Sense and Sensibility movie review: Daisy Edgar-Jones shines in this genteel persuasion
Regency England comes alive in all its visual and aural splendor in this adaptation of Jane Austens debut novel
Star Cast: Ritwik Bhowmik, Rohini Hattangady, Ayesha Raza, Shivika Rishi Director: Radhika Bansal Meethe Mein Kya Hai Movie Review Synopsis: MEETHE MEIN KYA HAI is the story of a family reunion. Jai Agarwal (Ritwik Bhowmik) is an architect whose wife Tara (Kanikka Kapur) passed away two years ago in a car accident. He is yet to move on from her demise. He has distanced himself from his family and informs them that he won't be able to attend the Diwali get-together at his nani's (Rohini Hattangady) residence in Lucknow. However, his sister Sana (Dalai) calls him and reveals that she has secretly got married. Hence, she requests him to be present when she introduces her husband Karam (Vikram Bakshi) to the family at the Diwali gathering. Jai reluctantly agrees and reaches his nani's house, where he meets his mother Amrita (Ayesha Raza), father Ajay (Gaurav Sharma), mami Preeti (Tarana Raja), mama Rishab (Abhay Kaul) and their son Sid (Ayuushman Ghai). He also bumps into his nani's 13-year-old neighbour, Meera (Shivika Rishi), and the two strike up an unlikely friendship. A day later, Sana and Karam arrive and, as expected, all hell breaks loose. What happens next forms the rest of the film. Meethe Mein Kya Hai Movie Story Review: Radhika Bansal's story is relatable and sweet. Radhika Bansal's screenplay is breezy and peppered with heartwarming and emotional moments. However, the writing is weak in places. Radhika Bansal's dialogues are realistic yet entertaining. Radhika Bansal's direction is quite good for a first-timer. At a time when even experienced filmmakers struggle to get their humour right, MEETHE MEIN KYA HAI has moments that genuinely raise laughs. This is especially true in the initial portions, when Karam is introduced to the family. Meera's habit of pretending not to listen to conversations is also amusing. The film has a runtime of just 119 minutes and doesn't bore even for a moment. Moreover, the conflicts, joys and sorrows are rooted in everyday life and feel like situations that could happen to any one of us. Radhika maintains this relatability from start to finish. On the flipside, certain developments don't seem organic. In fact, a few conflicts appear to have been added just for the sake of it. For instance, Amrita, Ajay, Preeti and Rishab's insistence that nani should move to Jaipur instead of living alone feels forced. Jai accompanying Meera to her friend's house also comes out of nowhere. Individually, the scene is sweet, but it doesn't fit into the overall narrative. The same applies to the song Ichak Dana Bichak Dana. Another odd aspect are the scenes in which characters spill milk, wine and oil. These moments feel childish and out of place in an otherwise realistic film. Meethe Mein Kya Hai Movie Review Performances: Ritwik Bhowmik suits the part to a T. He delivers a fine performance as a man who is secretly grieving but is also trying his best to enjoy a much-needed family reunion. Rohini Hattangady is adorable, and only an actor of her calibre could have pulled off this role. Shivika Rishi is the surprise package of the film. She plays a well-written character and elevates it further with her performance. Ayesha Raza is slightly over-the-top, as required by her character. Gaurav Sharma, Tarana Raja and Abhay Kaul lend able support. Dalai and Vikram Bakshi leave a strong impression, especially the latter in the scene where he gets high. Ayuushman Ghai is okay and has limited scope. Kanikka Kapur, last seen in BATWARA 1947, is decent. Meethe Mein Kya Hai movie music and other technical aspects: Amit Trivedi's music is situational, but none of the songs 'Chad De Chad De', 'Karam Farma De', 'Ichak Dana Bichak Dana' and 'Jagmaga' are likely to have a long shelf life. Amit Trivedi's background score is much better. Piyush Puty's cinematography is satisfactory. Natasha Gauba's production design is authentic. Theia Tekchandaney and Ayushi Jain's costumes are realistic yet glamorous. Neha Mehra's editing is functional. Meethe Mein Kya Hai Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, MEETHE MEIN KYA HAI is a sweet, heartwarming family entertainer that works due to its relatable moments, genuine humour and fine performances. The film is arriving on Netflix with negligible hype and little buzz surrounding its release. However, thanks to its feel-good appeal and universal theme of family relationships, it has the potential to gradually find its audience through positive word of mouth.

