Unfazed by the dismal performance of his latest film Bunty Aur Babli 2 (2021), actor Saif Ali Khan has moved on to his next project Vikram Vedha. The actor started shooting for the much-anticipated film in Lucknow, as per reports.

Vikram Vedha is the official remake of the 2017 Tamil film of the same name. Aside from Khan, the remake also features Hrithik Roshan in the lead role. Pushkar-Gayathri, the duo who directed the original film, is directing the remake as well.

“This week, Saif Ali Khan kicked off his schedule for Vikram Vedha in Lucknow. Playing the role of an encounter cop in the film, Saif has been hard at work with his tough shooting schedule,” a source in the know informs.

Saif plays the character of a cop (Vikram) in the film, who is determined to arrest a dreaded gangster (Vedha), played by Hrithik Roshan. The storyline then follows Vedha telling stories to the cop, which changes his perception of good and bad. R Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi played Vikram and Vedha in the original film.

Apart from Vikram Vedha, Saif Ali Khan has Adipurush in the pipeline. He recently wrapped up the much-anticipated mythological drama which features him in the role of Lankesh, also known as Ravan. The mega-budgeted film stars Prabhas as Ram and Kriti Sanon as Sita. Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety actor Sunny Singh plays the role of Laxman.

Directed by Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior (2020) fame Om Raut, Adipurush is scheduled for its theatrical bow on August 11, 2020.

Can Sreeleela fill the big Bollywood void?

It is no secret that Bollywood is facing a talent drought. While established stars continue to dominate screens, there is a clear gap when it comes to younger actors making a strong mark.

In the past, each generation delivered a crop of newcomers who injected fresh energy into the industry. That pattern has stalled in recent years, with fewer young actors making a lasting impression. Into this space steps Sreeleela, a fast-rising actor from the South who has begun to attract serious attention in Hindi cinema.

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.
