<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.

<h2>WION's review of The Vvaan</h2><p>In WION's 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 in limited."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/the-vvaan-teaser-sidharth-malhotra-and-tamannaah-bhatia-s-film-blends-supernatural-horror-with-folklore-fantasy-1787668154939"><strong>The Vvaan teaser: The film blends supernatural horror with folklore fantasy</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It further concludes, "In brief, Vvaan is a very Ekta Kapoor's Tulsi Virani world, in which Sidharth has made his debut as the divine hero, and 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/vvan-sidharth-malhotra-tamannaah-bhatia-s-folklore-thriller-to-release-on-this-date-1774427356398"><strong>Sidharth Malhotra, Tamannaah Bhatia's Vvan to release on THIS date</strong></a></p><h2>About The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest</h2><p><i>The Vvaan: Force of the Forrest</i> is a fantasy folklore thriller that was released in theatres on September 25 (Friday).

Vvan: Sidharth Malhotra, Tamannaah Bhatia's folklore thriller to release on THIS date

<p>Tamannaah Bhatia has been announced as the new brand ambassador of century-old Karnataka Soaps and Detergents Ltd (KSDL).

It all started in May 2025, when the Karnataka government roped in the Mumbai-born Sindhi actress as the face of the soap brand. The news created a stir even back then, as many pointed out how the government had overlooked several well-known actresses from the Kannada film industry.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There were some users on social media who felt Deepika Padukone, raised in Bengaluru with roots in Karnataka, was a better choice for the brand.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Meanwhile, on Tuesday, all major newspapers carried full-page advertisements featuring Tamannaah as the KSDL brand ambassador. At an event held in Bengaluru, the actor launched 60 products comprising personal care and home care items.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h2>Minister defends the government’s decision</h2><p>As many social media users raised objections over Tamannaah’s new role, the large and medium industries minister, MB Patil, defended the state government’s decision. The state minister said that the actress was picked based on her merit, star value, business consideration,s and to push KSDL into a global FMCG brand.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>“We aim to spread KSDL’s products not only across India, but targeting international markets, including West Asia, the US and the UK. Earlier, I had categorically clarified why Tamannaah was chosen as the brand ambassador. A committee had considered five or six names, which included a few from Karnataka. But they had endorsed some other products. If you endorse some other product, you cannot be a brand ambassador for this product. So, they were rejected,” Patil told reporters in Bengaluru.</p>

<h2>What Tammannah said about her new role</h2><p>The actress, a popular face in South cinema as well as in Bollywood, was earlier the face of Chandrika Soaps in Kerala. She is now in a two-year contract with KSDL. Calling the association a ‘new chapter’ in her two-decade-long career in the film industry, the actress said, “Mysore Sandal is not a mere soap. It’s an emotion, childhood nostalgia and the truth of authenticity.

Tamannaah Bhatia denies involvement in alleged Rs 24 million cryptocurrency fraud: 'Fake, misleading, and false'

<p>Neeraj Pandey is credited with some incredibly sharp films that have remained iconic for years after their release. Pandey has the knack for making quintessential Bollywood thrillers engaging with his screenplay, plot line and technical finesse. Sure he has also had a few misfires but films like <em>A Wednesday, Special 26, Baby</em>, and <em>MS Dhoni </em>remain popular and relevant till now. His latest <em>Sikandar Ka Muqaddar </em>starts on a promising note and one almost finds Pandey's Midas&nbsp;touch to the narrative but somewhere through the course of 2 hours&nbsp;23-minute-long film. Starring Avinash Tiwary and Jimmy Shergill, the film is a heist drama that shows potential in the beginning to be an engaging story but becomes an exhausting watch by the end of it.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>The plot of <em>Sikandar Ka Muqaddar</em></strong></h2>

