<p>Can one ever brush off a murder? Despite the circumstances that may have led to the crime, once there's blood on one's hand, it's hard to wash it off. Something that Vijay Salgaonkar and his family are very aware of in Abhishek Pathak's 'Drishyam 2. The Salgaonkars may have gone scot-free for lack of evidence in the Sam Deshmukh murder case but seven years on, their lives have changed drastically.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Based on 2021 Jeetu Joseph's Malayalam hit by the same name, 'Drishyam 2' picks up seven years from when the first film - released in 2015- had finished. The Salgaonkars continue to live in Goa where Vijay is still a cinema-crazy man. His business of cable tv networks has only grown with him now successfully running a cinema hall and even dabbling in film production. He drinks more often though while his family- wife Nandini and daughters Anju and Anu deal with stress. Anju, the elder daughter till&nbsp;date suffers from seizures at the site of a police officer while Nandini feels suffocated thinking of the fateful night.</p>

<p>Things seem hunky dory from the outside even though the town they live in continues to gossip about that fate full night when top cop Meera Deshmukh's son was murdered.</p>

<p>Seven years later, an unexpected turn of events leads to the opening up of the case. There's a new IG in a town called Atul Ahlawat who is a 'mad' cop according to his juniors and knows the right tactics to extract the correct information.</p>

<p>The Salgaonkars are again called back to the police station for questioning and this time Vijay confesses to the murder. But is Vijay truly the killer?&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film takes time to establish itself. The first half an hour of the film is spent in introducing the various characters of the plot. While the remake sticks to the original template mostly, some scenes are added additionally, perhaps to suit the Hindi-speaking audience. I honestly did not find the first half of the film that engaging nor did I feel too invested in the story. But in the second half, the film truly shines. The writing is far more effective, when the pace of the story picks up, making it a deeply engaging narrative where you don't want to miss even the minutest details lest you miss out on an important clue.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The beauty of the 'Drishyam 2' story- originally written by Jeetu Joseph and adapted by Pathak and Upendra Sidhaye- is that it beautifully involves the audience in unraveling the plot. You know that the body of the deceased has finally been found and that Vijay has confessed to the crime yet you are keen to know what is going his ultimate fate because as he rightly tells his film's writer, 'Audiences don’t like their hero going to jail at the end,' revealing that there is more to the story that a mere confession to a ghastly crime.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Much like its original, 'Drishyam 2' too also boasts of good performance from its actors. Ajay Devgn delivers a restrained but lucid performance as the smart, sharp Vijay Salgaonkar who with his brain could have ruled the world but instead chose to protect his family and provide them with a comfortable role. Devgn portrays Vijay with absolute ease- making him an extension almost of himself. The actor holds the film together, even though some patchy scenes in the first half. Complementing him are actors Akshay Khanna, Tabu, and Shriya Saran in their respective roles. Special mention for actress Ishita Dutta who in her limited screen time presents the vulnerable traumatized Anu well.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
For many, who have watched the original film in 2021, 'Drishyam 2' may appear to be repetitive. For the purist, it may come across as just another remake, but Abhishek Pathak's film works - as a remake and as a stand-alone sequel of a hit Hindi film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film retains almost all its original actors and is truly a sequel of a thriller and not just a shoddy extension of the same universe. The story goes forward about redemption, about finding closure on a case that has left two families scarred forever. The film shines mostly for its writing as it sets a perfect example of how a sequel should be made ideally.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Don't miss 'Drishyam 2' even if you have watched the remake. It is a worthy sequel and a credible remake with terrific writing. Drishyam 2 releases in theatres on November 18.&nbsp;</p>

'Drishyam 2' review: Ajay Devgn, Tabu's film is a textbook example of how a sequel should be made

