Kareena Kapoor is undoubtedly the darling of the tabloids and she is loved a lot by her fans. The paparazzi’s hot favorite lass, Kareena is all the time popular. She has been under the big limelight since the day she dropped the extra kilos from her body and landed into the shape of size zero for the film ‘Tashan’. Her bikini body raised many eyebrows and she got flash bulbs due to the super slim figure. The film industry’s leading heroines started following her and size zero turned out to be a big trend in Bollywood and among the gals of the country.

But for last few years or so, Kareena has gained weight and turned voluptuous which made her super sexy with marvelous curves to make her extra alluring. She recently dolled up an item number for the film ‘Heroine’ and she slipped into a much revealing sexy saree. The look of this raunchy item number hit the web and the whole web and media got filled with buzz. Some compared her to Katrina Kaif saying she copied her style of Chikini Chameli and some said that she was on way to defeat Kat. But the interesting thing everyone liked her sexy look a lot.

Kareena says that she has returned to size zero for this item number in Heroine and she wanted to have the same curves which she had in Tashan. Kareena says that having a voluptuous body is IN than a fat body. And it is a dream of every girl to have svelte body.

Director: Ashfaque Makrani

Cast: Azim and Faith

Ashfaque Makrani’s directorial venture ‘Qasam Se Qasam Se’ stars Azim, Faith, Satish Kaushik and Rakhi Sawant in the lead. The romantic flick is of 2 hours and 30 minutes duration thus it means you will have to suffer the bad flick for this long time in theater. Now it depends on you whether you bear it sitting inside the theater or leave it to do something interesting. A fully boring outing, Qasam Se Qasam Se has nothing to allure you though the makers have tried to put masala in it by adding more than ten songs (around twelve songs) into the narrative and all seem forced. The story in dull and the script is utterly mundane with so many holes.

The story tells that the love for the couple – Azim and Faith is like breaking all barriers as long as they happen to be together. The flick launches Azim, the son of the producer Nazim Rizvi. The film is laced with full of humorless one liners, prolonged emotional drama and with the question will the couple or will they not be together. Having so much on one plate, the film really losses its worth and makes the viewer confused. There is a student movement which is out to fight for the justice. Love fears no one and the leading pair is against all even the death.

The film starts off with Professor Dilnaaz Doodhwala who quiz the students what the ellipsis or acronym stands for. The answers for the question are bound to shock the viewer and so if the teacher also (played by Rakhi Sawant).

The script is laced with so many faults – the big one is that the songs have been forcibly placed into the narrative like they have been placed on the situations of Rose Day, College Day, Farewell Day, Chocolate Day or many more situations. The direction is poor. Cinemotogrpahy is okay. Editing is not up to the mark. Music is lackluster and boring.

No one in star cast even the leading cast Azim and Faith attract the viewers.

On the whole, the film is a baldy made boring product.

Rating: 1/5

Film Critic: Goher Iqbal Punn
Director: Karan Gour
Cast: Rasika Dugal, Alekh Sangal and Nikita Anand

Starring Rasika Dugal, Alekh Sangal and Nikita Anand, the flick is the directorial venture of Karan Gour. Kshay is a psycho thriller and holds the viewers attention from the initials frames till the climax. The film carries enticing storyline and catchy script. The execution of the subject on screen is what you start liking it.

Kshay talks about a woman and her increasing fixation with a statute. The woman (Rasika Dugal) is not in a position to purchase the sculpture. But it does stop her to making the planning for getting it. As the movie grows and glides on you, you begin viewing the fact that she is more than willing to go to any kind of extent to have it. Simultaneously he will gets disguised as a skirmish between sanity and delusion.

The plot is much interesting and grabs the viewer’s attention from the outset. The screenplay has been written by the director of the movie Karan Gour with gusto. Although it is catchy but features few flaws. Since the overall outcome of the movie is grabbing and appealing, the viewer ignores the flaws. Direction is first rate. Cinematography is luminous. Editing is crispy. Background score is wonderful.

Rasika Dugal plays the character of rattled woman with perfection and finesse. Her blank expressions too speak volumes. Alekh Sangal enacts the role of a loving but puzzled husband. He essays the part adroitly.

The film has appealing values for the viewers and they would not disappoint watching it rather would love it thoroughly.

On the whole, Kshay is a brilliantly made psycho thriller.

Rating: 3.5/5
