1. Jagga Jasoos’ New Song is a Treat, Thanks to the Choreographer
Anurag Basu’s much awaited film, Jagga Jasoos’ first song Ullu Ka Pattha is out. And the music is definitely a visual treat.
The quirkiness of the song comes through in the song. And Ranbir and Karina’s chemistry always works! And, of course, the choreography.
Choreographer Shiamak Davar has added a fun element to the song. The film comes across as an adventurous tale of two people on a journey together to find someone and this song sums up their journey as they go from one city to the other, collecting money by entertaining people with their dance.
Check out the song here:
2. How Desi Critics Are Reacting to Priyanka Chopra’s Hollywood Debut
Dwayne Johnson, Zac Efron, Priyanka Chopra, Alexandra Daddario, Pamela Anderson, David Hasselhoff starrer Baywatch has finally hit theatres in India. But critics are not impressed with Priyanka’s big Hollywood debut.
Here’s how they’re reacting to it:
The villain of the piece is Priyanka Chopra, vamping it up and having fun swearing like a sailor. Playing an attractive drug-dealer, she cannily uses this film to deliver a barely-disguised showreel to studios in need of a baddie. “I’m not a Bond villain,” she even says, perhaps prophetically, in as many words, “Yet.” Chopra doesn’t get to say her attitude-soaked “Easy, Britney” line - a quip I rather enjoyed in the trailer, aimed at a cross-dressing Efron - in our theatres. The scene, like many, has vanished.Raja Sen (NDTV)
