Sab Kushal Mangal Movie Review: Akshaye Khanna shines in this Priyadarshan style wedding comedy

Sab Kushal Mangal could have been a decent situational comedy with better writing and editing. It is an average film that won't give you a headache nor would it leave you satisfied.

This year, we had a comedy around Pakadwa Vivaah in Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra's Jabariya Jodi. Karan Kashyap's Sab Kushal Mangal is in the same genre. The film reminds you of Priyadarshan's comedies like Hungama and Malamal Weekly in it's treatment. Here is our review of the film...
What is it about?
Pappu Mishra (Priyaank Sharma) is the hotshot reporter of a Hindi news channel. His reality-style reporting of Pakadwa Vivaah has made him a known face. Baba Bhandari (Akshaye Khanna) the local Baahubali of Karnalganj decides to kidnap him for a girl. A series of misunderstanding occur, which changes the lives of Pappu and Baba Bhandari.

Shimla Mirchi movie review: It's heartbreaking to see Ramesh Sippy and Hema Malini reduce themselves to tripe

Shimla Mirchi follows perennially unlucky-in-relationships Avinash (Rajkummar Rao) who falls head-over-heels in love after casting his first sight on Naina (Rakul Preet Singh) while on a family vacation in Shimla, only to find his bumbling, fumbling ways at handling a relationship, mixed with a bit of wrong advice, land him in a right pickle when Naina's mother, Rukmini (Hema Malini) mistakes Avinash's surreptitious advances for herself

Films that have been delayed for long, usually carry a sign of impending doom once they finally see the light of day. Very few like Pakeezah (16-year delay), Bajirao Mastani (8-year delay) and, to an extent, Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam (6-year delay) have managed to rise above the curse on the strength of their quality that stands the test of time. Unfortunately, Shimla Mirchi joins the rest of the sorry bunch.

C
hhapaak movie review: Deepika Padukone and Meghna Gulzar take us through an 'acid' test of a scarring issue

The trailer made it pretty evident that Chhapaak tells the harrowing real-life tale of acid-attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal (name changed to Malti), played by Deepika Padukone

Films based on social issues or even women's issues for that matter aren't new to Bollywood. They've been existing since the inception of Hindi cinema with films like Achhut Kanya and have found a special place in the hearts of Hindi movie-buffs with gems like Mirch Masala, Chandni Bar and Mrityudand. However, very few of those gems glitter enough like Mother India, Damini, Queen, Mardaani and Pink to bridge the gap between the mainstream audience and hardcore film-buffs. In fact, only Mother Indian and Damini among these managed to compete with the biggest massy films of their time on the strength of footfalls alone, leave along their quality. So, where does Chhapaak fall as the newest entrant in this list? Let's find out. Scroll down to read our Chhapaak movie review.

What's it about
The trailer made it pretty evident that the Chhapaak movie tells the harrowing real-life tale of acid-attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal (name changed to Malti), played by Deepika Padukone. We're taken through the actual incident, its aftermath, the years of uphill battle faced by Malti and other victims like her to bring about change as well as the events leading to the fateful event when her life was put through hell.

Darbar movie review: An explosion for Rajinikanth fans, an implosion for others

Darbar presents Rajinikanth as Aadhithya Arunachalam, a cop with grey shades, who doesn't hesitate to take the law in his own hands

Making a superstar film is extremely difficult in India. And if you're name is Rajinikanth, then the task becomes all the more demanding because unlike an Ajith, a Surya, a Jr. NTR, an Allu Arjun or a Shah Rukh, Hrithik Roshan and Amitabh Bachchan in Bollywood, every Rajini film must be filled with massy moments and his trademark mannerisms; no way can he ever try his hand at other genres (Mani Ratnam's Thalapathi back in 1992 is the only exception.) Even Salman Khan or Vijay are permitted by their fans to do mix it up at times, but no such leeway is offered by Thalaivar's devotees. This could also be why other than Petta that released last year, no film of his since Ethiran (Robot) back in 2010 has managed to exploit the superstar's charisma for modern tastes.
In this challenging scenario, avant-garde Director A.R. Murugadoss, a seld-proclaimed, diehard Rajinikant fan himself (then again, who isn't), throws his hat in the ring, making his task all the more testing by giving Thalaivar to don the khaki uniform after 25 years. Does the ace Director and one of the world's biggest moviestars manage to pull-off a fine balancing act in Darbar for both the fans and neutral viewers? Well, sometimes they do, at other times they don't. Read my full Darbar movie review below to know more...
