Movie in Review: Housefull 4
f there is a lesson that Rana must learn, it is that often people love (or hate) their protagonists not for what they do but for what they could do. Sharad’s voice, eyes, and the sardonic laughter spell that magic for us. More review on Housefull 4 follows on my site. Continue reading

Movie in Review: Kedarnath
Long story short, success is a team’s effort. And, so is Kedarnath, a story inspired by real-life events.
