EXCLUSIVE: Sara Ali Khan and the allure of semi-smokey eye look; Make-up artist Adrian Jacobs delves into the steps to achieve it

In the world of Bollywood, where glamour and beauty are paramount, one name sticks out as the magician responsible for many of the top actresses' appearances. The well-known makeup artist Adrian Jacobs has made a name for himself. Among the several celebrities he has worked with Sara Ali Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Kriti Sanon are just a handful that trusted him with their beauty transformations. The striking recent appearance Adrian created for Sara Ali Khan at the 69th Filmfare Awards was one of his most memorable moments. Sara, who is well-known for her vivacious attitude, looked amazing as she sauntered down the red carpet.

Adrian Jacobs shared unique details about the makeup look that night that had everyone talking with Bollywood Hungama. The magic begins with Sara's eyes. Adrian delved into the specifics of the eye makeup, emphasizing the significance of selecting the right color palette.

Adrian Jacobs reveals that the inspiration behind Sara Ali Khan's Filmfare eye makeup was to strike a balance between the classic and the contemporary. He explains, "We have done kind of a golden eye that meets semi-smokey eye. semi-smokey eye means I tick smudged the eyeliner and got it out, so it’s not a very classic look; it's more like a semi-grunge look. Which is cool, modern, Indian and chic at the same time.”

Highlighting the collaborative effort behind the scenes, Adrian Jacobs sheds light on the discussion he had with Sara Ali Khan about the look. "While discussing the look with Sara, we met somewhere in between," he reveals. This midpoint led to the incorporation of pale shimmered eye-shadow to contour the corners of the eyes, widening them subtly.

The key to achieving the desired semi-grunge look lay in Jacobs' use of Faces Coal Pencil, a smudge pencil in black. "I smudged that on the liner area and smudged it completely out," says Jacobs. The untidy elegance of the look was maintained by using a soft brush typically reserved for powders, rather than a precise liner brush. The technique involved smudging the pencil through the eye socket, creating an effortlessly chic and slightly dishevelled finish.

Adrian Jacobs adds another layer of complexity to Sara's gaze by detailing the waterline. "For the waterline, we did the same formula – smudged it down with black and then used a soft brown on the same area," Jacobs reveals. This meticulous technique creates depth, definition, and a sultry allure that perfectly complements the overall aesthetic.

Moving from the eyes to the face, Jacobs unveils the secrets behind Sara's flawless complexion. "Face is dewy, so we used a lot of moisturizer and less foundation from Armani," he discloses. The artist's signature touch involves mixing a drop of foundation with two drops of moisturizer, creating a radiant and natural finish. The strategic contouring adds shading that enhances Sara's features, especially her cheekbones, creating a face that appears thinner and more sculpted in photographs.

Jacobs goes on to explain the importance of contouring, noting that its intensity depends on the hairstyle. "She had her hair tied fully up, so it also depends on the hairstyle. If the hair is fully up, make sure you contour; if it’s not, contour is not necessary," he advises. The artist skilfully executes a stunning amount of contouring, elaborating on cheekbones and shaping the face to perfection.

The final strokes of brilliance come with the lips. Jacobs reveals his choice of Bobbi Brown's true pink, paired with a lip plumper that not only enhances the volume but also provides a burst of vibrant visibility. The result is a lip that complements the overall look, adding a touch of sophistication and completing the masterpiece that is Sara Ali Khan at the Filmfare awards.

Mannara Chopra opens up about the support she received from her cousin Priyanka Chopra Jonas for Bigg Boss 17; reveals they wanted to send her ‘cash’ as a gift

Mannara Chopra, who has maintained time and again that she doesn’t like to use the ‘Chopra’ name for her fame, retained a similar rule in the Bigg Boss 17 house. She had insisted that the contestants directed any comments towards her without dragging her family, especially her cousin and global superstar Priyanka Chopra Jonas. Meanwhile, during several moments which she encountered in the BB house, she was seen receiving support from Dr. Madhu Chopra and the latter’s daughter Priyanka too.