<p>With just two days left for Ajay Devgn's 'Drishyam 2' to hit the big screens, the excitement around the film is high. Fans who had loved the 2015 film 'Drishyam' have been eagerly waiting for the sequel ever since.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The whodunnit thriller featured Ajay Devgn, Shriya Saran, Tabu, Ishita Dutta, and Rajat Kapoor in key roles. An edge-of-the-seat thriller, 'Drishyam' was based on a Malayalam thriller of the same name. The original featured Mohanlal.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
When the Hindi remake of the Malayalam hit was released in 2015, the film fared well at the box office. According to reports, the film had garnered over US$1.9 million in seven weeks of its run in the theatres.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film, directed by the late filmmaker Nishikant Kamath, was well received not just by the audience but also critics.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Seven years on, a lot has changed in terms of how the audience views films.<br />
<br />
<strong>Will 'Drishyam 2' be able to create magic at the box office?</strong><br />
<br />
The sequel of the film is also a remake of the Malayalam film 'Drishyam 2' which was released in 2021 and starred Mohanlal in the lead. The story picks up six years after the fateful night of October 2 when Vijay Salgaonkar (Devgn) and his family's life changed forever. However, in a recent interview, Devgn stated that the Hindi film is not an exact remake of the Malayalam film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"There were a lot of characters added, and a lot of changes made. You won't see Akshaye's (Khanna) character in the (Malayalam) film or Gaitonde (Kamlesh Sawant). So, a lot of changes have been made but like Abhishek (Pathak, the director) said, keeping the soul of the film intact. So, I think, when you see the film, it's going to be very fresh for you."&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'Drishyam 2' comes at a time when several remakes in Bollywood have failed to create an impression amongst the viewers as well as at the box office. '<br />
Shahid Kapoor’s 'Jersey', Hrithik Roshan-Saif Ali Khan’s 'Vikram Vedha', and Aamir Khan’s 'Laal Singh Chaddha' were some of the top-billed films that failed to create any mark at the box office.&nbsp;</p>

If one goes by the advance sales of tickets, the response to the 'Drishyam 2' seems to be heartening.

Amid box office failures, will Ajay Devgn's 'Drishyam 2' be accepted by the audience?

<p>This is not a drill. Kareena Kapoor Khan, Tabu and Kriti Sanon have been cast together in a film called 'The Crew' which will be produced by Ekta Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor. The two producers had last backed another female-centric project in 2018- 'Veere Di Wedding' which also featured Kareena Kapoor Khan along with Sonam Kapoor, Shikha Talsania and Swara Bhaskar.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
'The Crew' will talk about the hectic, struggling airline industry and will be helmed by Rajesh Krishnan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Announcing her association with the project, Tabu wrote in an Instagram post, "Excited for a new and crazy journey with Kareena Kapoor, Kriti Sanon for Rhea Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor's next. Directed by Rajesh Krishnan. Shoot begins February 2023."</p>

Ajay Devgan, Tabu’s ‘Drishyam 2’ gets a release date, fans say ‘can't wait’   

<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>

<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 />

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>

<p><img alt="k" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="075da518-24cf-4224-b896-1f244370d761" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20-%202022-05-20T125105.916.jpg" /><br />
<br />
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>

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. 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. Actors like Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra, and Ashwini Kalsekar are wasted in roles that are supposed to provide laughs but instead provide more cringe. 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. '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. Maybe it's time to lock that door and let Majulika rest in peace once and for all.

