DEDD !!!!!” Koffee With Karan host Karan Johar also commented, “Am obsessed.” Anisha, Deepika's younger sister also commented, “But why are you not wearing mouse colour?”

In them, two women who run Instagram accounts for their apparel brands, show outfits to the cameras in their unique styles that have tickled millions over the last week. Even Wamiqa Gabbi made a video to the trending audio earlier this week.

On the Koffee couch, Deepika revealed that she and Ranveer had not committed to each other and that she was seeing other people as well until he asked her to marry him. Ranveer is also being trolled for his description of the moment he first met Deepika and how fairytale-like the moment was.

tejas review: kangana ranaut’s film puts the prop in propaganda

 YOU know a film has broken you when you laugh at a pivotal moment and find that you are not the only one doing it. You know a film has gone too far when a quiet person, who hitherto was an impassive member of the audience, sighs loud enough to be heard. You know a film puts the ‘prop’ in propaganda when the news channel it features is called ‘T**es Now N****arat’, the fictional journalist it includes is a real-life reporter known for being the mouthpiece of the current dispensation, and the crisis at hand is a bomb scare at…a Ram mandir. You know the joke writes itself when a film loses all objectivity and treats its lead as both the pilot of a fighter plane and the fighter plane itself. But then the actor is Kangana Ranaut and this is her film.

In the last couple of years, films starring Ranaut have faced one struggle: to give precedence to the narrative or the lead. In the broader picture, it is not a rare phenomenon. For years, Hindi films starring male superstars have been committed to being the vanity vehicles of its protagonists. But in her case such infiltration did disservice to her talent and made her work lesser. Unlike most male actors, she did not need a lesser script to look better. She needed one to match her talent. The failure of such an alignment brought both her and the outings she starred in a notch lower. Sarvesh Mewara’s Tejas — a woefully bad film that has the confidence to centre on a rescue mission when in reality it needed one itself — does one thing right: it dispels this confusion. Ranaut has never looked this incapable and a script never tried this hard to not try.

If it is still unclear, I’d reiterate the basics. Tejas is a propaganda film which plays right into the Right-wing politics of the current regime in India. The usual symptoms are all there: there is one token Muslim character who is depicted as a patriot. She is the good Muslim, one who is played both for laughs and to make a larger point about communal harmony. It is she who mouths lines like ‘We are living in a new India which will not take terrorist pressure lightly’. Then there is ample demonisation of Pakistan. In one scene, someone says, “It is the army that takes decisions in the country and not the government”. All Hindus are portrayed as nice and patient while the Muslims are either soldiers or downright terrorists. A subplot of the 2011 Mumbai attacks is introduced to fan the polarising intent of the film. Ranaut’s character is designed as an admixture of nation and nationalism, which is to say that there is nothing she cannot do.

To be fair, none of this is unexpected. The actor’s agreement with the government has been open and well documented in the press. But the thing about Tejas is that it is such a badly made film that its offences do not register. It is so toothless that its intent translates in the tone of mockery as if it is laughing at itself. Take for instance the way it introduces the Supreme Court judgement on Ram Mandir. The film goes nowhere in mentioning its legacy of dispute, the much debated Ram Janmabhoomi- Babri Masjid case. Instead, it paints a facile picture of communal peace and has a reporter say things like, “before the judgement both Hindus and Muslims seem to be in a great mood”. It is morbid how far Tejas is from reality and it is morbidly funny what terrible VFX it has, which makes the site look like an optical (dis)illusion.

Then there is a problem of transition. No two scenes appear to have a sense of coherence. Thus, we see Ranaut’s character Tejas being wooed by a musician and in the next moment he turns up at her workspace. There was no conversation about her profession but we are to assume he knows. There are more assumptions the film expects us to make. Like, Tejas, the character and the combat aircraft, are a match made in heaven. There is little to no context to her passion and profession. Then again, asking these questions might be too taxing for a film so inattentive that a character refers to another by the wrong name. I know this because the latter dons a name badge. It is all happening and unhappening in Tejas.

Given the ready influx of jingoistic films, it feels tiring to make similar arguments every week, to get angry at the manipulation freely exercised by certain makers and actors for their own personal agenda. In between comes a film like Tejas that is so bad that it makes you laugh in relief. It suddenly ceases to matter that Hindi films might be in crisis because what we have here is anything but a film.

sunny deol to get rs 45 crore to play lord hanuman in ranbir kapoor’s ramayana?

 

Sunny Deol, according to the reports, is in talks to play Hanuman in Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana adaptation. Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Ravana are the current cast members of the trilogy.

Hanuman stands for strength and there's no one better than Sunny Deol in the Indian film industry to justify what Bajrangbali stands for, revealed Pinkvilla through a source. The actor is eager to portray Lord Hanuman in Nitesh Tiwari's adaptation of the Ramayana and has expressed interest in participating. But the conversation is still in its early phases, the report added.

Now, a recent report by Bollywood Hungama states that Sunny Deol is negotiating a Rs. 45 crore contract with the Ramayana crew. Being on-screen Lord Hanuman is a huge responsibility, hence Sunny has made the decision to not take on any new projects while the Ramayana is filming. In order to play Lord Hanuman, he plans to dedicate all of his attention to the role and modify his physical appearance.

"He is negotiating a Rs. 45 crore deal with Nitesh Tiwari and Madhu Mantena for Ramayana. Sunny playing Hanuman will be like a thank you from Sunny Deol to Lord Hanuman for giving him all the success in life," a source told the portal.

About Ramayana

Ramayana Trilogy will be filmed over the course of two years, beginning in February 2024, and will be shown on enormous screens periodically. According to the reports, Nitesh Tiwari's Ramayana is said to be a simple narrative and human interaction despite its elaborate visuals and grand scale.

With Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as Raavan, Ramayana is hailed as Nitesh Tiwari's dream project. After the enormous success of Gadar 2, if Sunny Deol plays Hanuman in the film, the cast will only get bigger and better.

Meanwhile, Sunny will next be seen in Aamir Khan's production film which is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi.