Recently opening up about a conversation that Mannara Chopra had with Priyanka Chopra Jonas about her stint in the Bigg Boss 17 house, the actress told the media, Priyanka told me, ‘Mujhe saari jagah tere hee tags aate jaa rahe the. Mujhe tera saara journey pata hai.’ Yeh telecast America mein nahi ho raha tha. Usne kaha pehle apna gala thik kar. Kyunki waha itna baat karna padhta hai. (I seem to be receiving a lot of tags of your name on my social media. I know your entire journey even though the show doesn’t get telecasted in America. She told me to take care of my throat because I had to speak a lot in the house).”

Continuing further, Mannara added, “But she gave me a lot of good tips also. She said, ‘I am so proud of you ke tuney family ke naam pe game nahi khela. Tuney bola mere baarein mein baat karo.’ Maine bola, Haan didi. Thora mujhe awkward lag raha tha ghar ke andar family ke baare. Then she asked me, ‘Ab tereko gift kya chahiye? Hum tereko cash bhej rahe hai.’ I said nahi, mujhe dresses chahiye, kapde. (you didn’t use the family name to play the game. You said if you want to speak about me, then it should be only be me. I agreed with her and also told her I felt awkward to talk about our family inside the house. She also asked me if I wanted any gift. She wanted to send cash but I said no. I told her I need clothes) So many interviews, so many events. Then she said, ‘Promise, hum kapde bhejenge (we will send clothes).’ Now I am waiting for the clothes and I’ll rock!”

In the past, Priyanka Chopra Jonas had taken to her Instagram story and had come out in support of her cousin Mannara during the show. On the other hand, her mother Dr. Madhu Chopra too had voiced out her concern when several female contestants on the show had ganged up against the South actress and were seen having a showdown with her.

Khichdi 2 starring Supriya Pathak set for digital premiere on ZEE5 on February 9, 2024

ZEE5 announced the world digital premiere of the much-awaited comedy-drama, Khichdi 2: Mission Paanthukistan. Khichdi 2, the follow-up to Khichdi: The Movie (2010) stars Supriya Pathak Kapur, Rajeev Mehta, Anang Desai, Vandana Pathak, Jamnadas Majethia, Kirti Kulhari, Anant Vidhaat Sharma, Reyaansh Vir Chaddha, Flora Saini in prominent roles along with surprise cameos by Farah Khan and Pratik Gandhi. The movie is set to premiere on ZEE5 on 9th February 2024.

In the sequel, the Parekh family goes on an adventure to save the world with Praful playing a double role and also serving as an emperor of a fictional country Paanthukistan. The absurdity, the gags and the silliness return as the Parekh family’s adventure transcends various landscapes – cities, beaches, snow-clad mountains, deserts, and caves. The film promises an uproarious adventure as the Parekh family stumbles upon a royal revelation that catapults them into a whirlwind of comedic chaos.

Producer Jamnadas Majethia further said, “For more than two decades, the Khichdi franchise has been a source of laughter for audiences, creating a nostalgic connection with them. Even after more than a decade since our last film, the excitement has been still buzzing with constant inquiries about the return of Khichdi! It has a robust bond with its fans, and with the World Digital Premiere of Khichdi 2 on ZEE5, we are thrilled that this enduring comedy franchise will continue to not only expand its family but also cross international borders.”

Writer and director Aatish Kapadia said, “Fans eagerly awaited the return of Khichdi, and with this new offering, we're bringing back the unmatched craziness of the Khichdi family through their comedic escapades in Paanthukistan. The franchise holds a special place in our hearts, and through this sequel, we aim to amplify the laughter, craziness, and quintessential humour that fans love. Working with this exceptional cast has been an absolute joy and returning with them after so many years felt like home. I believe our collaborative efforts will bring forth a memorable chapter in the Khichdi legacy.”

