Singham Again Review: Ranveer Rocks Rohit’s Ramayan Reloaded Repetitive Recipe

Singham Again Is A Typical Rohit Shetty Movie With Everything More This Time – More Cops, More Cars, More Action, More One-Liners! But Great Guru Said Less Is More!

Rohit Creates His Cop Universe With Singham, Simba, Lady Singham & Sooryavanshi – And With A Hint Of Upcoming Collaboration With Chulbul Pandey!

What You Expect Is What You Get – The Trailer Is Actually Enough To Reveal & Summarise The Entire Move! Why Bother To See The Movie?

Singham Again Is A Modern Ramayana Where Danger Lanka (Ravan) Kidnaps Singham’s (Ram) Wife Avni (Sita) & Singham Gets His Friends & Family To Help Him (Lakshman, Hanuman, Jatayu Etc.) Nothing Is Left To Subtlety – The Ramayana References Are Repeated & Choked To You!

Ajay Devgn Makes An Impact But The Biggest Entertainer Is Ranveer In His Simbba Avatar. Tiger Shroff, Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, Jackie Shroff, Ravi Kishan & Super Star Cameo Just Complete The Ensemble Cast – Nothing New From Them. And Arjun Kapoor Is A Big Letdown – He Is Not An Intimidating Villain Whose Horrendous Acts Require A Battery Of Saviour Heroes!

Singham Again: Not A Diwali Phatakha! Just Watch It For The Fun Entertainment & Forget It!

Listening – A rare and an extinct quality!

In the world that constantly wants to speak and be heard, listen seems almost a forgotten skill!

And how costly it is! Yet we do not realise it!

God gave us two ears and one month – But we do not understand!

Listen to customers and business will never fail!

Listen to employees and success will soar!

Listen to friends and relationships will enrich!

Listen to kids and family will smile!

Listen to heart and life will thrive!

Do Patti Review: Falls Like A House Of Cards

Do Patti Review: Falls Like A House Of Cards – Avoid It!

Kriti Sanon’s Veronica Style Cocktail Of Crime Thriller, Mental Health & Domestic Abuse Is A Big Letdown

Soumya and Shailee are twin sisters, who not only are as different as chalk and see, but also do not see eye-to-eye. Both fall for a cool charmer Dhruv- Aaina in Seeta Aur Geeta & Chaalbaaz mode. The troubled trio tale gets a twist as the stud has anger issues and he resorts to violence since he suffers from a patriarchal hangover. Key topics of mental health and domestic violence are diluted in an overzealous attempt to be a cinematic artwork.

Kajol is wasted – her Dushman was a better fare. Producer Kriti Sanon gets to show her acting skills in a double act including a complete tribute to Cocktail’s Deepika Padukone Veronica avatar. Rest of the act fail to redeem the poor screenplay and poorer direction – A better sensitivity was expected from Kanika in a women-produced film.
