Review of "Vedaa": A High-Octane Drama That Packs a Punch Against Injustice

Vedaa is a gripping tale of resilience, empowerment, and the fight against caste oppression, brought to life by director Nikkhil Advani. The film masterfully combines a strong social message with action-packed sequences, making it a compelling watch.

about:blank

The story follows Vedaa (Sharvari), a young Dalit girl from Barmer with dreams of becoming a boxer. Her aspirations, however, threaten the rigid caste-based norms upheld by the village pradhan, Jitin Pratap Singh (Abhishek Banerjee), and his ruthless brother, Suyog (Kshitij Chauhan). Despite their oppressive grip on the village, Vedaa remains undeterred.

The arrival of court-martialed Army Major Abhimanyu (John Abraham) marks a turning point in her life. With his mentorship, Vedaa hones her skills and finds the strength to fight back—not just in the ring, but also against the injustices plaguing her family and community. Together, they form an indomitable team, delivering a strong message about resilience and resistance.

Inspired by real-life stories, Vedaa fearlessly highlights caste-based discrimination and systemic violence. The screenplay by Aseem Arora evokes the nostalgic charm of 90s Hindi cinema, blending intense drama, raw action, and emotionally charged moments.

Performances: John Abraham shines as the stoic and action-driven Abhimanyu. His silent demeanor is balanced by powerful stunt sequences that are among the film’s highlights. Sharvari, in her breakout role as Vedaa, delivers a raw and compelling performance. She effortlessly captures the determination of a young woman standing tall against adversity. Abhishek Banerjee is convincing as the menacing antagonist, skillfully embodying a character driven by regressive ideologies.

Strengths: The film’s gritty tone, impactful action choreography, and evocative scenes leave a lasting impression. Songs like "Zaroorat Se Zyada" enhance the narrative, blending seamlessly with the mood. The second-half action sequences, in particular, are adrenaline-pumping and well-executed.

Weaknesses: However, Vedaa falters in parts. The climax feels stretched and unnecessarily convoluted, while a couple of songs disrupt the film’s pacing. Some moments come across as formulaic and predictable, which detracts from the otherwise engaging narrative.

Verdict: Despite its minor flaws, Vedaa delivers a powerful punch with its action-packed sequences and heartfelt message. Nikkhil Advani has crafted a masala entertainer that balances drama, social commentary, and high-octane action. It’s a film that not only entertains but also inspires, leaving audiences with plenty to cheer for.

What'd Ayushmann do? Just curious since you used to love him

omg where to begin anon

I have immense personal beef with him alongside the actual fucked up things he's done, but perhaps that's for another day.

For now, let's talk about dream girl 2 which BLATANTLY boasts the ever-problematic man-in-a-dress trope-

I mean, sure, one can argue that's the whole point of the movie, but one look at the trailer will tell you it's so horribly and insensitively written this time around.

Dream girl 1 was about loneliness- specifically, male loneliness, and how all anyone ever wants is to be heard. And about how people would probably understand you if they're just given a chance. And contains the lines "nobody in this world is right. Some are just less wrong than others."

Dream girl 2 is quite literally about a man who dresses up as a woman to prostitute himself for money. No joke.

Oh, and it gets worse. None of the men actually know he's a guy. So it's pushing the message that he's "tricking them." It's not even subtext like that's literally the entire premise. A man dresses up as a woman to trick innocent men. For money.

It's transphobic, it's severely misogynistic, and it's somehow also fetishistic in the worst way possible. I mean the entire promo was based on sexual marketing. I hope it was all for nothing and the movie fucking bombs.

Also, Ayushmann Khurrana, who is literally geriatric at almost 40, romances a 24 year old Ananya Pandey.

And, yes, this is typical for Bollywood. But for a chucklefuck who once prided himself on being "offbeat" and "brave" and "non-mainstream" and "feminist" this is a very chucklefuck thing to do.

Keep in mind that all of this comes after Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui (which does have its flaws, but the heart and intent was definitely there), a movie that celebrated trans women and literally was created to beat the stereotypes surrounding them. For which he pretended to be a trans ally for a whole YEAR AND A HALF as part of promotions.