Supriya Pathak, the vivacious Hansa, joyfully said, "Bringing Hansa back in Khichdi 2: Mission Paanthukistan has been an absolute delight. The laughter, camaraderie, and sheer absurdity of the character never fail to bring a smile to my face. Hansa as a character has resonated so well across all age groups and it has been the most gratifying role of my life. This new instalment guarantees another laughter-filled rollercoaster ride and what better platform than ZEE5 for a homegrown show like Khichdi”.

Created by Jamnadas Majethia and Aatish Kapadia's Hats Off Productions, Khichdi first premiered as a TV series in 2002 on Star Plus. The second season, titled Instant Khichdi, aired in 2004 on Star One. The show was made into a movie in 2010.

Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone starrer Fighter falls prey to piracy; full movie gets leaked on torrents

According to recent reports, Fighter, which has been garnering rave reviews across, has become a victim of piracy. The film, which brings together Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone for the first time on the big screen, reportedly is based on the life of Indian Air Force officers. Inspired by real life events, the Siddharth Anand directorial is heavy on aerial action and VFX, as well as it is expected to be a one-of-a-kind film which has now been leaked online.

The full movie, reportedly, is available on torrents and other websites which is expected to have released on these platforms on Day 1 of its release, that is, on January 25. From what we hear, the movie, which has been leaked, is even in high-quality HD format and it is being said that this incident can have a heavy impact on its box office collections.

Earlier in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Siddharth Anand had described the challenges he faced when he was thinking of making Fighter. He revealed that he had no background in armed forces and had sought the help of former Air Force officers to pen down this script. The director also faced many difficulties in creating aerial action sequences and he had said, “It was very challenging because it was like keeping a fish out of water. I had no idea how this is done. I just knew what I wanted to do. The how of it was a big journey. It was a journey of two years of prep, planning and extreme research, then getting the air force on board, getting them to allow us to use their airbases, choppers by giving them over 2000 storyboards, showing them how we were going to do our real and believable scenes and we can execute them. It’s been a very long process, which makes War and Pathaan look like very simple films.”

Apart from Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone playing Air Force officers, Fighter also stars Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, Akshay Oberoi, Sanjeeda Sheikh, among others in key roles.

SCOOP: Varun Dhawan’s next with Atlee titled Baby John

Varun Dhawan had an eventful 2023 as his film Bawaal was adjudged as the most-watched OTT flick last year. Atlee, meanwhile, also rocked the show in 2023 with the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan. It was the biggest hit of the year across all languages. This year, both have joined hands for an interesting action entertainer, which also marks Atlee’s first film as a producer. All this while, the film was addressed as VD18, its working title, and as per reports, the film has got a title.

If reports are to be believed, the actioner will be called Baby John. Yesterday, the makers of the film got the Censor Certificate for its teaser from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). That’s when the word spread about its quirky and unique title. Reports also state that Baby John’s teaser will be unveiled in a few days, most probably on Saturday, January 27.

Apart from Varun Dhawan, Baby John also stars Keerthy Suresh, Wamiqa Gabbi and Jackie Shroff. It is directed by Kalees and is backed by Atlee and Priya Atlee’s A For Apple Studios, Murad Khetani’s Cine1 Studios and Jyoti Deshpande of Jio Studios. It is the remake of Atlee’s 2016 directorial Theri, starring Vijay, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Amy Jackson.

The film went on floors in August last year in Mumbai, followed by an extensive schedule in Kochi. As per reports, Varun suffered an injury in the Mumbai schedule. The casting is significant as Varun will be seen in an out-and-out massy action role for the first time. Meanwhile, Keerthy Suresh is a popular name even for Hindi-speaking markets and this marks her debut Bollywood film. Wamiqa Gabbi, on the other hand, went on a high in 2023 with the success of her web show Jubilee and her web film, Khufiya.

It now remains to be seen when Baby John will be released in cinemas and whether the release date will be unveiled in the teaser.

Manoj Bajpayee throws cold water on The Family Man-Farzi crossover: “I don't think Raj and DK would want to mix it”

Fans hoping for a crossover between two of Raj and DK's popular series, The Family Man and Farzi, might have to adjust their expectations. In a recent interview, the lead actor of The Family Man, Manoj Bajpayee, poured cold water on the idea of the two universes merging.

