Illegal 3, the latest installment in the legal drama series, unfortunately, does not live up to its potential.
Despite its promising premise and a strong cast, the series struggles with pacing and depth, which ultimately detracts from its overall impact.
The storyline, while initially intriguing, soon becomes predictable and formulaic. The central plot revolves around a high-stakes legal battle, but it lacks the complexity and tension that made the previous seasons more engaging. Viewers may find themselves losing interest as the episodes progress, due to repetitive scenarios and a lack of surprising twists.
Character development is another area where Illegal 3 falls short. While the actors deliver commendable performances, their characters are often one-dimensional and do not evolve in a meaningful way throughout the series. This lack of growth and depth makes it difficult for the audience to form a strong connection with the protagonists and their struggles.
That said, Illegal 3 does have its moments of brilliance.

The Kashmir Conflict has been a major issue between India and Pakistan, and Nikhil Allug uses it as a base in order to present a rather unusual but quite intriguing approach to the subject.
The film begins functioning as a tour guide, as we watch a family of four, using various means of transport, including boat, car and train to reach Mumbai from Kashmir. Once they arrive to their destination, they are settled in an apartment where the true purpose of their trip, as much as their characters and relationships, are revealed.
Evidently, the film is split in two parts, although the first one, which features no dialogue, is much smaller. This part highlights the beauties of the locations the movie was shot, with the mountains, the rivers, and the valleys being exquisitely cinematographed by Allug. At the same time, the music selection is also excellent, with a number of...

Now in case you missed it or if you just have to see it again, Dear Zindagi has now had it’s digital release and is available on iTunes and Google Play. But there is even more exciting news, the film itself will also soon be available on Netflix!

It isn’t easy being Gauri Shinde. Not when you have made English Vinglish as your debut film, for God’s sake! Where do you go from that dizzying summit of achievement?
Clearly and unconditionally, in her second film, monumental in its own right, Gauri is not bogged down by expectations. She is, in that sense, exactly like her protagonist in Dear Zindagi (played with supreme sang-froid by Alia Bhatt, more about her later). Not eager to be liked by all, unafraid to appear unconventional, fiercely prideful about her emotional space and passionately attached to her individualism, Gauri Shinde, like her fey protagonist, Kaira, grooves to her own beat. And if want to join in, we are most welcome. Otherwise there’s always the next Karan Johar mush-room to munch on …

Alia Bhatt and Shah Rukh Khan, co-star in director Gauri Shinde’s slice-of-life film Dear Zindagi, out this Friday. Shah Rukh Khan plays life coach to Alia Bhatt’s character Kaira, an aspiring cinematographer dealing with romantic trouble. How much Kaira decides to be guided by Jahangir’s advice is yet unknown but Alia is very obedient in real life.
A behind-the-scenes video of life on the sets of Dear Zindagi documents one such instance.

Alia: Should I help?
Shah Rukh: Ya, ya go there (pointing at the floor)
Alia: What?
Shah Rukh: Kneel down I suppose, kneel down
Shah Rukh: Sach mein kneel down kar rahi hai

A demand for LSD made by one of his actors during the shoot of their film M Cream left director Agneya Singh in complete shock. After all, when the debutant director kept stressing on his actors to bring realism to their characters in their scenes, little had he imagined that it would get him into a far more complicated situation than he had bargained for.
Now, there are several instances when actors have gone that extra mile to get under the skin of their characters. So, actors taking to alcohol to play alcoholics, or actors following certain diets to look the part is quite acceptable and even encouraged by the filmmakers. However, Agneya Singh was at a loss of words when one of the actors on the sets of his upcoming film M Cream requested him to get them some LSD while shooting to infuse some realism in one of the crucial scenes.

In writer-director Agneya Singh’s first feature film, M Cream, four entitled, privileged Delhi twenty-somethings — Maggie (Auritra Ghosh), Niz (Raaghav Chanana), Jay (Ira Dubey) and Figs (Imaad Shah) head off on a road trip in search of a mythical drug, M Cream. Along the way, they have the opportunity to explore political issues, hook up with an aging American hippie (played by theatre director Barry John), attend a rave, take an LSD trip in an orange grove, write some poetry, and save some trees.
Singh’s film attempts to explore the effects of a changing India on his own young generation, and wants to show us how they, as a generation, navigate and make sense of those changes, and how they learn to adapt to the world – or, how they make their world adapt to them.
The film asks, in a sense, what it means to be a rebel or a revolutionary.

