Filmmaker Hardik Gajjar on why Pratik Gandhi was the perfect choice for Bhavai

Filmmaker Hardik Gajjar on why Pratik Gandhi was the perfect choice for Bhavai

Pratik Gandhi, whose breakout performance in Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story (2020) made him a household name in India, has a slew of exciting projects under his belt. One of them is the upcoming Hindi film Bhavai. The film marks Gandhi’s much-awaited debut in Bollywood.

Recently, the makers dropped the official trailer of Bhavai, which has crossed a whopping 10M+views in just a few days of its launch. The terrific response that the trailer has garnered clearly shows how excited the audience is for the film.


Bhavai stars Gandhi alongside popular Kannada actress Aindrita Ray. The film is a love story that would take the viewers on a journey filled with the folk flavour of Gujarat, colourful characters, heart-touching performances, and a powerful storyline based on the enigmatic tale of Ram Leela.

Ahead of the release of Bhavai, filmmaker Hardik Gajjar, who is also making his directorial debut with the film, reveals why Gandhi was the perfect choice for the lead role. He says, “Our story is about a young man trying to fulfil his dreams of becoming an actor. When we spoke to Pratik about this, he was excited about the character as he can relate to him working his way up to being the coveted star he is today. It was amazing to see him use the hunger every artist feels as he stepped into the shoes of his character. Though Pratik is now a household name, we decided to collaborate with him a while before that. His hard work has always been his strongest power and it is no surprise that he is getting so much love from the audience. He is one of the finest actors I have seen working his magic onscreen and I couldn’t be happier with what we have created for the audience here.”

Bhavai is presented by Dr. Jayantilal Gada (Pen Studios) and produced by Dhaval Jayantilal Gada, Akshay Jayantilal Gada, Parth Gajjar, and Hardik Gajjar Films in association with Backbencher Pictures, the film also features Abhimanyu Singh and Flora Saini in important roles. It is set to release in theatres on October 1, 2021.

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.

'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.

From chaos to cult: The mad journey of ‘Andaz Apna Apna’

Beloved Bollywood entertainer Andaz Apna Apna has delighted generations of film fans and is now regarded as a cult classic of Indian cinema. Its producers have consistently maintained that the comedy did well when it was released, but as the film was over budget, it did not make any profits at the time.

Over the years, however, this light-hearted movie – first released on 4 November 1994 – found its largest audience through home entertainment, in such a spectacular way that it is rightly regarded as one of the finest Indian comedies ever made.