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

<p>On Monday several news reports suggested that Bollywood actor <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/kartik-aaryan">Kartik Aaryan</a> has walked out of Aanand L Rai's film. Aaryan has been in the news lately. He first exited Karan Johar's 'Dostana' and later quit 'Freddie' a film being produced by Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On Tuesday, Rai's production banner Colour Yellow Productions cleared the air and stated that they were still in talks with Aaryan over a project and nothing had been finalised.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Various media reports on Monday claimed that the 30-year-old actor had lost Rai's gangster drama film to Ayushmann Khurrana.<br />
Calling the stories "baseless", the production house said they are in talks with both Aaryan and Khurrana for different projects.<br />
<br />
"These are baseless rumours. We've met Kartik for a different film and we're still talking. We've taken another film altogether to Ayushmann and this is a complete mix up," spokesperson for Colour Yellow Productions said in a statement.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In May, rumours suggested that Aaryan had been dropped from <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-after-dostana-2-kartik-aaryan-now-drops-out-of-red-chillies-film-387776">Dharma Production's 'Dostana 2'</a> due to 'unprofessionalism'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Later an official statement from the production was issued which did not divulge the reason Aaryan's quitting the film but talked about recasting. "Due to professional circumstances, on which we have decided to maintain a dignified silence - we will be recasting 'Dostana 2', directed by Collin D'Cunha. Please wait for the official announcement soon," the statement from Dharma read.<br />
<br />
The film also features Janhvi Kapoor and newcomer Lakshya.<br />
<br />
Over the weekend, reports surfaced that &nbsp;Arayan is having creative differences with 'Freddie' director Ajay Bahl and has decided to walk out of the project.<br />
<br />
Aaryan, however, has not issued any statement regarding his exit from the big banner projects so far.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
He will be next seen in Ram Madhvani's 'Dhamaka' which will release on Netflix.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
He also has Anees Bazmee's 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' co-starring Tabu and Kiara Advani. The film's shooting came came to a halt amid the second wave of coronavirus pandemic in India. It is unclear when the crew will resume shooting again.&nbsp;<br />

<p>Luv Ranjan, who serves as the writer and producer of ‘De De Pyaar De’ has made a name for himself by making comedies where the men are portrayed as the victims and women as conniving manipulative gold diggers. His biggest film ‘Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety’ was termed by many as misogynist in nature. In his latest, starring stalwarts Ajay Devgn, Tabu and Rakul Preet Singh, the trope is the same but Ranjan makes the women deliver the lines on behalf of the gullible, innocent man.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Directed by Akiv Ali, the film has Ajay Devgn playing investment banker Ashish living in London who finds himself falling for Ayesha (Rakhul Preet Singh) who is half his age. After the initial hesitation where the two try to work their way around their own mental blocks and prejudices, they profess their love for each other and start living in. All is hunky-dory until Ashish decides to make Ayesha meet his estranged wife Manju (Tabu) and his two grown-up kids living in India.</p>

<p>As they reach India, Ashish realises that things are not so smooth as he would think they are and his family does have some issues of accepting his new girlfriend who is just a year older than his own daughter.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="d" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="42aa0ef8-c7b0-4b0b-8acf-fae35bbe68f7" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/Untitled%20design%20-%202019-05-17T144752.003.jpg" /></p>

<p>The casting of the film is quite appropriate and it refreshing to watch Devgn play a character his age. For an industry where men have longer shelf life than the woman and where films normalise 50 plus heroes romancing actresses half their age- 'De De Pyaar De' indeed makes a refreshing change where the lead protagonists address the age-gap in great detail. &nbsp;But the writing is such, that the said age-gap is only spoken about, Ayesha and Ashish never really have anything generational gap in terms of their likes, dislikes, and behaviour. For a 50-year-old, Ashish is in fact too fit and strangely hangs out with people half his age most of the time. But this is really a minor glitch in comparison to the way writers justify one-night stands and make the man- as usual- the victim of situations.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film ultimately succumbs to Luv Ranjan's school of misogyny where the man, despite being a terrible husband and a father, is not really at fault for cheating his partner or having a one night stand. At the very beginning of the film, Singh's character says to Devgn, 'If sleeping with a person cant make you fall in love with him instantly, how can a one night stand make you fall out of love?'- which sort of makes Ranjan and team seem okay about cheating. Also, the writers cleverly make the woman speak on behalf of the man. 'It's not right to blame him always for everything,' claims the wife at a poignant moment. Or that even if he has had a one night stand, it was only because the woman was weak and he was there to support her. Some bizarre logic from LUV Ranjan school of love!&nbsp;</p>

