Murder Mystery 2 movie review: Underwhelming flick but works due to the fun moments and performances

MURDER MYSTERY 2 is about the adventures of a detective couple. After the events of the first film, Nick Spitz (Adam Sandler) and Audrey Spitz (Jennifer Aniston) start their detective agency. Sadly, their new business doesn’t go as planned. One day, Maharajah Vikram Shivan Govindan (Adeel Akhtar) calls and informs them that he’s going to get married. He invites the Spitzes to his high-profile Indian wedding on a private island. Nick and Audrey realize that they need this break and accept the invitation. On the island, they are given a royal welcome. At the sangeet function before the marriage, things go unexpectedly. The Maharajah was supposed to make an entry on an elephant. Instead, his bodyguard Lou (Larry Myo Leong), in an injured state, makes the entry. Nick sees the Maharajah being taken away to the mainland forcibly. Nick and Audrey take charge and realize that not many knew that the Maharajah was going to enter the venue on an elephant. This means that the suspects are the ones who knew about the plan and they are Maharajah’s sister Saira (Kuhoo Verma), Maharajah’s fiancée Claudette (Mélanie Laurent), Maharajah’s ex-fiancee Countess Sekou (Jodie Turner-Smith), Maharajah’s friend and ex-soccer player Francisco (Enrique Arce) and Colonel Ulenga (John Kani). What happens next forms the rest of the film. James Vanderbilt's story is entertaining. James Vanderbilt's screenplay is peppered with some funny and outrageous moments just like the first part. But unlike MURDER MYSTERY [2019], the suspense factor is disappointing in MURDER MYSTERY 2. The dialogues are one of the strengths of the film and enhance the humour quotient in several scenes. Jeremy Garelick's direction is decent. A few scenes are well shot and thought out and will surely raise loads of laughs. The first half is quite good and sets the mood. The Indian audiences particularly would enjoy the pre-wedding scene due to the desi touch. Two scenes stand out here –the suspects sneaking into Nick and Audrey’s room one by one, and Nick and Audrey negotiating with the kidnapper on the phone. The climax has its share of thrills too. On the flipside, the revelation of the villain is unexpected but is also quite silly. The motive of the character to turn villain is not explained. The track of the Countess fails to entice as well. And the big problem with the film is that it’s too short. It has a runtime of 90 minutes, out of which the end credits take up to 11 minutes. Hence, the actual film is just 79 minutes long and viewers will feel cheated as it ends too soon. MURDER MYSTERY was also not quite lengthy. It was 8 minutes longer than the sequel but had enough meat in the script and the villain angle was justified. All these factors are missing here. Speaking of performances, Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston both are adorable and very funny. Yet again, they make a fantastic team and keep the viewers glued to the narrative. Adeel Akhtar is entertaining in a cameo. Mark Strong (Miller) leaves a huge mark. Enrique Arce is good as the creepy guy and brings the house down in a few scenes. Kuhoo Verma, Mélanie Laurent, Jodie Turner-Smith, John Kani and Larry Myo Leong are fine in the supporting roles. Zurin Villanueva (Imani) is memorable thanks to her laugh. Jillian Bell (Susan) is decent. Dany Boon (Inspector Delacroix) is dependable. Rupert Gregson-Williams's music has a cinematic feel. Bojan Bazelli's cinematography is splendid. The locales of Paris, especially, are very well shot. Perry Andelin Blake's production design is top class. Debra McGuire's costumes are glamorous. Special mention should be made of Jennifer Aniston’s lehenga in the pre-wedding sequence, designed by Manish Malhotra. The action is family-friendly. Tom Costain and Brian M Robinson's editing is sharp. On the whole, MURDER MYSTERY 2 works due to the fun moments and the performances of Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston. However, the suspense element is weak and hence, the film turns out to be an average fare. But thanks to the immense hype and popularity of the first part, MURDER MYSTERY 2 will surely record huge viewership on Netflix.