Following the release of Farzi, starring Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupathi, viewers were quick to spot potential connections to The Family Man, leading to speculation about a shared universe. However, Bajpayee, who plays Srikant Tiwari in the espionage thriller, expressed his doubts in a conversation with Lallantop.

"I don't think this will happen," stated Bajpayee. "Right now, we have a commitment to complete the four seasons of The Family Man. But I don't think these universes will be merged because The Family Man itself is a very big universe. I don't think Raj and DK and Amazon would want to mix it with something else."

Fuelling the crossover buzz were Easter eggs in Farzi, such as a cameo by The Family Man's Chellam sir and a phone conversation with a character named "Tiwari," speculated to be a reference to Srikant Tiwari. However, Bajpayee's comments suggest creators might be focusing on building their worlds for now.

The third season of The Family Man is still awaiting its filming schedule.

Speaking of the professional front, Manoj is currently bagging praises for his performance in Netflix’s latest series, Killer Soup. Besides this, he is also hosting the third instalment of the Secret franchise. The docu-series, Secrets of the Buddha Relics, is already available on Discovery+ and will premiere on Discovery Channel on February 26.

Bigg Boss 17: Vicky Jain gets eliminated; Ankita Lokhande breaks down over her husband’s exit

Bigg Boss 17, which made news this year for marital conflicts, love triangle, and fake relationships, is nearing its finale. Just a day ago, we had reported that after the six finalists were selected for the show, housemaster is all set to play his ace card by voting out another contestant, using his rule of favouritism which was an integral concept in this season. Using the same, it was Vicky Jain, whose conflicts with wife Ankita Lokhande dominated the news, who got eliminated from the house.

Abhishek Kumar, Mannara Chopra, and Munawar Faruqui became the first three contestants to reach the finale whereas Arun Mashetty, Ankita Lokhande, and Vicky Jain were asked to pick chits wherein one of them had ‘evicted’ written on it. Followed by the decision Ankita broke down. The actress was seen crying and expressing her angst as she refused to let her husband go. She said, “Mere liye tu hi winner hai. Tu bahot accha khela. Mujhe farak nahi parta tujhe votes kam aye. Meri nazar me tu winner hai mera kyuki tune sanch me bohot acha khela, bohot mehnat se khela. Tu yaha bina kisi platform ke aya. Tune jo bana hai yaha ake bana hai. (For me, you’re the winner. You played really well. I don’t care if you have got less votes. You came here without any support. Whatever you made, you made it here) I am proud to be your wife. Main Vicky Jain ki biwi hoon. Please mat jao mai nahi reh paungi. (Now I can say, I am Vicky Jain’s wife. Please don’t got, I won’t be able to live).”

#VickyJain Came to the show as Ankita's husband leaving the show as Vicky Bhaiya ????

Rohit Shetty reveals ‘breaking bones’ runs in his family; recalls his mother playing body-double to Hema Malini and Vyjayantimala

Being one of the most renowned filmmakers, it is a known fact that Rohit Shetty has had a long-standing connection with the film industry since his childhood. The superstar-filmmaker’s parents were stunt artists and recently the actor recalled how his connection with action is something that he has had since his childhood. He also revealed how his father M.B. Shetty sustained injuries as a stuntman and recalled his mother Ratna Shetty playing body-double to yesteryear stars like Hema Malini and Vyjayantimala.

Recently, in an interview with ANI, Rohit Shetty confessed that breaking bones is a kind of family business when he opened up about his parents’ journey as stunt artists in the film industry. He said, “He directed the action sequences in Deewar, Yaadon Ki Baraat, Great Gambler, Don, An Evening in Paris, and Trishul. He invented the glass break. He got lots of cuts. He used to come home with blood stains and stitches.”

He further went on to add, how his mother used to play body doubles to some of the most popular actresses. In fact, he revealed that she was Hema Malini’s body double in her iconic drama Seetha Aur Geetha. “My mom was a stuntwoman. She did Seeta Aur Geeta. The Hema Malini you see on the fan is actually my mom.” She added, “The Vyjayantimala rolling down the staircase—it’s her; her physique was such.”