<p>On one hand, the makers harp on normalising an older man- younger woman relationship, on the other hand, they compare the older woman to a not-in-use old car which is well, to say the least.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tabu, like always, shines the most in the film that is pitched as a comedy but turns bland quite early. Give her any role, and she delivers. Be it the scene where she breaks down complaining that she is tired of being the responsible one all the time, or the scene where she play-acts just to make Singh's character jealous- Tabu is pitch perfect. Singh has immense screen presence and delivers a sharp performance but her character is tad over-written and the constant exuberance in the first half is exhaustive after a point. The ladies get better fleshed out roles, and Devgn appears hapless in the entire second half. Jimmy Shergill gets a delightful cameo and along with Tabu almost steals the show.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Unlike other Luv Ranjan films, 'De De Pyaar De' fortunately doesn't make the women gold diggers and lets them have a mind of their own. But it still is problematic for several other aspects.&nbsp;</p>

'De De Pyaar De' review: Thank god for Tabu!

<p>Somewhere after the interval, a scene in 'Bharat' has its leading man Salman Khan walking the streets of Malta with friend and confidante Vilayti (Sunil Grover) and wondering about his journey so far. A bit overwhelmed by the view, Bharat reminisces about the years have gone by and says, 'So much I have seen, sometimes I feel I am living a dream,' as his friend nods in agreement. The line perhaps sums up how director Ali Abbas Zafar, who also serves as the writer of the film, weaves an exhaustive story keeping in mind the nation's sentiments but not so much logic.&nbsp;</p>

<p>An official adaptation of South Korean film 'Ode To My Father', Zafar narrates the story a principled, do-gooder Bharat, who along with his family has had to shift to Delhi and take refuge at his aunt's house during partition. While boarding the train from Attari at the time of independence, his father had asked Bharat to take his mother and siblings to Delhi and wait at Hind Store, owned by his aunt as the patriarch of the family ran off to look for his lost daughter. His parting words to the young Bharat was that he would meet the family at the store in a few days.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Days turn into months and then to years- as Bharat and his family wait for their father and sister to return but no avail. Meanwhile, a newly independent India slowly comes to term with its freedom and the responsibilities that come with it. Bharat grows up doing odd jobs along with his best friend Valayti till they decide the join the Russian circus where Bharat is a motorcyclist performing daredevil stunts. Things are hunky dory until one day an accident forces Bharat to re-assess his career choice and eventually leave the circus to join a more stable job. Valayti and Bharat then join the oil field- part of the Indian envoy there where he meets officer Kumud (Katrina Kaif) a strong headed, no-nonsense girl and the two fall in love.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Zafar tries to narrate parallelly the highlights of each decade with references to unemployment in the 60s, to the discovery of oil in the Arab states, to India winning the world cup in 83, to even rise of SRK and liberalisation in the early 90s. Each decade had its challenges and triumphs much like Bharat's personal life.&nbsp;</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ea_GKoe81GY" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>Mounted on a grand scale, Zafar tries to incorporate the look and feel of each decade pretty well and while the adaptation Indianises a few of its plot points, the premise of the film remains the same as that of the original where Bharat bound by duties and the promise that he had made to his father, sacrifices own happiness to make his family live a good life. But while the emotional quotient of the story is high, the film also has obscure scenes which completely play to the gallery.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Of course, any Salman Khan movies will have its usual trappings as the star overrides the script, as in some scenes, Bharat breaks into monologues about desh, desh bhakti and nationalism arbitrarily. Like a scene where Bharat breaks into a long monologue about earning in dollars to improve the country's economy and then even sings the national anthem in front of an employment officer or the scene where he tries to compare Africa and India (continent and country) as both poor nations and then breaks into a dance to impress the pirates on board a ship he works in. Such scenes are of course written to bring in the needed lump in the throat, make one feel proud of the country etc- and they completely play to the gallery.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Yet, despite a whole of illogical plot points, (he is not shown to study yet manages to find high paying jobs that require some degree at least) 'Bharat' works for its emotional quotient and how it deals with partition. Zafar does not take sides, instead highlights the pain that millions endured due to the partition and how till date people yearn for their loved ones who they had to leave behind years back. The film redeems itself purely on that basis- on how it captures these sentiments.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Salman Khan, of course, remains the star and lines, scenes are written keeping in mind his persona. But it is Katrina Kaif and Sunil Grover who perform and ably support the narrative. Over the past year, Katrina Kaif has clearly come into her own and now holds her own in big budget films. She shined in 'Zero' and in 'Bharat'too she is a revelation- making Kumud a joy to watch. She is strong willed, ahead of her times and Kaif plays the character perfectly. Grover, who has created a niche in comedy on TV, gets a meaty role as the faithful best friend and doesn't disappoint.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The other actors, Jackie Shroff, Sonali Kulkarni, Tabu, Nora Fatehi, and Disha Patani have limited screen time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>So does 'Bharat' work? Yes, it has its usual trappings, you see a 70-year-old Salman taking on goons alone and coming out of it unscathed, you see him flexing his muscles ever so often, but the film's story evokes emotions and weaves an emotional tale of a man who eventually learns to let go. It may be exhaustive, but still worth a watch.&nbsp;</p>


