With a better script, Test could have been a compelling relationship drama. Instead, it only tests your patience, complains Mayur Sanap.
Akshay Kumar's superhero-without-the-cape act will supersede the sheer magnitude of the story, expects Mayur Sanap.
'I chose to give priority to my personal life.' 'It's not like I didn't want to act but I guess with certain times in your life, you have to handle certain things.' 'I've had a couple of ups and downs, so I kept taking breaks.'
'It took me three days to tell him that I am his huge fan.'
Will Salman's latest endeavour finally mark a pulpy return to form? Sadly, no, answers Mayur Sanap.
'Sab paise banane ka chakkar reh gaya.'
'I don't have a film background at all. This was the first I was presented on camera.'
When Salman sang the evergreen song Lag Jaa Gale, did he have anyone in mind?
'My family are the mainstream audience and think I am wasting my time. Until I make a Rs 100 crore film, they won't be convinced.'
'Aamir messaged me asking me, 'Is my sister good in the film?' I said, 'Sir, she is a lot better than good.' Mayur Sanap, Hitesh Harisinghani and Afsar Dayatar report from the trailer launch of L2: Empuraan.
An upright police officer fighting wrongdoing is something we have seen umpteen times before, but Khakee: The Bengal Chapter holds our interest, thanks to a layered and complex story with a dozen of well-detailed characters, observes Mayur Sanap.
'With Chhaava, we had to look from a different lens.' 'We had to write it in such a way that apart from the sacrifice, the fight and the war, there's a lot more to understand about the history of the Marathas.'
'It's always the men who are going crazy, barbaad. They never show a woman going crazy like that.' 'A woman has to be very proper, sitting on a swing, crying.'
Gauri Spratt has met Aamir's family and they are all 'extremely happy'.
'Aamir is really competitive. I feel that also keeps him young.'
For a story that thrives on jumpscares and gruesome kills, The Monkey has enough tricks up its sleeve. The shockers keep you entertained for the most part, observes Mayur Sanap.
Fiercely original filmmaking from a director whose even just good enough attempt fares much better than your average blockbusters, observes Mayur Sanap.
'It's no more just art and skills, it's a business.'
There is much in Oops! Ab Kya? that continues to linger till the cliff-hanger in the final episode. And yet, there's a great deal about the show that doesn't quite come together, observes Mayur Sanap.
'I knew I wouldn't be offered hero roles anymore. That is why when I accepted this show.'
