4. Baaghi 2’s ‘Mundiyan’: Unoriginal & Boring, Just Like its Trailer
Described as a “Punjabi tadka in a new avatar”, a remake of the song Mundiyan Tu Bach Ke is Baaghi 2’s newest offering. The word ‘newest’ is a bit of a stretch when you recycle an already remixed song (that Jay-Z even took to new levels) and make it sound so uninspired.

Columnist and novelist Shobhaa De is known for her acerbic words, but she may have gone slightly overboard this time. Commenting on the late actor Sridevi’s last rites, De had a very ‘ironic’ observation.
Sridevi’s accidental death came as a shock to the entire nation. The Indian actor is billed as the first female superstar of Bollywood. A legend, she was also accorded a befitting funeral with state honours.
The condolence meet saw the presence of fans and members of the film fraternity in huge numbers. As the nation mourned the icon and contemplated the pointlessness of life, trust De to conjure an inane tweet and draw attention to an inconsequential fact.
