Review of War . . .

Review of War . . .

Initially Siddharth Anand used to make soft rom com films or emotional drama we can say like Salaam Namaste, Tara Rum Pum, Bachna Aye Haseeno etc later in 2014 he came up with a high octane Action flick which was the official remake of Hollywood film Knight and Day. His tie up with Hrithik Roshan worked. Bang Bang got mixed reviews from the critics but action masala lovers praised the film and it became successful at Box-Office.
Once again the Director brings the another BIG action film with deadly superhero of Bollywood none other than Hrithik Roshan. This time it's not a remake but originally written by producer Aditya Chopra and Siddharth Anand along with Sridhar Raghavan wrote Screenplay and Abbas Tyerwala wrote the dialogues. Released exactly after 5 years of Bang Bang on Gandhi Jayanthi Holiday of 2nd October 2019.
Now point is what to expect from the director who made earlier action film with same protagonist, what to expect from the production house which made Dhoom series, Tiger series etc action masalas.
War released along with 2 more films one is Sye Raa by MEGASTAR CHIRANJEEVI in a lead role, another is Hollywood film's very appreciated and loved character Joker. Standing out at Box-Office along with these films is tough task but in India ratio of Mass audiences is much higher than class and main target of War is mass only. War is for those who like action, thriller, stylish, Hero oriented with full masala entertainment for 3 hours. Those who find logics in this kind of film will be disappointed, those who expect some unusual piece of cinema will not be satisfied with it. It's only for mass entertainer who just want to watch and get thrilled in action sequences, hand to hand hard hitting fight scenes, car chasing, bike stunts, with some unexpected twists and turns, a film in which two superheroes grooving on the dance floor and plus as seen in the trailer this time both the heroes are against each other. Hrithik VS Tiger.
Not gonna write much about the story but there are some more important points to be discussed. Screenplay is engaging and thank God it didn't bore me like Saaho's weak screenplay. All people were so excited for Saaho but then came the trailer of War and most of the audiences including me was waiting for it. Saaho turned out so bad not only critics but public also didn't like the film. Even the protagonist couldn't save the film like many times happened in Bollywood that if film fails to impress the audiences then the Hero is the one who takes the whole film on his shoulder and makes it worth watch for fans for example Dhoom 3, Chennai Express etc.
War has all the ingredients what a commercial film requires. Mainly it is an action film so it has so many MIND BLOWING action sequences, it's War film between Hero-Villain with so many twists and turns from starting to climax each new turn will give you wow feeling if you're die hard fan of hardcore suspense thriller. Definitely predictable but still people can enjoy the twists as film is so engaging. I personally liked many parts of the film but what i was expected before going to the theatre is only Actions Actions and Actions. I'm big fan of Hrithik Roshan since years. I'm so happy to see him in role of Kabir in this film like what i saw in 2006 Dhoom 2. I loved the style and stunts of Hrithik in Dhoom 2 and Krrish. Once again he made me fall in loved with his actions. No matter what critics will say but it's a sure shot entertaining film for me. yes agree that it's not the best film or best role ever played by Hrithik but yet it's not a bad like nowadays all those people spread messages who even haven't seen the film. It's enjoyable with Friends and Family. I loved many actions scenes except the one in Military Plane it wasn't well directed according to me while rest are MIND BLOWING, FANTASTIC, OUTSTANDING what Bollywood really needed since long time. It's fact that Indian audiences won't like these kind fo action films if Bollywood is making but if Hollywood is making the same then they'll love it. Like Fast and Furious series Indian people loved even i loved but i can't deny fact that Bollywood is also making some nice action entertainers not all but some are definitely great ones.
Music is ok but no so good like Dhoom 2. BGM is ok but not up to the mark. What made my eyes satisfied was Excellent cinematography by Benjamin Jasper. It was great watch of various landscapes of different places or countries. Awesome DOP work.
Performance by Vaani Kapoor is good as she has only small role, Anupria Goenka is damn good as always loved her in many roles, Ashutosh Rana is good but not a great from him.
Here challenging role was for Tiger Shroff. Tiger is still considered as new comer. Matching and standing out with a person who is in the film industry since two decades, who's much better actor than him, who has so much higher fan following than him is really very tough for Tiger. And specially when he's his Guru in the film and also in the real life. Yes Tiger learned so much from Hrithik Roshan. In fight sequence hitting on his chest or face must be difficult for Tiger as he admired him a lot but being in the job of acting he has to do. I loved stunts, fights and dance of Tiger Shroff since Heropanti but don't like his acting. He's below average actor for me but became big fan of his actions like Vidyut Jamwal.
This time Tiger's performance is quite better than his previous films and quite innocent role too. His entry fight is extremely good and he proves that he's so fit for the fights. But performance wise people will compare them so from my point of view he is nowhere close to Hirthik. (Guru Guru Hota Hai Chela Chela Hota Hai). He's assigned to eliminate Kabir (Hrithik) who was also Indian soldier once. Chasing sequence is the best scene of the film and i was so happy to see them together. Good luck to Tiger for better future. It's his best performance till date.
Now the mainly performance of Hrithik Roshan. It's an out and out Hrithik Roshan's film. The only superhero of Bollywood is back with bang. It gives me goosbumps when he's performing a high octane actions. Loved him since beginning of his career. Loved his action films as well as those in which he gave spectacular performance such as Jodha Akbar, Kaabil or recently released Super 30. I'm big fan of his charismatic swag. He's in full form here too. He's very successful and i count in the category post Khans, Kumar and Devgn. Undoubtedly finest actor cum star. It's rare combination of so much talent and look together. He's the perfect example of Handsome Hunk. As a Kabir he shines throughout the film. From his entry scene with Helicopter to stunts to bike chase to dialogues with Tiger etc fantastic and gave me joy. No matter what other actor casted besides him but from the core of my heart voice comes out that Hrithik Is Hrithik. No one can beat him in dance or actions or acting.
On the whole it was entertaining as i am a massy film lover i enjoyed it specially for BREATHTAKINGLY AWESOME Hrithik Roshan. Congratulations to Yash Raj Films for a sure shot hit.

