Laal phool neela phool, PC looking like gendaphool 🌼

A movie that has aged well and honestly holds up much better than I remembered. What surprised me the most is that amidst all the larger-than-life roles Salman Khan has portrayed, this is one of his peak performances where he truly excelled. A simple story about failure, regret, and second chances.

The first half flies by. Sultan and Aarfa's journey, along with the wrestling backdrop of Haryana, makes the film feel grounded and deeply rooted. The romance works, the humour lands, the emotional moments hit, and you genuinely get invested in Sultan's world.

The second half proceeds really well until the MMA fight sequences, where it becomes slightly formulaic, although it doesn't hamper the movie in any way. Still, unlike many sports dramas where the matches are the only attraction, Sultan works because the emotional stakes are strong. Kudos to the writing and an even stronger Salman Khan performance, which keeps you invested even outside the ring.

Credit rightfully goes to Salman for how vulnerable he allowed himself to look. The character is arrogant, selfish, broken, and often his own worst enemy. This is easily one of Salman's best performances of his career.

Anushka Sharma is excellent too. Aarfa isn't written as your typical girl-next-door love interest. She is a character driven by her own ambitions, with her own flaws and reasons for walking away.

Randeep Hooda and Kumud Mishra both are excellent in their roles, while Amit Sadh, although having a smaller role does well.

Also special mention to Vishal-Shekhar for the amazing music. Jag Ghoomeya, Baby Ko Bass Pasand, Bulleya and Sultan title track are still some songs that people listen to today.

Looking back, I think this is one of those times when the box office numbers were fully justified, as Sultan became a phenomenon upon release. Not only in India, but it also went on to do excellent business overseas.

This one definitely stands tall among the works of Salman Khan, Anushka Sharma, and I would say even Ali Abbas Zafar. Its heart is in the right place. It isn't perfect, but it genuinely works as a story of failure and redemption through Sultan Ali Khan.

Not his biggest cultural phenomenon, but this is one of Salman's most iconic characters. And honestly, one of the most well-made mainstream sports dramas Bollywood has produced.

How to NOT do a fusion dance featuring Pandeyji ki beti.

I genuinely feel bad for the choreographers as they definitely would have had several rehearsals with Ananya to get this right, but eventually the choreographers got blamed for this, meanwhile Pandeyji ki biitiya walked scott free without delivering anything and ruining the dance.

The birth of the yesss meme

The funny thing is that despite calling it Alia Bhatt's RRR, they have used the image featuring Jr NTR and Ram Charan. Clownery at its peak

Clownery at its peak

When most of the reviewers are calling Alia a miscast and not suitable for action, here comes Anupama Chopra the saviour who not only sings praises but also says that Alia makes fight scenes work and also praises her in heaps.

Anupama Chopra will never learn.

Same as title.

Every hour there are posts just revolving around the influencers and their activities in the shows., there are separate subs to discuss those.

Let this be space to gossip about infleuncers and not something about what they are doing in a game show.

The genuine posts get hidden because of influx of these game show posts.

Could have at least waited until the weekend to unleash the offer.

Tripti Dimri reportedly stepped away from Toxic because of scheduling conflicts, having already committed her dates to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. The makers of Toxic were keen to cast her as the main female lead opposite Yash owing to the popularity and attention she received after Animal, but things didn't work out, leading to Kiara stepping in.

Kareena Kapoor's exit was initially linked to date issues as well. However, reports later suggested that the real reason was her dissatisfaction with the role, with sources close to the actress claiming that she felt the character was too limited and didn't have enough significance in the film.

So, in the latest episode of Lock Up show S2 airing on Netflix, Ram Kapoor was involved in a physical interaction with another contestant, which seemed forceful in nature.

Viewers have criticized Ram Kapoor for acting inappropriately and calling him out for being disrespectful of consent.

Not a Kangana fan, but the fact that Ravi Kishan having a low parliamentary attendance and featuring in almost a movie every month along with web series and game shows isn't being questioned?
