Golmaal Never Again

Rohit Shetty’s Diwali offering, Golmaal Again, described as a horror comedy, is neither scary nor any kind of funny. But it does represent the worst of Bollywood. It’s time the franchise got an instant funeral.

In 2019, there is no reason that an unfunny, sexist film like Jabariya Jodi should get backed by a mainstream production house.

Namaste England Review: 2007 Called, Even They Don’t Want this Film Back

In Namaste England, Parineeti Chopra plays a UK-sexual. She abandons her husband, an expressionless Arjun Kapoor, to leave for London with a random man who can provide her citizenship. Nobody has said “Fuck it, I’m off to London” in such a rush since Vijay Mallya.

Love Shuv Tey Ayushmann Khurrana

Will Ayushmann Khurana forever be consigned to the category of the good-hearted but loserly boy-next-door? Or will Bollywood ever risk throwing him a proper challenge?
