Just when the audiences were vexed with the repetitive and jarring movies a new director, Ram Babu Gurung, came into the nepali movie scenario with his new movie- “Kabbadi”. The trailer of this Rom-Com flick instantly caught the eyes of several with its catchy one liners like ”Mann pareko jutta po jutta natra khali khuttai thik cha”, “Kata Ho Soltini Chittika Parera, batai bato dekhenau” etc. The trailer infested with a newly designed love saga premise with the comedy at its disposal was sure to make it big in theatres. As anticipated from the trailer, the movie also kept up its reputation and was quite funny and enjoyable to watch. A village premise, a rebellious protagonist, his fellow sidekicks with a funny idiolect, his love interest, his restricting parents, an antagonist to make his tasks even more daunting, clash, conflict resolution and the end, that's the basic premise of this movie. This is a good thing but the main problem is this occurs in every other Ram Babu movie ever. Almost all the movies made by Ram Babu Gurung is a stereotypical portrayal of the same village scenario and the same characters. Where the stock characters are very much prominent in the premise.
After previous anthology movies like “Bombay Talkies” and “Lust Stories” our fab four turns their head into the genre of horror with the latest Netflix release “Ghost Stories”. Like the previous ones this movie also consists of four stories directed by Zoya Akthar, Anurag Kashyap, Dibakar Banarjee and Karan Johar. Let’s discuss and review the four stories. Zoya Akthar- The major premise for Zoya’s story revolves inside a house where a nurse Sameera played by Janhvi Kapoor is on her duty to take care of an old lady Mrs Malik played by Surekha Sikri. Surekha Sikri’s errie look and appearance certainly brings the spookiness to the story. We feel invested in the story and Janhvi Kapoor with her dialects and decent acting shows some improvement from her previous works. Anurag Kashyap- Anurag’s story is the most mind bending one among the all with many visual symbolisms and metaphors. Anurag chooses the de-saturated theme with hard to detect colors present in the story
