Atrangi Re- not your everyday love story

 I watched Atrangi Re to relive the magic that Dhanush, Rahman and Aanand Rai created in Raanjhana and I must admit I loved the movie. The movie has received mixed responses so far but has clocked in a record number of viewers since its release on Disney Plus Hotstar. Although there are a fair number of reasons to criticise the movie, I believe the good parts have totally outshone all its flaws. Atrangi Re is the story of a small-town Bihar girl Rinku (Sara Ali Khan) who is forcefully wedded to a Tamil brahmin Vishu (Dhanush) so that her elders can get rid of her at the earliest. Rinku is a fierce, independent and chirpy girl who has already eloped several times in the past with Sajjad Ali Khan (Akshay Kumar), a performing artist who's always travelling the world but arrives whenever Rinku needs him. Vishu is a medical student who's already engaged to a girl back in his hometown. The wedding goes for a toss when the in-laws learn of his previous marriage and its aftermath forms

DEVI- A mirror to our society


As I was scrolling through videos on Youtube,  I happened to come across the much-talked-about short film Devi directed by the first-time director Priyanka Banerjee. It was a slow and riveting masterpiece, a remainder of the present-day state of affairs, and a clarion call to respect and treat women the way they deserve to be treated. The screenplay and acting do justice to the wonderful writing of Priyanka Banerjee who reveals the plot intelligently through the dialogues that take place. Without giving away too much, the short film is a masterful stroke of art that deserves to reach wider audiences throughout all sections of society. 


The last two minutes of the film leave a lasting impact that leaves you in deep thought and realization. The film paints a realistic picture of the world and times that we live in. The movie is available on Youtube. It is rated 8.3/10 on IMDb and it definitely deserves your 13 minutes in my opinion.
