‘Thappad’ review: making us question the reality of society

-
Image
  Anubhav Sinha’s directed Thappad hit the theaters on 8 th Feb 2020. Sinha has proved what a gem he is for the Bollywood industry by producing projects like Mulk, and Article 15 in the past few years. Thappad stars Taapsee Pannu in the leading role along with Pavail Gulati, Dia Mirza, Kumud Mishra, and many others. This story touches on the sensitive issue of domestic violence, which sadly many Indian women face. Owing to the increasing number of women facing domestic violence each day, Thappad is what Indians need. Plot  Thappad is the story of Amrita (or Amu) who loves her family. She ever left her passion for dancing, so she could dedicate her time entirely to become a perfect housewife. Her married life with Vikram was going happily until he slapped him at a party.  After being slapped in front of so many people Amrita was shattered and started to question her entire relationship with her husband. She realized her relationship was not based on mutual respect and filed for a divor

Dear Zindagi Is Your Free Therapy Session With SRK & Alia

Released in 2016, Gauri Shinde’s Dear Zindagi is a beautiful effort to remove the stigma around mental health & the hesitancy of people to seek professional help. The realization that not even a single film till 2016 (and even after 5 years since the movie came out) tried to normalize consulting a “ dimag ka doctor ” surprised me.  Does Bollywood not consider depression a real thing? Or does it believe that everything will be fine when you fall in love? If so, then Bollywood couldn’t be more wrong. However, a big thanks to Gauri Shinde for presenting the realistic story of Kaira (played by Alia Bhatt) on the silver screen. Check out Dear Zindagi's teaser here! Synopsis of the film (Alia Bhatt) Kaira - a talented cinematographer in her mid-20s has to return to her hometown - Goa, due to some unfortunate turn of events in her life, because of which she has developed insomnia. During a promo shoot for a hotel, she listened to a humorous reply of Dr. Jehangir ‘Jug’ Kha

Are dreams Reality?

“ A letter always seemed to me like immortality because it is the mind alone without corporeal friend”  ~ Emily Dickinson No matter who you are, what your age is, written words , especially from your loved ones are always your most precious treasure .  It's the same reason why Lara Jean ( Lana Condor ) wrote letters in the first place and we get to read and/or watch the adorable series - ' To all the boys I've loved before '.  For today's post, I decided to try something different & keep the spirit of Valentine's Day. I have posted a poem I have written during the lockdown , about my love of writing & my creative soul .

It's not unwanted or any less than I expected. It's just frustrating that most o

Upgrading Your Closet

‘ The first impression is the last impression’ is not a statement but a fact. Imagine you meet someone for the first time. What will you first notice? Yes, you guessed it right. It’s the appearance of a person that first comes into focus, even when you say you don’t want to judge someone.  Let’s be practical. You can’t know someone’s personality just by taking a look at him. For that, you need to spend time with him. But would you spend your time with someone who looks like he just ran from jail? I am sure that most of you won’t, which is logical.       Our clothes reflect our personality  How we present ourselves, what we wear, or precisely what we choose to wear is a part of us, our true selves.  And aside from revealing your personality, your outfit also boosts your confidence.  You must have experienced this confidence yourself when you wore a new dress or even a new pair of pants.  Isn’t it? So, here I am, to help you upgrade your wardrobe, with clothing inspired by Bo

Reasons why bibliophiles loves to read?

Being an avid reader, I was always surrounded by people asking me, ‘ why do I read so much?’ or ‘ I should find a new hobby ’ and even ‘ if I am stressed about something ?’.  Explaining that reading is entertainment for me doesn’t help as they enjoy going out with friends, attending parties, or going live on their social media accounts instead.  What they didn’t know was the fact that no matter what a book is about, who is the protagonist, or even if the conflicts in the book are un-relatable to you, still that book, or precisely any book is a reflection of you.    So, I compiled a few points I learned from reading books, which weren’t the part of my curriculum, to put forward for all the non-readers, on the behalf of every individual who loves to read. #1 The end is always happy  Things aren’t going the way you planned? You think you can’t achieve what you have always desired and are going to be miserable forever? What you are unaware of is that it is only part 1 of the s
