SIMRUN KNOWS BEST

  Raanjhanaa, produced by Eros International and directed by Anand. L. Rai released in the year 2013. The film almost instantly won our hearts with its screenplay, Music, storyline and characters. The story carried out beautifully in the Indian town of Benaras captures well, the lives of people living there. The protagonists, Kundan (Dhanush) and Zoya (Sonam K Ahuja) are portrayed with accuracy and beauty. Adding to the overall perfect portrayal were the supporting characters played by Swara Bhaskar, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Kumud Mishra, Abhay Deol and others. We cannot refuse to agree to the fact that we fell in love at first sight with Akram aka Jaspreet Singh played by Abhay Deol. Abhay Deol's perfect portrayal of a political science JNU student had us vouch for him the moment his character was introduced.  The story revolves around a Hindu boy Kundan, head over heels for a Muslim girl Zoya. He falls for her the very moment he sees her reading a 'namaz'  when they...

  It has almost been two years since Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani starrer 'Kabir Singh' released at the box office. The movie, which happens to be the Hindi adaptation of 'Arjun Reddy' is directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The very day the movie was released for the audience, it became a hit. No doubt, the music was melodious and the storyline had us crying our eyes out at the theatre, remembering that one person.   Shahid Kapoor as an actor has portrayed the character with accuracy and class. The actor who was popularly known as the 'chocolate boy' now played the role of an overly aggressive individual with a drug problem. And as for Kiara Advani, it is hard to imagine any other actress play the role of Preeti with sheer innocence and dedication.  Like many others, I also became a fan of the movie and wondered what it would be like if I had a boyfriend like Kabir. But thank god! my craze was short-lived and I did not bump into anyone like Kabir. Hold on, let me...

  Sushant Singh Rajput’s untimely death and Kangana Ranaut’s claim on ‘favouritism’ in the Indian Film Industry has driven the audience into a   frenzy and sparked a wide debate on the existence of nepotism in Bollywood. I have had plenty of time to retrospect in this matter and hence am bringing my personal opinion to you.  The 'Nepotism debate' as netizens call it has had successful film directors like Karan Johar, Mahesh Bhatt and Ekta Kapoor under the spotlight. They have become victims of bullying and social media harassment because according to the popular public opinion they practice nepotism i.e. They prefer star kids over individuals who do not have strong contacts in the film industry. Even talented actors like Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan have become victims of bullying to an extent that the only option that remained with them was to disable the comment section on their social media handles.   In simp...