It’s been long (four years to be precise) since we saw Ira Dubey on the big screen (Remember Aisha?). But fret not as the very talented actress is back on the silver screen with Dilliwaali Zaalim Girlfriend.
Says Ira about her long hiatus, “My main priority as an actor is to do some different sort of variety in the kind of work that I do. I don’t want to get typecast. It is very easy to get typecast in Bollywood. After Aisha, I got so many offers – kind of glamorous, best friends, loud characters. But they weren’t very exciting for me. I also was doing plenty of theatre that time as I was not getting anything exciting.”
Speaking about what made her say yes to the film, Ira says, “The modern Indian girl or woman wants more than to be a housewife and has a voice to...

Dilliwaali Zaalim Girlfriend has been given a U/A certificate by the censor board after 63 mutes. The mutes include words like ‘saala’ and ‘saali’. This has not gone well with the director of the film, Japinder Kaur.
Says the miffed director, “If there is no thematic issue, I don’t understand the problem in just picking up singular words that are local lingo.”
She further adds, “To bring about any change in rules, we should systematically lay down guidelines with time limits. The censor should inform that films going into going into production now should follow new rules; because they have the space to, not the ones that are already completed and have been in working progress in the last 1-2 years.”

Ira Dubey, who is playing a typical lively Delhi girl in her upcoming movie Dilliwaali Zaalim Girlfriend, was easily able to adapt the character and do the role as she has spent a good amount of time in the city for her academic curriculum.
Speaking about her character Ira says, “My character Nimmi is pliant yet gutsy. I tried to make her as relatable as I could. She knows how to stand up for herself when wronged. The best part about the experience was associating with talented actors like Divyendu (Sharma), Pradhuman Singh and the inimitable Jackie Da (Jackie Shroff). Our director Japinder Kaur made sure that each character is fresh and the narrative has a contemporary Delhi setting.”
Debutant director Japinder adds, “We needed somebody who looked intelligent and I felt she has the aura of a strong woman. Her beauty is just a bonus.”

At the music launch of Dilliwaali Zaalim Girlfriend, Jazzy B minced no words in calling Bollywood ‘unprofessional’. When asked why he doesn’t do much work in Bollywood, he said, “Bollywood to me is very unprofessional. Everything is last minute here. ‘Abhi gana chahiye, kal banake doge?’ is what people want here. That is not how a song is made.”
He went on to add, “Sometimes we even take two or three months to make a song. I have got a name to protect. I made a couple of songs but I wasn’t satisfied with the music. So I didn’t go ahead with it. I have done this film because the production is very good. I do little work to protect my image.”
Jazzy also said that it took a lot of time to make ‘Zaalim Dilli’ song from the film. “It took them six months to make the beat of this song.

Divendu Sharma’s films thus far seem to see him having a tough luck with girls, while he stalked girls in his first film Pyar Ka Panchnama, Chashme Bhaddoor too saw him having a similar fate with girls, and guess what, his next is called Dilliwaali Zaalim Girlfriend, which clearly speaks for itself.
Given his penchant for such roles, Divyendu needed to be asked if his choice of roles come from personal experience to which the actor refuted vehemently. Sharma who plays the lead in Japinder Kaur’s Dilliwaali Zaalim Girlfriend, said he hasn’t stalked girls, neither any of his girlfriends been ‘zaalim’, “I am quite fortunate that I had no cruel girlfriends in my personal life. In case of girlfriends, I faced no such memorable incident and I don’t think I’m a kind of guy who hangs around girls all day long. My mind was always into theater.

From Dubai to Mumbai, it has been quite some journey for young Japinder Kaur who is making her foray into the world of Bollywood. An erstwhile assistant to Prakash Jha (with whom she worked on Aarakshan) and boasting of a blooming post production studio in Dubai (which she runs with her brother Tarnpreet Singh – who is also the producer of her debut feature film), Japinder is stepping into Bollywood with Dilliwaalli Zaalim Girlfriend. We get into a quick conversation with her.
A love story with a thrill element to it – Guess Dilliwaalli Zaalim Girlfriend is one cocktail of a film?
While it is my first film, I pretty much feel that I am an audience first. I don’t have any checklist or criteria that I am following at all. As an audience when I watch a film, I enjoy a cocktail. Same is the case with my friends and family.

That is exactly what our character fantasizes about in ‘Tipsy Hogai’. The music video is shot in a very international style and has the sizzling beauty, Natalia Kapchuk featuring in it. Going by the feel of this theme, Dr. Zeus was the perfect option as he blends international beats with a Punjabi tadka very well. The lyrics were then developed from the female perspective and are absolutely naughty and aesthetically simple.”
