Shikara as a film has been very emotionally challenging for me – Vidhu Vinod Chopra
Vidhu Vinod Chopra has been a pioneer in the Indian Film Industry for many years. The man has been behind some of India's best content-driven films, the likes of Munna Bhai MBBS, Lage Raho Munna Bhai, 3 Idiots, Mission Kashmir, PK, Sanju & many more. If there's one thing that has always been consistent in Vidhu Vinod Chopra's films, it is the presence of big stars. Be it Aamir Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Sanjay Dutt or Ranbir Kapoor, they all have worked with Vidhu. But with 'Shikara', things have been different with Vidhu. Not only did he launch two new faces, but he also made | Click Here...
Love Aaj Kal disappoints audiences big-time
Although Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal opened well at around 35 percent on Valentine’s Day, theatres across India witnessed a steep drop of 40 percent on Day 2. Love Aaj Kal is most likely to be added to the dismaying pile-up of flops this year. While the last three years have been boom-time at the box-office, 2020 seems the year of wreckage and reckoning with only one bona fide hit, the Ajay Devgn-helmed Tanhaji so far. The flops started in the first week of January with Bhangra Paa Le, Sab Kushal Mangal, Shimla Mirch, Darbar, Chhapaak, Jai Mummy Di, Street Dancer, Panga, Jaw | Click Here...
Malang Vs Shikara: Opening Weekend Box Office Collection Comparison
February 7th, 2020 saw two Hindi movie releases in the form of Malang and Shikara. While Malang happens to be a fictional story with big stars to boast, the likes of Anil Kapoor, Disha Patani, Aditya Roy Kapur & Kunal Kemmu, Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Shikara is a realistic story of how the Kashmiri Pundits were eradicated from the valley during the riots of 1990. Unlike Malang, Shikara doesn't have big stars and instead has two newcomers in the form of Aadil Khan & Sadia. While Malang opened up to great numbers during the weekend, the collections being Friday - 6.71 cr | Click Here...
Reasons You Should Watch Shikara- A Timeless Love Story
Shikara is a movie directed by established director Vidhu Vinod Chopra. He has tried to beautifully portray a love story between two people belonging to the Kashmiri Pandit group who had to leave their motherland. It is a timeless story in the worst of times. Many Kashmiri pandits have lashed out on the director for not showing the torture and pain this particular community went through when they were threatened to leave their places in Kashmir. But it’s not a reason to boycott the movie. Here are a few reasons why you should watch this beautiful movie. The movie advertised as show | Click Here...
Review of Shikara: Would have worked with a more experienced lead pair
Movie: Shikara Starring Adil Khan, Sadia Directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra Rating: ** 1/2 (two and a half stars) Vidhu Vinod Chopra is no stranger to the theme of love during the time of war. He walked down the same road in 1942: A Love Story with the incandescent Manisha Koirala and the buoyant Anil Kapoor riding the crest of romance on the wings of R D Burman’s timeless melody. Now in Shikara, as Chopra returns to the theme with far less satisfying results than the enormity of the plot would suggest, the music is not quite the stuff epic dreams are made o | Click Here...
Vivek Agnihotri takes on Vidhu Vinod Chopra
By suggesting that Kashmiri Pandits should forgive the local Muslim population of Jammu & Kashmir for driving them out of their homes in 1990, Vinod Chopra has incensed many who feel this gambit to promote his new film Shikara (based on the mass exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits) is a bit thin on credibility and sincerity. Said the director who has earlier gone into Kashmiri militancy on the Sanjay Dutt-Hrithik Roshan starrer Mission: Kashmir, “Its like 2 friends meeting together after 30 yrs, who want to forget & move on!” Netizens have erupted in a show of mass solidarity | Click Here...
Trailer Review of Shikara: When love is all that’s left
Vidhu Vinod Chopra returns as director, this time to tell his own story. Like him, thousands of Kashmiri Pandits were overnight rendered homeless when on 19 January 1990, sectarian violence erupted in the Kashmir valley, reducing Hindus in Kashmir to the status of refugees in their homeland. Shikara is the story of one Kashmiri Pandit couple, played by raw somewhat unpolished newcomers Sadia and Adil Khan fighting hatred with love as the Valley burns. It’s a beautiful thought that Gabriel Garcia Marquez could have approved of. Except for the fact that Shikara is far more modest in | Click Here...
