Dil Mein Mars Hai

#MissionMangal - The latest vehicle to launch Akshay Kumar’s career to greater heights!

It has the right elements to make you feel extremely patriotic and proud; and you should, considering the incredible achievement by #ISRO #India!

The story is obvious but very engaging. #VidyaBalan fits her character to the T; #SonakshiSinha is the right blend of pretty and fiesty; #TaapseePannu, #KirtiKulhari and #SharmanJoshi play their parts perfectly but there is limited scope to showcase their capabilities; #DalipTahil seems to have grown younger; #SanjayKapoor gives web series kinda vibes; rest of the cast is apt.

Editing could have been crisper; there is lack of balance in character sketches where background of some characters is overly built with unnecessary details while others are left half-baked.

When there are comic elements, #AkshayKumar knows how to rock-it! 😉Music is good and the #DilMeinMars anthem is catchy.

Overall, definitely worth a watch.

3.75⭐️ from me.

Kahaani 2

#Kahani2- yet another mediocre sequel.

The story was lucid, broaching upon a very serious subject. However, the approach was a bit too "hit in the face" and so were some of the scenes and dialogues. A little subtlety would have gone a long way.

Vidya Balan was effortless as usual, Arjun Rampal kinda restrained, with lot of character actors from the first Kahani supporting ably. Jugal Hansraj was a (un)pleasant surprise. I would have loved to see Bob Biswas and Rana again but alas!

Overall not bad. 3⭐️

Te3n tighda toh kaam bighda

Te3n tighda toh kaam bighda - that pretty much summarizes it!

You expect greatness from the deadly trio of Amitabh Bachchan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Vidya Balan but this one is just not upto the mark. A tad bit too slow with a predictable plot, this Kahaani is nowhere in the league of its predecessor. Vidya Balan seems somewhat unfit for the role (thats a rare comment!); Amitabh looks too senile; Must give it up for Nawazuddin though- that guy's a natural.  

Overall just an okay-ish one time watch. 3/5
