Sanjay Mishra and Neena Gupta bring their A-game to roles that naturally suit their age, and this lived-in quality makes Vadh 2 even more convincing, notes Mayur Sanap.
Riteish Deshmukh's Shivaji may not be a flawless portrayal, but still remains engaging throughout, applauds Mayur Sanap.
Riteish Deshmukh brings earnestness to the role, but the gravitas of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj calls for a towering presence, resonant voice and sharp, piercing gaze, which are somewhat missing in Raja Shivaji, notes Mayur Sanap.
Bigger surprises and shockers await in Dhurandhar 2? Mayur Sanap trusts Aditya Dhar on this.
'The people who are outraging, they don't have any substantial argument. They are enraging over manufactured memes and manufactured figures.'

Mardaani 3 star Rani Mukerji celebrates 30 years in the film industry with a heartfelt conversation with Karan Johar.
Raat Akeli Hai 2 is watchable, but considering the strength of its predecessor, it could have been more engaging, with a greater sense of urgency and a sharper, cleverer story, notes Mayur Sanap.
This turgid drama, solely designed to titillate male audiences, move from one hare-brained scene after another with intermittent over-acting, ear-splitting background music, and over-the-top dialoguebaazi, sighs Mayur Sanap.
Aditya Dhar's penchant for action and high-pitched dramatic moments hover over Dhurandhar's teaser. And there shouldn't be any doubt that the director will deliver the goods, expects Mayur Sanap.
The sheer awfulness of Andaaz 2 really doesn't deserve anyone's time or attention, warns Mayur Sanap.
The jokes don't land. The one-liners fall flat. And worse, nobody from the well-stacked cast looks like they are having fun, observes Mayur Sanap.
'The money crunch will be there for people who are used to having a certain kind of remuneration.' 'Work opportunities are less, even for technicians who work in the industry.'
'When I meet someone and feel something, and start dreaming about a big wedding, I will...'
Vadh is watchable because of its terrific cast, notes Mayur Sanap.
'I chose to give priority to my personal life.' 'It's not like I didn't want to act but I guess with certain times in your life, you have to handle certain things.' 'I've had a couple of ups and downs, so I kept taking breaks.'
'A lot of people are famous. But for how long will you be there?' 'It changes after every three days of release, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.'
It was a hit and miss for some but each one of them revelled in the opportunity to showcase their talent.
'A struggling actor once came to me and told me there's no work.' 'I said when there's no work, that's when you have a lot of work.' 'He said he didn't understand.' 'I explained that you have to keep reading, watching, writing, traveling.' 'It is like riyaaz for an actor.'
Thanks to these wacky characters and the actors playing them, Murder Mubarak may be genuinely funny, expects Mayur Sanap.
'When my mom saw my performance in Dhoka, she loved it.' 'She said, "I don't know why I stopped you for so many years. Ab jaa beta, jee le apni zindagi".'
'The Zomato delivery guy wants to click a picture with you.' 'My car has gone for servicing so I ended up going in rickshaws and they recognise me from ads.' 'When I'm walking my dog, people stop by and say, "Oh, we loved you in Bigg Boss.' 'I was shooting for Housefull in a village and there, people were coming over and clicking pictures with me.'
'It looks like an overnight success but nothing happens overnight.' 'There's a lot of struggle, hard work and sacrifice.'
Merry Christmas brims with Sriram Raghavan's signature style and ample cheeky look-what-I-did-there moments.
'I joined Heeramandi's shoot right after completing Laapataa Ladies.' 'When I landed on the Heeramandi sets, I was like "Oh my God!" because this was for the first time I was seeing such a huge set in my life.'
'People had a perception that I may be angry as a person.' 'Or I'm older than I really am.' 'Or I can't speak in English because of the characters I've done at the beginning of my career.'
'You have to fight your own battles and I fought mine.'
'This is where I grew up. The only business I know is cinema.'

Farmers in Nashik district, Maharashtra - a major producer of onion - have started harvesting the premature crop to cash in on the high prices in mandis. Good-quality onion was quoted at Rs 93.50 a kg on the higher side. However, the poorest-quality onion was selling at Rs 25.50 a kg on Wednesday as against Rs 20 a kg on Tuesday. Thus, the model price of onion works out to Rs 70-75 a kg in Lasalgaon, translating into Rs 100-125 a kg in the retail markets of the country.
