Jersey movie review: Shahid Kapoor hits a century in a film that's just too long

Image
  Jersey movie review: Shahid Kapoor delivers one of his best performances. However, the film's length works against it. After Kabir Singh, Shahid Kapoor returns to the big screen with Jersey, almost after three years since his last film released. And you don’t feel he has changed one bit, at least as far as his look is concerned. However, his Arjun Talwar in Jersey is far calmer and restrained that the rowdy, angry Kabir Singh. Playing a talented but failed cricketer, a doting father, and a husband trying hard to save his marriage from falling apart, he carries the film on his able shoulders. While he hits it out of the park each time he’s on the field, the film shines in patches and with a disrupted narrative, often loses pace. A Hindi remake of the 2019 Telugu film by the same name, Jersey has been written and directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, who also helmed the original. And no prize for guessing, the remake is a scene by scene copy of the original, much like most other south

Major hits of Bollywood, that was huge on the first day!

Image
  While movies featuring superstars often take huge openings thanks to their immense popularity and massive box office pull, not every superstar film takes a record-breaking opening. Salman Khan in recent times is the best example of this. That comes only with a few films where the subject matter along with the presence of a superstar excites the audience enough for them to throng the theaters on day one itself. Oftentimes, the movies that make a record-breaking opening turn out to be huge hits at the box office but there have been a few times where Bollywood has broken records on its opening day and eventually crashed thereafter.   Here’s a look at some of them-   1.  Trimurti Released during the Christmas period in the year 1995, Trimurti carried a huge buzz around it.

Image
  Superstar Salman Khan has recently started shooting for the upcoming Telugu action film “Godfather”, which is headlined by South superstar Chiranjeevi. It is directed by Mohan Raja and marks Khan's debut in the Telugu film industry. Superstar Salman Khan on Monday said it is the heroism in South films that is drawing audiences to theatres, which is lacking in Hindi movies today.   The 56-year-old star, known for massy entertainers like "Wanted" and "Dabangg" franchise, made the remarks while talking about the Pan-India culture in movies at The International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) press conference here "We both (South and Bollywood) believed in heroism in cinema.

Looking Back at Fictional Bollywood Hunks, who would be perfect in real life.

When we think about Bollywood heartthrobs, it is usually the actor and not the character that comes to mind. While we would date SRK in a heartbeat, Raj Malhotra from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge would be a handful to manage. While toxic masculinity in Bollywood is an ongoing debate, fans do not forget to celebrate those who leave us in awe of the characters. We might be late for Man Crush Monday, but we are here with a perfect list of Bollywood Fictional Men, who would make perfect life partners. Bollywood has given us some great characters and wonderful couples, but when you think about it, the perfect on-screen boys are often a little toxic. However, that does not mean that Bollywood has never had nice men as filmy characters; they just don’t get the center stage.   When we think about Bollywood heartthrobs, it is usually the actor and not the character that comes to mind.
