Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya
Starring Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt
Written & Directed by Shashank Khaitan
From Jhansi to Singapore….phew! This is one helluva joyride. Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya(Bkd) starts off looking like one of those obnoxious rom-coms where the hero won’t take a no for an answer and the reluctant heroine will finally say yes.
You know those Govinda-Karisma Kapoor types? Gosh, didn’t we leave them behind?
But no! Bkd surprises you. It even steals your heart at the end of the journey. As writer-director Shashank Khaitan’s portrayal of small-town ambitions explodes on screen in multiple manoeuvres of high drama and cunning comedy, he never allows the proceedings to get out of hand.
The number of times the narration threatens to fall over the edge, is not funny. No one topples over even when the characters are boozed out of their heads.
Yup, this film knows where to draw the line.

Bombay Velvet is the kind of crippling disaster that is bound to stymie any actor's career. Ranbir Kapoor is saddened by the setback, but far from defeated. Says his pragmatic dad Rishi Kapoor, "We did speak about it. I have only one piece of advice for my son, 'Don't let success go to your head, and failure to your heart.' In his brief career so far he has seen quite a lot of ups and downs. And he's taken it all in his stride." Rishi Kapoor admits his son is not quite at the top of the world at the moment. "Ranbir is naturally disappointed by the outcome of Bombay Velvet. But it's okay. He will get over it. Setbacks are part of every actor's career. I am glad it's happening to him now when he recently started out. I also had more than my share of debacles after Bobby.

It's going to be one helluva jive jugalbandi. For Umesh Shukla's All Is Well, which brings together Rishi Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan for the first time as father and son, director Umesh Shukla and choreographer Ahmed Khan have conceived an epic song and dance, where the duo would be dancing to the most beloved songs from the past. Says a source, "Rishi would recreate his own hit number from blockbusters like Bobby, Khel Khel Mein, Naseeb and Hum Kisise Kam Nahin. Abhishek would be dancing to his father's iconic numbers from films like Kaalia, Silsila and Yaraana." The selection of songs is still on. Sources say there are way too many Rishi and Bachchan numbers that created history. "To select a mere handful for Rishi Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan to jive to is to dive into an ocean to look for a few pearls. Umesh and Ahmed are at it,...

The battle of words between Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Rishi Kapoor has finally ended with Nawaz apologizing to the senior actor for unintentionally having caused offence. Says Nawaz, "It was never my intention to criticize or to even speak about Rishi Kapoorji. He is a senior and an actor I've grown up watching. Back home where I grew up we had no cinema halls. I'd travel hundreds of kilometers to watch Rishiji in Bobby, Khel Khel Mein and Kabhi Kabhie. He was, and remains one of my favourite actors." Nawaz says he never said anything about Rishi Kapoor. "It was a general observation on romantic scenes. I don't know why he took it personally. I never meant to cause any offence. I've no hesitation in apologizing to Rishiji." In a new twist to the controversy Rishi Kapoor says he was completely misquoted. "I haven't read the interview where I am quoted as talking about Nawazuddin.
