This Babli is “Besharam”

By -

Director Abhinav Kashyap’s second outing after Dabangg was eagerly awaited.


Every body wanted to see the rustic magic that Abhinav weaves through his stories. Also, the trailers were very promising and Ranbir Kapoor, the scion of the legendry “Kapoor Khandaan” was appearing on screen with his real life parents!


All in all there were so many expectations from the film!!!!


The film is entertaining in parts. There are sequences that are funny but those are not enough to take you through the bad parts. After “Do Dooni Chaar”, I expected a lot more from the Chautalas – Both Chulbul & Bulbul (Rishi Kapoor/ Neetu Kapoor) pair but they failed to impress.


Ranbir, fresh from the success of YJHD and the rejuvenating “holiday” he took recently is playing the protagonist “Babli”. Pallavi Sharda is unimpressive as his love interest.


I very often ask myself this question that what is more powerful? Script or Actor? And there are enough examples to support both the arguments. I think Ranbir took a chance with this one or probably the end product didn’t match the initial thought behind the movie. Playing a car thief with a heart of gold! There is nothing to write home about the performance or the character.


The only actor I was impressed with is Javed Jaffrey. Though his role is small, he has carried it with style and I simply loved his fervent desire for stolen mercs!


The screenplay is weak with average music score. There is nothing memorable about the dialogues either! There is no take away like Dabangg’s “Thappad se dar nahi lagta”.


Our Verdict: This “Babli” is flat.


Watchable: Yes, only if you are madly, badly, terribly, horribly in love with Ranbir Kapoor.

By Economic Times – Flat sale of flu drugs hints at no unusual rise in infections Industry executives and chemists said the April sales data showed a month-on-month decline of 30-40%. But even though the lockdown is seen to be impacting sales of most drugs, the pattern for medicines for infections and flus is no different.Last Updated: Apr 30, 2020, 11.23 AM ISTAgenciesExperts said the decline in sales was primarily because of the lockdown and other restrictions which forced people to stay indoors.

Hrithik-Saif’s Vikram Vedha hits a roadblock

The stage was about to be set for Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan’s ‘Vikram Vedha’ in Mumbai’s Film City. The material had reached. The artisans had been hired. But the lights have now been dimmed. Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi’s hit movie Vikram Vedha’s Hindi remake will not go on floors by mid-July as per the original plan. The new delta virus of COVID has sent shudders down many spines and many films which were being laid out on an expansive scale have been either held back or shifted their shoots abroad. The first schedule of this Hrithik-Saif movie will now be shot abroad. A source says, “The Mumbai schedule will be done but later.” Adds the source, “It’s a call that was taken yesterday. It wasn’t an easy call to take, no doubt, but the fact that it’s going to be a costly set made the makers take the safer route rather than be sorry later.” When contacted, General Secretary of FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), Ashok Dubey, confirmed that the makers of ‘V