Siddharth Anand on Pathaan doing so well at box office: 'I don’t differentiate between the class and the mass audience'

Director Siddharth Anand has delivered two monstrous hits back to back with War and now Pathaan, which has also become the all-time highest-grossing Hindi film worldwide in the history of cinema. He feels a ‘huge sense of vindication’ with Pathaan proving that people want to come to theatres to see films that give audiences a larger-than-life experience!  Siddharth and the visionary S.S. Rajamouli are also the only two directors in the coveted Rs. 500 crore nett collection club in Hindi format. Siddharth has also blunted the narrative that Hindi films are being check-mated by South films at the box office. Siddharth says, “There is a huge sense of vindication with Pathaan doing well at the box office. What I believe that films weren’t doing well in the middle because those films were made pre-pandemic. So, there was a period where cinemas were shut and we couldn’t release our films, people weren’t coming back – so there was a prolonged break for our films.” He adds, “And those films were made pre-pandemic, there is a mindset that has changed post-pandemic. There is a viewing pattern that has changed. And those films were unfortunately victims of that change. Even when I was making War, there was a sense of parallel cinema is the new commercial cinema in 2018-2019. You had small independent films and big ideas doing much better than tentpole films till War happened. That time also I felt that – Oh my God, has the viewing pattern changed but War again proved if you make a good cinematic experience film for our masses people will come to theatres.” Siddharth has delivered the biggest hits of superstars Shah Rukh Khan & Hrithik Roshan in these high octane spy films. He says, “I’d like to believe is that I don’t differentiate between the class and the mass audience. I try and cater to both subconsciously – it’s not an effort. So, I try and get all the quadrants to enjoy my films. And if you do that – the results are there in Pathaan.” ALSO READ: Siddharth Anand claims Pathaan deleted scene might be featured in OTT version

She had said, ‘Coffee peene raat me aayie (Come over for a cup of coffee tonight)’. I thought that is something people prefer to have during the day, so I got the hint and refused.” He further mentioned that this is a common factor in the industry but he assured that it was his father’s teachings about hard work and sincerity that helped him to not fall prey to such ‘shortcuts’. He added, “Yeah, it happened and this is something that happens in the industry. But I somehow managed to escape. My father had taught me that I should approach my work with honesty, I never wanted to take a shortcut. I knew I was talented.” Making his debut with the Hindi film Pitambar in 1992, Ravi Kishan has made his name in the Bollywood industry with films like Army, Tere Naam, Luck, Marjaavaan, among others. The actor is a popular star in the Bhojpuri industry and has also marked his presence in Telugu Cinema with films like Kick 2 and Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy. The actor has also been a part of the television world and has featured in several reality shows including Bigg Boss and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.

Although she has not yet made her acting debut, there is speculation that she may follow in her parents' footsteps and enter the film industry in the future. Coming to professional front, Kajol was last seen in the family drama Salaam Venky, directed by Revathy.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas reveals she froze her eggs in early 30s’; says, “The biological clock is for real”

After becoming a global star, actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas last year became a mother. She and her husband Nick Jonas welcomed a baby girl via surrogacy after three years of marriage. Ever since Malti Marie Jonas’ birth, the actress has often been very vocal about embracing motherhood. Recently, speaking on the same note she revealed that she froze her eggs much before meeting Nick, at the suggestion of her mother Madhu Chopra.  It all happened during her interaction with Dax Shepherd. She asserted, “I always knew I wanted kids and that was one of the reasons I didn’t want to date Nick because I was like I don’t know if he would want kids at 25. I love kids, I have worked with kids at UNICEF, I have volunteered at kids’ hospitals, I am like a kid whisperer, and I would rather spend time with children than with adults.” PeeCee further added, “I felt such freedom, I did it in my early thirties and I could continue on an ambitious warpath, I wanted to achieve and I wanted to get to a certain place in my career. Also, I had not met the person with whom I wanted to have children. So, with that anxiety-inducing, and with my mom who is an ob-gyn (obstetrician-gynaecologist) going, ’36…just do it'.”  Explaining her take on the same, Desi Girl said, “My mom had said this to me and I did it for myself as well. I tell all my younger friends that the biological clock is real. It gets so much harder to get pregnant after 35 and to carry to term and all of that. Especially with women that have been working all their lives. But science is at such an amazing place right now where if you can afford it, I tell people you save money for a car, do it for this Christmas, this is the best gift you will give yourself because you are taking the power of your biological clock. You can work for however long, your eggs will be of the same age as when you froze them.” Also Read: Priyanka Chopra opens up on shifting to the west, “I was being pushed in a corner in the Bollywood industry”

Our children will learn to appreciate and respect that we go to work too.”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Dia Mirza Rekhi (@diamirzaofficial) The film Bheed, which debuted on Friday, featured Dia as Geetanjali, an affluent woman who is stranded on the motorway due to the pandemic-induced lockdown and unable to reach her child. Anubhav Sinha's black-and-white film centres on the difficulties that people encountered nationwide while the country was under lockdown because of the COVID outbreak.

