Yeh Saali Aashiqui movie review: Vardhan and Shivaleeka shine in this interesting revenge-thriller

It is very difficult to make a film which has romance, drama, and thriller with a backdrop of revenge in it. But we finally have a film that offers all these things on the big screen. We are talking about Cherag Ruparel’s Yeh Saali Aashiqui which marks the debut of Vardhan Puri (Amrish Puri’s grandson) and Shivaleeka Oberoi.

Yeh Saali Aashiqui starts as a very cute love story between Sahil (Vardhan) and Meeti (Shivaleeka). They are studying in a hospitality college and fall in love with each other. But soon, a twist takes place and we are left surprised.


The story of Yeh Saali Aashiqui is surely something new. We might have seen many revenge-thrillers in Bollywood, but here the story and the screenplay is very interesting. At some point, you might feel that the story is predictable, but the way it has been narrated, it keeps us hooked to the screens.

The movie is written by Vardhan Puri and Cherag Ruparel and the two have come up with an interesting film. We would like to point out that some dialogues in the film are very relatable especially for men. Ruparel also makes his directorial debut with this one and he has done a good job here.

Vardhan Puri is the grandson of Amrish Puri, so, we are sure he had a lot of pressure to deliver a good performance. Well, he is damn good in the film and in the second half, he is just wow. Shivaleeka Oberoi is one of the best debutantes of recent times. She is amazing in the film and deserves Best Debut awards for her performance. Ruslaan Mumtaz is fine in his extended cameo.

Overall, Yeh Saali Aashiqui is a good revenge-thriller with a lot of twists and turns and interesting storyline.

Ratings: 3/5

P.S. One of the scenes in the film will remind you of Amrish Puri and that scene is one of the highlights of the movie.

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.”
