Shiddat Movie Review: Disney+Hotstar film Shiddat is old wine in a new bottle, but the one that will make you say cheers. Directed by Kunal Deshmukh, the film stars Radhika Madan, Sunny Kaushal, Mohit Raina and Diana Penty.
All you need is love, crooned the iconic Beatles in the Swinging Sixties. Cut to 2021 and director Kunal Deshmukh still doesn’t wish to differ with his cinematic offerings on love and relationship. Hence, Shiddat! Starring Radhika Madan as Kartika Negi, Sunny Kaushal as Jaggi Sehgal, Mohit Raina as Gautam Kapoor and Diana Penty as Ira Sharma, the Disney+Hotstar flick is yet another example that times have changed but love stories in Hindi films won’t.
That said, bad is what Shiddat is not. Yes, it is rather a very long attempt to show the same old Yash Raj-themed love story, but it is a one-time watch for people who are looking for good time pass entertainment. There is comedy, romance, many contrived emotional scenes and loss, but one can sit down and watch this fairly presented film.
Shiddat opens with Gautam Kapoor (Mohit Raina) and Ira Sharma (Diana Penty) taking French classes together. While Gautam, an Indian Foreign Service officer, learns the language for a promotion at his job, Ira, a social worker, wants to go to Paris. They fall in love with each other despite their differences. In no time they tie the knot. At their wedding reception party, they meet Jaggi Sehgal (Sunny Kaushal), the guy who crashes their wedding.
Jaggi is a happy-go-lucky person, who plays hockey for the Punjab state team. At the reception party, Jaggi gets so inspired by Gautam’s love philosophy that he makes up his mind that if he ever falls in love, he’ll go to any lengths for it. A few months later Jaggi meets Kartika Negi (Radhika Madan). She is a young and smart swimmer, who bumps into Jaggi at their sports complex. While Jaggi is our pind da munda, Kartika lives with her parents in London, UK. She comes to India to win a swimming championship before she gets married.
Jaggi and Kartika start on a bitter note, but in no time she realises that she is attracted to him. While Kartika wins the championship, Jaggi ends up getting heartbroken as he comes to know that the love of his life is getting married to someone else. Kartika leaves for London and Jaggi decides to go after her, break her wedding and spend life with her.
For Shiddat, the fault lies in that there is emphasis placed on melodrama and forced dialogues. But the acting of the actors somehow makes up for that. Sunny Kaushal’s dialogue deliveries and convincing performance will win your heart. Though Radhika Madan and Diana Penty get extremely limited screen time in comparison to their male counterparts, the ladies leave a mark as free-spirited, practical and open-minded women. And lastly, Mohit Raina, without whom Shiddat would have looked like another failed attempt to remake DDLJ (Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge). His effortless acting is pleasant to watch. For director Kunal Deshmukh, who has made films like Tum Mile and Jannat, Shiddat is not the best he has delivered so far. But, he did extract outstanding performances from the principal cast.

Based on Brigadier Mehta’s book The Burning Chaffees, Pippa also stars Mrunal Thakur, Priyanshu Painyuli and Soni Razdan.
Actor Ishaan Khatter’s upcoming war drama Pippa on Wednesday kicked off its first schedule in Amritsar.
Backed by RSVP and Roy Kapur Films, Pippa is directed by Raja Krishna Menon and also features actors Mrunal Thakur, Priyanshu Painyuli and Soni Razdan.
Pippa is billed as a heroic tank battle film that underscores the bravery of Brigadier Balram Singh Mehta, a veteran of the 45th Cavalry tank squadron, who, along with his siblings, fought on the eastern front during the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971.
Khatter stars in the film as Brigadier Mehta, who was invited by the production houses to provide the inaugural slate clap as filming commenced.
Producer Ronnie Screwvala (RSVP) said he was thrilled that Pippa began in the presence of Brigadier Mehta.
“Kicking off the schedule on such a positive note ensures a steady momentum throughout the course of the production. We’re raring to go with a brilliant ensemble cast and filmmaker Raja Krishna Menon, who has a savvy eye for war films,” Screwvala said in a statement.
Producer Siddharth Roy Kapur of Roy Kapur Films said the film will be mounted on a “sweeping canvas” to chronicle the story of a family’s bravery.
“From the time I first heard this amazing story of the bravery and resilience of a family on the frontlines of a just war, I knew it had to be told. I am thrilled that with RSVP we have been able to give this story the sweeping canvas it deserves, and that we have an accomplished director like Raja and an amazing cast and crew, to bring this vision to life.
“The team is excited to hit the floors today and we hope to bring our audiences a very special cinematic experience in theatres next year,” Roy Kapur said.
The film is based on Brigadier Mehta’s book The Burning Chaffees.
The movie’s title is taken from the Russian amphibious war tank called the PT-76, popularly known as Pippa.
Menon said he is excited to begin shooting for the film.
“We’ve all been prepping hard for this day, and I cannot wait to bring this incredible story of valour and liberty to the audiences,” he said.
Salman Khan’s film Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali has not been shelved. The makers of the film have rubbished all the rumours and talked about its development on social media.
Salman Khan-starrer Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali is not being shelved, but instead is going on floors in the next two months. The producer of the film, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment Movies, rubbished reports that claimed the film was shelved and shared fresh details about the film’s development. Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali is written by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by Farhad Samji. SALMAN KHAN’S KABHI EID KABHI DIWALI NOT SHELVED
After Salman Khan announced his new film Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali in 2020, several Bollywood stars congratulated the actor on social media. Recently, however, reports started doing the rounds that the film had been shelved because Salman’s Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai wasn’t a big hit.
The makers of the film, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment Movies, issued a clarification. Taking to the official Twitter handle, they wrote, “We would like to deny all the #FakeNews. The set is being constructed & songs have already been recorded. Shooting begins in 2 Months
SALMAN KHAN ANNOUNCED KABHI EID KABHI DIWALI IN 2020