Netflix gets legal notice over derogatory remark on Madhuri Dixit in The Big Bang Theory episode; action demanded to remove episode

Author and political analyst Mithun Vijay Kumar has sent a legal notice to Netflix asking the streaming giant to remove one of the episodes of its popular show The Big Bang Theory. In the first episode of season two, the character Raj Koothrapalli, played by Kunal Nayyar, uses derogatory remarks against Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit. In the legal notice, Mithun Vijay Kumar pointed out that the remarks made by Raj Koothrapalli are not only offensive but also defamatory. The notice states that such content can have a negative impact on society, particularly in perpetuating harmful stereotypes against women. He further states that the content promotes sexism and misogyny which is not acceptable in any form. The legal notice demands that Netflix remove the episode immediately and failure to do so would result in legal action for promoting discrimination against women. The legal notice has been sent to Netflix's office in Mumbai. If Netflix fails to respond or does not comply with the demands made in the legal notice, Mithun Vijay Kumar has stated that he will take further legal action against the streaming giant. On Twitter, he wrote, “Recently, I came across an episode of the show Big Bang Theory on Netflix where Kunal Nayyar's character uses an offensive and derogatory term to refer to the legendary Bollywood actress @MadhuriDixit. As a fan of Madhuri Dixit since childhood, I was deeply disturbed by the dialogue. I found it highly derogatory and offensive towards Indian culture and women. So I asked my lawyer to send a legal notice to Netflix, requesting that they remove the episode from their platform. It's important to hold media companies accountable for the content they distribute, and I hope that @NetflixIndia will take this matter seriously.” Recently, I came across an episode of the show Big Bang Theory on Netflix where Kunal Nayyar's character uses an offensive and derogatory term to refer to the legendary Bollywood actress @MadhuriDixit.

I strongly believe that streaming service providers have a responsibility to carefully curate the content that they offer on their platforms. It is their duty to ensure that the material they present does not include derogatory, offensive, or defamatory content. I was deeply troubled by the use of a derogatory term in one of the shows on Netflix - Big Bang Theory. This term was used in reference to the acclaimed actress Madhuri Dixit, and it was not only offensive and deeply hurtful but also showed a lack of regard for her dignity. I strongly believe that streaming service providers must take such issues seriously and act quickly to address any instances of offensive or defamatory content. Furthermore, streaming service providers should be proactive in preventing such content from being streamed. This can be achieved through clear guidelines and rigorous screening processes for all the content published. Ultimately, streaming services have a significant influence over the content that is consumed by millions of individuals, and with this influence comes a responsibility to ensure that the content they offer is respectful, inclusive, and free from harmful stereotypes. I hope that this incident will serve as a wake-up call to all streaming services providers to work towards creating a more equitable and respectful media landscape.” The Big Bang Theory, which was created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, premiered in 2007 and ran for 12 seasons. It ended in 2019. ALSO READ: Snehalata Dixit, mother of Madhuri Dixit passed away today

Zeenat Aman opens up on brand collaborations; says, “I do not think I will share more than three or four, clearly labelled, collaborative posts a month”

Veteran Bollywood actress Zeenat Aman has received and continues to receive immense love on Instagram as unlike other celebrities, she has a different approach to this platform. She recently shared her views on brand collaborations. Zeenat recently took to Instagram and posted a picture of hers walking on the streets of London in a long black coat. Sharing the picture, she wrote, “Oxford Street has changed over the last 45 years, but not nearly as much as I have. I’m in London for a brief visit, and it’s been such fun to show the boys my old haunts. Between personal visits and film shoots, the city was a second home of sorts for many years.” Recollecting the old times, she wrote, “In my twenties I would make a beeline to this street to browse the aisles of Selfridges. I loved their summer fashions, none of which were available in India at the time. So when I found an outfit I liked, I’d buy it in multiple colours! Once my shopping bags were in hand, it would be time for further retail therapy at Harrods.” Sharing her views on collaborations, she said, “Since I’m on the subject of shopping, I have to say that I’ve noticed that many Instagram profiles are more akin to advertising billboards than blogs! It’s a bit of a pity, but it has helped me decide my own approach to this app. Though collaboration requests are pouring in, I’m determined to broach these with caution. I do not think I will share more than three or four, clearly labelled, collaborative posts a month, and I will most definitely not copy-paste captions. I have grown to be possessive of this space we are creating and want to retain its integrity. Both for myself and for those who follow my page.” “The weather here is quintessentially grey, but my spirits are high. I send each of you my gratitude and warm wishes. Though I am unable to reply personally, I do read the wonderful comments, messages and suggestions that you leave for me,” she concluded.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Zeenat Aman (@thezeenataman) Fans were quick to share their views in the comments section. Reacting to the post a fan wrote, “Your page is becoming my regular source of goodness. It makes me want to pause and admire the world. It’s a destination of sanity and beauty in a world going insane and dull. Thank you. Love and light,” another user commented, “Don't remember when was the last time I took time to read captions under someone's Instagram post. With you the day I saw you here on Instagram, I knew it's going to be an exquisite read.” Zeenat Aman is an Indian actress and a former model. The Evil Within (1970), starring Dev Anand, marked the former beauty queen's acting debut. She has acted in films like Yaadon Ki Baarat, Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Qurbani, Dharam Veer, Hare Rama Hare Krishna, Insaaf Ka Tarazu among others.