So the sudden switch up with dg2 is... Appalling. To say the least.

Apart from this, he also used to post regularly about social/civic issues and problems in our country, which he entirely stopped doing once his movies bombed. And, yes, nobody should be expected to do that. But keep in mind, once again, this man's entire career was built off marginalised communities. Especially the queer community. Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan caused like a 40% jump in his ig followers. I would know, because I was there.

Which led him to receive more roles in this little niche he loved so much.

The man was cocky enough to think a couple movies would change the world, let the arrogance get to his thick fucking skull, and decided tackling controversial topics won't come at a cost. (Well, newsflash, asshole! Oppression doesn't exist because marginalised people aren't trying hard enough to get their words out. It exists because it fucking exists. No amount of your mug on the big screen would have ever changed that).

He essentially went into this niche with all the wrong intentions. Not to speak up FOR queer people, women, scheduled castes, etc, but with the arrogance that he'll actually change the mind of the masses. God complex, more or less. Or saviour complex. Or both.

A few years ago, he'd made it clear that he's an actor, not an activist.

Mf forgot that himself somewhere along the way.

So, what did he do when his offbeat movies started failing back to back?

Packed up and turned his back on the very people he hollered about and celebrated himself for representing.

Went right into the cushy arms of mainstream, problematic, cringe, crass, insensitive side of Bollywood. For money.

Fucking hypocrite.

Hope all that cowardice was worth the bag.

Ayesha Takia hits back at trolls over her looks; says, “I’m sending back all ur shitty energy”

Ayesha Takia responds to online criticism with a powerful message.

Bollywood actress Ayesha Takia, known for her roles in films like Taarzan: The Wonder Car, Wanted, and others, recently found herself at the centre of social media attention after making a rare public appearance at the airport. However, what should have been a routine sighting turned into a storm of online criticism and trolling regarding her alleged plastic surgery and appearance.

In response to the unwarranted scrutiny, Ayesha Takia took to her Instagram handle to address the situation. She shared a message expressing her frustration and disappointment with the negativity surrounding her recent appearance. Ayesha wrote, “Need to say this,

Rushed to goa two days ago..had a medical emergency in my family...my sister has literally been in hospital. Amidst all this, I remember being stopped by paps and posing for them for basically a few seconds before flying off. Tuns out there are no other important issues in the country except dissecting my looks...been bombarded by viral ridiculous opinions of how ppl think I should have looked and don't. Literally get over me yaar, I have zero interest in doing any films or any comeback like ppl are saying.”

She further added, “I'm living my life happily, never want to be in the limelight, not interested in any fame, don't wanna be in any film...so chill..Pls feel free to not care about me at all...Expecting a girl whose mostly been seen in her teens to look identical even after 15 years...how unrealistic and ridiculous are these ppl...lol.”

On the work front Ayesha Takia's last on-screen appearance was in the Hindi-language romantic drama film titled Mod. Directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Nagesh Kukunoor, the movie boasted a talented ensemble cast including Rannvijay Singh, Raghubir Yadav, Tanvi Azmi, and Anant Mahadevan, alongside Ayesha Takia herself. Mod graced the silver screens on October 14, 2011.

Plot Synopsis

"PK" tells the story of an innocent and curious alien named PK, played by Aamir Khan, who arrives on Earth but loses his communication device (resembling a remote control) that he needs to return home. In his quest to retrieve it, PK finds himself in the midst of human society, navigating cultural diversity, religious beliefs, and societal norms.

Satire with a Heart

At its core, "PK" is a satirical take on the complexities of religion and belief systems.

review of bhool bhulaiya 3

The third installment of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise, directed by Anees Bazmee, blends horror, comedy, and social commentary, continuing its legacy with some fresh twists and familiar thrills. Here’s an in-depth look at the movie:

Plot and Themes

The story revisits Rooh Baba (Kartik Aaryan) as he faces a new supernatural challenge intertwined with themes of reincarnation and family betrayal. The narrative introduces Prince Debendranath, a tragic figure from Rooh Baba's past life, whose untimely demise fuels the plot's tension. The film layers its horror-comedy with a social message about superstitions and blind faith, cleverly tackling issues while delivering entertainment​.

