#Sanju is not a BioPic, it scores with Raj Kumar Hirani's signature OTT humor

# Sanju  roars & scores with Kamlesh, a fictional Gujju stereotypical character etched brilliantly by Hirani  Movies are neither my Tubs of Popcorn nor scoops of IceCream. For many of us  Sanjay Dutt = Deadly Dutt + Spoilt Brat , who can neither dance nor act ... efficiently . For me,  Ranbir Kapoor = EXs of Sonam, Dipika , Katrina and still when I received the bunch of First Day First Show  Sanju Movie  tickets FOC, I went 1/100th heartedly. Alas , I did not like opening scene at all and sat there cursing myself... wondering why the hell Anushka Sharma could not find properly fitting eyelashes , lenses  & WIG. Actually all the wigs, yes there are too many from Paresh Rawal's to Sonam Kapoor's to Manisha Koirala's to Ranbir's Four+ ... none of them do justice ... or add face value to the characters they are portraying. Well to cut a long story short ... As claimed Sanju is not 100 %  Bio pic . It's only 49% Biopic + 51% E...

The Jungle Book 3D

We the Indians do not just watch the Movies. We move with the movies, literally. For us, any Movie is a live, interactive media. We act, we perform, we appreciate or criticize each and every scene, nuance of the movie with great gusto.   Having made this very clear in the beginning, my experience of " The   Jungle Book " preview show at 3D Inox, Lower Parel was as exhilarating as the Fire-Flower ( Rakta-Phool ). Rakta-Phool is the metaphor used in ' The Jungle Book ' to authorize the Human nature. How the human beings are destructing the nature, through fire, how they frighten the jungle animals with fire.  ' The Jungle Book ' movie is based on Rudyard Kipling's book by the same name. Disney's  ' The Jungle Book'  is in a live-action / CGI format. The Jungle Book  is a story of Mowgli , a baby found alone in the jungle and raised by a wolf pack. Once Shere Khan (the tiger) knows of Mowgli's existence, he is...
