Dum Laga Ke Haisha (2015)

This movie involves the story between Ayushmann Khuranna and Bhumi Padnekar, and both of their families. Ayushmann plays the role of Prem, who owns a cassette shop in a local market and his father is urgently wanting his son to get married as soon as possible. Then he takes Prem and the rest of his family to a local temple to meet this girl, Sandhya, played by Bhumi  who has a B.ed. and is looking for an available teaching position. Unfortunately the most visible think about her is her weight not her looks like Prem wanted. Prem wanted a girl with 'Juhi Chawla type looks or any beautiful actress' but he had no choice but to marry her. Later on, as they days go by Prem ignores his wife but Sandhya tries to spice up and add love to their loveless marriage. In their community, a race is organized where the husband has to carry his wife and by the pressure of his family he participates in this race with his wife, Sandhya. In the middle of this loveless marriage, Sandhya decides that maybe she needs to put an end to this marriage and spare him of this forced marriage. One thing to question here is- Will Prem ever notice anything more than Sandhya's weight or just never overlook that part of her? Can this competition, which is titled 'Dum Laga Ke Haisha' once and for all bring them closer?


In my opinion, this movie made me laugh many times and question a few things too in the movie. But mainly it makes you realize that we cannot focus on one aspect of our life partner, gf/bf but we should already know this and a movie shouldn't have to teach us these things. This movie had a few genres such as; comedy, drama and it was a family type movie for all to watch. I loved Bhumi's acting in this film, since she played her role of his role of Prem's overweight wife very well and it suited her. The songs were very nicely sung in this film, one of my favourite songs has to be 'Dard Karaara' and the video of that song is posted above. I would give this movie a rating of 9/10, for me it hit all the spots from beginning to end maybe one or two things could be changed but otherwise it was amazing and always makes me laugh. I also loved Ayushmann's acting as well, he knows how to play all his roles and does an amazing job every time. The songs in the beginning of the film by Kumar Sanu were the best since he has such an amazing voice better than other singers. It may seem like a different type of film because of the story involved in it but give it a shot and you might just love it like I did. 

Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015)

                                          

As you all may know by watching the trailer of this movie or maybe watching all of it by now, that it starrs Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Harshaali Malhotra and Om Puri. The story starts with where this little girl who is mute, her name is Shahida (Harshaali) and she gets lost on her way back to Pakistan from her trip to India. While wandering around the city she gets lost in, she meets Pawan (Salman) who is facing a challenge by his lovers father and the role played by Kareena is as his lover. He is trying to find out where this little girl is from and who her parents are, while doing this him and the little girl develop an unbreakable and cute bond together. Then he realizes this girl is from Pakistan and he somehow has to get her there, this may include an illegal way. He uses the help of news reporter who helps him search for her parents and put the news out there, this story captures an audience in both India and Pakistan. This movie really captures the bond between Pawan and Shahida/Munni, this part of the movie really makes you very emotional and shows no matter where you are from these bonds can last and sometimes for a long time.

This movie includes a mix of genres going from comedy, drama, some romance and also this is a family type movie which will break you into many many tears. In my personal opinion, in the past few years Salman's movies were all having the same thing but this movie beat all of them because of the very emotional and magnificent story which will never get old. It also symbolizes the togetherness of two religions and two nations in the middle and end of the movie, this is something to look forward to. The whole movie was good from beginning to end since at first it set the setting really well for the audience then when the climax came it just got even better and makes you stay intrigued to watch the ending. I have to give it to Salman for his marvellous acting in the both comedy and emotional scenes since he acted them out really well. I would give this movie a 9/10, since it is also one of the best movies by Salman Khan and hope he brings more movies like this for us to watch. I would like to recommend this movie to all movie lovers who are interested in an emotional and dramatic movie with a side of comedy and of course should be a fan of Salman as well.
