Aarya has been renewed for three seasons, which paints a good picture of the Ram Madhvani show. This crime drama thriller set in Rajasthan about the narcotics business in which families get embroiled is probably one of the best shows in the above-mentioned genre. There is a lot to take away from Aarya when it comes to the subject matter of the show and the technicalities. Ram Madhvani’s direction is impeccable, and that has kept the show engaging so far. Just like Aarya, there are many shows that touch upon the crime thriller genre and explore the theme of dysfunctional families.

Four More Shots, Please! Season 3(Amazon Prime)
Directed by Joyeeta Patpatia
Unalloyed fun… the sassy quartet is back with a bang. Many bangs, actually, considering the predominance of carnal activities. No harm in that. Anjana(Kirti Kulhari), Siddhi(Maanvi Gagroo), Umang(Bani J), and Damini(Sayani Gupta) have a healthy appetite for the good things in life, including sex. They are not apologetic about their hedonism, or afraid to fall flat on their face when their heels can’t balance their drinks.
What to do? Sometimes, no , make that very often times, things don’t go according to plan. Of the four characters Siddhi is the most adroitly etched. She is a rich spoilt brat and she makes no bones about it. There is a marginally captivating subplot about Siddhi’s lately-widowed mother and her…errrr… golden vagina. Every middle aged man in the neighbourhood wants to woo her.And her golden spot.

"After reading the script, I was skeptical about how will they position something that's palatable but at the same time make a bold statement? Another big concern for me was the fact that I had to play a mother. I wasn't ready for this and I had the fear of being typecast into that role, which has been quite prevalent in the industry," Kirti said.
"I kept questioning whether I should take the plunge and play a role, which could probably change my image and affect the type of work or opportunity that could come my way.

In order to give the series a cinematic feel, the makers, Manor Rama Pictures, shot in real life locations like Manali and also created several elaborate sets in Mumbai.
“We shot for over a month in Manali. The actors have worked extremely hard and trekked up and down the mountains; there were times when there was no access to cars or buses and everyone adjusted so much. Each and every actor on the show has been so diligent, from being ready on time in the freezing cold to giving top notch performances regardless of the temperatures.

"The film has not done well. The opening weekend has made between Rs.1.25 crore and Rs.1.5 crore. The concept was very different and didn't get accepted. The hero and heroine meet only at the end of the film, which is something that the traditional audience will not accept," trade analyst Komal Nahta told Ians.
Starring Abhay and Preeti Desai, the movie has been co-produced by Viacom 18.
"There was less buzz, promos were not exciting and music was not well promoted. It's done pretty bad,".

It takes a while to figure out why this deliciously yummy concoction about urban aspirations is called "One By Two". And it would be a crime more criminal than character assassination to tell you why the two main characters in the film never meet till the closing moments.
This is a film that wears its heart on its sleeve. And it doesn't roll up that sleeve when the narrative is endangered by uncomfortable twists of circumstances. Devika Bhagat loves her protagonists Samara and Amit, quirks, excesses, flatulence and all.
The urban fable constructs Samara and Amit's dreams as a spiral of frustrations. We really don't.

One of our favorite and well, my favorite Ost’s if you read my 4 star review, so far this year, has been Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy’s aka Sel’s music for Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s tale of the inspiring winning life of Milkha Singh starring Farhan Akhtar. With an eclectic and very cool mix of sounds, flavors, genres, notes and voices they have created a fabulous set of songs for the film. Fans loved the tracks just hearing them when the Ost first released and could not wait to see how they played out on screen. As happens, many times, you can love a song just hearing it but once you see it in the film, you love it even more and that is true of Bmb.

Their last gift to the world should be as close to perfection as possible, especially when it comes from one of the great and most-loved directors of Indian cinema. Jab Tak Hai Jaan is the final film by Yash Chopra, who passed away a few weeks before its release.
Shahrukh Khan plays Samar Anand, a Indian Army officer, who is part of the bomb disposal team. He has an off-chance meeting with Akira (Anushka Sharma), an intern for National Geographic, who discovers his diary, and begins reading it, which tells his story of his life in London,...

