Thank you for casting Bhumi Pednekar in roles far cry from her real, urban self | Bollywood

Published by Webster

There are some actors who find themselves in the characters they play on screen. They breathe life into them in such a way that their real selves get dwarfed in comparison. Bhumi Pednekar is one of those rare actors. Within the span of a year, she’s gone from the glamorous Delhi girl, that she admits is closest to her IRL, in Thank You For Coming, to the de-glam, relentless Patna reporter in Bhakshak. And I would pay good money to watch her in the latter than in the former. Bhumi Pednekar in Thank You For Coming and Bhakshak (Also Read: Bhumi Pednekar gets nostalgic as Badhaai Do turns 2: ‘Grateful for love, endless smiles’) No thanks for coming? Bhumi has referred to Karan Boolani’s sex comedy from last year, Thank You For Coming, as a “massive therapy session.” She said it was a part closest to her with conflicts very similar to the ones she wrestles with in real life. And that it was far more vulnerable to play her than the de-glam parts she’s …

However, it has come to my attention that one so-called ‘credible’ trade journalist has been posting dangerous hate speech against myself and my co-producers.” She continued, “Admitting that he hasn’t seen the film, he’s angered by our message- Women’s rejection of shame. Stating that these stories have no place in ‘Hindi cinema’, he spews misogynistic rhetoric and encourages violence against us. I was told to pay no attention to the ravings of …

Thank You For Coming Review: More Erratic Than Erotic

Published by Webster

Bhumi, Shibani and Dolly in a still from the film. (Courtesy: YouTube) At under two hours, Karan Boolani’s Thank You for Coming is by no stretch of the imagination a long film. But the frothy jabber-fest of a sex comedy, written by Radhika Anand and stand-up comic Prashasti Singh, quickly outlives its welcome. The film not only fails to rid itself of its flabby frivolity but it also makes the audience wade through massive amounts of verbiage that often lapses into unintelligible blabber. Laboured, hackneyed and exhausting, Thank You for Coming makes the same point over and over again until it has absolutely nothing, fresh or otherwise, left to say. It takes an eternity to find some sort of rhythm. When it eventually does – the film’s second half is far better than the first, which isn’t necessarily saying much given how wayward the kick-off is – it moves forward (and sometimes even backwards) only in fits and starts, goes into repetitive loops, froths at the mouth and gets exceedingly antsy.   More erratic than erotic, …