Somewhere after the interval, a scene in 'Bharat' has its leading man Salman Khan walking the streets of Malta with friend and confidante Vilayti (Sunil Grover) and wondering about his journey so far.

Somewhere after the interval, a scene in 'Bharat' has its leading man Salman Khan walking the streets of Malta with friend and confidante Vilayti (Sunil Grover) and wondering about his journey so far. A bit overwhelmed by the view, Bharat reminisces about the years have gone by and says, 'So much I have seen, sometimes I feel I am living a dream,' as his friend nods in agreement. The line perhaps sums up how director Ali Abbas Zafar, who also serves as the writer of the film, weaves an exhaustive story keeping in mind the nation's sentiments but not so much logic. An official adaptation of South Korean film 'Ode To My Father', Zafar narrates the story a principled, do-gooder Bharat, who along with his family has had to shift to Delhi and take refuge at his aunt's house during partition. While boarding the train from Attari at the time of independence, his father had asked Bharat to take his mother and siblings to Delhi and wait at Hind Store, owned by his aunt as the patriarch of the family ran off to look for his lost daughter. His parting words to the young Bharat was that he would meet the family at the store in a few days. Days turn into months and then to years- as Bharat and his family wait for their father and sister to return but no avail. Meanwhile, a newly independent India slowly comes to term with its freedom and the responsibilities that come with it. Bharat grows up doing odd jobs along with his best friend Valayti till they decide the join the Russian circus where Bharat is a motorcyclist performing daredevil stunts. Things are hunky dory until one day an accident forces Bharat to re-assess his career choice and eventually leave the circus to join a more stable job. Valayti and Bharat then join the oil field- part of the Indian envoy there where he meets officer Kumud (Katrina Kaif) a strong headed, no-nonsense girl and the two fall in love. Zafar tries to narrate parallelly the highlights of each decade with references to unemployment in the 60s, to the discovery of oil in the Arab states, to India winning the world cup in 83, to even rise of SRK and liberalisation in the early 90s. Each decade had its challenges and triumphs much like Bharat's personal life. Mounted on a grand scale, Zafar tries to incorporate the look and feel of each decade pretty well and while the adaptation Indianises a few of its plot points, the premise of the film remains the same as that of the original where Bharat bound by duties and the promise that he had made to his father, sacrifices own happiness to make his family live a good life. But while the emotional quotient of the story is high, the film also has obscure scenes which completely play to the gallery.

<p>The first look of Mira Nair's much talked about web series 'A Suitable Boy' is out. Featuring Ishaan Khatter and Tabu, the photo has the two in what appears to be in a courtyard of sorts of a vintage bungalow. In the image, Khatter looks mesmerized by Tabu who gently seems to hold Ishaan's face while the two are perched on a swing.&nbsp;</p>

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2: Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani welcome Tabu on board

