De De Pyaar De

Starring – Ajay Devgn, Tabu

Genre – Comedy

De De Pyaar De portrays a different story. I won’t deny the fact that I watched the film only because of the comic content. I always thought that Ashish (played by Ajay Devgn) will end up with Manju (played by Tabu). Happy Ending! No, they proved me wrong by stating the fact that love doesn’t understand the age difference. The only definition of love understands is that of understanding and care.

The performances by all the artists are worth an applause. One of the better and the Best Bollywood Movies on Hotstar.

 Jolly LLB 2

Starring – Akshay Kumar & Huma Qureshi
Director – Subhash Kapoor
Genre – Black Comedy

Jolly LLB 2 is a courtroom drama where the lawyer played by Akshay Kumar fights for injustice against a woman. It is a sequel to the first part which is much better than this film. However, Jolly LLB 2 is still worth a watch. The USPs of this film are the courtroom scenes and the storyline.
