Written & Directed by Kamal Pandey
There aren’t many films around about 35-plus women taking off on an all-girls’ vacation .Producer Vinod Bachchan and director Kamal Pandey venture into this unexplored territory, with mixed results.
That Swara Bhaskar’s Shivangi, Meher Vij’s Mansi, Shikha Talsania’s Neha and Pooja Chopra’s Sakina are wretchedly unhappy and the great grumblers in the casino of life , is as clear as an over-sunlit daylight. One of them has to slog round-the-clock to keep her in-laws happy, that’s Swara slipping into her husband-fearing role with admirable confidence.
Another one , Shikha Talsania, hasn’t had sex with her husband for two years… a third, the token Muslim presence, is sick of her husband threatening to do a triple talaaq on her, although a politically savvy elder in the vicinity points out,...

Bollywood Director Kamal Pandey, who has written the superhit show ‘Na Aana Iss Des Meri Laado and ‘Sahib Biwi Aur Gangster Returns, is currently gearing up for his upcoming directorial ‘Jahaan Chaar Yaar.
The director recently opened up on his idea of liberation in the film. The film, which stars Meher Vij, Pooja Chopra, Shikha Talsania and Swara Bhasker, tells the story of four friends who studied together in school and college.
Kamal said, “All films made on friendship revolve around young actors and actresses. No one has ever thought of making a movie on or telling stories of middle-aged married women with kids. In small towns, even today the married women are the first to wake up and sleep after everyone else goes off to sleep.”
He added, “While they are awake, all they do is household work, preparing meals or tea or tiffin for others. They must have...

Milan Talkies
Starring Ali Faizal, Shraddha Srinath, Ashutosh Rana,Tigmanshu Dhulia, Sanjai Mishra
Directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia
“I’ve heard,” says the inexperienced lover-boy, “that in the beginning of a romance there is a lot of sex. And then it wears down to just once in a while on Karwa Chauth or whatever.”
Hearing Ali Fazal drawl these words of artless candour in the projection room of a single-theatre in Allahabad, is a pleasure beyond measure.
Milan Talkies, a spiffily written expertly enacted smalltown hormonal romance. It conveys just the right ingredients of smothered passion and unabashed swagger to make the proceedings pungent and real.
In fact the writing (Dhulia and Kamal Pandey) is much cleverer and wittier than what it seems.
There is exchange at a crucial point in the narration where a character asks the hero’s friends—a butcher by profession—“Tu itna Pak-pak kyon kar raha hai?...