Review of Section 375 . . .

Review of Section 375 . . .

It's second directorial venture of Ajay Bahl who first made B.A.Pass which was brilliant piece of cinema at least i believe. It was loved by many filmy buffs but not sure whether successful at Box-Office or not. He's back with his second film which also has unusual story like first one.
Section 375 is based on very relevant issue of current situations in India or world.
Touching a women without her consent is a crime and doesn't matter if it's your own wife. She has to give her consent for sexual activities no man can touch her without it. This was highlighted so well in film Pink. Here it's not about this topic but Rape case is something like this.
1 junior assistant of costume designer (Meera Chopra) files a case against a film director (Rahul Bhatt) who forced her for sexual activity in his home.
Court sentence him 10 Years prison and then 1 lawyer Tarun (Akshaye Khanna) believes that he didn't rape her and this case against him seems a false allegations and takes his case. While his own old intern is against him who's fighting case for the victim and then really very hard hitting court room drama film begins.
It throws light on recently MeToo movement happened in India specially in the film industry where females are abused and unfortunately due to lack of support or fear of society they keep it hidden but some brave woman came ahead and talked publicly about whatever happened with them during working hours.
Still the main plot of the film is not that I'm going to be more clear as it's not typical film where rape case is being discussed in the court and at the end accused gets the sentence to death or anything like that. It's not a film totally on MeToo movement however it's a film about Justice VS Law. Yes when the film begins Akshaye Khanna tells there's a difference between the Justice and Law.
Some films raise questions after it's release and this one also raised question that why MeToo there should be MenToo, another thing is why film is showing girls are allegate wrongly guys if the relationship doesn't work out.
I think there can be so long debate or arguments on the topic of sexual consent but here more I'm going to tell about the film not the topic much.
It's a court room drama film but thank God to writers for writing such an engaging script so we can not have to bear that typical "Milord" kinda stuffs in the court or"Mai Geetha par hath rakh ke kasam khata hu" types.
From the very beginning of court scenes both the lawyers speaks some brilliantly written dialogues which is a great start to take it ahead and deep in the topic. Very skillful and tight screenplay.
Direction is top notch specially all the courtroom scenes are well balanced and didn't bore me for a single minute. Ajay Bahl sir hits the right chord once again after B.A.Pass.
Besides writing and direction what court drama needs is performances by the actors. Richa Chadda as victim's lawyer simply solid. Very nice presentation by her. She impressed with her several good dialogues. Kruttika Desai as one of the judges is also superb, Anup Chaudhary is also fantastic as Judge.
Meera Chopra does her job so well. She's damn good actor and played her role of victim Anjali very well.
Rahul Bhatt is amazing as always. He played role of accused film director Rohan Khurrana. Such a fantastic actor.
But lastly whosl eats all these actors with his OUTSTANDING performance is yes none other than one of the finest and unfortunately underrated actor of Bollywood Akshaye Khanna. OMG what an acting. Just superb role play of criminal lawyer Tarun Saluja. I loved his performances in many fo his films and surprisingly he makes me wonder with each of his unusual performance in recent times. Unfortunately he wasn't used properly else he would have definitely some awards with him in his home.
I think an appropriate choice for this role. Hatz off.
Those who have not watched the film and after reading going to watch it please don't miss the climax the very end of film. Because from starting almost end you will have some thoughts but in the climax that may change so powerful climax.
Lastly i would say it may leave you with some questions or you'll be confused which side you're but see it as Justice vs Law not like Man VS Woman film.
For this hard hitting powerful drama and specially for brilliant performance by Akshaye Khanna

Review of Dream Girl . . .

Review of Dream Girl . . . 