The climax is particularly notable for its unpredictability, leaving audiences both shocked and satisfied. However, some plot points, like a forced romantic subplot and certain songs, feel reluctant.

Performances

Kartik Aaryan shines in his portrayal of Rooh Baba, balancing comedy and intensity. His dance sequences and emotional range are highlights.

Vidya Balan returns as Manjulika, delivering a powerful performance that keeps her character enigmatic.

Madhuri Dixit joins as Anjulika, stealing scenes with her elegance and commanding screen presence, especially in her late entry.

Supporting cast members like Rajpal Yadav and Vijay Raaz provide comic relief, while Triptii Dimri adds depth to the story despite limited screen time​.

Technical Aspects

The cinematography by Manu Anand is a standout, capturing Ladakh's landscapes and eerie interiors with stunning visuals. The production design and VFX by Red Chillies match global standards, elevating the film's overall impact. The background score enhances the tension, but the title track feels repetitive compared to its predecessors. Songs like "Ami Je Tomar 3.0" resonate well, becoming a soulful highlight​.

Strengths

Engaging blend of horror and comedy.

Strong performances, especially by the lead actors.

High production values with impressive visuals and sound design.

A thought-provoking social message embedded within the narrative​.

Weaknesses

Certain subplots and songs feel unnecessary.

A slower first half compared to the thrilling climax.

Dialogues occasionally lack the sharpness expected in a horror-comedy​.

Verdict

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 successfully delivers on its promise of horror-comedy while experimenting with social commentary and complex narratives. Though it has minor flaws, its entertaining performances and compelling climax make it a worthy addition to the franchise. Fans of the series and Bollywood masala films will enjoy this ride.

Rating: 3.5/5 for its entertainment value, strong performances, and technical brilliance​

Bollywood Movies and Their Impact on Society

Bollywood, the world’s largest film industry, has long been a significant cultural force, not just in India but globally. Known for its larger-than-life spectacles, vibrant storytelling, and unforgettable music, Bollywood films have shaped and reflected societal values, attitudes, and aspirations for decades. From romantic dramas to action-packed thrillers, these films are a mirror to the social fabric of Indian society. However, Bollywood's influence extends beyond mere entertainment—it plays a crucial role in shaping perceptions, challenging norms, and even driving social change.

1. Bollywood as a Reflection of Society

One of the most evident ways Bollywood affects society is by reflecting the cultural, social, and political landscape of India. For instance, films like Sholay (1975) captured the post-independence rural backdrop, while films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) showed a shift in the urban mindset toward more liberal values regarding romance, love, and family dynamics. More recently, movies like Article 15 (2019) and Padman (2018) have addressed pressing social issues such as caste discrimination, women’s health, and gender equality.

Bollywood often adapts real-life issues, amplifying them to reach millions. Whether it's tackling issues like corruption, poverty, or the gender divide, films become a means through which society can engage in important discussions. These stories not only entertain but also encourage social change by shedding light on existing problems, thus inspiring action both on the personal and collective level.

2. Shaping Social Norms and Values

Bollywood movies play a crucial role in shaping societal norms and values. The portrayal of idealistic characters often sets a standard for behavior, while the depiction of romance, family life, and friendship helps define what is considered "normal" in society. A generation ago, films like Mughal-e-Azam (1960) and Kabhi Kabhie (1976) presented idealized images of love and family that influenced the way people perceived relationships.

More recently, Bollywood has begun to break down old stereotypes and reimagine societal roles. In films such as Queen (2013) and Piku (2015), women were shown as strong, independent, and capable of living on their own terms, challenging traditional ideas about marriage and gender roles. Similarly, films like My Name Is Khan (2010) address issues of religious intolerance and promote messages of unity, tolerance, and understanding, highlighting Bollywood’s role in social progress.

3. Bollywood's Influence on Fashion and Lifestyle

Bollywood stars are often seen as trendsetters. The clothes they wear, the cars they drive, and the lifestyles they lead are emulated by millions of fans across the globe. Bollywood films can make or break trends. For example, the iconic saree worn by Sridevi in Chandni (1989) or the fashion-forward outfits seen in movies like Dil Chahta Hai (2001) and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011) have not only influenced fashion choices but also redefined modern concepts of beauty and style.