<p>It is a battle of egos between two men that forms the crux of the story. Investigating Officer Jaswinder Singh (Shergill) never quite got over the fact that his instincts about Sikandar (Tiwary) were not right regarding a diamond robbery. Back in 2009, at a diamond convention, diamonds worth Rs 5 crore (Rs 500 million) were stolen. IO Jaswinder was deputed to solve the case in 24 hours because of his successful track record. He rounded up three suspects, two employees of the store (including Kamini Singh played by Tamannaah Bhatia) from where the theft had taken place and computer technician Sikandar. Despite multiple court hearings, lack of evidence, and the three denying involvement, Jaswinder never was convinced.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
15 years later, as Sikandar and Kamini- now married- are living a comfortable life together, their past beckons. Having harboured resentment over his one wrong move for the past 15 years, Jaswinder now wants to apologise to Sikandar for labelling him as a thief but do it in person. As the two men meet, they dwell on the past 15 years and more revelations are made but does Jaswinder finally get a closure on the case? Is Sikandar truly innocent and if yes, who stole those diamonds on that fateful day?</p>

<h2><strong>What the film lacks</strong></h2>

<p>Heist films are more or less made on a similar framework. Where the thief outsmarts the investigator in most cases. While the audience knows who is the culprit, it is how the thief covers up his steps and bluffs the world that makes such films exciting and engaging. However, in the case of<em> Sikandar Ka Muqaddar, </em>the Tom-and Jerry-eseque chase soon loses the thrill element.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
There is just too much conversation and long-drawn scenes of Sikandar and his unending ordeal with life that take away the thrill from the heist film. You almost get impatient by the second half of the film, where despite the revelations and plot twists, the ordeals of the lead man never seem to end.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Pandey indulges the viewers with long take shots where the camera pans around the characters walking fast and looking busy and pacing from one end of the room to the room. The one-take shots where the camera hovers over the shoulder of the character are usually used to show urgency and make it more immersive for the viewers. But in this film's case, they are repetitive and seem to lead to nothing consequential. It only creates urgency for the moment but ultimately ends on a whimper.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
I was fully involved when the heist was shown at the beginning of the film. Much like the cops, I was curious to figure out who the culprit was. But I lost interest during Sikandar and Jaswinder's reunion after 15 years, as the two men reflected on the years gone by while sharing a drink. It is an important portion of the story yet it totally sucks the life out of the heist drama as the maker indulges in too many flashbacks.</p>

<p>Pandey's previous heist film – <em>Special 26</em> – was a sharp, smart movie that made people stay on the edge of their seats till the very end. Sikandar Ka Muqaddar, on the other hand, is far from being a thrilling watch. It is slow, and at some point, I feel Pandey doesn't know where to end the story so keeps adding more twists – some of which do not make sense.</p>

<p>Avinash Tiwary and Jimmy Shergill deliver earnest performances but have limited scope due to a half-hearted script. Tamannaah Bhatia delivers her part – although she has limited screen time.<br />
<br />
<em>Sikandar Ka Muqaddar</em> had the potential to be an engaging thriller but alas its director who also serves as the writer burdens it too much with unnecessary twists and drama.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The film&nbsp;is streaming on Netflix.&nbsp;</p>

Sikandar Ka Muqaddar review: Avinash Tiwary, Jimmy Shergill's film is not your usual heist thriller

<p>Tamannaah Bhatia recently sat down for a candid conversation with Raj Shamani for his podcast. During the chat, she opened up about heartbreaks in relationships and what she considers the biggest red flag when it comes to guys.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When asked about the biggest heartbreak in her life, she said, “I had two heartbreaks which were extremely important for my evolution. The first happened because I was very young. I think it came from a place where I felt like I wanted more. Just for that one person, I don't think that I could have given up many other things that I wanted. I felt like there was much more to see. Another heartbreak was that I could see that the person was not good for me… as an influence in my life and as a long-term partner.”</p>

<p>Talking about red flags, she said, “One of the red flags is liars. People who lie for small things. Like say this pen is something that you bought but it is gifted to you. The funny part is they lie for small things, not even a big thing… Then they will lie for everything."</p>

<p>When asked about relationship advice, she said, "Relationship advice? Main toh bolungi kisi ki na suno (Don't listen to anyone). I was told jo problem apko relationship ke absolute shuruat mein dikhe na (The problems you see in the beginning of the relationship) like in the first one or two weeks of the relationship, those problems will persist and they will become the roadblock in your relationship. I experienced something similar so it is true.”</p>

<p>The actress is currently dating Vijay Varma. They shared screen space in<em> Lust Stories 2</em> and their chemistry was loved by fans. After weeks of speculation, she confirmed her relationship with Vijay in June last year.</p>

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.

