In Charlie Chopra, it ceases to matter after a few episodes who the killer is. After a point, you just don’t care about this family of dysfunctional gold diggers. Each of them could have killed Brigadier Meherban...

Sooryavanshi
Starring Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan, Ranveer Singh
Direction by Rohit Shetty
Sooryavanshi peddles terrorism as a formula. When Muslim characters, mainly terrorists, appear on screen there is middle-eastern strain in the background, a rubaab strain can be heard in the distance. Sadly, Mohile’s enterprising spirit proves unequal to the film’s asinine aspirations to convert the currency of crossborder terrorism into a successful formula .Tragically Rohit Shetty and his team of writers which I am told includes an expert on political terrorism, seems to have hit bull’s eye. Going by the audiences’ reaction in the theatre,Rohit Shetty and Akshay Kumar have reason to rejoice.
Sooryavanshi plays the Good Muslim –Bad Muslim game with pitch-perfect aim. ‘Good Muslim’ Rajendra Gupta is pitched against ‘Bad Muslim’ Gulshan Grover in a chamber-room confrontation so clumsily orchestrated it looks like a Films Division propaganda film on communal harmony.

Mumbai, March 11 (Ians) Singer-composer Payal Dev reveals she used live instruments to record her new composition "Danka baja" in the upcoming film "Mumbai Saga".
"Given the grand scale of ‘Mumbai Saga', it was quite interesting to compose a festive song, something I have not done before for a movie. Initially I composed the hookline and we worked on the production. Once the track was ready, we reached out to (lyricist) Prashant Ingole and (singer) Dev Negi to record the song," said Payal.
The idea of using live instrument to record the song, as it was done in days of yore, helped because of the festive spirit of the song.
"Music producer Aditya Dev made sure that we used live instruments that are usually used to create the Ganpati vibe and authenticity to the song to make it sound grand," Payal said.
She is looking forward to the release of "Mumbai Saga" in theatres.

Mumbai, March 2: Bollywood has seen a surge in slice-of-life entertainers in recent years. However, this year, many top filmmakers seem bullish about reloading the vintage larger-than-life formula that was a rage in the eighties and the nineties.
Although vintage masala never went away, Bollywood lately had been veering towards realism when it came to characters, plot and other entertainment factors. The rise of Ott, where realistic content seems to find a better audience than the big screen and the need for filmmakers to woo the audience back to the theatres seem to be reasons why many in Bollywood is going no-holds-barred with cinematic idiom this year.
Some of the big films that revisit vintage masala with new-age swag were scheduled to hit the screens last year but got postponed owing to the Covid-19 pandemic. These mega entertainers are all riding high on star factor, heavy-duty dialogues, high-octane action sequences and,...
