Bangistan

Karan Anshuman's Bangistan which probably crackled on paper, is by far 2015's most shoddily executed film. If you thought Roy was bad after all the hype around and Bombay Velvet a disaster, this film leaves by a sinking feeling which is almost heartbreaking. There is too much talent wasted in this movie. Can you imagine an un-funny Riteish Deshmukh? Yes, it is almost blasphemous that Pulkit is meant to be the funny one in this film. And Pulkit is a loud clone of Salman Khan, minus the swag and charm. If anyone thought Salman's mannerisms made him who he is, unfortunately it is the other way around. His mannerisms work because of his screen presence. You wish Pulkit had any of it - the charm or the swag, but he doesn't. He is flat, gimmicky and noisy.
Coming from the Excel stable, the films have a certain spunk to them. Barring a scene or two, this film hardly has no such defining factor. Even a Fukrey had its peaks but Bangistan is never more a bad dish of buffoonery and gyaan. It is almost shameful that a man who has made a living out of slapping scathing remarks on filmmakers for years, goes so wrong on a movie he has made. Evidently, tearing apart a film is a far easier job than making a coherent one. Point noted for personal reference as well.

Radhika Apte to feature in a film based on homosexuality

Radhika Apte, who received a lot of appreciation for her performance in the Varun Dhawan starrer 'Badlapur', is currently busy with her next release, Manjhi: The Mountain Man. The movie, which is all set to release on August 21, is based film on the life of Dashrath Manjhi, popularly known as the ‘Mountain Man’, who lived in Gehlaur village, near Gaya, in Bihar. Apparently, Dashrath carved a road through a mountain, for which it took him 22 years. He used only a hammer and chisel for this impossible task. Dashrath thus shortened travel between the Atri and Wazirganj blocks of Gaya town from 55 km to 15 km.

Irrfan Khan and AIB show how to rock a party song and it's hilariously mind-blowing

Irrfan Khan in a party song! Can you believe it? Team AIB has made this thing possible. The video starts as a show off between Irrfan Khan and team AIB and the actor suggests that he has done everything possible under Bollywood with total swag...but the AIB guys challenge Irrfan that he hasn’t done a party song yet.
And then, Irrfan Khan teaches the art of making a party song...and it is hilarious.