Dialogue writer Raaj Shaandilya's debut as a director Dream Girl arrived on this Friday. I was officially busy on first day till night so caught it on Saturday night in theatre. I read reviews which were mostly positive. What i expect from Ayushmann Khurrana's film is different yet engaging story & his stellar performance to make it worth watch for me.
I loved his performances many times. His dedication towards the role and selection of the scripts all the times makes me more excited to wait and look forward for his upcoming films.
Dream Girl in which he plays role of Karam who's working at various dramas where het gets role of any lady character because he has talent to talk in the voice of girl. He's not getting a decent job which can help him to pay off the loans taken by his father (Annu Kapoor). He finally meets a person (Rajesh Sharma) who's running a call center and offers him a job in which he has to call people and talk to them as Pooja. Later story continues with this job and he meets Maahi (Nushrat Bharucha) and what ups and downs happens in his life is shown in the film.
Story is fresh while screenplay is predictable but dialogues written so brilliantly which makes the film out and out entertainer and one of the nice comedy film of this year or recent times. Obviously because director is already an experienced dialogue writer and in his film too he wrote such a witty humourous yet sometimes hard hitting dialogues. Hatz off to Raaj Shaandilya Sir for this.
Several dialogues are so so so funny such as Ayushmann offers a seat to lady in a bus when he returns from an interview without getting a job "Aap Yahan Baith Jaiye Mai To Waise Bhi Ghar Pe Baitha Hi Rehta Hun"
Rajesh Sharma tells him to read the agreement before signing Ayushmann tells "15-17 saal padhai hi ki hai kuchh nahin mila".
Vijay Raaz' best dialogue besides his all the poetries in the film "Policewale agar kisi ko kuchh dene lage to fir kahe ke Policewale" this was so funny at the same time hard hitting.
What a writing. Loved it.
Performances by supporting cast is outstanding. Vijay Raaz superb as Police Constable who's drunk and poet most of the time. Nidhi Bisht is also playing deadly role whose heart is broken three times by various boys and he has no more faith in boys now. Abhishek Banerjee who's playing Brahmchari brother of Nushrat Bharucha is also funny and enjoyable.
Manjot Singh as friend of Ayushmann is also superb and has got some very good lines. He has done good job. Rajesh Sharma is also good in his role.
Nushrat Bharucha looks stunning and beautiful. He plays her part so well but doesn't have much to do besides lending support to Ayushmann.
Annu Kapoor is one of my fav performers who never disappoints with their performance. Whether that's Jolly LLB2 or this or any of his film i remember he has done superb dialogues delivery and out and out watchable character. Here he's playing role of father of Ayushmann who's lost his wife earlier and stayed whole life alone with his son.
Annu Kapoor has so much potential and he's a true theatre artist who can act brilliantly all the time. Here he doesn't have much important or detailed role but still when his scene comes he steals the show. He's mind blowing.
Lastly the one who's the main positive point of the film is Ayushmann Khurrana. He's the one who accepted many challenging roles in his short span of career. From Vicky Donor to Andhadhun to this loved him most of his films. Here the role of girl who's many times earlier portrayed by many brilliant actors in the history of Bollywood also for comedy many TV shows using the idea of transformation of a boy in the role of girl is great watch for an audiences.
