URI: THE SURGICAL STRIKE MOVIE REVIEW
The heart throb, Vicky Kaushal returned to the cinemas with Uri:The Surgical Strike last friday with a much awaited role.
Though everyone was quite aware of the storyline and the series of events, it didn’t stop people from going to the cinemas and watching it and the box office numbers are speaking for themselves.
Hindi films are about emotion and not nuance. It’s just their grammar, and not necessarily a flaw or a shortcoming. But Uri: The Surgical Strike, is fashioned as a different kind of Bollywood war film, recalling the retaliatory strikes undertaken by the Indian Army on terrorist launch pads in Pakistan, and if pruned judiciously it might’ve worked as a crisp, gritty procedural.

The protagonist, Vicky Kaushal was a perfect fit for the role of Major Vihaan Shergil, with the physical bulkiness combined with the sheer conscientiousness that the role required. The laudable cinematography makes the movie all the more gripping, filling us with suspense and terror despite already knowing the outcome.

Another thing I really liked was that the movie avoided extreme jingoism, unlike most Bollywood movies. It isn’t another patriotic movie with men in uniforms thumping their chests claiming their love for the nation, though it does have dialogues like “Unhe kashmir chahiye aur hume unka sarr” but us Bollywood fans are a sucker for such lines, aren’t we!

All in all, it’s being viewed as a fitting tribute to the Indian Army but cannot be considered as perfect. There is too much focus upon the personal life of Vihaan Shergill in the first half of the movie which makes it a bit sluggish. The second half gets more interesting with the entire planning sequence and conducting the entire operation. The film does have certain flaws in direction, script, dialogue writing etc. Firstpost has given it a 3.5/5 rating and I cannot agree more.

In my view, Vicky Kaushal has given an excellent performance and this movie can be taken as an apt tribute for the Army of our country.

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT Shring Bring Sarvaling ,BhootBhavishyaVartamaanBadling! One can’t resist being driven away by the sense of nostalgia while being stumbled upon this mantra!  It was unarguably the era of entertainment .While a decade has passed on, Shararat, the fantasy sitcom spanning over 5 installments, definitely gives away every 90s’ kid a chance to brag about those good old days. Shararat revolves around the world of fairies and magic. What added to the delight in the mind of its viewers was the subtle comedy and the perfect comic timing. The Malhotra family involving a mischievous ‘nani’ with her impeccable magic chants, a docile mummy who has settled down with the menial jobs she has to perform as a typical housewife , and a naïve and vulnerable Jiya ,whose life has become miserable since the day she is wielded with magic powers, certainly Shararat was a visual treat. But the story had not been far  more convincing without the starry l...

SON PARI

Son pari Mumkin ko namumkin kar de Namumkin ko mumkin Son pari sab hal karti hain Sabki mushkil sab din. Whenever I used to hear this song I used to rush towards my television, because this was my favourite show - "SON PARI" Son Pari was basically a fantasy- adventure TV series. It is based on the story of a little girl name Fruity, who receives a magical gem that, when rubbed, summons a fairy named Son Pari and her friend Altu. Son Pari and Altu start meeting Fruity regularly and have many adventures. They help her get rid of Ruby, a woman who wants to marry Fruity's father, Rohit, for his money. Son Pari is also entitled to save Fruity from Kali Pari ( the main villain). Everyone wishes to have a fairy godmother like Son Pari at some point in their lives. A Pari ( angle) who can solve their problems with a spin of her wand. And this TV show was so famous and loved by everyone  because it used to take us to that fantasy world of angels and magic. This s...

INDIAN MAKEUP TRENDS OVER THE YEARS

From Saira Banu in Padosan, Sridevi in Chandini, Karishma Kapoor in Dil Toh Pagal Hai to our all time favourite Poo in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum and Mili in Khoobsurat, the fashion and makeup trends have been all fancy and crazy yet so aesthetic and elegant and these leading ladies are surely 'Goals'.  One of the most significant shifts that  have been observed over the years in the beauty industry is the ultimate evolution of make-up trends varying from vibrant and vivid looks to nude face concepts. Makeup can not be talked about separately when it comes to beauty and fashion,it is an expressive(and perceived to be expensive by men) art, which has evolved immensely over the past century and has vividly been an integral part of our culture. But what have been the major stages of this evolution? Let us take a dive in the past and follow up to the time of the millennials.  THE ERA OF SIMPLICITY(1910) -There was hardly any makeup and plain sarees with little or no de...
