Actor-turned-film critic Kamaal Rashid Khan, better known as Krk, who was arrested on Monday for a 2020 tweet, has done a few Bhojpuri films and just two Hindi films in his career. One, the action-thriller ‘Deshdrohi’ and the 2014 runaway hit ‘Ek Villain’, where he had a cameo appearance. Nevertheless, he is a social media star commanding a vast loyal following.
In fact, ‘Deshdrohi’ is one of the worst films that one could ever think of and that could give nightmares to the likes of Alfred Hitchcock, Akira Kurosawa and Francois Truffaut over its outrageous content, pulpy writing, bad acting and everything bad that one could think of.
But, if the logs of Torrents are put to audit, ‘Deshdrohi’ will secure a spot among the most downloaded films and the ones with the highest number of seeds, thanks to hostelites and engineering students.

Mumbai, Feb 18 (Ians) Bollywood actress Shraddha Kapoor describes the lockdown phase of last year as one of her crucial phases for self-realisation. It was a period when she could learn to unlearn and redefine the value of zero, the spiritual meaning of shunya, she says.
"I think every time we start a film, we start from zero, from 'shunya'. Lockdown was a time for me to understand the value of several things, including self-love, the family and my emotional and spiritual health. I also think that it made me more independent, and things like the power of yoga to develop a focussed mind so that I can choose to be a part of any project -- film or entrepreneurial venture -- more fearlessly," Shraddha told Ians.

Look, no one is doing a favour by giving credit to a lyricist. It is our right, not a prize. I am not talking it for myself because I always got my credit.

Actor Riteish Deshmukh surprised the audience with his evil act in the 2004 film "Ek Villain". He followed it up last year with "Marjaavaan" that presented him in a meaner role.
Talking about taking up negative roles in films, Riteish told Ians: "Life is about positivity and being nice. I feel that at some point, we feel negative towards certain things. We might hate something, we might dislike someone, we might feel like punching someone and say 'I don't want to see his face ever again'. Killing is extreme though."

2017 was a mixed year for Shraddha Kapoor. While Ok Jaanu had turned out to be a disappointing affair, she did have a decent success in the form of Half Girlfriend. However, her Haseena Parkar that released later in the year met with a very poor response. This is when she chose to take it slow and wait for the right assignment to come her way. The one that made the cut was Stree!
“This is one genre that she has never attempted before,” says a close associate, “Though she has delivered successes across genres like romantic-musicals [Aashiqui 2], drama [Ek Villain], action [Baaghi] and dance-musicals [Abcd 2], horror-comedy is something that she has never tried before.”
No wonder, when producers Dinesh Vijan and Raj & Dk reached out to her with Stree, she was bowled over with the concept.

Baaghi is a film in a tearing hurry. It hurls and races through a series of fetchingly staged action sequences hoping that the audience won’t notice the woeful want of an authentic emotional design under the whipped up excitement in the plot. It’s like watching an episode of Game Of Thrones with the throne thrown into the sea. What you are left with is the Mona Lisa painting with smile that has no context.
What the flick is she grinning about??
You can tell when a film is faking it by its aggressive storytelling with a background score to match. Baaghi piles on the visual velocity and the aural audacity with irreparable impunity. Bruised battered and unvanquished is how the hero Ronnie (so named because he is forever Ronnying away?) emerges in this turbulent tale of two...

Aashiqui 2, the movie that introduced Shraddha Kapoor in an all new avatar, turned three yesterday! This movie marked Shraddha’s evolution from the girl-next-door to the new era dream girl. Let’s reminisce those 5 moments of the Bollywood diva from Aashiqui 2 that still linger in our hearts.
1. Love at first sight: It was for the first time in that bar in Goa that we spotted Aarohi, the romantic icon for many. The grace with which Shraddha Kapoor portrayed Aarohi made us fall in love with her instantly.
2. The iconic Jacket Moment: The Jacket moment which has now become a Shraddha Signature was a first seen in Aashiqui 2. The typical monsoon romance under the umbrella was replaced with the magical romance under the jacket which has also been seen in movies like Ek Villain and Baaghi.
