It's been an emotional night for many film folk across India, as they were honoured at the National Awards.
'We may not be perfect, but there are many like Inspector Mahima Basor who are trying to move bricks each day with their choices and their courage.'
If there is any actor who emerges from this wreck with his talent unscathed, it is Vijay Raaz, observes Deepa Gahlot.
Everything is over the top -- the style, the violence, the action. So nothing else matters, not gravity, bullets, or the presence of stalwarts like Naseeruddin Shah, observes Mayur Sanap.
A gleefully hammy Madhuri and Vidya's volley of death stares and evil laughs engage in a ruthless glamorous tug of war in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, notes Sukanya Verma.
Sukanya Verma captures everything Reema Kagti has created so far and where you can watch it.
Between tons of sexual innuendo and Kapil Sharma brand of slapstick gags characterised in loud caricatures, moronic behaviour, flimsy wigs and cartoonish rhythm, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video's jarring notions of exuberance have nothing novel to offer, groans Sukanya Verma.
'You have become a big star. How can you play a secondary role to Meena Kumari?'
May brought some respite with Rajkummar Rao-starrer Srikanth emerging as a surprise success.
Dark, disturbing and full of gore, Fateh is gung-ho in its efforts to make this stylised action yarn as brutal as possible, observes Mayur Sanap.
Dream Girl 2's understanding of womanhood boils down to her boobs, sighs Sukanya Verma.
Guru Dutt took an overdose of pills twice, once even swallowing opium, calling out for Geeta Dutt even when he was not fully conscious. One suicide attempt, according to sister Lalita Lajmi, was definitely deliberate with Guru Dutt leaving a letter for brother Atma Ram asking him to take care of the production company, his wife and the kids. But she always wondered if the third attempt was actually suicide since there were no calls and no letters.
Among the many reasons to watch Murder In Mahim is that it may be a chance to wipe out -- if it is achievable by a Web series -- the air of judgment towards those who do not conform to the majority's idea of normal, asserts Deepa Gahlot.
There is a lot more to Bollywood than the unguarded glimpses Showtime offers, observes Deepa Gahlot.
After their film Dream Girl 2 released in theatres, it was time for Ayushmann Khurrana and Ananya Panday to eat cake!

Now, here's a show that will show off the power struggles on and off the camera in the backstage areas of Bollywood.
Kathal has a fairly kooky premise, one that would fill up a half an hour sitcom in a bundle of studio laughs. But when stretched into a feature film, its whimsy slumps into awkward energy, observes Sukanya Verma.
Barah Aana is not as comical as the makers make it out to be. But it's worth a watch.

There's been so much interesting content on OTT. Subhash K Jha picks his Best Original Feature Films on digital platforms.
Chandu Champion is Kartik Aaryan's most ambitious work so far and the actor's muscular gusto is undeniable. There's visible fire in the man's belly but not enough soul, observes Sukanya Verma.
'The idea behind Kya Dilli Kya Lahore is to once again point out the futility of war as well as highlight why human comes before being. And Vijay Raaz accomplishes that to a reasonable extent in his first filmmaking effort,' says Sukanya Verma.
Kudos to Ayushmann for taking the risk and going by the trailer it's seems he has nailed the character to perfection. Guess we won't be surprised if he rules the award shows this year.
