Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 Movie Review: Tabu is the showstopper in this Kartik Aaryan-Kiara starrer

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 Movie Review:   Directed by Anees Bazmee,  ' Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' is a 'complete entertainment package' that will entertain you from start to finish. Starring Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani, this is a funny horror movie with brilliant cinematography that you will enjoy.  But first, throw logic out of the window!                                                                  [Source: Kartik Aaryan on Twitter] Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 Movie Review: Story of Two Strangers   Starting with two strangers (Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani) who are travelling to a picturesque location, the story of  Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is completely different from its previous avatar - the one starring Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan.

Sloppy direction has wrecked the Bollywood version of 'The Girl On The Train'. The Girl On The Train review: What's disappointing? Racing across a gamut of turbulent emotions and situations such as infidelity, betrayal, blackmail and a police investigation, The Girl On The Train fails to convince the audience 'what is ...

Watching Zindagi Na Milegi Do Bara again

Have you ever found yourself watching a movie after a decade and then feeling as though the movie had so many precious moments that you missed the first time you saw it? That's exactly what I felt when I watched 'Zindagi Na Milegi Do Bara' on Netflix this weekend. Here's what I had written the first time I watched the film in case you want to go through it before reading this post.                                                 [Source: Amazon] While 'Bagwati' and 'Laila-Majnu' dialogues made me smile, as did Farhan Akhtar's effortless charm and intelligent sense of humour, there are some scenes that stayed with me in a deeper way as I watched the film.  I liked the scene where Katrina Kaif tells Hrithik that he has missed something in life if he hasn't slept under the stars - this resonated with me.  When we were children, my dad used t...