<p>The annual Indian Film Festival of Melbourne awards 2019 took place last night at the iconic Palais Theatre in Melbourne.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Zoya Akhtar's 'Gully Boy' walked away with the Best Film honour, whereas Vijay Sethupathi won the Best Actor for his widely acclaimed performance in Tamil film 'Super Deluxe' and Tabu was named Best Actress for her performance in 'Andhadhun'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After winning the award, an ecstatic Zoya said, “I am so excited. I am not going to forget this evening. This is my first award in the capacity of a producer. 'Gully boy' was our first production. This is a good start. No one makes a movie alone and this wouldn’t be possible without my producers, my co-writer, my incredible actors and every member of my cast and crew. 54 invincible artists worked on this album. I owe this night to all of them.”</p>

<p>Upon receiving her award, Tabu said, “It’s my first time in Australia but I will remember it for the rest of my life. Thank you, Sriram for writing this for me. &nbsp;This character is a catalyst for change of roles for women that are being written and will be written in future. Thank you for trusting me with this character”.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Additionally, IFFM honoured Shah Rukh Khan - the &nbsp;'Excellence In Cinema' award. The effervescent star said, “Awards are odd because to me an art form is judged for its quality feels counter-intuitive. Art is an expression and cinema is the ability to create emotions and share experiences through stories. To be an actor is to live to know that each one is a mere illusion. When you are making a movie you can change a lot by changing the angle of the light and it strikes you that life is a lot like that as well. It’s the simple things that can alter your journey and pondering makes your story worth telling. It’s not the awards you get, it’s just the part of creating a process that is an exhilarating experience for an artiste.”</p>

<p>Karan Johar spoke on two decades of his debut movie, 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', “I am here today only because of 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'. I can’t believe I actually became a filmmaker. My parents thought I am too emotionally fragile for the movie business. Two men who had faith in me more than I had on myself are Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan. Adi said I am melodramatic and thus I should be a filmmaker. SRK is bhai for me because over the years the friendship went into family and at some point, it transformed into sibling love. I don’t have siblings of my own but he is the older brother I never had, looking out for me at every step. During DDLJ shoot, he promised me that if I became a filmmaker he will work with me. He kept his word and in October 1997, I started the schedule of the film”. &nbsp;Johar was honoured with a special award as his iconic film completed 20 years.&nbsp;</p>

IFFM Awards 2019: 'Gully Boy', 'Andhadhun' win top honours, Tabu, Vijay Sethupathi get acting awards

<p>On August 8, the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne kickstarted their tenth-year celebrations with a star-studded&nbsp;press conference that took place on Thursday morning at Melbourne’s Central Business District. The award-winning film festival opened in the presence of Bollywood’s who’s who, amidst much frenzy and fanfare.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Taking charge of the event, Mitu Bhowmick Lange, director of the festival introduced the programs of the festival. Given that the list includes names like Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar and Tabu, none of who require an introduction, the excitement in the air was palpable. &nbsp;Martin Foley, Minister for Creative Industries for the Victorian Legislative Assembly, was present at the do.</p>

<p>Khan, the guest of honour at the festival was received with great love by the audience. The superstar, who has earlier shot 'Chak De! India' in the city, eloquently spoke about how much the place means to him.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In his trademark charm, he quipped, “Many years ago in 2006-07, I came here when I was a rising superstar giving hit films after hit films. And now I am back here again, still, a rising superstar not making as many hit films (chuckles), as much as I would want to do so. I thank everyone for the opportunity to speak here. When I was shooting for 'Chak De' in the city, I used to play Trivial (a game) with crew members on set. Because of being an Indian film actor, we often feel localised. It’s thus heartening that because of the Indian diaspora - the second generation of Indians here (people like Mitu) Indian cinema is getting noticed. It’s extremely gratifying and makes every Indian proud. I speak for everyone on the dais today, that we are happy to be here.”</p>