Role of Karam/Pooja both extremely well played by him. For me it's not his best performance or best film but yet it's an entertaining and also gives message in the climax part. It's our good luck to see films of an actor like Ayushmann who's doing thrillers like Andhadhun and same time comedies like Badhaai Ho and this one. It's our fortune to have very talented actor like him in the industry. He's one of the best performers of coming age.
Many congratulations to him and best wishes for his super success ahead.
Music of the film is also ok i loved Radhe Radhe track.
Overall for me it was entertaining, engaging and specially for outstanding performance by Ayushmann Khurrana i will go with
3.5/5.

Review of Chhichhore . . .

Review of Chhichhore . . .

I really didn't like the trailer of this film because it seemed typical college story kinda film and specially older looks of the cast are not convincing for me. I found it below average and expected that it's going to be a soft comedy drama like many film makers delivering every year and rarely one or two of them have the right content. I loved work of Director Nitesh Tiwari in Dangal but trailer of Chhichhore didn't impress me much so i didn't go on first day of it's release generally i go on Friday for most of films. When i looked at the calendar of up coming Bollywood films then there are two more films Dream Girl & Prassthanam that I'm thinking to watch it in theatre. I was not curious for Chhichhore.
 On first day i found reviews on social media and unexpectedly maximum of reviewers were giving thumps up to this film. Many people compared this with 3 Idiots or Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander kinda films. My friend also talked to me regarding this and finally i decided to watch on Sunday.
Nitesh Tiwari ji who directed a content driven blockbuster Aamir Khan starrer Dangal came up with another good entertaining and wonderful film Chhichhore. Story set in College Days includes Emotions, Sports, Comedy and mix up all these ingredients a predictable yet engaging film emerged.
Writing of the film is backbone. Excellent Performances by Sushant Singh Rajput, Taher Raj Bhasin, Varun Sharma, Shraddha Kapoor and other supporting cast. Still i stay unconvinced with their old age look but besides this there is a lot to enjoy it the film.
wonderful message " it's okay to be a Looser sometimes" it works so well.
Flashbacks with introduction of each character is very well directed, various Sports in college is also nice part of the film, Entry of Taher is brilliant, Friendship of them definitely reminded me of Hirani's 3 Idiots. There are some enjoyable scenes but double meaning dialogues to create a humor is what makes the film adult and i can't give a label of family film to this and yes definitely you can enjoy it with college friends or specially if you stayed in hostel it's time to relieve your old memories with it.
Shraddha Kapoor doesn't have much to do but looks nice and delivered her performance with and ease. I'm happy that she's improving her acting skills with Stree or Saaho or Chhichhore. I didn't like her in earlier films. Good luck to sweetie.
SSR is damn good in college time while in older look he didn't justify or i think i didn't like it. Not his great performance but good one.
Rest casting is so nice and all of them delivered superb performances.
It's light hearted emotional drama yet fun ride. Title could've been something else more suitable.

