, and a suspicious bearded man - all are suspects in Arun's eyes and before the plane heads towards its ultimate target in Islamabad - where India and Pakistan are holding peace talks - Arun has to clear his name, save the 200 passengers and the leaders of the two nations.&nbsp;<br />

Despite the multiple twists the writing is so predictable that you know how the story will pan out, which moment in the film will be used as a flashback later, which character will die, and who will go rogue. That's not ideal for a hijack thriller.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
When the writing fails to create thrills, the screenplay tosses the passengers and makes the plane go upside down just to create excitement.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Sidharth Malhotra gets to flex his muscles and look angsty at regular intervals. Malhotra's character Arun Katyal is perhaps the only character in the film that has been written decently. Malhotra's Katyal is a breaker of rules but a brave soldier who would go to any length to save his country. It's not a role that requires a lot of acting and Malhotra delivers his part well. Unfortunately, writer Sagar Ambre does not invest much time in defining other characters, so they all seem very disconnected from Arun - even though they are all integral to his story. Some of the actors have nothing to do in the film except look at the screen wide-eyed in horror or shock.<br />
<br />
The look of bewilderment is constant in the film. At regular intervals, each actor displays the same shocked expression looking far into the space or the monitor. It's like the director duo had a standard rule for all the actors on board that plane.&nbsp;</p>

Garbed as a patriotic film, <em>Yodha</em> then takes the middle path and blames the terrorists and the system instead of the two warring nations. The result is a middling film that only holds your attention in parts and mostly is so generic that you will forget it the moment you step out of the theatre. It has its staple love song, a line or two for the country and how it's a 'business' for terror outfits to create animosity between India and Pakistan - basically all the things that we have already heard and been shown in other films.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The moments pictured inside the aircraft when the hijack takes place still have a certain amount of thrill and mystery, but after a point become&nbsp;predictable and slightly incoherent.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Watch <em>Yodha </em>only if you are a fan of Sid Malhotra. He looks fine and fights single-handedly a building full of terrorists and comes out of a blast unscathed.&nbsp;</p>

Dear readers, the most generic movie of the year is here. Yodha, directed by Sagar Ambre and Pushkar Ojha is more predictable than the results of the upcoming general elections.

Dear readers, the most generic movie of the year is here. Yodha, directed by Sagar Ambre and Pushkar Ojha is more predictable than the results of the upcoming general elections. It has Sidharth Malhotra leading the show, who gets a perfect platform to showcase the brawn and good looks in a patriotic film that wants peace on both sides of the border and blames the fundamentalists for making it 'business' out of terror. The hijack drama faces too much turbulence in the course of two hours and the landing of the story is equally bumpy. Sidharth Malhotra plays Arun Katyal, a trained commando of a special task force called Yodha, which was formed by his late father (Ronit Roy in a cameo), who has a knack for not following orders. On one such mission, his impulsive decision to act quickly costs the nation the life of a treasured scientist. Arun's beloved Yodha task force gets dismantled and his marriage to his bureaucrat wife Priyamvada (Raashii Khanna) also hits rock bottom. Years later, Arun finds himself again on an aircraft that has been hijacked. But all isn't as clear as it should be. There's a helpful but mysterious air hostess (Disha Patani), a desi uncle, a curious trainee pilot, and a suspicious bearded man - all are suspects in Arun's eyes and before the plane heads towards its ultimate target in Islamabad - where India and Pakistan are holding peace talks - Arun has to clear his name, save the 200 passengers and the leaders of the two nations. Despite the multiple twists the writing is so predictable that you know how the story will pan out, which moment in the film will be used as a flashback later, which character will die, and who will go rogue.
