At a time when OTT platforms are overflowing with gritty thrillers and intense dramas, Netflix’s “The Royals” offers a much-needed escape into a world of luxury, romance, and family dynamics. At its heart, the series is a maximalist rom-com built on the most classic of tropes — opposites attract, rich boy meets self-made girl, palace intrigue meets pitch decks — dressed in some of our favourite buzzwords: feminist, queer-friendly, and unapologetically fashionable. It is refreshing to see a desi series embrace froth and flamboyance without constantly apologising for it. Then again, being aware of one’s aesthetic does not excuse narrative shortcuts. While "The Royals" delivers big on styling and spectacle, its storytelling often trips on its own heels.
After the phenomenal success of “Stree 2”, Rajkummar Rao is all set to embark on his next cinematic venture, an action-packed thriller titled “Maalik”.
This star-studded occasion brought together celebrities from diverse nations, with Arifin Shuvoo proudly representing Bangladesh.
Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar doesn't agree with the idea that good looking actors aren't talented.
The first-look teaser for Anubhav Sinha's socio-political thriller, “Bheed”, which stars Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar, is out now. The monochrome teaser introduces the film's lead characters and showcases the struggles of marginalised workers during the 2020 nationwide lockdown.
Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar has broken stereotypes even before the release of her debut film “Dum Laga Ke Haisha”, a content-driven movie which was critically-acclaimed and fetched her a Filmfare award for best debut female actor.
Actress Bhumi Pednekar, who is gearing up for the release of “Toilet: Ek Prem Katha”, said working with her co-actor Akshay Kumar in the film was a “delight”.
In an industry where slim waists, six-packs and fit frames are the order of the day, here comes the unusual Bhumi Pednekar, embodying a plus-sized girl in her debut film “Dum Laga Ke Haisha”.
