Aryabhatt Ka Zero review: Ravi Kishan, Himansh Kohli’s slice of life film is a two-hour-long trip to nowhere

Published by Parlour News

Aryabhatt Ka ZeroDirector: Kamal ChandraCast: Gopal Dutt, Himansh Kohli, Sonnalli Seygall, Ravi Kishan, Shilpa Shinde, Neeraj Sood, Alka AminRating: ★★ We have had films that motivate you to study harder, work harder, or simply be a better person. And then there are films like Aryabhatt Ka Zero, which are as aimless as their lead character. On my personal list of ‘Films That Have No Reason To Exist’, this one surely ranks somewhere. Aryabhatt Ka Zero review: Himansh Kohli and Ravi Kishan lead the slice of life film. The plot Directed by Kamal Chandra, the film revolves around Baggu (Himansh Kohli), a good-for-nothing guy who has been bad at studies. His girlfriend, Rinku (Sonnalli Seygall), is married off to an SDM (Gopal Dutt). Baggu, in a fit of rage, decides to take the UPSC exam to become a DM. At this point, as a viewer, you are probably thinking the rest of the film is about how he pulls it off. No. What begins as a film about fulfilling one’s duty towards one’s parents and finding …

Traitors S2 Trailer Review Ft. Karan Johar, Shweta Tiwari, Munawar Faruqui & Others! ( Photo Credit – Instagram ) Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the spiciest of them all? Well, my answer has been Karan Johar forever! Ever since, he decided to host the spiciest chat show in the world, Koffee with Karan! Then he pushed the stakes further when he hosted the first season of Bigg Boss OTT, and then the masterstroke was bluffing reality on Prime Video! Traitors S2 is all set to re-arrive, and Karan Johar is, as usual, spicing it up in the trailer itself! If Season 1 taught us anything, it was – putting celebrities in a palace and making them lie to each other on their face. This was basically a rebirth of sorts for the reality TV genre! The Season 2 trailer just dropped, and honestly? It’s doing exactly what a trailer for this show should do – making you paranoid about who is bluffing whom. Karan Johar returns as the showrunner, and he’s leaning even …

DC Cast: Lokesh Kanagaraj, Wamiqa Gabbi, Sanjana Krishnamoorthy, Krish Dayal Director: Arun Matheswaran Rating: ★★★½ Arun Matheswaran has the task of retelling Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay’s Bengali classic Devdas in an engaging manner with DC. From Akkineni Nageswara Rao to Shah Rukh Khan and Abhay Deol, the spoilt alcoholic brat has been immortalised on screen many a time. Now, what can Lokesh Kanagaraj, in his debut as an actor, offer that’s different from what we’ve seen before? DC movie review: Lokesh Kanagaraj and Wamiqa Gabbi play the leads in this action film. DC movie story Like any good Devdas adaptation, we have Devadas (Lokesh Kanagaraj), Parvathy (Sanjana Krishnamoorthy) and Chandra (Wamiqa Gabbi) driving this tale. Das is a gangster whose own father no longer speaks to him due to his affinity for violence. Parvathy is a bar singer whose romance with Das is cut short before it can even fully bloom. And then there’s the abused and exploited prostitute Chandra, who sees a ray of hope and grabs on to it. But will a romance like …

Ohh My Dog review: This Pankaj Tripathi starrer about fur babies is family friendly, yet too predictable to leave a mark

Ohh My Dog review: This Pankaj Tripathi starrer about fur babies is family friendly, yet too predictable to leave a mark

Published by Parlour News

Ohh My DogDirector: Amit RaiCast: Pankaj Tripathi, Pawan Malhotra, Maahi RaiRating: 2.5 stars Dogs, a heartwarming tale of a furry companion rescuing its human, and a pet parent desperately searching for his lost pup. On paper, Ohh My Dog had already won me over before the opening scene had even played. What unfolded over the next two and a half hours, however, was a different story. Ohh My Dog tells the story of two separated pups, Momo and Oscar, as their humans search for them. I once heard someone in the business say that filmmakers should never work with babies or animals. One, because they’re delightfully unpredictable. Two, because, well… they easily steal the scene from adult actors. Watching Ohh My Dog, I couldn’t help but wonder if that old piece of wisdom deserved another mention. What is the plot of Ohh My Dog? The story revolves around Momo and Oscar, two pups separated soon after birth. While Momo finds a loving home in a family in Assam, Oscar is adopted by Prince, a labourer …