A Love without life, or a life without love? Time is the strongest tests of relationships? Or something like that! Through Dil Toh Paagal Hai, Yash Chopra made famous the ‘someone somewhere is made for you’ belief. With Jab Tak Hai Jaan, he elucidates the concept of timeless love. Every relationship has its time, it’s believed. If something is meant to happen or not is a trick of destiny, all you’ve got to give it is your honest best.
Jthj is the story of Samar Anand (Shah Rukh Khan) tracing his life across a span of around 10 years–one as a young musician in London picking up odd jobs to make a honest yet cheerful livelihood while second as Major Samar Anand of the Indian army, where he’s tagged as ‘the man who cannot die’ owing to his record of diffusing 98 bombs without any bomb suits or safety.

Even though the film Aisha didn't really ruffle any major feather at the box office, it gave Bollywood two names to watch out for. One is Sonam Kapoor, while the other being Rhea Kapoor. While Sonam has been on a film signing spree, Rhea wants to take each day as it comes. That's why, post Aisha, even though Rhea was offered many rom-coms, sex comedies and even chick flicks, she waited for the right script, that apparently has come in the form of Mainak Dhar's novel 'Herogiri', which revolves around an ordinary man possessing extraordinary powers. Rhea, who has recently bought the rights of the book, said that when she read the book, she was highly entertained and thought it would be exciting to keep the genre of superhero films alive. While the film is to be directed by Karan Boolani (who had worked as an associate director for Aisha...

“Kuch paane ke liye kuch khona padta hai aur haar kar jeetne waale ko Baazigar kehte hai!” The line that helped the 1993 thriller flick Baazigar acclaim a lot of awards doesn’t seem to do the same trick for the 2011 rom-com Ladies vs Ricky Bahl.
Ladies vs Ricky Bahl is the story of three ladies who in their own scheme of things plot to give a smart con-man – whom they christen Bloody Kameena! – Ranveer Singh a dose of his own medicine. Ricky Bahl a.k.a Sunny Singh a.k.a Iqbal khan a.k.a Deven Shah amongst his other varied avatars dupes Dimple Chaddha (Parineeti Chopra), Raina Parulekar (Dipannita Sharma) and Saira Rashid (Aditi Sharma) in a bid to swindle lakhs of rupees from them leaving behind a rage to settle their score with him.

Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl
Stars: Ranveer Singh, Anushka Sharma, Parineeti Chopra, Dippanita Sharma, Aditi Sharma | Written By Devika Bhagat | Directed by Maneesh Sharma
Same director, same leads, same weekend for release, Yashraj Films seem to be hoping the same formula as last year’s Band Baaja Baraat will work again. Labelled as a “rom-con”, Ladies Vs. Ricky Bahl is the story of three girls getting their revenge on a conman who stole money from their families/businesses. As well as Ranveer Singh, playing con-man Ricky Bahl, and Anushka Sharma, playing Ishika, a sales-girl/con-woman for hire, the film introduces three new actresses playing the girls trying to get their money back.
Maneesh Sharma certainly wastes no time, as we’re thrown straight into the first con, and barely five minutes before the first song (Jigar Da Tukda – disappointed that it wasn’t a Ranveer and Anushka song, but its fun...

The prolific Priyadarshan who in many ways spawned the entire culture of modern-day comedies in Bollywood has decided to take a sabbatical from the funny stuff. No more comedies, says Priyan. And he makes a barbed comment on the new breed of comic filmmakers. "Let the others dabble in comedy. I've had my fill for a while." So adamant is he on staying away from comedies that he has told Subhash Ghai whose banner needs immediate revival that he won't be able to do a funny film for the producer. Ghai had gone to Priyadarshan in the hope of his production house securing a De Dana Dan, if not a Hera Pheri. Priyan made it clear that he won't indulge in any funny business. Says the director, "Subhashji came to me to sign me for a film. I made it very clear that I won't be making a comedy. I'm working on a few scripts.

Well, at least off, if not on the camera."What was most interesting off the camera was all the madness because of this huge cast and crew that was made primarily of women", recollects Cyrus who has worked with Sonam earlier in Delhi 6, "It was this huge army of women with a small bunch of men trying to create a space for themselves.

From what appears as another cat fight in the industry, sources reveal that all’s not well between director Devika Bhagat and young starlet Sonam Kapoor.
Apparently, Sonam seems to be taking full advantage of the fact that Ayesha is her daddy dearest Anil Kapoor’s.
