Bollywood divas go for Dark Lips & Flouncy backs

Image
Leading ladies of Bollywood - How they look at award nights  Priyanka Chopra sports an amber gown with fitted bustier and attached flouncy drape below. No leg show gal? Actress Deepika Padukone who rocked with filmi hits in 2014 seems to not quite get it right. Come on! Jacqueline Fernandes packs a 'kick' with her flouncy gown. Many found it rather funny but she carried it off well at the awards night   Gold is in, and actress Kareena Kapoor is announcing that aloud. Doesn't quite catch the eye in this case. Sigh! Young actress Shraddha Kapoor sports a refreshing pink and truly looks gorgeous in this trendy outfit. Agree? Alia Bhatt acts her age and often dresses up accordingly. Straight forward and smart. That's the way we like it! GIRL WITH THE BLUE SCARF says: Bollywood often states the trendsetting looks of Indian glam dolls. While the older set of actresses seem to be aping the West for their inspirations, it's the younger lot in Bo...

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...
