Actress Sanjana Sanghi, who first appeared as a child artist in “Rockstar” alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri, has come a long way in her career. She captured attention even with her small role in “Rockstar” and eventually landed her full-fledged debut role in “Dil Bechara” opposite the late Sushant Singh Rajput. Today, July 24, 2024, marks four years since the release of “Dil Bechara,” and Sanjana took to Instagram to reflect on this milestone with a heartfelt post.

In her post, Sanjana shared two pictures from “Dil Bechara”: one with Sushant Singh Rajput from a scene in the movie and another from her introductory scene. She expressed gratitude for the love her character received and shared how much she missed her co-star. She captioned the post:

“4 years to this most special day. A day for me to reflect on the unbelievable journey thus far, and immerse myself in nostalgia. Can...

There are hardly a handful of films and television shows in recent years that have explored how magical realism can be used as a premise to tell love stories. The last Hindi movie that went from being a cheesy love story to a transcended one was Sajid Ali’s Laila Majnu, which had an amazing second half and a soundtrack that could not be forgotten for years to come. Barzakh, which broadly means life after death, is the new “Zee5 Global” original that explores the relationship dynamics between two people deeply in love and how the death of one of them may affect the other.

The second episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show was about Rohit Sharma, the captain of the Indian cricket team, who left no stone unturned in making fun of himself and his team. He was joined by his electrifying teammate, one of the best batsmen in the country, Shreyas Iyer. They spent a lot of time taking potshots at their teammates and themselves, which was the only highlight of the show. The rest of the gags were forgettable and repetitive.

The brand-new episode of the show features the cast and crew of the new Netflix India original film Amar Singh Chamkila. The movie has been in the making for a while now and was released on April 12, 2024, with a stupendous response from critics and viewers. The new episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show not only celebrates the film but also the legendary Punjabi singer Amar Singh Chamkila and his wife Amarjot Kaur,...

Amar Singh Chamkila (Netflix)

Starring Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra

Director: Imtiaz Ali

“Hum chetaawani nahin denge, marenge,” a Sikh committee warns Amar Singh Chamkila, who is too far gone into wink-wink-nudge-nudge gaane route to care.

When threatened Chamkila, as played by Diljit Dosanjh, is like, whatever…

Was Chamkila a brave musician who wouldn’t be intimidated by moral policing and creative fascism? Director Imtiaz Ali, who had lately been churning out balderdash like, cringe, When Harry Met Sejal and, double cringe, Love Aaj Kal (Kartik Aaryan’s own Razia Sultan) , is back in form.

And in Punjab where he loves to shoot from his hips.

Amar Singh Chamkila is shot like a docu-dream. The cinematographer Sylvester Fonseca keeps the visuals raw, real and rugged while editor Aarti Bajaj knows exactly where to cut before the raunchy singing hits the low notes.

Dosanjh, a singer and an actor of substantial skills,...

Punjab has suddenly become a point of interest for Hindi cinema. For the past few years, many interesting stories have come out of quaint towns in the state, which was previously projected as a place known for merriment, alcohol, and Canada. Starting from Udta Punjab, which incidentally also starred the amazing Diljith Dosanjh, Imtiaz Ali, the director of Amar Singh Chamkila, has also briefly explored Punjab through his classic hit Jab We Met.

Kohrra, Tabbar, Pataallok, and the latest SonyLIV show Chamak extensively covered Punjab meticulously and gave us a different picture of the state. This Punjab is not surrounded by ‘sarson ke kheth’ and people are not always in the mood to sing and dance. Amar Singh Chamkila, the Netflix original, is based on the famous Punjabi singer of the same name, whose life was tragically cut short.

The movie begins with Amar Singh Chamkila and his wife, Amarjot Kaur,...

Woh Bhi Din The Movie Review Rating:

Star Cast: John Abraham, Rohit Saraf, Sanjana Sanghi, Charu Bedi, Adarsh Gourav, Gaurav Parajuli, Zeishan Quadri

Director: Sajid Ali

Woh Bhi Din The Movie Review Out ( Photo Credit – IMDb )

What’s Good: The underlying message is that even naughty or flawed children can attain distinction in adult life and that childhood should be guilt-free, while school also prepares you for the outside world and is not just about books and examinations. A subtle message thus goes out to strict parents.

What’s Bad: A film that craved for skilled editing and horrendous (can’t think of any other word) music!

Loo Break: Therefore, quite frequently in many stretched sequences. At 2-hour plus, this one could have been crisply told in about 90 minutes.

Watch or Not?: Do you have to write about it? Then yes. Otherwise, we learn its messages in school, called...

The Great Indian Kapil Show to Crew: What To Watch This Weekend ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

The month of March is filled with many exciting and big releases. The audience is treated with all kinds of content in every genre – comedy, thriller, romance and much more. Kapil Sharma is now all set to rule the Ott world with The Great Indian Kapil Show! On the other hand, the audience will be entertained with love and laughter with Premalu.

It’s a long weekend due to the Good Friday holiday, so even theatrical releases this week are intriguing. Crew ft Tabu, Kareena Kapoor Khan & Kriti Sanon is finally making its way! If you are not updated with what’s releasing this week, do not worry. We have made a list of titles that will drop on streaming platforms, as well as movies that will rule the big screen this weekend.

Here’s...

Tritpii Dimri has brought to life several beautiful characters, including Laila from Sajid Ali’s ‘Laila Majnu’ and Qala Manjushree from the film ‘Qala’. However, what gave her the crown of the national crush was Zoya from the Ranbir Kapoor-starrer ‘Animal’.

Asked the actress as to what made Zoya such a rage in the country, Triptii told Ians: “The fact that she had the inner strength, the ability to hold it all in, to be able to fight her inner battles and I think it was all part of her back story.”

The actress is glad to see that the audience could connect with Zoya.

“I think that is what made Zoya different from all the other characters I have played on screen. Her innocence, boldness, her ability to stay calm at difficult situations. That’s what worked in her favour,” she added.

Triptii is having a successful run...

Rising Indian musician and film star Diljit Dosanjh will play legendary Punjab singer Amar Singh Chamkila in a new biopic backed by Netflix. The streamer revealed the project Tuesday, along with a first teaser trailer (see it below), describing the film as film presenting “the untold true story of Punjab’s original rockstar of the masses.”

Amar Singh Chamkila, as the film is titled, is directed by Hindi hitmaker Imtiaz Ali, who reunites on the project with acclaimed musician and composer Ar Rahman, who will handle the film’s score and soundtrack. The duo previously worked together to great success, as director and composer, on Bollywood hits like Rockstar (2011) and Highway (2014).

Diljit, whose international profile got a boost in April when he became the first Punjabi artist to perform at Coachella, will do some of his own singing in the title role. Parineeti Chopra plays the film’s female lead...