Stree 2 teaser: Tamannaah Bhatia joins Rajkummar Rao-Shraddha Kapoor horror comedy

<p>Maharashtra Cyber Wing has summoned Indian actress Tamannaah Bhatia for questioning in connection to the illegal streaming of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 matches on an application called Fairplay, a sister app of Mahadev&nbsp;betting app. The app has violated the broadcasting rights of Viacom 18 group, according to ANI report.<br />
<br />
Bhatia has been summoned for allegedly promoting the viewing of the IPL matches on the Fairplay betting app. She has been asked to appear before the Cyber Cell for questioning and record her statement as a witness on April 29.</p>

<p>According to reports, actor Sanjay Dutt's name too has emerged in connection with the case. He was to appear for questioning this week but due to his schedule, he could not appear and requested a new date.<br />
<br />
According to the news agency, the illegal streaming caused Viacom a loss of millions of rupees.<br />
<br />
Earlier, Bollywood singer and rapper Badshah and the managers of actors Sanjay Dutt and Jacqueline Fernandez were also quizzed by the Maharashtra cyber police for allegedly promoting the betting app and urging viewers to tune in on the application to watch the cricket matches.<br />
<br />
<strong>What's the case?</strong><br />
<br />
The case dates back to 2023 when Viacom 18 lodged an FIR and alleged that some of the IPL 2023 matches were illegally streamed on Fairplay, and many actors endorsed and promoted the betting application.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Viacom18 owns several television channels and the OTT platform, VOOT. In October 2021, its anti-piracy team learnt that there were seven apps—Pikashow, Foxi, Vedu, Smart Player Lite, Film Plus, Tea TV and Wow TV—that were illegally showing serials, reality shows and other content which are exclusive to Viacom 18 platform.<br />

Tamannaah Bhatia summoned for questioning over illegal streaming of IPL matches

<p>Tamannaah Bhatia looked like a doll as she recently stepped out wearing a soft pink gown by the luxury label Versace. The actress, who is known for her stunning looks, kept up with the Barbie theme that everyone is obsessed with these days.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tamannaah styled the dreamy dress in a very tasteful manner. Tamannaah's pastel pink outfit features satin fabric, draped jersey panels, a plunging neckline, a sleeveless design accented with Medusa '95 hardware on one shoulder and a striking thigh-high side slit.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She took to Instagram to share a couple of pictures of the dress. While the dress is fabulous, what caught our attention was the price tag attached to it. The gown by Versace is worth Rs 4.21 lakh ($5,063).&nbsp;</p>

Tamannaah Bhatia looked like a doll as she recently stepped out wearing a soft pink gown by the luxury label Versace. The actress, who is known for her stunning looks, kept up with the Barbie theme that everyone is obsessed with these days. Tamannaah styled the dreamy dress in a very tasteful manner.

Lust Stories 2 streaming on Netflix: Kajol And Neena Gupta steal the show

<p>When the first anthology <em>Lust Stories </em>came out in 2018 &nbsp;on Netflix, India was still getting used to anthologies in OTT space. Made by the famous quartet,&nbsp;Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap, Zoya Akhtar and Dibakar Banerjee,&nbsp;it had different stories that brought myriad complex issues of society to the fore. Five years since there have been multiple anthologies available in OTT space and so to make a sequel of <em>Lust Stories,</em> one must up the ante. Does it succeed though? Only in parts.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Netflix takes on board four directors R Balki, Konkona Sen Sharma, Sujoy Ghosh, and Amit Ravindernath Sharma to create four very distinct stories,&nbsp;with just physical needs and bodily desires as the only common factor running in all the stories. The four stories are of course not at the same level. Some show a lot of potential, and some meander and fizzle out by the end but that's how anthologies work. Some stories shine bright others don't.<br />
<br />
In R Balki's short <em>Veda</em> (Mrunal Thakur) and Arjun (Angad Bedi) are almost about to set the date for their wedding when their dreams are punctured by a pertinent question from Veda's grandma (Neena Gupta), "Did you take a test drive first?"</p>