Review of Mission Mangal . . .

Review of Mission Mangal . . .

Jagan Shakti's directorial debut with creative help of concept oriented film maker R Balki released on Independence Day. Mission Mangal released on a day when our ISRO completed 50 years. Nation was celebrating Independence Day as well as Rakshabandhan Festival along with that there were something else to celebrate holiday with families, friends etc. On 15th August 2 big films arrived Mission Mangal & Batla House, 1 Hollywood film released in India Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and in addition to these 1 web series released by Netflix which is Sacred Games Season 2.
So for film lovers like me it was celebration. I went for Mission Mangal on very first day.  Being fan of Akki i have to watch his films on first day of it's release.
A true story based on Mars Orbited Mission a historical job by scientists of ISRO. It has patriotism, it is a tale of pride of nation and Bollywood film makers have Akshay Kumar as always first choice for portraying as a lead.
Akki did many films in his this inning such as Kesari, Airlift, Baby, Holiday, PadMan, Toilet-Ek Prem Katha etc which are based either on true stories or it has full dozed patriotism.
Akki playing a lead of Mission Director who's handling the Mission to reach Mars. Followed by Second lead is Vidya Balan who's the one which steals the show besides Akki. She has very pivotal role in the Mission and also in the film. Rest team which joins the Mission are played well by other Actors.
Sonakshi Sinha is very good in her role, Sharman Joshi didn't have much to do but still his role was enough to make people laugh in the theatre. Nithya Menen did very good job in her first Hindi film. Kirti Kulhari a Muslim girl finding a house in Bangalore to live also lends good support in the Mission, Lastly in the team my most fav Taapsee Pannu OMG she looks damn beautiful in her look and she also did fantastic job here. I loved Taapsee in her Saree look more. I think in straight hair she looks damn stunning. Loved her. Vikram Gokhale as a director of ISRO is superb.
It's story of victory of scientists of ISRO. Mission Mangal is entertaining, engaging, high concept, patriotic and definitely a good watch for families and specially ladies would love to watch it because it already has Mahila Mandal to accomplish a Mission. It's enjoyable with family except only one scene where (Taapsee is learning driving).
Inspite of having use of English writing work is something which makes film more massy entertaining.
It has some really good scenes which deserve applaud specially in climax when efforts of ISRO scientists to send satellite from Earth to Mars succeeds all the citizens feel proud for the triumph.
It has great references such as picture of Vikrambhai Sarabhai, some brilliant talks of former president of India and Scientist of ISRO Dr.A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Sir whom i admire and respect a lot well every Indian loves him for his unforgettable contribution to science and nation.
Screenplay is predictable but still an engaging due to portions of various actors in appropriate time. Akki and Vidya is having more space than Taapsee, Sharman, Kirti etc stayed unutilized.
Music is not an important for the film but Background Score is nice.
Debutant Director succeed to deliver an entertainment on this holiday.
It's good to see Akki is doing films on patriotism, social issues, true incidents which makes his career more successful. It's his time to earn as much as stardom in coming few years and proves himself a SUPERSTAR. He is having very good pipeline for 2019-2020 with different genres of films. Good luck to him for super success.
On the whole i liked it and would recommend ladies, families and fans to have a good time in holiday/weekend. I'm sure it's going to have a sound Box-Office collection.

Review of Article 15 . . .

Review of Article 15 . . .

