Zoya Akhtar’s Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara starring Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol, Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin is surely one of the most beautiful films we have seen in Bollywood. The movie is remembered for a lot of reasons like amazing cinematography, wonderful script, amazing performances, and beautiful music.

But well, there’s one more thing that grabbed our attention in the film. We are talking about the wonderful poems written by Javed Akhtar. Today, as ZNMD completes nine years of its release let’s go down the memory lane and revisit those poems.

Dil Aakhir Tu Kyun Rota Hai

Jab jab dard ka baadal chaya, Jab ghum ka saya lehraya, Jab aansoo palkon tak aya, Jab yeh tanha dil ghabraya. Humne dil ko yeh samjhaya, Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai, Duniya mein yunhi hota hai. Yeh jo gehre sannate hain, Waqt ne sabko hi baante hain. Thoda ghum hai sabka qissa, Thodi dhoop hai sabka hissa. Aankh teri bekaar hi nam hai, Har pal ek naya mausam hai. Kyun tu aise pal khota hai, Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai…

Apne Hone Pe Mujhko Yaqeen Aa Gaya

Pighlay neelam sa behta hua yeh samaan, Neeli neeli si khamoshiyaan, Na kahin hai zameen, Na kahin aasmaan. Sarsaraati huyi tehniyaan, pattiyaan, Keh rahi hain ki bas ek tum ho yahaan. Sirf main hoon meri saansein hain aur meri dhadkanein, Aisi gehraiyaan, Aisi tanhaiyaan, Aur main sirf main, Apne honay pe mujhko yaqeen aa gaya…

Toh Zinda Ho Tum

Dilon mein tum apni, Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho, Toh zinda ho tum. Nazar mein khwabon ki, Bijliyan leke chal rahe ho, Toh zinda ho tum. Hawa ke jhokon ke jaise, Aazad rehno sikho, Tum ek dariya ke jaise lehron mein behna sikho, Har ek lamhe se tum milo, Khole apni bhaayein, Har ek pal ek naya samha, Dekhen yeh nigahaein. Jo apni aankhon mein, Hairaniyan leke chal rahe ho, Toh zinda ho tum.  Dilon mein tum apni, Betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho, Toh zinda ho tum...

Yeh Jaane Kaisa Raaz Hai

Ik baat honton tak hai jo aayi nahin, Bas ankhon say hai jhaankti, Tumse kabhi, Mujhse kabhi, Kuch lafz hain woh maangti. Jinko pehanke honton tak aa jaaye woh, Aawaaz ki baahon mein baahein daalke ithlaye woh. Lekin jo yeh ik baat hai, Ahsas hi ahsas hai, Khushboo si hai jaise hawa mein tairti, Khushboo jo be-aawaaz hai. Jiska pata tumko bhi hai, Jiski khabar mujhko bhi hai, Duniya se bhi chupta nahin, Yeh jaane kaisa raaz hai…

Jewel Thief leaves critics underwhelmed by its predictable plot and uninspired direction

‘Jewel Thief’ review: Critics call it a predictable heist film with uninspired direction

The much-anticipated heist film Jewel Thief promised a thrilling ride with high-stakes action and suspense. However, early reviews suggest that the film falls short of expectations, leaving viewers underwhelmed by its predictable plot and lacklustre execution.

The premise of Jewel Thief centres around a master thief who is forced by a menacing antagonist to steal a rare diamond. Critics, however, note that while the plot has the potential to be gripping, the execution doesn’t quite live up to the hype. The film is described as a "predictable heist" where the twists are "painfully obvious" from the start, offering little in terms of suspense or surprise. The film’s plot quickly devolves into a familiar, formulaic chase that never quite finds its footing.

A final chapter full of twists, turns, and the inevitable end of Joe Goldberg’s story

'You' season 5 reviews: Critics react to Joe Goldberg’s bloody final chapter with mixed responses

Netflix’s You has always sparked strong reactions, equal parts addictive and absurd, and its fifth and final season stays true to that legacy. As Joe Goldberg bows out in this last chapter, the critical response has been a mix of intrigue, exhaustion, and reluctant admiration. Here's a breakdown of the overall verdict.

A slow start that eventually pays off?
The final season has been widely described as sluggish in its early episodes, bogged down by repetitive family drama surrounding Kate’s aristocratic and scheming relatives. The beginning feels a bit slow and hard to get into, but many agree that a mid-season twist helps inject some long-overdue energy. Once the narrative picks up, it becomes more engaging, if not exactly fresh, with enough momentum to keep viewers curious about how Joe's story will unravel.

Pedro Pascal criticise JK Rowling over her anti-trans views calling it ‘heinous loser behaviour’

Pedro Pascal isn’t staying silent. The Last of Us actor has sharply criticised JK Rowling after she celebrated a UK Supreme Court decision that defines “woman” in legal terms as only referring to biological females, a ruling that has sparked outrage across the globe.

Rowling, who helped fund the legal campaign that led to the verdict, celebrated the moment with a photo of herself on a yacht, drink in hand and cigar between her fingers, captioned: “I love it when a plan comes together.” Her post came across as a victory lap for a verdict that many see as a blow to trans rights, particularly for trans women, who now risk being excluded from single-sex spaces.
