This week, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) issued a non-cooperation directive to all its members to not work with actor Ranveer Singh.

Published by Parlour News

Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali has had more hits than misses in his 20-year career in Hindi cinema. One of the biggest misses for him was Love Aaj Kal 2, the spiritual sequel to his own film. The romantic drama, which starred Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan, was a commercial and critical failure. In a recent interview, the filmmaker opened up on the folly and called it a ‘useless experiment’. Imtiaz Ali with Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan on the sets of Love Aaj Kal. Imtiaz Ali disses Love Aaj Kal sequel In an interview with Zoom, Imtiaz spoke about making the film. “In Love Aaj Kal 2, I did that because I already had the story, and I was excited about it. It didn’t work is a different matter. Love Aaj Kal 2 also told me that this is a useless experiment because it’s not even a viable project, if you don’t want to make it. Love Aaj Kal 2 was a story in itself. I could have made a different story,” he said. …

3 min readNew DelhiUpdated: May 20, 2026 07:46 PM IST Eleven years ago, a young boy from Gwalior, moved to Mumbai to become an engineer. However, he decided to fulfill his dream of becoming an actor, and got his first breakout role in Luv Ranjan’s Pyaar Ka Punchnama. When the rom-com hit the theatres in 2011, it left the audiences divided. While some viewed it as a rare and honest take on modern romantic relationships, others called it a one-sided, exaggerated rant against women. Also starring Divyendu, and Raayo S Bakhirta as leads, the film also had a stellar run at the box office. As Pyaar Ka Punchnama clocks 15 years of its release, I rewatched the film to reflect on its narrative choices and how it creates a long-lasting cultural impact. Kartik’s iconic monologue Say whatever you want, the 5-minute long monologue by Kartik Aaryan was truly iconic. The actor’s delivery of the viral rant about relationship woes is still a part of pop culture. The high relatability of the moment also helped Kartik …

4 min readNew DelhiUpdated: May 20, 2026 12:51 PM IST When Pyaar Ka Punchnama released today in 2011, Kartik instantly became the voice of a certain urban Indian male frustration. His now-iconic monologue transformed him overnight into the relatable middle-class boy-next-door that young audiences connected with. He wasn’t larger-than-life, overly polished, or inaccessible. He felt familiar. And in a post-multiplex Bollywood era, that relatability became his biggest strength. But Bollywood has always had a habit of turning an actor’s strength into their cage. What started as a breakout identity slowly became a fixed brand. Over the next decade, Kartik kept returning to variations of the same character — the charming but confused boyfriend, the commitment-phobic urban man-child, the witty middle-class hustler navigating romance and chaos. From Pyaar Ka Punchnama to Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety to Luka Chuppi and Pati Patni Aur Woh, the industry rewarded him for staying within that comfort zone. And to be fair, it worked — until it suddenly didn’t. Kartik Aaryan in Pyaar Ka Punchnaama. (Photo: IMDb) The cracks became …
