Hema Malini’s quiet, unbent presence with her own family and close friends made the most poignant statement amid the noise surrounding the passing of a man who belonged to everyone.
Once you sign up for a celebrity-driven destination ‘event’, you are held hostage for three days that test your sanity and stamina, unless you are Ranveer Singh, who always looks like he is having the best time.
Incredible how rapidly the rumour of Dharmendra's death spread, and how many responsible people believed it—from Rajnath Singh to Yogi Adityanath. Who are we in comparison?
SRK's impromptu party looked refreshingly ‘normal’ and as cool as the Birthday Boy himself. King of Kool could be another tag for the man who once declared himself 'the last of the stars'.
There are big-ticket gifting specialists these days who curate the most creative presents—for a big, fat fee. It’s a lucrative side hustle for socialites.
Pity none of the well-behaved guests attempted India’s favourite 'Nagin dance' when Italian brand Bvlgari 'saap' slithered through The Art House in Mumbai.

The Nirouyeh Vijeh Pasdaran Velayat, or NOPO, was the only force Ali Khamenei trusted.It was founded in 1991 and is more feared than the Revolutionary Guards.
Rating democracies is a tricky business. I am only using the simple metric of who in the Indian subcontinent has had the most peaceful, stable, normal political transitions and continuity.
Trash movie reviews by clueless Liber**nduu critic.
These idiots have spent their whole life orgasming over worthless-storyless ISI-loving chut*yaap like Pathaan-Panther-Tiger etc.
Probably Abbbu(ISI and Soros) se pressure aa raha hai, Aditya-Yami ka image spoil karna ka….ukhaad toh kuch sakte nhi, even this part 2 will be a blockbuster but Dream-on Shobbha ji ! LOL
None of what the blogger said about the actors and the characters stick. The piece does have ta somewhat weary, seen-it-all tone that doesn’t earn its cynicism
She goes after Dhurandhar disproportionately while often giving a pass to genuinely trashy Bollywood output from bigger, more established star camps. That kind of selective criticism reveals potential bias rather than principled film commentary. It raises the question — is she critiquing the film on merit, or is she critiquing the people behind it?
And there’s a reasonable basis for suspecting the latter, because:
A) Dhurandhar and its team represent a certain kind of nationalist, action-oriented cinema that she seems personally uncomfortable with
B) Aditya Dhar and Yami Gautam are not from the traditional Bollywood inner circle
C) The film’s success came somewhat outside the establishment approval machine
So her commentary reads less like genuine film criticism and more like establishment discomfort with outsiders doing well.
These award functions are dominated by nepo-babies. Why should Aditya Dhar seek validation from those who gave best newcomer award to Ananya Pandey?
Dhurandar made more than 1000 crore, and that’s a slab on these award-mongerers.

As biased as ever. Cannot live with reality.

I wonder what the editorial motivation is.