As the industry has gone global, Bollywood has increasingly played a part in defining India’s image on the world stage. Bollywood celebrities are seen as global influencers, and their brand endorsements and fashion choices affect consumer behavior in a significant way.

4. Bollywood and Gender Representation

Historically, Bollywood has faced criticism for its portrayal of women, often relegating them to roles that are passive, submissive, or merely decorative. However, recent trends in Indian cinema reflect a shift towards more nuanced and empowered female characters. Films like Dangal (2016), Tumhari Sulu (2017), and Raazi (2018) showcase women as central protagonists with their own ambitions, strengths, and vulnerabilities.

This shift is not only empowering women but also influencing societal perceptions of gender roles. Audiences are more likely to accept and appreciate strong, independent female characters, which in turn helps challenge traditional patriarchal structures. Moreover, Bollywood has begun to explore non-heteronormative stories as well, such as Kapoor & Sons (2016) and Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan (2020), encouraging more acceptance of LGBTQ+ relationships.

5. Bollywood and Mental Health Awareness

Bollywood has also become an important vehicle for spreading awareness about mental health issues. Films like Dear Zindagi (2016), Chhichhore (2019), and Taare Zameen Par (2007) address subjects such as depression, anxiety, and learning disabilities, which have long been stigmatized in Indian society. By bringing these topics into mainstream discourse, Bollywood films have contributed to reducing the stigma surrounding mental health and have encouraged people to seek help and speak openly about their struggles.

These films often depict characters who are flawed, vulnerable, and dealing with real-life challenges, allowing audiences to see that they are not alone in their struggles. This portrayal has made a significant difference in how mental health is perceived in India, contributing to a larger cultural shift toward greater acceptance and understanding of emotional well-being.

6. Bollywood's Global Reach

Bollywood's influence extends beyond Indian borders, with a significant diaspora of fans in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa, and even the Western world. The global reach of Bollywood films has helped in spreading Indian culture, music, and even political ideologies. Bollywood songs, dances, and catchphrases have become synonymous with Indian identity, making Indian culture more accessible and relatable to people around the world.

Through its global success, Bollywood has also created a platform for cultural exchange, where stories from different parts of the world, such as films from the Indian diaspora, are shared, discussed, and celebrated. This international appeal has bridged cultural divides and made Bollywood a symbol of India's soft power on the world stage.

Conclusion

Bollywood, while primarily an entertainment industry, has become a driving force for cultural change in India and around the world. Its impact on society is vast and multi-dimensional, influencing everything from social norms and gender roles to fashion trends and mental health awareness. As the industry continues to evolve, its role in shaping perceptions and challenging societal norms will only grow, ensuring that Bollywood remains a powerful tool for both reflection and transformation in the years to come.

