Love Hostel Review: Noir at its Gruesome Best

Love Hostel is violent, vicious and clutches at your throat throughout a run-time shouldered by terrific performances by Vikrant Massey, Sanya Malhotra and chief among them, a chilling turn by Bobby Deol.

Are We Ready for Bobby Deol’s Dhai Kilo Ka Comeback?

Back in the day, there was something about Bobby Deol – the curls and the dimples, the biceps and the dancing movies. But soon, he became a meme. Now, rising from the ashes of all those jokes, Deol is a man approaching 50, and ready to make a comeback with Race 3.

Thank You Soldier for the Ultimate Bobby Deol Experience

After Soldier, the verdict was out. Bobby Deol’s uncontainable sex appeal was in fashion, and the #ForearmAppreciationClub was in full swing. That lasted for a brief, wonderful minute.

Behind the Scenes at Baba Siddique’s Iftar Party

Once a year, Bollywood’s best and brightest stars attend a feast for the ages. What went down at this year’s party, where Shah Rukh was absent, Sallu was present, and Bobby Deol made a return to action?

Class of 83 Review: Netflix Film Offers the Dangerous Idea of a Police Force Answerable to No One

Despite the disclaimer at the beginning of the Bobby Deol-starrer Class of 83, the message that the film unwittingly “endorses” is this: The police force can only live up to its fullest potential when they have no one to answer to, which is an altogether scary proposition even in the realms of fiction.

Abhay Deol, The Actor Who Survived Despite Bollywood

In this week’s forgettable Chopsticks, Abhay Deol plays a conman who has a refined taste. His filmography is now littered with peculiar outings that primarily serve the cachet of being Abhay Deol. And his early films – Dev.D and Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! – resemble the slate of an actor who peaked even before his career took off.

2017: The Year That Destroyed ’90s Bollywood

This was the year our rose-tinted memories of the glorious ’90s died. “Oonchi Hai Building” is permanently sullied by Varun Dhawan and we’ll never look at Govinda, Sridevi, and Sanjay Dutt the same way again.

The Jinx of Jhoom Barabar Jhoom

On this day, ten years ago, Shaad Ali’s ambitious musical, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, single-handedly sounded the death knell for five flourishing careers.

Housefull 4 Review: A Collection of Cringe-worthy Jokes That Range From Absurd to Insensitive

Housefull 4, much like its predecessors, is a collection of crass jokes stitched into a completely brainless plot. From the first frame to the last, everything about the movie screams “why”. It’s pointless to ask why Bollywood is still making such atrocious films, but why on earth are we still watching them?

Nanu Ki Jaanu and the Deol-ification of Abhay

With Nanu Ki Jaanu, Abhay Deol finally feels like a member of the Deol family. He fights multiple goons single-handedly, just like his “dhai kilo ka haath” cousin. His comic timing is about as good as Bobby’s, which is to say, non-existent. Where is the actor we knew and loved in Dev.D and Manorama Six Feet Under?
