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 …

Maaran Movie Review Rating: Star Cast: Yash Soni, Deeksha Joshi, Shruhad Goswami, Prachi Thaker, Tarjanee Bhadla, Druma Mehta Director: Abhishek Jain Maaran Movie Review Out: A Dark Tale Of Survival & Trauma ( Photo Credit – Instagram ) What’s Good: It’s an unapologetic mirror to a dark and age-old reality. What’s Bad: The stretched saga at places and the niche tenor Loo Break: Not a good idea Watch or Not?: If you love serious cinema, yes. Language: Gujarati Available On: Theatrical release Runtime: 137 Minutes User Rating: Fundamentally, this is a saga of two women who are both abducted to be sold for sex trafficking, but their captors fall for their charms and try to win over them. Urmi (Prachi Thaker) relentlessly rebuffs her captor, Babu (Shruhad Godwami), but Birwa (Deeksha Joshi) soon develops a comfort zone and loyalty with Ratan (Yash Soni), the mastermind in the game. This coping or survival mechanism, whereby she feels she is safer with him rather than in the world and family from where she came, is her final …

Ted Lasso season 4 review: Jason Sudeikis’ everyman hero still wins your heart, but now fights a villain called formula

Ted Lasso season 4 review: Jason Sudeikis’ everyman hero still wins your heart, but now fights a villain called formula

Published by Parlour News

Ted Lasso season 4 Directors: Erica Dunton, Ellie Heydon, and Declan Lowney Cast: Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, Juno Temple, Jeremy Swift, and Tanya Reynolds Rating: ★★★.5 Everyone’s favourite football coach is back. Ted Lasso has been forced to return from the US to the UK to coach the AFC Richmond women’s team. And it is here that Lasso, the character, mirrors Lasso the show, which Apple TV had to bring back for a fourth season despite neatly wrapping up the character’s arc in the season 3 finale. Season 4 was a risky proposition and it starts shakily, but to the relief of anyone who has liked this heartwarming show, it gets back on track, even if it carries the hint of a predictable formula in its narrative now. Ted Lasso season 4 review: Jason Sudeikis and Tanya Reynolds in a still from the show. Ted Lasso (Jason Sudeikis) is living a quiet life in the US with his family, when Rebecca Walton (Hannah Waddingham), his former boss, coaxes him to return …

Ohh My Dog Review: Oscar’s unwavering loyalty sets humans straight in Pankaj Tripathi’s family entertainer

Published by Parlour News

Name: Ohh My Dog Director: Amit Rai Cast: Pankaj Tripathi, Oscar, Bruno, Maahi Rai, Pavan Malhotra, Geeta Agrawal Sharma, Rajesh Kumar, Shreedhar Dubey, Sulakhyana Baruah, Vijay Vid Mishra, Bulloo Kumar, Jitendra Joshi Writer: Amit Rai Rating: 3/5 Plot Set across the contrasting landscapes of Assam and Bihar, Ohh My Dog tells two parallel stories connected by one universal emotion that is unconditional love. In Assam, young Appu played by Maahi Rai is devastated when his beloved dog, Momo, mysteriously disappears. Refusing to give up, the tech-savvy boy embarks on a determined search, uncovering a grim reality along the way. At the same time in Bihar, Oscar, a fiercely loyal dog, begins his own relentless mission after his caretaker Prince vanishes without a trace, only to discover that a danger lies behind his disappearance. Rather than intersecting, these two narratives mirror each other, highlighting how loyalty, courage and compassion often come more naturally to animals than humans. Director Amit Rai uses these stories to explore themes of family, friendship and humanity through the dogs as they become the emotional …

Awarapan 2 Trailer Review: Do Not Ignore Emraan Hashmi, Ignore Shabana Azmi, & Try To Look For Disha Patani

Published by Parlour News

Awarapan 2 Trailer Review: Do Not Ignore Emraan Hashmi, Ignore Shabana Azmi ( Photo Credit – YouTube ) Hi Millenials! Your version of Saiyaara is all set to arrive in the theaters, and Emraan Hashmi has already arrived with a glimpse of the Awarapan 2 trailer! Directed by Nitin Kakkar, the film stars him alongside Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi, as the emotional saga of Shivam Pandit returns on screen! Seventeen years after Mohit Suri gave Indian cinema one of its most tragic, melancholic anti-heroes in 2007, I do not know why we need him and his story again! But apparently the fans do, because they are super excited! Now, do not get me wrong, Emraan Hashmi as a brooding anti-hero, in a musically rich world, fighting and kicking is my genre for Emraan Hashmi films to be honest! But then that specific genre needs to have the intensity and the sincerity, both of which seem to be at the other end here! The trailer says 1 minute 25 seconds, but it is only 1:05, …

( Photo Credit – Instagram ) What’s Good: It’s a love story of dog and man. What’s Bad: The film could perhaps have been 10 minutes shorter, but that’s a minor nitpick. Loo Break: As the format is that of a thriller, avoidable! Watch or Not?: We are animal lovers, and animals love us too, so yes. Language: Hindi Available On: Theatrical release Runtime: 150 Minutes User Rating: The story runs on two tracks. After a brief but moving vignette in Mumbai of the funeral of a police dog, Senapati, and his unknown sacrifices, we move to Bihar and Assam. In Assam, Apu (Maahi Rai)’s dog, Momo (played by Oscar the Dog), goes missing even as the two are playing one morning. The local SHO, Yusuf (Vijay Vidyadhar Mishra), reassures the …

My Bias, My Boss review: A devoted fangirl, a CEO and a former K-pop idol fuel this delightful workplace rom-com

Published by Parlour News

My Bias, My Boss web series review Cast: Kim Hye Jun, Kang Hoon, Cha Woo Min, Gong Ji Ho, Kim Ah Young, Hwang Sung Bin, Shin Yu Na, Heo Joon Seok Director: Park Ji Hyun, Jeong Da Hyung Rating: ★★★ K-pop has inspired quite a few K-dramas over the years. Shows like So I Married an Anti-fan, Imitation, Dream High and Doona! have all explored different sides of idol life and fandom. While some leaned more into fantasy than reality, Imitation remains one of the few dramas that genuinely captured what it means to be a K-pop idol. Going by its first two episodes, the new series My Bias, My Boss seems to be heading in that direction too. My Bias, My Boss review: A fangirl’s dream collides with office chaos in this charming K-drama. (tVN) TvN has premiered a new workplace rom-com, based on Seong Eun’s hit Naver webtoon My Oppa is an Idol, which is produced by CJ ENM’s Studio Dragon.