Witty and sharp as always Khan’s energy was matched by long time collaborator and dear friend Karan Johar. As their wise cracks entertained audiences, they also spoke about the overarching theme of courage.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Karan said, “I have to start by thanking Mitu who has been such a strong force right through the festival. It’s not the films but the people behind the festival who make it what it is. When I see this fantastic panel and we say the theme is courage, I say the panel is reflective of the glorious courage of our films and changing face of Indian cinema. It represents three feature films that have changed the way we look at Indian cinema and how it has travelled across the globe and will continue to do so. There is 'Super Deluxe', 'Andhadhun' and 'Gully Boy'. All of these have appealed not only to the diaspora but to international audiences across the globe, making Indian cinema so proud. And what to say about Shah Rukh Khan, he fully represents super stardom. I firmly believe, in the era we belonged to, the term is understood because of him. It’s not just about his large heart but his tremendous presence and aura. The fact that he is an outstanding actor is hugest icing on the cake. I look forward to my time here and all the selection of movies is on point and resonant with the theme of courage.”</p>

On August 8, the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne kickstarted their tenth-year celebrations with a star-studded press conference that took place on Thursday morning at Melbourne’s Central Business District.

On August 8, the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne kickstarted their tenth-year celebrations with a star-studded press conference that took place on Thursday morning at Melbourne’s Central Business District. The award-winning film festival opened in the presence of Bollywood’s who’s who, amidst much frenzy and fanfare. Taking charge of the event, Mitu Bhowmick Lange, director of the festival introduced the programs of the festival. Given that the list includes names like Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar and Tabu, none of who require an introduction, the excitement in the air was palpable. Martin Foley, Minister for Creative Industries for the Victorian Legislative Assembly, was present at the do. Khan, the guest of honour at the festival was received with great love by the audience. The superstar, who has earlier shot 'Chak De! India' in the city, eloquently spoke about how much the place means to him. In his trademark charm, he quipped, “Many years ago in 2006-07, I came here when I was a rising superstar giving hit films after hit films. And now I am back here again, still, a rising superstar not making as many hit films (chuckles), as much as I would want to do so. I thank everyone for the opportunity to speak here. When I was shooting for 'Chak De' in the city, I used to play Trivial (a game) with crew members on set. Because of being an Indian film actor, we often feel localised. It’s thus heartening that because of the Indian diaspora - the second generation of Indians here (people like Mitu) Indian cinema is getting noticed. It’s extremely gratifying and makes every Indian proud. I speak for everyone on the dais today, that we are happy to be here.” Witty and sharp as always Khan’s energy was matched by long time collaborator and dear friend Karan Johar. As their wise cracks entertained audiences, they also spoke about the overarching theme of courage. Karan said, “I have to start by thanking Mitu who has been such a strong force right through the festival. It’s not the films but the people behind the festival who make it what it is.

<p>The Jodhpur bench of the Rajasthan High Court on Monday issued fresh notices to film stars Saif Ali Khan, Sonali Bendre, Tabu and Neelam Kothari on an appeal by the state government, challenging their acquittal by a trial court in a case of hunting two black bucks in 1998.<br />
<br />
Notice was also issued to local Dushyant Singh who accompanied the actors when the poaching took place in Kankani village near Jodhpur in October 1998.<br />
<br />
Bollywood actor Salman Khan is the sole accused who was convicted in the case. The trial court had sentenced him to five years in jail on April 5 last year, while acquitting the five other co-accused. Khan is presently out on bail.<br />
<br />
A single judge bench of justice Manoj Kumar Garg issued notices to the respondents seeking their reply within eight weeks.<br />
<br />
Earlier, the high court had on March 11 issued notices to the five respondents on the state government's appeal challenging their acquittal in the case.<br />
"Of these, notices to Saif and Sonali could not be served. Considering this, the court issued fresh notices to them seeking reply in 8 weeks," said government counsel Mahipal Bishnoi.<br />
<br />
After the five files their replies, the state's appeal would be sent back to the session court for further hearing as the first appeal to a magisterial court judgement lies in the sessions court, explained Bishnoi.<br />
<br />
The state had come to the high court after the sessions court had taken objections to the late filing of the appeal by the state government, he said.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
Salman Khan has already challenged his conviction before the sessions court, which is presently hearing the defence arguments in his appeal.&nbsp;</p>