He finally added how breaking bones is a part of the family and concluded, “That’s why I am like this. It is a family business that breaks bones. It is in our DNA to break our own bones.”

Rohit Shetty was recently seen promoting yet another addition to his ambitious copverse, the web-show Indian Police Force starring Sidharth Malhotra, Shilpa Shetty, and Vivek Oberoi.

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan teaser: Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s MASSIEST film to date; grand action and ‘Hindustan’ dialogue will generate mass HYSTERIA in cinemas

Both Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff had an underwhelming 2022 and 2023. But looks like they’ll have a rocking 2024 if the teaser of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan is anything to go by. The 1 minute 41-second-long promo packs in a lot and yet, keeps a lot of aspects of the film under wraps.

The first half of the teaser introduces the menacing villain, played by Prithviraj Sukumaran. Interestingly, his face isn’t shown and his voice and actions do the talking. The antagonist has an AI connection and that adds to the madness. And then our heroes are introduced and that takes the teaser to another level.

Both Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff are bona fide action stars. Hence, it looks quite convincing to see them doing death-defying stunts. Both also mouth a massy dialogue involving ‘Hindustan’. In cinemas, it’ll be greeted with claps and whistles for sure. In fact, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan seems to be their massiest film to date.

The credit for this slick Bade Miyan Chote Miyan teaser should also go to the makers. Director Ali Abbas Zafar deserves brownie points as he proves that he’s one of the best directors today when it comes to action films. There’s no doubt that he knows the genre well and his sharp talent is visible from start to finish. No wonder that until one point, he was the only filmmaker, besides Rajkumar Hirani, to have had two Rs. 300 crore grossers in his filmography. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan can be his third giant success, provided the content clicks.

Lastly, the producers Vashu Bhagnani and Jackky Bhagnani, too, deserve credit. They have mounted the film on a huge scale. They have gone all out to ensure the audience gets to see a grand action entertainer on the big screen. Technically, too, the film looks rich. Be it cinematography, VFX, production design or VFX, everything seems top-class.

Bade Miyan Chote Miyan releases on Eid 2024. Here’s hoping the songs and trailer also land well. Once that happens, nothing can stop this action entertainer from taking a huge start and emerging as Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff’s highest-ever opener.

Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series and Murad Khetani’s Cine1 Studios settle Animal profit sharing dispute out of court: Reports

Amid the feud between Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series and Murad Khetani’s Cine1 Studios related to profit sharing of Ranbir Kapoor starrer Animal, now, it is reported that the studios have settled out of court. For unversed, Cine1 was upset with T-Series for not following their agreement regarding the movie Animal. T-Series argued that Cine1 had already given up their rights in a 2022 agreement. The case was taken to court which may have affected the film's release on a digital platform, Netflix India.

As reported by Bar N Bench on Monday, January 22, the lawyers representing both studios informed the Delhi High Court that “they have reached an agreement to resolve their issues. This means a settlement has been officially signed and will be presented to the court for approval.” With the settlement in place, the hurdles for Animal arriving on OTT have been removed.

On Monday, Justice Sanjeev Narula acknowledged the agreement between the studios and instructed both parties “to officially document the agreement. The court will review and address the matter on January 24, with the expectation of bringing it to a conclusion at that time.”

As per an earlier report in ANI, Cine1 accused T-Series of breaking their contract, claiming that the latter did not consult them for promotions like teasers, credits, marketing, and disclosing final costs. The studio also alleged that T-Series didn't share details about agreements with Netflix India and Sony Pictures Networks India.

T-Series, represented by Senior Advocate Amit Sibal, responded, claiming that in an August 2022 amendment agreement, Cine1 gave up all rights to the movie for Rs 2.6 crores.

The court, led by Justice Sanjeev Narula, accepted the case and summoned both parties. They were asked to submit written statements and affidavits, after which, the case was set to proceed with evidence marking on March 15 with additional arguments scheduled for January 22.

