Raveena Tandon compares Welcome 3 to Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler films: ‘You expect logic?’ | Bollywood News

3 min readNew DelhiJun 30, 2026 07:26 PM IST Actor Raveena Tandon is currently basking in the success of her latest film, Welcome To The Jungle. In a recent interview, Raveena, who plays the villager Zoya in the action-comedy, opened up about the experience of shooting with an ensemble cast of 34 actors. She also reacted to the criticism directed at the film and urged audiences not to look for logic or realism in such comedies. During a conversation with NDTV, Raveena said Welcome to the Jungle is a satire and should be watched with that mindset. “If they’re looking for realism, justifications and logic in a comedy film, then they haven’t seen many Hollywood comedies either. If you look at the greats – Jim Carrey’s films, Adam Sandler’s films – unless they have an emotional track, it’s different. Look at Leslie Nielsen’s films, Steve Martin’s films, or Dumb and Dumber, which was a super hit – do you expect logic from it? It’s like expecting logic from a Mr. Bean episode. So I don’t …

‘Main Vaapas Aaunga is an act of rebellion,’ says Mahesh Bhatt, compares it to Arth, Zakhm | Bollywood News

Imtiaz Ali’s Partition-era romance Main Vaapas Aaunga has slowly and steadily carved out its own place at the box office. The film continues to draw audiences in strong numbers, making its mark at a time when only tentpole spectacles are often believed to have the scale and longevity to survive in theatres. Along with audience appreciation, the film has also been receiving praise from industry insiders. The latest to celebrate the film is Mahesh Bhatt, who penned a heartfelt note for Imtiaz Ali. Writing for Variety India, Bhatt shared a note titled “On Thirst and Main Vaapas Aaunga.” He began by saying that while some films arrive with great fanfare, others quietly leave a lasting impact. “There are films that arrive with drums and trumpets, announcing themselves like conquerors. And there are films that arrive quietly, carrying only the fragile cargo of a human heart. Main Vaapas Aaunga belongs to the latter category.” ALSO READ | Salman Khan to leave Galaxy after 52 years, gets approval for new 6-storey home: report He described the film …

Anjana Sukhani compares Meher to Geet, says Imtiaz Ali’s women are mature yet childlike

How many actors can really say that I am in an Imtiaz Ali film?” asks Anjana Sukhani, her excitement evident as she speaks to mid-day about Main Vaapas Aaunga. Her journey began with a call inviting her to meet the filmmaker. The role: Naseeruddin Shah’s daughter-in-law and caretaker in the Diljit Dosanjh, Vedang Raina, and Sharvari Wagh-starrer.  “He wanted to see me on camera,” recalls Sukhani, who was first asked to send an introduction video. “When I met him at his office, I think he saw Meher in me. He narrated the part to me. And [I had] no questions. Who am I to say no to Imtiaz?” she says. During their discussions, she realised that Meher shares shades of Geet from Jab We Met (2007). “Like Geet, [played by Kareena Kapoor Khan] Meher has no filter. I feel all of Imtiaz’s women are mature but have a childish quality to them. She innocently speaks about the wrong things at the most unfavourable time. It’s an endearing character,” says the actor. Disclaimer: We do not …

And these are the two things that excite me.” He added, “You know, Alia Bhatt in Highway or Vedang Raina in this film (Main Vaapas Aaunga) have portrayed a certain depth of emotion.