<p>"Before buying a car you take a test drive, then before marriage why not take a test drive?" she argues much to the discomfort of the bride and groom's parents. And while the young couple pay heed to the grandmother's advice, it leads to an uncomfortable discussion between their parents who are left red-faced with the rather unusual brazen demand made by the eldest in the family. But Balki's film limits itself to just that and ends in a predictable way. Interspersed with some sexual innuendoes, where ejaculation is compared to Mount Fuji bursting, the short is more suggestive than how it initially appears to be. Thakur is natural in her role as Veda, who is ready to explore and test drive and is also equally amused by her granny, and scenes between Thakur and Gupta are the brightest. Gupta on the other hand gets the best lines but somehow isn't as impactful. Perhaps we have seen her playing the bold aged woman in far too many films by now to take this as a fresh casting.</p>

<br />
The finest story in <em>Lust Stories 2 </em>comes from a woman. Konkona Sen Sharma, who made the brilliant<em> Death In The Gunj,</em> has already established herself as an able director. Her short featuring Tillotama Shome and Amruta Subhash not just puts a smile on your face instantly but also brilliantly highlights the caste, and class divide in cities and also deftly handles female desires which are not restricted to any age group or class - as is perceived. Shome plays Ishita a rich, affluent but lonely corporate woman who one afternoon discovers her house-help (Subhash) humping a man on her bed. It is later discovered that the man is the maid's husband who sneaks out every afternoon from work to spend some quality time with his wife at the latter's employer's plush apartment. Ishita is shocked initially but eventually becomes a mute audience to the couple's intimate act - and then satiates her own desires in the process. All seem like a routine until one day the couple discovers they are being watched. Deftly handled, the short so intricately handles human emotions are desires and Shome and Subhas, both credible actors, put out defining performances making their story the most striking and memorable.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Sujoy Ghosh spins a thriller of sorts with lust as just a backdrop and takes Vijay Varma playing an extension of his character from last month's Dahaad. Here Vijay plays Vijay, a man who chats up with women on video while driving around in what seems like the beautiful countryside. While gazing at a woman strippin' on a video call, he rams his car to a tree outside a sleepy town. As he looks around for a mechanic, he ends up meeting Shanti (Tamannaah Bhatia) his ex-wife who disappeared one day10 years ago. Sparks fly almost immediately (it helps that the actors are dating in real life too) and they end up sleeping together even as they try to unravel their mysterious past. Ghosh gives a very interesting spin to the theme and makes the story completely 'hatke'. It's slick and shows off the great chemistry of the new couple of B Town- Tamannaaah and Vijay.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Director Amit Ravindernath Sharma's short is perhaps the gravest and most disturbing. The <em>Badhaai Ho</em> director takes the audience to a crumbling palace set near the river bank where a lecherous king (Kumud Mishra) forces himself every night on his wife, Chanda (Kajol). Her only hope is her son, whom she wants to send to England - away from their murky reality. But is Chanda completely helpless? Dynamics change when a new maid comes to work at their palatial home. The king now fancies the younger woman, a fact that Chanda is very well aware of. How she uses it for her own advantage forms the rest of the story. The film pairs up Kajol and Kumud Mishra for the first time. A complex story, the ending may leave many unsatisfied, but it also gives Kajol a completely new character to play- something that we have never seen her play. Does it work though? Only in parts because her character is not as well fleshed out as it could be and that limits her performance to a great level.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<em>Lust Stories 2 </em>shines in parts. While it brings forth issues like domestic violence, female desires, and the importance of talking about sex and sexual health before marriage ably in the four stories, it doesn't shine completely. It falls short in some stories while others shine bright. For me, Konkona's short was the highlight of the anthology which ably handles so many societal issues that exist in our cities. Where the gap between the rich and poor seem to be growing by the day, yet the primary human emotions and desires remain common for one and all.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<em>Lust Stories 2</em> boasts of a great ensemble cast&nbsp;and some of the actors are truly great in their respective parts. I wish all the stories left a defining impact on me, which it didn't.&nbsp;&nbsp;The anthology is streaming on Netflix.&nbsp;</p>