BREAKING: CBFC censors ‘sexually suggested visuals’ in Hrithik Roshan-Deepika Padukone starrer Fighter

The first big release of the year, Fighter, is all set to release this week and the excitement is tremendous. The advance booking opened on Friday night and the ticket sales till now have been encouraging. Meanwhile, the censor process of the Hrithik Roshan-Deepika Padukone starrer was completed on time before release. Bollywood Hungama, in this exclusive article, brings to you the list of cuts faced by this aerial action thriller.

As per the cut list, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) asked for four modifications in the film. Firstly, the anti-smoking static message was asked to be mentioned in Hindi. Secondly, an abusive word was muted or replaced in two dialogues, one at 53 minutes and the other at 1 hour and 18 minutes. Thirdly, ‘sexually suggested visuals’ were removed. These 8 seconds of visuals were probably replaced by ‘suitable shots’. Lastly, 25 seconds of the audio in a TV news visual scene was removed and replaced with 23 seconds of audio.

After these changes were carried out, a U/A certificate was granted to the makers of Fighter on Friday, January 19. The length of the film, as mentioned on the censor certificate, is 166 minutes. In other words, the run time of Fighter is 2 hours and 46 minutes. Fighter releases in cinemas worldwide on January 25.

Interestingly, this is the second consecutive film of actor Deepika Padukone and director Siddharth Anand which faced cuts from the CBFC over hot scenes. Their last film together, Pathaan, was passed by the CBFC only after the close-up shot of buttocks, 'side pose (partial nudity)' shots and visuals of sensuous dance movements during the lyrics 'Bahut tang kiya' in the song ‘Besharam Rang’ were removed or curtailed and replaced with 'suitable shots'. Even then, Bollywood Hungama was the first one to break the story and it was one of the biggest viral news of the year 2023.

Fashion Face Off: Samantha Ruth Prabhu or Amy Jackson, who wore the red Krésha Bajaj pre-stitched saree with side slit better

In the glamorous world of celebrity fashion, it's not uncommon for A-listers to cross paths in more ways than one. One fascinating phenomenon that captures the attention of fashion enthusiasts worldwide is the moment when two celebrities are spotted wearing the same outfit. it becomes a delightful spectacle for fans and fashion enthusiasts. Recently, the spotlight turned to the stunning actresses Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Amy Jackson, who were spotted in the same outfit, proving that great style knows no boundaries.

SAMANTHA RUTH PRABHU

Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently made the elegant decision to choose a vibrant red saree, which was made by her very creative best friend, Krésha Bajaj. The fully embroidered bodice of the pre-stitched modern saree had a distinctive mesh-laden, oh-so-sultry neckline with long sleeves. Flowery and glittery embroidery was used to make the lovely ensemble. All the focus was drawn to the thigh-high side slit, though. Additionally, the gifted Kushi actor chose to accessorise her colourful attire with delicate diamond stud earrings by going the minimalist approach. Along with her well-groomed eyebrows, she went for a modest yet elegant make-up look, adding light eyeshadow, blush to her cheeks, highlighter strategically placed, and a hint of red lipstick to her lips. She seems even more beautiful in this outfit. Her face was wonderfully framed by her softly curled hair, on the other hand.

AMY JACKSON

Amy Jackson recently donned the identical vivid red saree designed by fashion designer Krésha Bajaj, which is shimmering and glittering. This stylish pre-stitched saree was adorned with intricate embroidery and threadwork inspired by flowers and nature. A silky netted high neckline and back neck blouse gave the lovely combination extra sultriness. The costume was raised above all others by the side slit. In addition, the gifted Robot 2.0 actor opted to accessorise her ultra-chic attire with standout accessories. The diva did this with dangling and layered diamond earrings with a matching ring. She also chose to go for a beyond-sexy makeup look with well-shaped eyebrows, pink eyeshadow, and black eyeliner on fleek. The well-contoured look also had subtly blushed cheeks, highlighter at all the right places, and glossy light red colored lip oil. On the other hand, her hair was styled into a sleek bun that made sure her sincerely beautiful face was visible. We are obsessed with the diva’s overall look.

