Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar
Movie (Hindi)
I found the name of the movie quite interesting. Pinky (Satinder)
was played by Arjun Kapoor and Sandeep (Sandy) was Parineeti Chopra. Besides
this, the movie is a fast paced thriller which does not waste time on
unnecessary songs and dances. In fact, the edit seems quite ruthless at times,
keeping me quite alert.
Director Dibakar Banerjee has always brought something fresh
for the audience to mull over. Arjun as a policeman (on the run) and Parineeti as
a banker (on the run) have got into the skin of their characters. Neena Gupta
and Raghubir Yadav are the best support cast one could ask for. The shooting at
Pithoragarh itself adds authenticity to the plot.

Pagglait (Crazy)
Movie Review (Hindi)
Sanya Malhotra is an actress who seems to be open to trying out a variety of roles. So I watched this movie to see what she would be up to this time.
Writer Director Umesh Bist has cleverly woven the story around an event where emotions run high and skeletons often pop out of cupboards. In this case, this skeleton turned out to be a photograph that pulls the story forward.
Pagglait a light hearted comedy even though the premise is built
around a death in the family. Sanya as a wife of five months-turned-widow
plays her part effortlessly. The cast couldn’t get any better than this with
Raghubir Yadav, Ashutosh Rana, Sayani Gupta and Sheeba Chaddha leading the pack.
The music by Arijit Singh is like a breath of fresh air and this is his first venture as a music composer. Waiting for great work from him!