Lust Stories 2 review: Konkona Sen Sharma's short is the best of the lot

<p>Indian actress Tamannaah Bhatia recently got emotional when a fan surprised her at the Mumbai airport and showed a tattoo of her face on his arms. Tamannaah is a &nbsp;big star in the South Indian film industry and enjoys a huge fan following. While fans in India are known to go an extra length to prove their love for their favourite star, the actress was taken by surprise by this unique gesture.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
A video shared by a paparazzo account shows Tamannaah being approached by a fan as she exits the airport in Mumbai. The fan then shows her the tattoo and the actress looks visibly surprised and emotional. As they say bye to each other, the fan stops to touch her feet but Tamannaah instead gives a hug.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Fans had divided reactions to the fan’s gesture. Some of the comments on the post read, “I know tammanah since 13 years she is such a golden,” “<em>Tamana me koi khamand nhii dekho kese achy se mil rhy apne fen see</em>,(She doesn't have any arrogance, look how warmly she is greeting him)” “What the hell? <em>Tattoo banana hai toh parents ka banao</em>,(if you want to ink a tattoo make one of your parents)” and “Fans do it for their own publicity.”</p>

<p>On the work front, Tamannaah will be next seen in <em>Lust Stories 2</em> which co-stars actor Vijay Varma. The two met on the film sets last year and fell in love. It's only recently the two confirmed their relationship to the public. During an interview, while promoting their film, Tamannaah and Vijay were asked about the qualities they love about each other and something that annoys them. Tamannaah shared that she loved that Vijay made her feel safe, as no other actor ever has. “As actors, it’s important because it’s almost like jumping into something. With him around, I was not scared to say anything or emote. It was so easy and that’s something I love about him,” she shared. As for what annoys her, Tamannaah laughed and said, “I would want to annoy him.”<br />
<br />
Vijay shared that Tamannaah is ‘radiant’ as a person. “She is also extremely simple. As for the annoying factor, she has the biggest fanbase any actor has. She has a very loyal fanbase and that really annoys me,” he said, before adding in amusement, “She even has her own temple.”</p>

Some of the comments on the post read, “I know tammanah since 13 years she is such a golden,” “Tamana me koi khamand nhii dekho kese achy se mil rhy apne fen see,(She doesn't have any arrogance, look how warmly she is greeting him)” “What the hell?

Watch: Tamannaah Bhatia gets emotional as a fan tattoos her face on his arm

<p>A show on the complexities of modern life, exploring the dark side of the characters' bright world&nbsp;and finding what they really are and want in their lives, is something that we have seen multiple times. Amazon Prime's new show, <em>Jee Karda</em>, falls into this category. The eight-episode series is set in the city of dreams, Mumbai, where no one has time to dream, actually, and everyone is just chasing the clock. It tells the complex story of seven school friends who are in their 30s now and are facing challenges in their respective lives that they all were warned about years ago.</p>

<h2><strong>What's the show all about?</strong></h2>

<p>The series starts off with a group of seven children at a Christmas carnival at their school, where one of the pals suggests visiting the stall of a magician, who is also a face reader. The friends receive&nbsp;shocking predictions from the magician, who warns&nbsp;the group about things they should keep away from in future. The frame cuts, and now all of them are grown up and in their 30s at one of their friends, Sheetal's third wedding anniversary. Making the most of the moment, Rishab (Suhail Nayyar) proposes to his school girlfriend Lavanya (Tamannaah Bhatia). &nbsp;</p>

<p>The wedding preparations of Lavanya and Rishab kick-off and is the pole of the show around which the whole story revolves.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The other focus of the show is rock star AG the OG. Played by Aashim Gulati, Arjun is a Punjabi rockstar and enjoys a massive fan following. His only family is his friends and a single mother (Dolly Ahluwalia). While these three (Rishab, Lavanya, and AG) are the primary focus of the show, in between, the show also touches upon other characters,&nbsp;their fights, struggles, and hardships that they are going through in their respective lives.&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/oZcfiziPGVw" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>Sheetal (Samvedna Suwalka), who is a NIFT gold medalist and a top-class designer, is fighting to get a space for herself and her husband in the 2BHK apartment, where she's living with her in-laws and husband Sameer (Malhar Thakar). The other is Preet (Anya Singh), a stunning counsellor who is struggling to find an ideal mate for herself. Next on the list is Melroy (Sayan Banerjee), an openly gay man who is fighting with society's homophobic thought process and a toxic relationship. And the last one is Shahid, the underprivileged kid and one of the friends who has always been ignored.</p>