Anubhav Sinha last year made a film called Mulk in which i was so emotionally invested and loved it so much. It was story of a Muslim family and lives of Muslims live in the nation addressed brilliantly. If i look back to his old work then Dus comes to mind which is my all time favorite entertaining film. From Tum Bin, Ra.One or Dus to Mulk & Article 15 from fictional entertainment to social issue of the nation based films he emerged as successful director.
It is based on discrimination between castes, centuries stupid caste system and atrocities. Story set in Laalganv of UP state where Ayushmann Khurrana gets transfer as an IPS officer and deals with the case of Honor Killing of 3 girls. Later story unfolds it's not an honor killing but gang rape and murder and 2 bodies found lynched on the tree while 1 girl is still missing and story goes on. It has suspense, social drama, thrill, an eye opener message. It is not high octane cop thriller neither it's an soft hearted film. It has some ground breaking sequences which are eye opener for all the Indian citizen.
In our country what's going wrong not only the fault of government but people themselves are creating mess in the society by breaking Indian constitution.
This film highlights the fundamental rights of humans no matter which caste he/she belongs to. In Article 15 of Indian Constitution there's main thing which everybody needs to know about Prohibition of Discrimination on the grounds of Religion, Caste, Sex or Place of birth etc. It gives message on equality. There is no one in the nation who's caste or religion is upper than other. All are same and there has to be the right to equality. Government and people themselves should stop discriminate among society.
Film is so relevant and kept me thinking again and again whether I'm one of them who's doing this shit or not? I confess here that once upon a time i was when i had no knowledge of any religion or caste or i can say when i was immature. During up bringing children get to know these shit things from their environment like you're from upper caste you should not eat, play or even touch the lower caste children and if you're doing this by mistake then quickly wash your hands or bath. This is what our Indian children learn during getting adult & most shitty thing is they keep doing this even after getting their education. I really feel so awkward or shameful or sad whenever I'm seeing this kind of discrimination nowadays in 2019.
In film there are some breathtaking scenes which proves writing and direction of the story is what makes film worth watch.
Manoj Pahwa feeding biscuits to dog because he has sympathy for them at the same time he hates lower caste people such as Dalits.
Followed by Ayushmann asking castes to all of his team,
Ayushmann is talking to her love regarding issues he faces,
Kumud Mishra explains to Manoj Pahwa what to do if Sir is asking me about the case in details,
Manoj Pahwa runs towards Kumud Mishra to talk with him,
Whole team pre climax walking in the mud lake to find the missing girl,
During interval Ayushmann is sticking Article 15 on notice board of police station and Vande Mataram is playing in background,
Mohmad Zeeshan Ayyub having conversations with Ayushmann in his cameo,
Resembles of Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar and M.K.Gandhi leaves very good impact in the screenplay.
Last but most powerful and gave me goosebumps and made me sad was one guy who's cleaning gutter and later Ayushmann address that thing to CBI officer that they what we call rubbishy Maadarjat cleaning dirt of our society.
All of these scenes and some more make the film must watch for all the Indians. If we don't watch it then who's gonna watch it?
Cinematography is top notch, village scenes, forest scenes, lake scenes etc shot superbly.

Background Music is also very nice. Thank God it doesn't have unnecessary songs. Vande Mataram and in climax there's Vaishnav Jan To songe in background.

Performances by Manoj Pahwa, Kumud Mishra, Two actresses, Mohmad Zeeshan Ayyub (Cameo) and other casting brilliant.
Ayushmann steals the show with his intense acting. Ayushmann Khurrana is not a superstar or crowd puller hero but definitely his choices of the film is crowd puller and with this he becomes a star as well as labelling himself as versatile actor. He proved himself in Badhaai Ho or Shubh Mangal Savdhan & i became his biggest fan after Andhadhun. I wish he may achieve lot of success in future. Hatz Off.
Writing work is OUTSTANDING. Direction is FANTASTIC. It's and engaging thriller of recent times.
Note my words it's gonna do decent business at Box-Office due to word of mouth publicity. It's not a film which can break records of first day collection or 100cr or 200cr clubs but for sure it's going to earn what it deserves.
It's definitely recommended to the people of India. Go watch and learn a lot from this one regarding fundamental rights.
Overall one of the finest films came out this year. Kudos to Anubhav Sinha, Ayushmann Khurrana and team Article 15.
3.8/5.

