Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui Movie Review


Come, laugh and fall in love again!

As the title goes movie is a mind-bending love story set in Chandigarh. 

Manu (Aayushmann Khurrana) a fitness freak and gymn owner falls head over heels with Maanvi (Vaani Kapoor), a Zumba teacher in his gymn. Everything seems to be going hunky dory and fine between the two until a hidden secret about identity causes a turmoil in their love story. 

Will their love story continue to bloom after this revelation? For this and more watch the movie.

Story is fast-paced and highly entertaining.
Director Abhishek Kapoor shows a lot of maturity, sensitivity and restraint in dealing with a bold subject. 

Screenplay by Tushar Paranjape and Supratik Sen is easy flowing. Dialogues are filled with humour. 

Chemistry between the two lead actors is attractive and both complement each other. 

Aayushmann gives an earnest performance. Vaani Kapoor steals the show with her performance and dialogues. Brothers Gautam and Gourav Sharma (Manu's friends) are comical. Manu's sisters played by Tanya Abrol and Sawan Rupowali are typical  nose poking sisters.  Others like Kanwaljit Singh, Aanjjan Srivastav and Girish Dhamija (Manu's father) lend support with their performances. 

Movie has peppy and party songs like Tumbe Pe Zumba and Kheench Te Naach and a slow melodious song like Maafi among others. Music is by Sachin-Jigar.

Movie breaks the cliches with its refreshing story and social message. 

Now playing in a theatre near you. Coming soon to Netflix. 

**** stars.

Nail Polish Movie Review

Here movie title Nail Polish is not to polish or  beautify nails, but to cover something which is real.

Sports Coach Veer Singh (Manav Kaul) has been accused of committing a grave and heinous crime against migrant children. Sid Jai Singh (Arjun Rampal) a top lawyer has been appointed to defend Veer's case. Young and less experienced prosecution lawyer, Amit Kumar (Anand Tiwari) manages to make life difficult for both Veer Singh and Sid with the evidence, thus making it appear as an open and shut case. 

What happens next, keeps viewer interested and guessing. 

Movie is fresh and riveting. Debut director Bugs Bhargava Krishna has done a great job, though screenplay could be better. 

Manav Kaul is prolific as Veer Singh and delivers one of his best performances. Other supporting performances of Rajit Kapur, Anand Tiwari and Arjun Rampal are equally good.

Movie  is an absorbing and intriguing thriller with its novelty factor
**** stars
