Directed by Pushpdeep Bhardwaj, Jalebi is a romantic drama film. A remake of the Bengali film Praktan (2016), Jalebi stars Rhea Chakraborty, debutant Varun Mitra and Digangana Suryavanshi in lead roles.

Enjoyable fare

I like the film; it is the story of a girl and how she spends time away from her husband and then how circumstances unfold a different side of the plot. I enjoyed watching it.

Good concept

I didn’t like the climax of the film but, I liked the lead actress. She acted well. Also, the story and concept was nice.

Son of Manjeet Singh stars Gurpreet Ghuggi, Karamjit Anmol, Japji Khaira, BN Sharma, Harby Sangha and Malkit Rouni in main roles. It has been directed by Vikram Grover. The film, produced by comedian Kapil Sharma and Sumeet Singh, is an undefined relationship between father and son.

Sentimental issue

Ghuggi acted well. The film was directed well and it got sentimental. I like it.

Delightful acting 

I love the film. It talks about the shortcomings of our educational system and everyone’s acted well. The young actor, who plays the role of Manjit Singh’s son, is a delight to watch.

Helicopter Eela

Helicopter Eela is directed by Pradeep Sarkar. It features Kajol in the lead role, as an aspiring singer and single mother, and is written by Mitesh Shah and Anand Gandhi. It is based on the Gujarati play Beta, Kaagdo, written by Anand Gandhi. 

It’s so real

I love this girl (Kajol) film and it’s about an overprotective mother. We get too attached to children, like, in this film, the mother’s so fond of her son so she doesn’t want to let go of him but he just can’t breathe. In fact, later the child asks his mother to get back to singing. It’s a really nice film.

Beautiful theme 

It’s a nice film. Kajol’s acted well and we love the theme and how it revolves around the overprotective mother and her son.

Going off-track 

The film was below-average. Kajol acted well, but the side actors weren’t good at all. It was meaningless. There was no connection between the beginning and ending of the film. In the beginning one feels it is about a woman achieving her dream and then the story goes off-track.
