Chhalaang trailer: We expected more from Hansal Mehta and Rajkummar Rao

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta and actor Rajkummar Rao have worked together in films like Shahid, Citylights, Aligarh and Omerta. Well, none of the films were big hit at the box office, but content wise all the four films were amazing.


Now, Rao and Mehta have teamed fifth time for a film titled Chhalaang. The movie was slated to hit the big screen, but a few days ago, it was announced that it will get a direct-to-digital release on Amazon Prime Video.

Today, the makers have released the trailer of the film. Rajkummar took to Twitter to share the trailer with his fans. He tweeted, “Daud, Gir, Uth, Patak Aur Maar Chhalaang! Trailer out now. #ChhalaangOnPrime, premieres this Diwali, Nov 13 on @PrimeVideoIN https://amzn.to/ChhalaangTrailer @Nushrratt @mehtahansal @ajaydevgn @luv_ranjan @gargankur #BhushanKumar @ADFFilms @LuvFilms @TSeries @ChhalaangFilm.”

The trailer of Chhalaang is strictly average. It doesn’t entertain much, however, Rajkummar Rao and Mohd. Zeeshan Ayyub are impressive in the trailer. It surely looks like both the actors are going to give a great performance in the movie.

Well, it's a film made by Mehta and stars Rao in it, so our expectations are surely sky-high. While the trailer has failed to impress us, let’s hope that the movie turns out to be good.

Also starring Nushrratt Bharuccha, Chhalaang will start streaming on Amazon Prime Video on 13th November 2020.

Bad Daughter by Sangeeta Pillai is a defiant rejection of the ‘good Indian girl’ myth

Bad Daughter by Sangeeta Pillai is not just a memoir; it's a declaration of war against cultural conformity and a powerful roadmap for reclaiming one's authentic self. The title, a label often hurled at Pillai for daring to defy the rigid expectations placed on "good Indian girls" (Bad Betis), is proudly worn as a badge of honour. This raw and unflinching feminist memoir charts the author's incredible journey from a harrowing, poverty-stricken childhood in a Mumbai slum to becoming a celebrated global voice for South Asian women's issues in London.

Pillai grew up amidst the stark realities of domestic violence -a violent, alcoholic father and her mother who was later brutally murdered yet she refused to let these traumas extinguish the "fire in her belly." Her early life became an active battle against patriarchy, a fierce determination to reject the script laid out for her: arranged marriage, silence, and submission. She fought for her education, forged a path to financial independence, and eventually emigrated, carving out a new, successful life for herself, founding the award-winning Masala Podcast and the feminist platform Soul Sutras.