Bhoot Police is enjoyable in parts. It does have its much-required comic elements but the film feels dragged in others. Bhoot Police will give you the chills but the inconsistent writing drifts you away.
Horror is a genre that Bollywood has not had quite a success with so far. In the recent past, several filmmakers have experimented with the horror-comedy genre as well and only a few films have been able to hit the right spot. Amongst them, Stree, was perhaps, the most memorable outing with a sharp feminist comment on the age-old fear of audacious and desirous women. Bhoot Police comes from a director who has experimented with the horror genre in his previous films (Ragini MMS, Darr @ The Mall and Phobia). Only this time, director Pavan Kripalani has ventured into the horror-comedy space. Do ghosts exist or is it just our ‘andhvishwas’ that leads us to believe in something that is not palpable? Bhoot Police pretty much revolves around this subject and keeps the viewers entertained with cracker one-liners and frequent spooks (or at least they have tried).
Vibhooti Baba (Saif Ali Khan) and Chiraunji Baba (Arjun Kapoor) are two ghostbuster brothers. While one (Vibhooti) loves to dupe the people for their money on the pretext of ridding them of spirits, the other (Chiraunji) is not happy with this way of making a living. He tries to convince his brother to take up a ‘real case’ because they are tantriks and they have a bigger purpose. One day Maya (Yami Gautam) comes looking for Ullat Baba since there is a Kichkandi in her tea estate. 27 years ago, Vibhooti and Chiraunji’s father Ullat Baba helped them get rid of the spirit. This time when Maya comes in search of him, she meets his sons instead. Obviously, they agree to help. The ghostbuster brothers reach Silawar Tea Estate only to unravel some twists in the tale.
Saif Ali Khan has a remarkable screen presence and it is his dialogues that keep you entertained throughout. His one-liners are enough to crack you up. You will enjoy his antics but certain parts feel redundant. It is Saif’s impeccable comic timing that gives the film its much-needed edge. Arjun Kapoor as Chiraunji is more of the serious type – the innocent and righteous sibling. Arjun and Saif have the maximum screen time, but the latter manages to snatch the spotlight away each time. Arjun struggles but makes an impression. Yami is good, but of course, we have seen her play better. Yami as Maya is this determined daughter who is bent on saving her father’s legacy, the tea estate, from being lost. Jacqueline Fernandez plays Maya’s sassy influencer sister Kanika, who wants to sell everything off and move to London. The actress has a forgettable appearance.
To add to the comedy quotient, the makers introduce us to the characters of Chedilal (Jaaved Jaaferi), Google Baba (Rajpal Yadav) and Hari Kumar (Amit Mistry). However, it only meets the purpose to some extent.
Bhoot Police is enjoyable in parts. It does have its much-required comic elements but the film feels dragged in others. Bhoot Police will give you the chills but the inconsistent writing drifts you away. Had the editing been tighter and the writing more coherent, this could have been a compelling watch. In some parts, it is the age-old tricks and drills that come into play which is a tad disappointing. The USP of the film is definitely Saif Ali Khan.
Now, to the important question – should you watch this film? Bhoot Police is no Stree but if you are looking for a break from the monotony of serious and nerve-wracking films, this definitely can be on your watchlist. Of course, Saif Ali Khan is the other reason why you can switch to Disney+Hotstar’s Bhoot Police.

The multi-starrer features Ram Charan, NTR Junior and Ajay Devgn. The film also stars many international actors.
