India’s batting misfires again as England take series in quick time

India’s batting misfires again as England take series in quick time

Published by Webster

Having won 16 bilaterals and two T20 World Cups over the last three years, India have lost two consecutive series in the space of two weeks. Needing a win at Bristol to keep the series alive, India once again faltered, appearing a bunch that fails to learn from its past mistakes and still doesn’t get a hang of the local conditions as England clinched the series with an 8-wicket win on Friday. Having been blanked by Ireland 2-0 a fortnight ago, India are facing the embarrassment of being whitewashed for the first time in a T20 series if they happen to lose in Southampton on Saturday. This was yet another outing in the tour where the batting department spectacularly failed, putting on a mere 158/7, which was overhauled by England with nine wickets in hand and 6.1 overs untouched. Shreyas Iyer era as T20I captain continues to remain winless as head coach Gautam Gambhir watched it all unravel from the dugout with a grim face. As he mentioned at the end of the previous outing, …

Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story review: This Kunal Kohli rom-com misfires in all departments | Bollywood

Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story review: This Kunal Kohli rom-com misfires in all departments | Bollywood

Published by Parlour News

You just cannot go wrong with a meet-cute love story. Hindi cinema has thrived on countless such films- boy meets girl, sparks fly, there is love, banter, heartbreak, and they come back together again for a kiss. The end. (Also read: Badass Ravikumar review: Come, fall in love with Himesh Reshammiya’s brainrot version of ‘Himesh’s Got Talent’) Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story is a disappointing attempt at a romantic comedy. But turns out, things can indeed go wrong in some cases. Horribly wrong. Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story is a shining example of how not to make a romance. It starts with the director (also the writer here)- Kunal Kohli. He has either lost his touch after the much-loved Hum Tum- or had to direct Bobby Aur Rishi Ki Love Story at gunpoint. Nothing else explains why he has no control over what is happening here. Editors are Sanjay Sankla and Pratul Gaikwad, and two people here couldn’t do one job. There is nothing much to work with. The film revolves around two …

Ryan Reynolds Blames Fox “Studio Mandates” For Deadpool’s Botched Appearance. (Photo Credit – Instagram) Ryan Reynolds is not too happy with Fox Studio for fumbling the ball in Deadpool’s first live-action appearance. Ryan Reynold debuted the ‘Merc With a Mouth’ Deadpool in the 2009 Fox film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. While the film was a box-office success, grossing $373 million worldwide, it received negative reviews from audiences who derided its portrayal of Deadpool. Fans may recall that X-Men Origins made some shocking changes. Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool’s mouth, was sewn shut to prevent him from talking. Fans believe the film made a grievous mistake by removing a significant aspect of Merc With a Mouth’s personality. They weren’t alone in their disappointment. Reynolds has frequently expressed his disdain for the solo film.
