Tamachey: Love-Mush-Con-Fun-Satire quickie. New-age QSQT **** (film review)

Image
Tamanchey - Pyar Mil De Dil Pe Mar De Goli Director : Navneet Bahl. Producer: Suryaveer Singh Bhullar. Stars : Nikhil Dwivedi and Richa Chadda Twist : Tamanchey film is a musically-gifted, funny take on India's young con men and women and their desire for real love. Nikhil Dwivedi as Munna and Richa Chadda as Babu are characters that make their way into the audiences hearts steadily with their rustic and raw appeal. Munna's UP accent is truly funny and so is his shy innocence when he spots Richa as a co-convict on-the-run from police men. Richa's Delhi girl doing 'business' role is impressive with her effortless style of  'I want it my way' attitude. Satire : How police encounters get staged and surrenders aren't usually a way to freedom is what Tamanchey portrays in a love-mush-con-fun-satire quickie style of script. Plot unfurls: The movie picks up pace right from the first few shots and gets you wondering where the two lovable convicts

WHAT GOT THE EYES FOR FIFA 2014 - Hits and Trends The FIFA World Cup 2014 in Brazil is keeping most Indians glued to their TV. And what's truly caught the attention beyond the matches is of course, plenty of action, off and on the football turf. Check it out through Nimisha's eyes... Jennifer Lopez performs at FIFA 2014 opening in Brazil. The Latina singer is what makes full-bodied women desirable and beautiful. Indians just love her! Christiano Ronaldo got a short haircut with a tattooed cut resembling a young fan's cancer scar. Really touching! What a hottie! Uruguay footballer Luiz Suarez's bucktooth shall now go down history, thanks to his serial biting incident that soon got him barred from 9 international matches. Such a baddie!

Cannes 2014 Indian Hotties - Aishwarya Rai Bachchan wins hands-down. Frieda Pinto gets a bummer look!

GOLDEN GIRLS: Sonam Kapoor, Freida Pinto and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan sashay down the Cannes 2014 red carpet for LÓreal cosmetic giant While Sonam Kapoor made sure she turned heads at the Cannes 2014 red carpet, it wasn't really out-of-the blue look for us as she is a fashionista in her daily avatar anyway back here in India, too. Frieda Pinto chose a bubblegum colour yet again (similar hue in Cannes 2013 too) with flat hair, it was bummer look. Hands-down winner as the face for L'Oreal was Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Shining in a golden Roberto Cavalli fishtail gown, she was every one's darling rather instantly. End of all, I am going to get that lipstick shade for sure. And not just me, a lot of Asian girls plan to do so. PS: Almost forgot that Cannes is a Film Festival and not a runway show. So, which film won? Huh!

Bolly actresses who desperately need to look their age - Lose some pounds Which Bollywood actresses pop up in your mind when you think of overweight look and aunty-like image? We've shortlisted a few cutie pies. With no offence meant toward their personal choices, their onscreen looks (heavy ones at that) are being mentioned here. SONAKSHI SINHA: This young girl from Bihar is very pretty and is amazing at emoting with her acting skills (something her contemporaries recognise openly) quite a few hits like Dabangg, Bullett Raja, Lootera and more. With a few kilos off her bod, she can certainly look her age HUMA QURESHI: Dedh Ishqiya actress will look striking with few kilos gone.