Sara Ali Khan speaks on Janhvi Kapoor’s ‘I don’t get respect’ remark; says, “Maybe as an actor one still has to prove themselves”

Ever since Sara Ali Khan and Jahnvi Kapoor appeared on the popular chat show Koffee with Karan together, their friendship has been the subject of admiration among fans. In fact, other than the chat show, the duo has often spoken about each other in interviews. However, this time, it seems there is a difference of opinion among the star kids over Kapoor’s “I don’t get respect” remark. For the unversed, Janhvi Kapoor had earlier said, “I believe I have more to offer and I want to prove to myself that I can take up new challenges and emerge from it. Somewhere it comes down to the line that ‘Mujhe mauke bohot mile hai, par izzat abhi tak nahi mila (I have got a lot of opportunities, but I am yet to earn the respect)’ and I think that’s what I am working for, in my own eyes. It takes a lot to build the perception and then break it,” during her interaction with Barkha Dutt at the We The Women event. Coming back to Sara, she was recently asked to share her point of view on the same on Siddharth Kanan’s podcast. In her response, the Simmba actress asserted, “I don’t feel under-respected at all. I think I have been given a lot of respect. I think for me, if you accept me for who I am, that’s the biggest sign of respect and touchwood, I got that very early in my career. I think from the very beginning I got respect.” Explaining her take further, the 27-year-old actress added, “Maybe what Janhvi could have meant, maybe as an actor one still has to prove themselves. But even then, whether it’s Kedarnath or Atrangi [Re], I read the reviews I was given. I don’t think respect has been a problem for me.” Meanwhile, on the professional front, Sara is currently busy with promoting her next release Gaslight, whereas Janhvi will be next seen in Mr & Mrs Mahi. On the other hand, she will also make her debut in the Telugu film industry with NTR 30. Also Read: Sara Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor shoot for a project together: ‘Wait and watch us’

Many actresses in the past have opened up about the life of a working woman and the challenges of balancing work and motherhood. Kareena Kapoor Khan is one such actress, who has not only changed the way the world perceive married actresses but she has also proved that motherhood doesn’t impact the success of a female actor either. Balancing the role of a mother and a female star of the tinseltown, Kareena has always maintained that her love for acting has remained the same over the years and how her husband Saif Ali Khan has remained supportive throughout this journey. In a recent interview, she also opened up about a subject that is rarely discussed – the ‘working mom guilt’. In an interview with The Quint, Kareena Kapoor Khan was seen discussing her journey as an actress which also included her challenges of balancing work and motherhood. The actress discussed that she loves to juggle the real and reel life roles together, adding, “It’s fun, I love it. I don’t know what life is like without my children, my family, and my husband. That is the most important thing of my life. At the same time, I must do things that I enjoy which is working, being on the movie set and acting.” She further went on to reveal about the working mom guilt. For the unversed, the working mom guilt is a concept where women often feel like they are missing out on their child’s growth and development, and guilt themselves into believing that they prioritize work over their child. Talking about it, Kareena added, "We always try to not have that guilt, but I think it'll always creep in. Each person deals with it differently. Each mother deals with it differently. So, I can't sit here and give tips. I don't even like the idea of giving tips to any mother because everybody’s journey is different." On the work front, Kareena Kapoor Khan will be making her OTT debut this year with the Sujoy Ghosh directorial, an untitled adaptation of the Japanese novel, Devotion of Suspect X. The actress will also be seen as the protagonist in the upcoming Hansal Mehta directorial, followed by The Crew, co-starring Tabu and Kriti Sanon.
