The excitement for the movie was quite evident since its announcement, and the makers of the film cashed on it very cleverly.   The character posters were released first to increase audience’s anticipation, and created buzz all over social media.   Recently, the first song of the movie Ghar more pardesiya was released and appreciated all over social media.

Source: The terrible meme If the reference of wedding planners sent you in Band Baaja Baarat mode, then you are in for a surprise.  Made In Heaven (MIH) is way polarized.  From the trailer, many people perceived the show to be about rich people and their wedding shenanigans, but the show is way beyond that too.  MIH takes you on a ride to Delhi.  From the rich areas of South Delhi to the cramped-up streets of Dwarka, the show provides a reflection of the good, the bad and the ugly of the weddings, marriages and the society as a whole.  And damn the series succeeds in achieving what it set out to do.  If your expectations from Indian web series were raised by Sacred Games , then finally here is another show to raise those expectations further up.

Source: DNA Call it bad luck or whatever, but even with the backing of a big production house or a big co-star, his films have mostly found a lukewarm response among the audience. Aashiqui 2 was a game-changer in his career, where finally this talented youngster finally got a leading role and was recognized for his acting abilities, but the feeling was short lived as he began to be type-cast.   A raging alcoholic and a failed career are some of the traits that became associated with each and every role he endeavored in, but he always tried to bring something different on the table.   Here are a few of the underrated