Review of Kabir Singh . . .

Review of Kabir Singh . . .

So finally Sandeep Reddy Vanga made a hindi version of one of my most favorite Telugu films Arjun Reddy. For me which is 5/5 stars ratings film. It's not just a film but NASHA. A truly masterpiece. I'm personally so much connected with Arjun Reddy. There are 2 love stories with I'm connected so much one is Tere Naam & 2nd Arjun Reddy. 

Some times back when i heard the news of it's remake in Hindi i was scared whether it will be enough good to re watch that story in hindi or it will ruin the original one. Casting of Shahid will be appropriate choice or not? Then relief came when i got to know that same director Sandeep Reddy Vanga is making a hindi version.
Teaser released last month and in teaser they added one of the best scenes of film when Kabir Singh shouts badwords on call when he gets to know that some guys misbehaved with his love Priti (Kiara Advani) in the name of Holi. I was amazed with that teaser and damn excited to watch it.
Story already i knew and nothing much changes they did in this so all i wanted was to re live the world of a true lover and by profession surgeon who is addicted to cigarettes smoking, alcohol consumption, drugs & SEX and became a self destructive person with ZERO at anger management. He ruins his life when he doesn't get Priti. His character is so negative at the same time so caring and possessive when it comes to his loved one. I don't support alcohol or drugs consumption i want to make one thing clear here that i loved the film Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh but i don't promote to follow him. Specially youths never ever be this kind of person who destroys his life. Take positive things from this character such as Loving, Caring and Study. He's ranker in his field. It's combination of good sides and bad sides of a lover.
When i watched Arjun Reddy in Telugu with subtitles i was hangover till 3-4 days. I was so disturbed at the same time in love with the character. From the core of my heart i had immense respect for Vijay for playing such a fantastic role.
Shahid Kapoor also did the same magic. I really loved Shahid in some of his films such as Vivah, Haider, Kaminey etc where he showed us that he's is a good actor and it needs some great directors to bring that natural acting from him. Here too he proves himself as a fantastic actor. When he came in the industry and did some films people thought he will be the next SRK but unfortunately his career didn't work well but yes in some films he proved that he has that potential of being solid actor but it doesn't come out all the time like SRK.
Nothing much to write about the scenes because it is almost same as Arjun Reddy. Music is one of the big positive point for the film. Whenever Bollywood adapts a film from South or other industry they provide solid music to attract audiences. E.g. Wanted, Rowdy Rathore, Ghajini etc.
Background Msuic is damn good. Entry scene of Kabir Singh, when he rides Royal Enfield Bullet BGM works like an additional screenplay.
Kiara Advani steals the show. She's so beautiful and natural in the role of Priti. Loved her. I wish he may get more work as lead post this one.
Other casting is very nice. Actor who plays role of Kabir's friend is superb. & Who plays brother of Kabir is damn good.
Actually there is so much to write up about the character of Arjun Reddy or Kabir Singh and that can be a long long article but here i will end up writing this review of film in short.
As it is remake and i watched original one so no more technical discussion about the film but yes they handled with quality if it was made by any other Director then it might not be this much good.
I would recommend fans of Shahid go and watch the film. Those who have seen Arjun Reddy they might not like this so much but it's definitely worth watch. It's also for those who's in the acting field to learn what is role playing go and watch. It's for those who believe in TRUE LOVE and to know whether love makes life live or in some cases love makes life hell.
Overall for their efforts and specially for Shahid i will go with
4.3/5.
