5 Years Of The ‘Masterpiece’
The day brings back so many fond memories. Lootera changed the general perception of Sonakshi Sinha not being a capable actress. She delivered an impeccably restrained and heartbreaking performance as Pakhi. Ranveer Singh, just 2 films old by then, proved his calibre with his controlled performance as Varun. Expressing with his eyes, using a low … Continue reading 5 Years Of The ‘Masterpiece’

Tiger Zinda Hai – A Surprisingly Good Sequel To A Terrible Film
Before we begin talking about Tiger Zinda Hai, let's talk about its predecessor: Ek Tha Tiger. The major problem I had with Ek Tha Tiger was that it was a love story disguised (and promoted) as a spy-thriller. And that too a boring, soulless and at times even cringe-worthy love story with a lead pair … Continue reading Tiger Zinda Hai – A Surprisingly Good Sequel To A Terrible Film
