Location Shoot of ‘Kashmir : Enigma Of Paradise’ in Lonavla at the Baje Caves site Kashmir has often been referred to as heaven on earth. The valley is also famous for its dry fruits, apples and picturesque scenery. It's been on every tourist's 'To Do' list since time immemorial. But Terrorism has played spoilsport for the past decade and more. But the recent influx of tourists has now encouraged film producers to start shooting their films in what is also referred to as India's Switzerland. Atul Garg's in- production film Kashmir : Enigma of Paradise hopes to debunk the propaganda of hate spread by recent films focussed on Kashmir. Its a pity that to-date no film has tried to show the germination of strife in Kashmir. Writer Director Atul Garg's upcoming film Kashmir - Enigma of Paradise attempts to take care of this lacuna. This film, takes us back to the last century i.e. before independence, from 1920 onwards and ends in todays Kashmir. It's ...

It’s about the persistent investigation of a reverse Havala racket by an IB team. It’s not exactly intelligent but is immersive enough and has quite a few tense moments thanks to a bustling momentum, surprise reveals, plot twists, a contra-twist, and some standout performances by #AvinashTiwary #RohanVinodMehra and #JitinGulati. Gulati’s nuan...

It’s his show all the way, the swag, the romance, the action, the dialogue ensures that its him hogging the limelight. Everyone else is just window dressing and even the villain comes across as a caricature. In fact Atlee’s film feels more like a comic strip than a cinematic adven...

Ultra-violent, bestial, and off-putting, the narrative devolves into confusion and mayhem as the Kinnars take on the Politician in a lesser evil versus greater evil fight for cadavers and human remains. #AnuragKashyap appears to be having a ball and #Nawazuddin makes a sincere effort to look and feel the part but the narrative’s obsession with the gruesome a...
