If you want to punish someone then recommend them to watch this!
Oh God! What a terrible terrible movie!
And just so you know I fell asleep in the midst....
Ha ha ha
It WAS that terrible.
The story premise is good enough. A writer - director gets a writers block and his protagonists are then frozen in time until the writer unfreezes!
But the director got it so horribly wrong....
And the he had the cheek to end it all by saying a film by Vikramjit Singh ....
Gosh if I had made something so terrible I never ever would put my name to it...
2 such bad movies in 2 weeks...
Bollywood you are descending into the realm of grandiose ideas with utterly flawed execution...
To be experimental is just peachy. Look how well Queen and Lunchbox worked. As did Haider. 
But if you can't follow through then please don't put out a product with big name stars and inveigle poor unsuspecting souls like us to come to the theatres and waste our time and money.
Ranbir said in an interview that he isn't promoting the film as he had a small role, but truth be told he probably didn't want anything further to do with this misery of a movie. Seriously he needs to think hard about his career. From Besharam to this.... its like going from the frying pan into the fire. And if Bombay Velvet too is as pathetic then he will have to do something extra special to claw his way back. And the truth is that in this movie he actually has a decent sized role. But all that he does is carry the same expression throughout and it doesn't help that 90% of his face is covered with hair.
What a waste...
Arjun Rampal broods and scowls his way through the movie and Jacqueline is maxed out playing a double role! This lady can barely manage one role per movie so imagine getting her to do a double role. Really? I mean what were you thinking?
The cinematographic tone of the movie is fine but I was too bored to enjoy that and the songs came and went leaving no delible mark!
All in all avoid unless you have masochistic tendencies!

Monica, O My Darling

Straight off the bat, let me tell you that I went into this movie cold. I just saw the trailer and put it on my watch list. I was totally enamored with the cast and the premise. I knew I was going to watch this one, so I didn't delve into the promotional shenanigans.  So if you are of the same bent of mind, stop reading and start watching.  And on your behalf, I did Google Ankola, it is a town in Karnataka and is not to be confused with Akola in Maharashtra. Ha ! Ha! Netflix has been delighting us with gems like Raat Akeli thi, Haseen dilruba and Bulbul. Add this one to that list and think Gehraiyaan. I need not stress on the proficient star cast. They are masters of their craft. Starting with the sneaky Rajkummar Rao, the sultry Huma Quereshi and the wily Radhika Apte, the ensemble includes the creepy Sukant Goel, the beleaguered Zayn Marie and many others. For me Sikandar Kher was a standout. A shoutout to his intensity and his baritone.  The dialogues are spot on and t...

Razorblade Tears by S A Cosby

    This book belongs to the revenge trope and I enjoyed reading it for a reason, other than just the story or the thrills, it was for the delicious turn of phrase, that the author employed. Here are some examples: “It didn’t seem fair for a man to mourn someone so deeply, whom he had loved so miserly!” “Wound on his cheek was weeping like a broken-hearted bride.” “As careful as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.” “Give a man a clipboard and watch his true nature come out.” “He smiled; it was like watching an icicle form.” The story is about two men who are bound by destiny, when their sons who were married, are murdered. The tapestry is enriched by the fact that one family is black and the other is white. Throw in the fact that both the fathers are ex-cons and you have an intrigue on hand. Other than the language I liked the way the conversations were handled and how the characters were revealed by thought, word and deed, rather than extrapo...
