Why Housefull 2 Works

ShareIt was a crowded Sunday afternoon. He was standing in the queue, representing the other five as well. It was hot and grimy, much like how it gets on an April afternoon in Mumbai. Outside of temperature-controlled rooms, life can get a little sticky. Draped in the sweat of mindless,...

Ishaqzaade Movie Review – Small Size

Share Ishaqzaade is essentially, old wine in a new bottle. The inter-caste love story invoking parental ire is as formulaic as it can get. But this grunged out bottle placed in the hinterland of India against some phenomenal sound design is certainly worthy of a one time watch. The rustic...

ShareVicky Donor is massively entertaining, a little preachy, a tad too long – but for it’s wonderful attempt at playing with a largely unaddressed topic, I absolutely recommend this. Watch it for the fresh as rain lead pair, Ayushmann and Yami. And the even more wonderful Anu Kapoor, Vicky’s modern as the Delhi metro grandmon,...

Now, design new product for the ignored other. Alienate existing loyal fan base. Disappoint the ones who did not care anyway. Go back to soul search land. Or spiral downward....