When Abhishek Banerjee walks into a room, it’s like the scene just shifts. This guy has made audiences laugh, squirm, and everything in between. But in VEDAA, Banerjee takes on a role that’s intense, gritty, and deeply rooted in social issues. I recently sat down with Abhishek to talk about the challenges, inspirations, and the surprising personal reflections that came with this role. Spoiler alert: he brings more of himself to his characters than you’d ever guess. Diving into the Role In VEDAA, Banerjee’s character faces complex societal dynamics, and when I asked if he brought any personal experience to the role, he didn’t hesitate. “I come from an upper caste,” he explained, “and growing up, I heard stories about caste and politics.” He touched on how the societal hierarchy and biases embedded from childhood almost normalized these structures until, like he said, “you realize how silly it is.” VEDAA gave him the chance to dive into a theme many would shy away from, proving this movie isn’t your average Bollywood entertainment​. Banerjee praised the production team, acknowledging the guts it took for creators like John Abraham, Nikhil Advani, and ZEE5 Global to push for a story that dives deep into social discourse. “It’s not just about making a statement,” he said. “They knew this had to be entertaining and thought-provoking.” He believes VEDAA strikes a balance, delivering an impactful message while making audiences think without being preachy. It’s a fine line, but Banerjee and the team managed to walk it. Working with John Abraham and Shavari Wagh Talking about his co-stars, Abhishek Banerjee gave a glimpse of the chemistry that drives VEDAA. He described an “unsaid rule” between him and co-star Shavari Wagh: no eye contact during intense scenes. “I’d observe her from afar,” he said, noting that she’d listen to music to get into character. Banerjee admired her dedication, saying, “It’s like she was in the film completely.” Banerjee didn’t hold back on his admiration for John Abraham either. “John sir is one of the kindest,” he said. Banerjee admitted to feeling nervous facing such a seasoned actor but appreciated John’s patience and supportive nature. “He’s sharp, always there to help his co-stars,” he added. For Abhishek Banerjee, working with John was as much a lesson as it was a collaboration, especially given the film’s heavy themes​. The Physical Challenges of VEDAA Every actor has their battle scars, and Banerjee’s VEDAA journey is no exception. One intense scene called for him to take on an oversized stuntman—a moment that didn’t go quite as planned. “He jumped on the wrong shoulder, and I got injured,” Banerjee laughed, “but we kept shooting.” Despite the physical toll, Banerjee approached each action scene with a grin, ready to tackle whatever the director threw at him. This physical resilience isn’t new to him, but it definitely added to the grittiness of his performance in VEDAA. Banerjee’s Evolving Craft Abhishek Banerjee has played various characters, from comedic to sinister, but he mentioned that he always keeps his roles “close to home.” “It’s like a mix of my personality and the character,” he shared. For VEDAA, he brought an intensity that made his performance stand out. He also credited previous roles, like Paatal Lok, for giving him a boost in the industry. According to him, every few years, a project like VEDAA comes along that pushes him to a new level. Banerjee reflected on how challenging it was to balance the role’s darkness with the relatability that makes VEDAA so compelling. He considers this role a true test of his abilities, especially as a “mainstream antagonist,” where he had to keep the audience’s focus entirely on his character’s journey​. Final Thoughts By the end of our conversation, it was clear that Banerjee’s experience on VEDAA was transformative. “I’m excited for everyone to see this,” he said, and honestly, I’m excited too. VEDAA isn’t just another Bollywood movie; it’s a bold step in tackling sensitive issues through cinema, and Banerjee’s dedication shines through in every frame. For those who think Bollywood’s all fluff, get ready—VEDAA just might change your mind. Read the full article

Influencer Marketing in India: Collaborating with Bollywood's Biggest Stars

Movie marketing strategies in India have evolved significantly over the years, and one of the most effective tactics has been to leverage the immense popularity of Bollywood celebrities. Influencer marketing, especially when it involves collaborating with Bollywood's biggest stars, has become a crucial component of a successful movie campaign.

The Power of Bollywood Stars

Bollywood celebrities have a massive following in India, and their endorsement can significantly impact a movie's box office performance. Fans are often eager to watch films featuring their favorite actors and actresses. By collaborating with these stars, filmmakers can tap into their existing fan base and generate buzz around their movies.

Effective Influencer Marketing Strategies

Here are some effective ways to utilize Bollywood stars for influencer marketing:

Product Placements: Integrating the movie into the celebrity's lifestyle can be a powerful way to promote it. For instance, a star could be shown using the movie's products, wearing its merchandise, or discussing the film in their social media posts.

Social Media Campaigns: Bollywood celebrities can create social media campaigns to promote the movie, sharing behind-the-scenes footage, teasers, and trailers. They can also engage with fans through Q&A sessions, live streams, and contests.

Public Appearances: Joint appearances by the movie's cast and Bollywood stars at events, premieres, and award shows can generate significant media attention and create a buzz around the film.

Celebrity Endorsements: A formal endorsement from a popular Bollywood star can add credibility to the movie and increase its appeal to a wider audience.

Case Studies

Several successful Bollywood movies have leveraged influencer marketing to achieve box office success. For example, the film "Dangal" featured Aamir Khan, one of India's most popular actors. His involvement helped to generate immense buzz around the movie, contributing to its massive commercial success.

Challenges and Considerations

While influencer marketing with Bollywood stars can be highly effective, it's important to consider the following challenges:

Cost: Collaborating with top Bollywood stars can be expensive. Filmmakers need to carefully evaluate the potential return on investment before making such decisions.

