Slice-of-life and coming-of-age films are untapped territory for the Hindi film industry. Not many filmmakers have been able to fully utilize the amount of depth this genre brings to the table. Lakshya, Udaan, Wake Up Sid, and Queen are some of the finest examples of stories having a deep impact on the viewers. Kho Gaye Hum Kahan focuses on three best friends who tries to navigate their lives inside and outside of social media. There is a lot to unpack about how deeply social media ruins our real selves, and it is we who end up picking up the pieces.

Romantic comedy is probably regarded as the most worn-out genre. Especially when it comes to the template rom-com movies, where you can predict what will happen in the end from the very first minute. Netflix’s freshly baked Turkish rom-com Make Me Believe is exactly that kind. There is this girl and this guy who are at loggerheads, thanks to some past misunderstandings between them. There is the girl’s best friend. And the guy’s best friend. These best friends are hooking up. Both the girl’s and the guy’s grandmothers are trying to play cupid. Some routine work troubles the story arc. All these tropes are there. However, there is also a lot of effort involved, which is clearly visible.

‘Why always the same story’ reads the tagline of this movie. In essence, any love story at its core is always the same – Boy and Girl meet, fall in love, their love gets tested by difficult times. The only thing that varies is the “villain’ in the story. Earlier, Love had to fight the Society creating obstacles, then it was the family. For the current generation, it’s the inner demons which we often need to tackle. Imtiaz Ali uses this backdrop to give a sad sweet love story through Tamasha.
Amidst the gorgeous backdrop of Corcisa, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone have a chance encounter. The two decide to never reveal anything about them – “Familiarity leads to boredom”, says Ranbir’s character – and promise to not meet each other after they part ways.

Saturday’s episode of The Voice India, opened with a quick re-cap of the first two weeks of the show and a precap of this weekends show. The focus then shifted to the coaches who gave a comic breaking news update that coach Sunidhi had coach Mika’s sunglasses! I really do love watching the hilarious comic moments between the Fabulous Four!
The first contestant to perform of week three, was Snigdhajit Bhowmik who is 25 years old from Kolkata, West Bengal. Snighdajit performed ‘Dhan Te Nan’ from Kaminey. Coach Mika was the first to hit the buzzer followed by coaches Shaan, Sunidhi and Hr. All four coaches praised Snighdajit’s performance and then started their comic requests for him to join their team. Coach Hr even sang a popular Bengali phrase as Snighdajit is Bengali! After much cajoling, Snighdajit chose to be in team Shaan.
The second contestant was Garima Khiste.

Readers may recall that Bollywood Hungama had reported about Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt been signed up for Ayan Mukerji's next, in which Ranbir will be playing the role of a mythological superhero. If the rumor buzz is to be believed, then, it is going to be none other than the legendary Amitabh Bachchan who will be joining the film's cast. Even though the official announcement has not been made, everybody is waiting with bated breath for this (dream casting coup) news to come true. Karan Johar had even tweeted the release date of the film as 'December 23rd, 2016'. Director Ayan Mukerji has been a part of Dharma Productions since his debut and has made Wake Up Sid and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani under the banner. This will be his third film with Dharma Productions.

After Besharam and Roy, Bombay Velevt is Ranbir Kapoor's third film in a row that bombed at Box-office. And it has certainly shaken the actor, who has been applauded for his sterling performances and gave some really good films in the past.
Ranbir recently in one of the interviews poured his heart out saying that 'there's a sense of insecurity and I don't know what's happening with my career'. While we definitely understand the plight of his mind and the ongoing situations, all we have to say is there is a dawn after every dusk! There is still more to go and look forward to. The charming actor doesn't need to lose heart and hope.
If we look at his future projects, then Ranbir has three interesting films lined up namely Tamasha, Jagga Jasoos and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. While Jagga Jasoos is bit delayed (and it was even...
