Kiara Advani is on a roll! After tasting huge success with Kabir Singh and Good Newwz in 2019, the actress is set to have back-to-back releases in 2020. While she is currently busy shooting for her forthcoming projects, her name has just been linked to director Mohit Suri’s upcoming directorial offering Ek Villain 2.

Mohit Suri is expected to start shooting for his next right after the release of new film Malang, which hits the marquee tomorrow. The thriller boasts the presence of Aditya Roy Kapur, Disha Patani, Anil Kapoor and Kunal Khemu on its ensemble cast. While the director has confirmed signing John Abraham and Aditya Roy Kapur to play the male leads in Ek Villain 2, he has not shared any detail about the female lead of his film.

Industry sources inform an entertainment portal that Suri has approached Kiara Advani for the female lead. However, there has been no confirmation on the same. Well, if Advani agrees to come onboard to play the female part, it will be an interesting combination with John Abraham and Aditya Roy Kapur as she has never worked with them before.

Meanwhile, the actress is looking forward to the release of her next film Laxmmi Bomb with superstar Akshay Kumar. Helmed by Raghavendra Lawrence, the horror-comedy is slated for its theatrical release on 22nd May. After Laxmmi Bomb, she will be seen in such interesting films as Indoo Ki Jawani, Shershaah and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.

Ek Villain 2 is a sequel to the Shraddha Kapoor, Siddharth Malhotra and Riteish Deshmukh starrer musical hit Ek Villain which was one of the highest-grossing films of 2014. The sequel is jointly being produced by Ekta Kapoor and Bhushan Kumar. It is scheduled to release on January 8, 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.

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.

Helen Mirren leads quirky mystery film ‘The Thursday Murder Club’, out on Netflix this August

Netflix has set 28 August as the release date for The Thursday Murder Club, a cosy crime caper with a heavyweight cast and a clever twist; the detectives are retirees. Based on the bestselling novel by Richard Osman, this screen adaptation brings together Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley and Celia Imrie in a story where age is anything but a limitation.

Set in a peaceful British retirement village, the plot revolves around four unlikely friends who spend their spare time digging into unsolved crimes. But when someone turns up dead in their own community, their amateur investigations suddenly get very real. What begins as a hobby quickly becomes a full-blown murder mystery, and they might be the only ones clever and nosy enough to crack it.

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.