Authenticity: The collaboration should feel natural and authentic to avoid alienating fans. Forced or inauthentic endorsements can backfire.

Brand Alignment: It's essential to ensure that the celebrity's brand aligns with the movie's message and values. A mismatch can create confusion and damage the film's reputation.

In conclusion, influencer marketing with Bollywood's biggest stars is a powerful tool for promoting movies in India. By effectively leveraging the immense popularity of these celebrities, filmmakers can generate buzz, reach a wider audience, and increase the chances of box office success.

Your response to people suffering was to glitch a website, manipulate recorded audio, and underplay significant matters. This isn’t My Rejected Boyfriend Diary.

I caught you as the 911 jailer; caught you in law guy suit mode, scamming fans and news reporters; living alone in the UK; and rapey soul-baring through stitcher thread.

How was Colombia?

Between staged projects, oh god, did your wife lecture in bogus platitudes her experience with systemic racism? The dollar-signed, stork-wed couple embraced children who at fifteen will learn my story and how they got double rat hugged and will need talking down from a cliff.

You use a surname that, in print, sends a violent message to a man who didn’t want me cut off or shut away for decades. In return, for her team, you generate personal and lifestyle reinvention for status-seeking profit. Umm. No. A televised Californian of mature years, ex-husband with my birthdate, knows my dinosaur-inked story, what a family did to me, and what would unfold with a plagued wedding. I’m in decades-old, unconsenting, rapey pedo limbo, reading obituaries of youngsters, Moms and Dads, go through with hurting themselves.

No one recovers from reading child deaths. But her ornamental coupling is special. I’m sure loved ones, in emotional shambles, will appreciate that it was all to zing a movie star on opposite day. I was in Twitter glass when I observed the trending of a chat between social activist, Gloria Steinem and your disingenuous spouse. Her wedding had a mattress tag and a first dibs toast.

And heirs. Confirming the exclusionary, not to mention seedy, coupling. As you put it, in neon, on your sentimentally romantic and visual account: The Matrix has you. An ode to Hollywood, apparently, and the lack of autonomy given to a tiny girl. Your partnership drives people to fatality. Peter Alexander Beckett from Carmarthenshire, Wales, just hours before going on stage, hung himself. One month prior to your wedding.

We lifted scratchy leashing for Archillect, Murat Pak, you know the rest. On Twitter, Harry is actress, Kat Dennings. In 2022, he posted: “I am unwell. Oh no, I think I love WWE.” Might look innocuous. Harry Wales is declaring himself a ringmaster. Because a youth-obsessed married nomadic masterful rapey pedophile textually going after athletes who could shut down his blood flow, oxygen supply, and cause serious physical harm is smart. That’s why it’s deleted.

YouTube video on the Prince’s Trust channel—Prince William, Prince Harry & The Prince of Wales Interview with Ant and Dec. A 2006 interview with the serpent trio on supporting unknown artists with grants and self-esteem, not kidnapping and trouncing on them, which is my royal experience. At 4:37, Prince Greenwell (a repetitive colour scheme) says his favorite show. “FRIENDS is always a safe bet.” Six words. Eliciting a chuckle. Palms touching.

Not her: The lifelong refrain.

Keeping me at bay, as royals, was a perilous idea.

My lovely friends disapproving, to an extreme degree, the actions of princes.

Kushal Punjabi—dancer-choreographer, from the musical, Andaaz, he won the reality game show, Zor Ka Jhatka, India’s Wipeout, the physical obstacle course, edging out 28 contestants. He hung himself at home in Bandra West, Mumbai. December 2019. He has a son, Kian.

Vaishali Takkar—tv actress, best known for the popular Hindi series, Super Sisters, a show about close siblings and their super powers. The show is available on YouTube and has millions of views. Her Insta page has over 500K followers. She took her life on October 15, 2022.

Former air hostess of Qatar Airways turned Bollywood actor, Noor Malabika—hung herself in her Lokhandwala, Mumbai flat a few months ago. June 10, 2024. Her body was decomposed. Friends identified her by the crown tattoo on her wrist and her name underneath.