<p>While everything seems perfect in their lives, somewhere inside everyone is going through their own complexities, guilt, and confusion and the show keeps unravelling the stories.</p>

<h2><strong>What works and what does not?</strong></h2>

<p>The show doesn't have much to offer, and neither does it give a very strong message on friendship. The show catches your interest right away, but it fails to maintain the flow. Co-written by Arunima Sharma, Abbas Dalal, and Hussain Dalal, the story runs back and forth to give the audience a grasp of the individuals' past lives and help them relate to their current scenarios. As you get involved in&nbsp;the show, you might&nbsp;not be able to understand what's happening and where is the story heading.</p>

<p>In between, it seems like the writers and director got confused when it came to choosing the character they were going to explore. While the stories of Lavu, AG, and Shahid took all the focus, the other characters were left unexplored. For instance, Shahid, in the group of privileged and affluent kids, is the one who has always been ignored. He's an ordinary teacher and is living the most troubled life. His character had a good scope in the story.</p>

<p>The show deals with modern life's complications, relationship issues, childhood traumas, and everything in between, but there is something missing that makes the show incomplete.</p>

<h2><strong>The cast of the show</strong></h2>

<p>The performance of each character in the show is commendable. Tamannaah Bhati as Lavu is the highlight of the show, and she plays the character of the bossy girl with aplomb. Aashim Gulati, who has been in the headlines for his role as Salim in<em> Taj: The Reign of Revenge,</em> has again proven his acting talent as the hip-hop star. His character is entertaining&nbsp;and gripping, and wins every frame he's in. Other actors -&nbsp;Suhail Nayyar, Anya Singh, Samvedna Suwalka, Malhar Thakar, Sayan Banerjee, and Hussain Dalal - have done a decent job.</p>

<p>Sachin-Jigar's music brings modern and quirky charm to the show and sets the vibe of the series in the perfect way. All in all,&nbsp;<em>Jee Karda</em> is the type of show that ends on an annoying note with the question, "What's the motto behind this show?"&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Final verdict </strong>- The urban life set-up, peppy music, and cast make the show look good, but the script takes away all the fun.</p>

Jee Karda review: An overdramatic, unnecessarily dated friendship drama with a sprinkling of nice music

<p>Tamannaah Bhatia and Vijay Varma are officially dating. Putting endless rumours to rest, Tamannaah confirmed that she and Vijay fell in love on the sets of <em>Lust Stories 2</em>. The anthology film stars Tamannaah and Vijay together for the first time. Directed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma, Konkona Sensharma, R Balki, and Sujoy Ghosh – the anthology led to the two stars meeting each other for the first time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In an interview, Tamannaah said, “I don't think you can get attracted to someone just because they are your co-star. I have had so many co-stars. I think if one has to fall for someone, feel something for someone it’s definitely more personal, it’s nothing to do with what they do for a living, I mean that's not the reason why this would happen.”</p>

<h2><strong>"He's my happy place": Tamannaah Bhatia on Vijay Varma</strong></h2>

<p>Talking about Vijay, she said, &nbsp;“He is someone I really look up to. He is someone with whom I bonded very very organically. He is someone who came to me with all his guard down. Then, it became very easy for me to put all my guard down. With high achieving women, we have this problem, that we think we have to work hard for everything. When something is so simple and you don't have to walk on eggshells to just be yourself because I think in India we also have this that a woman has to change her entire life for someone. If you have to find a partner you might have to physically move or do so many things that serve that person’s understanding but I was like I have created a world for myself and here there’s a person who actually understood that world without me doing anything. He's a person who I care about deeply and yeah, he’s my happy place.”</p>

<h2><strong>How it all began</strong></h2>

<p>Their dating rumours surfaced after a video of them allegedly kissing at a New Year party in Goa started circulating on social media. Ever since then, the duo have maintained silence about their equation. They have, however, been spotted together on several occasions.</p>
