Can anyone please share a review of these two lip balms? I can’t decide which one to get.

This is my first time trying a Laneige lip balm, and I can’t decide which one to get. My lips get chapped really easily, especially in dry/cold weather, so I’m looking for something that’s actually moisturizing but also gives a little shine.

I’ve been wanting to try one from this brand, but I’m not sure if it’s really worth ₹1000. Can anyone who has tried these share their experience? Which one would you recommend, or are there any better alternatives? 🥺

Sanju was an image whitewashing project, but the movie was actually good.

I like to consider this film fiction rather than a biopic. It felt more like a glorification of a grown ass man as a victim of circumstances, while downplaying the fact that many of those circumstances were consequences of his own choices. He had immense privilege and opportunities, yet the film often seemed more interested in making us sympathize with him than holding him accountable.

Maybe in the future, we'll get a biopic about Salman Bhoi showing how he was a misunderstood victim all along and how we should sympathize with him too. 😂

I don't think many people in the 90s would've believed that at some point in the future, Ajay Devgn would end up looking better than Salman Khan 🫪

This has to be an unpopular opinion regarding these 2 but I feel Ajay aged really well considering how he used to be mocked for his appearance despite being a good actor. Shows us how staying fit and disciplined can benefit anyone. As for Salman Bhoi can't say if it's steroids, drinking etc or Karma of his plenty​ of ​bad deeds.

What is the most uncomfortable on screen pairing you have seen?

These ones look more like Father Daughter pairs than couples. No amount of vfx and editing can fix that. I don't understand why these 60+ men can't work with age appropriate actress, their films might receive a good response if the visuals don't look so cringeworthy.

Ok the Awarapan 2 music is actually hitting different, not just riding on nostalgia.

Say what you want about Emraan Hashmi films but the soundtracks have never missed. Awarapan, Jannat, Murder, all had that same aching, late ​night ​drive kind of music. Turns out for part 2 they've recreated "Tera Mera Rishta" and "Toh Phir Aao" from the original with Mithoon and Sayeed Quadri, and honestly they kept the soul of it intact instead of just modernizing it into something generic.

Also there's a new track "Ve Junoon" sung by Subodhh Sharma that's got the same heartbreak-core energy, and "Yeh Awarapan" with Arijit Singh which is exactly the kind of song that ruins you on a bad day. Feels like they actually understood why the original's music worked instead of just cashing in on the name.

Might genuinely go for the movie just for the soundtrack tbh. Heard first-time bookers get ₹125 off on 2+ tickets on district.

Salman Khan isn't hating enough for his crimes.

He tormented this woman so much just because she refused to be with him, he was abusive, ​controlling, insecure that she worked with other male actors and basically wanted her to quit her career. He also cheated on her several times.

She dumped him when she got sick of his manchild behaviour b​ut he still wouldn't let her live with peace. He kept harrassing her out of jealousy ​even when she started dating other men. I don't know how can someone be a fan of such an evil man.

typo: Hated

Not a fan of Kareena, but I appreciate her for not resorting to Botox / Fillers and ageing gracefully.

These other actresses preach about self worth and how opinion of other people shouldn't affect you and what not. Then resort to botox fillers and all kinds of procedures to look young and gain praise. No matter how much praise they gain they still, ​do these procedures out of insecurity.

Atleast Kareena is being real in this aspect. She is trolled for wrinkles and ageing but she doesn't let that affect her confidence.

Do you think Aishwarya Rai made a mistake by dumping Vivek Oberoi?

He was the only person to support her when even her own friends sided with abusive rat Selmon Bhoi. Infact Bhoi was bullying and harrassing Vivek because of his insecurity that she moved on with Vivek and he was still rotting alone. Many say she used ​Vivek as a rebound, and left him when she found a better option. I feel she could have been happier with him (not saying Abhishek is a bad guy, but Vivek did so much for as well)

Who's that one celeb you can never like, no matter how hard their PR tries to clean up their shady image and past deeds?

These 2 are pretty self explanatory, one is an industry plant who loves to steal opportunities and attack everyone who's doing better than her. The other one is a literal pos criminal who used to beat and abuse ​women, killed people and animals. Idk why he's still worshipped by idiots.

Edit: ​I'm not saying she's a criminal or abuser like ratface Selmon Bhoi but she is a toxic person who uses her team and influence to snatch opportunities and defame others. As for the other one he should be in jail for the filthy things he has done over the years. Audience and especially the brainless women who defend this ugly ​maniac should be ashamed.

How come these four are the victim in every situation?

Why are these women perceived as the victim in everything that goes wrong in their life? People act as if they are blameless saints and no matter the situation, the entire blame will always be thrown on the other person,​ giving them a complete free pass. This will become a really long post if I start describing the incidents in detail, ​but I am writing this in context of both their personal as well as professional lives. I don't think anyone even knows what's ​exactly going on their personal lives but still people have a preconceived notion that these women are the perpetual victims, they will even cook up fake stories in their head just to prove them write. It's kind of a Halo effect or pretty privilege bias when it comes to these women,​ ​where without knowing any context everyone just starts throwing the blame around to defend them.

Tell me a bollywood film worse than this 🤡

Made the mistake of watching this blasphemy once ​and I'm seriously out of words. This film was so atrocious in all aspects from acting to storytelling to dialogues everything was a mess. Salman looked like he was being forced at ​gunpoint to give expressions and speak dialogues, totally lazy and uninterested. Film had a lot of supporting characters for no reason, Pooja managed to do a decent job. This was a comedy film so I didn't expect much but it was so bad that it felt more like a parody.

The main highlight of the film was Salman doing lunges in the desert with his Rapunzel ​hair flying everywhere. Also whoever decided to slap that wig on Bhoi definitely wasn't a well wisher. ☠️

Rashmika Mandanna's acting in Bollywood films is nothing short of terrible.

She just doesn't suit the characters she's trying to play, mainly because her dialogue delivery is so ​poor. Her expressions can't mask the lack of efforts. She felt like a​ miscast in hit films like Chhaava as well. I don't understand why she keeps getting so many Bollywood films when she can't even recite the dialogues properly, she's in the same league as Jhanvi, Ananya, Sara etc when it comes to her acting chops in Hindi films.

Even in this clip from Sikandar film, ​her dialogue delivery is giving me the ick. Salman Khan is doing a terrible job like always, I don't expect any efforts from him cause he's a below average overhyped actor who is way past his prime ​but Rashmika is matching his lack of efforts for sure.

Why does Lord Ram have to be portrayed by a fair-skinned man? Many ancient descriptions depict Lord Ram as dark complexioned.

In the Valmiki Ramayana, Lord Ram is repeatedly described as śyāma, dark, dusky, or blue black in complexion and is often compared to a dark raincloud or a blue lotus. These descriptions have led many scholars and devotees to understand him as having a dark complexion. If ancient textual descriptions are the basis for depicting Lord Ram, why do so many modern portrayals consistently show him as fair-skinned? Even Sita Mata is described as having a golden or wheatish complexion (kanakavarnaangi) rather than a stark fair skin tone. Based on these descriptions, actors like Ranbir, Hrithik, Aishwarya, Kriti (popular choices) ​would all have been a ​miscast.

Edit: This image wasn't generated by me. It's attached​ only for reference to illustrate the point that Lord Ram is often described as having a dark complexion. It is not intended to be a historically or scripturally accurate depiction of his facial features or exact physical appearance.
