Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui Movie Review: Ayushmann Khurrana & Vaani Kapoor's Beautiful Way Of Saying "Normal Di Maa Di!"

Summary

Manu, a bodybuilder from Chandigarh falls in love with Maanvi, a Zumba teacher. All seems well until a shocking revelation causes turmoil in their love story.

Movie Review

Manu, is a self-professed “certified top fitness trainer in Chandigarh” who lives with a big, fat Punjabi family comprising a spirited grandfather (Aanjjan Srivastav), his father (Girish Dhamija), a widower, who wants to marry his Muslim girlfriend and two busybody sisters (Tanya Abrol and Sawan Rupowali) who have appointed themselves as Manu’s moms. Manu fends off all talk of marriage as his only goal is to become Chandigarh’s GOAT – Gabru of The Year, by winning an intense fitness competition. A wrench is thrown in his plans when Maanvi, the new Zumba instructor at his gym, saunters into his life and it is love at first sight for Manu.

Well portrayed, well-acted

In the past, Bollywood has used the LGBTQIA community as fodder for mockery and laughter. Thankfully, this movie uses humour smartly while remaining empathetic towards a sensitive issue.

WATCH OR NOT - Bollywood’s tried something different, and done it well. Go for it!

The Best Of Emraan Hashmi Is Yet To Come

Emraan Hashmi is one of those actors in Bollywood that have established their mettle through their talent and outstanding performances in movies one after the other. The actor has received around three film fare nominations and is considered as one of the more established actors working in the film industry today. It wasn’t an easy start for the actor. He had his fair share of films that were panned by the critics but things took a turn for the good with his performance as a conman in Jannat.

Movies that changed the world

At times, cinema can be both a mirror to the society and a thought-provoking tool. These are some movies which changed the way society thinks drastically. A Girl in the River Directed by Oscar-winner Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, this movie depicted the reality of today’s world and how honour killing is a severe issue in the society of Pakistan. This movie led the Pakistani government to review its laws regarding honour killing. Blackfish This documentary showed how the Orcas are kept in harsh captivity and how it is harmful to their habitat, and this brought a massive change of the Shamu attractions being completely shut down by SeaWorld.

Jayeshbhai Jordaar film Review: Ranveer Singh goes clearly in an ungainly mashup of different issues

  Just before Jayeshbhai acquaints his relatives with us, he draws a somewhat senseless relationship between researchers needing to be aware of Mars and his folks needing to be aware of the orientation of his kid. What's normal between a planet a lady's womb? Indeed, they're both round (gol) in shape. Some Gujju humor to fix the tone and assumptions. Chief Divyang Thakkar gives the disclaimer in the primary scene itself that 'pre-natal sex assurance test is a culpable offense'. Furthermore, the whole reason of   Jayeshbhai Jordaar   is revolved around this. At times a star sparkles most splendid in a characterless film. Ranveer Singh is jordaar and all the more yet even with all his appeal and sincere exertion Jayeshbhai Jordaar is significantly "bore-daar". Unfortunately, honest goals alone rarely make extraordinary movies! The requirement for a male successor is driving Jayeshbhai and his family insane. The pregnant bahu Mudra Ben (Shalini Pandey) is lyi...
