Jabariya Jodi trailer: This Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra starrer looks like a full-on desi masala film

Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra impressed everyone with their chemistry in 2014 release Hasee Toh Phasee. The movie was a hit at the box office and now, after five years, they have teamed up for Jabariya Jodi which after multiple delays will finally hit the screens on 2nd August 2019. The makers have dropped the trailer of the film and after watching it we can say that this one looks like a proper desi masala movie.

Sidharth Malhotra is simply fantastic in the trailer. This is for the first time when we will see him playing the role of a guy from a small town and he has done it amazingly. The best element is that his accent doesn’t look fake. Parineeti Chopra is also quite good in the trailer and her character takes us back to the Ishaqzaade days. Sid and Parineeti’s chemistry is also damn good in the trailer.


The music in the trailer is impressive and we get to hear a few lines of the recreated version of the song, Patna Hile Chapra Hile. Jabariya Jodi is directed by Prashant Singh and it is produced by Shobha Kapoor and Ekta Kapoor. The movie also stars Aparshakti Khurana, Javed Jaffrey, Chandan Roy Sanyal and Sanjay Mishra.

Well, Jabariya Jodi is an important film for Sidharth and Parineeti as their last few films have failed to make a mark at the box office. Their jodi was liked by the audiences in Hasee Toh Phasee, so we can expect this film to do well at the box office.

Jabariya Jodi will be clashing with Sonakshi Sinha starrer Khandaani Shafakhana. The trailer of Khandaani Shafakhana has also impressed one and all as the concept of the film is quite new. It will be interesting to see which film will win the box office race, Jabariya Jodi or Khandaani Shafakhana.

K Anis Ahmed’s 'Carnivore' serves up satire, class war and moral rot

From the blood-soaked backstreets of Dhaka to the polished kitchens of Manhattan’s elite, K Anis Ahmed’s new novel Carnivore is as imaginative as it is provocative. A satirical thriller steeped in class tension, culinary obsession and primal survival, Carnivore follows Kash, a Bangladeshi immigrant-turned-chef who launches a high-end restaurant serving exotic meats – only to become embroiled in a sinister world of appetite and ambition.

But this is no simple tale of knives and recipes. Ahmed – a seasoned journalist, publisher, and president of PEN Bangladesh – brings a sharp eye to the grotesqueries of power and privilege. In this exclusive interview with Eastern Eye, he speaks about his passion for food, the moral murkiness of his characters, and why even the most ordinary people can spiral into extraordinary darkness.

Mahima Sharma brings bold new energy to cricket’s old guard

As the world prepares for the second edition of the World Championship of Legends (WCL), one of its most exciting franchises, the Meteora England Champions, is being led by a compelling force. Mahima Sharma is not just making her mark in cricket – she is quietly redefining leadership in a male-dominated industry.

In an industry long regarded as a boys’ club, Sharma brings a refreshingly unapologetic approach. She is strategic, deeply rooted in her love for the game, and proudly feminine. “Cricket has always felt like home to me,” she says. “I come from a culture where cricket is an emotion, and stepping into this role carries a great deal of responsibility. Growing up, I saw very few women leaders in cricket. To now find myself in this position 15 years later feels like coming full circle.”
