Inspector Avinash Season 2Director: Neerraj PathakCast: Randeep Hooda, Urvashi Rautela, Amit Sial, Abhimanyu Singh, Shalin Bhanot, Rajniesh Duggal, and Freddy DarwalaRating: 3 stars A good cop drama is not just about guns, gangsters and encounter sequences. It needs tension that keeps viewers invested, emotional depth that makes the characters feel real and a gripping narrative that balances action with strong storytelling. Inspector Avinash Season 2 attempts to tick all those boxes with political conspiracies, dangerous criminals and personal turmoil at the centre of its story. While the series succeeds in delivering intensity and entertainment in parts, it struggles to rise above the familiar tropes that have long dominated the cop-thriller genre. Inspector Avinash Season 2 review: Randeep Hooda leads the thrilling cop-drama. Plot of Inspector Avinash Season 2 In the second season of the series, Inspector Avinash returns with bigger stakes, more emotional baggage and an even darker battle between crime and law. Led by Avinash Mishra (Randeep Hooda), the 10-episode series follows the officer as he takes on a dangerous weapons cartel headed by …

Director Anurag Kashyap always seems to be right in the middle of a debate with everyone from and beyond the industry. In an old interview, the director had called out filmmakers and producers for spending too much money on entourages belonging to actors and other paraphernalia on the sets, which ultimately leaves the team with less money to invest in the actual film. Actor Amit Sial responded to these comments, and while he agreed with Kashyap to a certain extent, he admitted that there are various facets to this reality. While talking to the YouTube channel Hindi Rush, Sial pointed out that these costs are very much real, and they do affect the overall budget allocation while making a film, but a producer needs to be ready for these kinds of things. “These extra costs and their effects on the film and its overall budget are 100 per cent real.

It took seven years since Raid (2018) for Raj Kumar Gupta to make Raid 2. The primary reason was because he didn’t want to bank on a franchise. Having helmed critically acclaimed films like Aamir (2008) and No One Killed Jessica (2011), he didn’t want to direct a sequel unless he had a solid story. In an exclusive interview with SCREEN, Gupta breaks down Raid 2, its new villain Dadabhai (Riteish Deshmukh), and if he has plans for Raid 3. Raid 2 follows a similar structure as the first part. How did you decide what you’re going to stick to and what you’ll do differently?Of course, Raid 2 also follows Ajay Devgn sir’s character Amay Patnaik. But we wanted a different story for Raid 2 so that the sequel seems fresh. Eighty percent of Raid was inside the house. If I may call it that, Raid had an inward raid whereas Raid 2 is an outward raid. Because there are different kinds of challenges that income tax officers face. Raid was more of a drama, …

Amit Sial turned heads first with his role in Kanu Bahl’s Titli in 2015. Right when he was planning to quit the film industry, the advent of streaming in India helped him bag exciting parts in Inside Edge, Mirzapur, Qala, Jamtara – Sabka Number Ayega, and Maharani. These roles have now led him to memorable supporting roles in hit films like Karan Singh Tyagi’s period courtroom drama Kesari 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh and Rajkumar Gupta’s crime thriller Raid 2. In an exclusive interview with SCREEN, Sial discusses getting love for these films, how theatrical releases hit differently than OTT shows, and the 10-year journey since his breakthrough in Titli. Of course, it came as a pleasant surprise. It’s very kind of Rajkumar Gupta to etch me into the script. It was an amazing experience. The way it’s reached the audience’s hearts, it’s incredible! Nobody expected that. We always knew it’s an author-backed part, but itna mail kha jayega logon se, mazza hi aa gaya yar! Story continues below this ad When you …

Jo Tera Hai Woh Mera Hai Review: A Light-Hearted Comedy About Greed That Steers Clear of Depth

Published by Webster

When Emily Dickinson wrote “The heart wants what it wants,” it hit home for many of us. Like Dickinson said, human desires and fixations are often beyond rationale and reasoning. JioCinema’s latest original, Jo Tera Hai Wo Mera Hai, is based on the same concept. The film tells the story of a man called Mitesh (Amit Sial), who has had his heart set on Utsav, a gorgeous Bungalow in Mumbai, for years. Like a love-struck teenager, he keeps scrolling through photos of the villa on his phone, daydreams about it, and doesn’t mind holding up traffic just to get a moment to admire the villa in its full glory. The only obstacle that stands in the way of his childhood dream house is Govinda (Paresh Rawal), the perpetually cranky owner of Utsav, who pelts unwanted visitors away and stays with his household help at the villa. He is well aware of the place’s magnetism and can’t stand the sight of brokers hovering over him, waiting for him to agree to sell the place. A notice …