Rakul-Jackky Celebrate Karva Chauth
From Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha celebrating mid-air to Kajal A Kitchlu marking her wedding anniversary, here's a look at how the stars made the occasion memorable with their partners.
Star Cast: Ansh Duggal, Pragati Srivastava Director: Rahul Shanklya Nakhrewaalii Movie Review Synopsis: NAKHREWAALII is the story of a man who finds himself in a unique situation. Sumit Mishra (Ansh Duggal) lives in Hardoi and is heartbroken after his girlfriend, Sweety, dumps him and marries an engineer. Sumit shifts to Delhi for higher studies and also with the intention of becoming a playboy. He rents a room in the house of Batuk (Gopal Datt), who lives with his wife Rekha (Kanupriya Shankar Pandit) and their 22-year-old daughter Paridhi (Pragati Srivastava). Sumit and Paridhi hit it off quite well and soon fall in love. Sumit confesses to Batuk and Rekha that he wishes to marry Paridhi. Batuk makes it clear that he'll agree to the union only if Sumit manages to land a government job within a month. Otherwise, he'll get Paridhi married to someone else. Sumit tries his best but fails to find a job. Left with no other option, he decides to disguise himself as a woman and assumes the identity of Sumita. This helps him land the job of a junior public relations officer in the Department of Postal Services. What happens next forms the rest of the film. Nakhrewaalii Movie Story Review: NAKHREWAALII is adapted from Satya Vyas' book 'Dilli Darbar'. The story certainly has potential. However, Divy Nidhi Sharma's screenplay is weak. Several romantic and emotional sequences fail to strike a chord. Divy Nidhi Sharma's dialogues try their best to contribute to the humour and succeed, albeit only partly. Rahul Shanklya's direction is decent. To give credit where it's due, he keeps the duration in check (129 minutes) and ensures that the narrative moves at a steady pace. The humour also improves in the second half, resulting in a few genuinely funny moments. Some scenes that stand out are Sumit getting NSD actors to his office, Mihika (Aayushi Verma) being consoled by Paridhi in Sumit's room, etc. The scene where Paridhi and Sumita bond during the wedding trial is sweet. In the second half, interesting parallels are drawn between Sumit's equation with Mihika at the latter's house and his interactions with her father, Rai Jaichand (Kumud Mishra), in the same place. On the flipside, Sumit's character is written in such a manner that it's difficult to root for him. Even when he has a change of heart and goes to great lengths to marry Paridhi, one never gets the feeling that he has genuinely transformed. As a result, his emotional journey fails to make the desired impact. Moreover, the humour falls flat in most scenes in the first half. It finally begins to work post-interval, but by then, the film starts bearing an uncanny resemblance to DREAM GIRL [2019]. This also robs NAKHREWAALII of its novelty. The finale, meanwhile, is far too convenient and fails to deliver the intended emotional payoff. Nakhrewaalii Movie Review Performances: Ansh Duggal tries his best to deliver an authentic performance, both as Sumit and Sumita. However, the writing lets him down, and his character fails to leave a lasting impression. Pragati Srivastava makes a confident debut and gets her act right. The same applies to Aayushi Verma, who makes her presence felt in a supporting role. Gopal Datt is dependable as always, while Kumud Mishra lends able support. Akash Makhija (Jagat Singh aka Jhaadi) is fine as Sumit's sidekick. Kanupriya Shankar Pandit is decent, while Brijendra Kala (Invigilator) is fair in a cameo. Rana Pratap Singh (Sushil Tiwari) is aptly cast. Kajal Bhadana (Seema) and Devika Singh (Sudha), however, ham a lot. Nakhrewaalii movie music and other technical aspects: The songs are forgettable, but all the tracks the title track, 'Kona', 'Betuka' and 'Yeh Bawla Hai' are well woven into the narrative. Aman Pant's background score is quirky and complements the film's theme. Chirantan Das' cinematography is satisfactory, while Nikhil Kovale and Apurva Bhagat's production design is realistic. Ankita Jha's costumes are fine, although the outfits worn by Ansh Duggal as Sumit bear a striking resemblance to Ranveer Singh's wardrobe in BAND BAAJA BAARAAT [2010], especially in the scenes set at his home. Abhishek Anand's editing is functional. Nakhrewaalii Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, NAKHREWAALII is let down by weak writing, unconvincing character development, humour that works only intermittently and a second half that bears an uncanny resemblance to DREAM GIRL. At the box office, the film stands virtually no chance of making a mark due to negligible awareness and its release during the dull pre-Diwali period.