Web Series Review: Indian Police Force

INDIAN POLICE FORCE is the story of cops hunting down a terrorist. On Delhi Police Raising Day, the National Capital is rocked by a series of blasts. Kabir Malik (Sidharth Malhotra), Vikram Bakshi (Vivek Oberoi), Rana (Nikitin Dheer) and others of Special Police Unit of Delhi Police are given the charge of the case. They are joined by Tara Shetty (Shilpa Shetty Kundra), Gujarat ATS chief. The mastermind they are trying to find is none other than Zarar aka Haider (Mayyank Taandon). He’s living as a paying guest at the house of a mechanic Saeed (Lalit Parimoo), who’s also a terrorist. Saeed’s mother and daughter Nafeesa (Vaidehi Parshurami) have no idea about their involvement. Nafeesa assumes Zarar is a perfume seller and falls in love with him. Zarar, meanwhile, is planning his next operation and getting the handlers out of Delhi. When one of the handlers calls home, Kabir’s team finds out their location. They attack the safe house. All the handlers die, except one but Zarar escapes. Meanwhile, Kabir’s team loses a brave police officer. Kabir is transferred. Zarar, on the other hand, reaches Jaipur to execute another round of terror attack. What happens next forms the rest of the series.

Sandeep Saket and Anusha Nandkumar’s story is well-researched. Sandeep Saket and Anusha Nandkumar’s screenplay, too, is interesting. A few scenes stand out, more so for the action. Sandeep Saket, Anusha Nandkumar, Ayush Trivedi, Vidhi Ghodgaonkar and Sanchit Bedre’s dialogues are normal but a few of them are sharp.

Rohit Shetty and Sushwanth Prakash’s direction is decent. The directors have tried their best to enhance the mass quotient and even scale of the show. All the locations are depicted in a grand fashion as if this is a big-screen film. They ensure that the viewers are interested and invested in the cat and mouse chase between the cops and the dreaded terrorist spanning several cities. A few scenes stand out like Vikram taking a live bomb in his hand, the madness at Firoza Nagar, Jaideep Bansal (Mukesh Rishi) advising Kabir and Vikram to break the rules, the death of a cop, the police getting into a fight with Goldie Rodrigues (Sunil Rodrigues) and his men in Goa etc. The last two episodes are the best of the lot.

On the flipside, the series doesn’t present anything that we have not seen before in a Rohit Shetty venture. There are no twists and turns or cameo appearances from any character of the cop universe. The action scenes also give a been-there-done-that feeling. Moreover, the principal characters don’t have particularly entertaining characteristics.

Sidharth Malhotra looks convincing as an action hero. Vivek Oberoi looks dashing and does well. Sadly, his screen time is limited. Shilpa Shetty Kundra, too, has less screen time but she compensates for it with her acts and stunts. Mayyank Taandon is fine as the antagonist. Vaidehi Parshurami is the best performer of the show. Her character is well-written, and she does justice to it. Shruti Panwar (Unaiza) leaves a mark. Mukesh Rishi, Niktin Dheer, Lalit Parimoo, Rituraj Singh (Rafeeq), Karanvir Malhotra (Sikku), Rakshit Wahi (Moin) and Purnendu Bhattacharya (Home Minister) lend able support. Isha Talwar (Rashmi) is lovely in a cameo. Shweta Tiwari (Shruti) is great in the breakdown scene but is forgotten after a point. Mrinal Kulkarni (Ruksana; Kabir’s mother) is strictly okay. Mohak Meet (Shadab), Sunil Rodrigues, Akashdeep Sabir (Mudassar; Zarar’s father), Deepak Qazir (Khan Sahab) and Harsh Sharma (Salamat) are fair in small roles. Sharad Kelkar (Jagtap) is apt.

There are 3 songs in the film. The ‘IPF Theme’ is very catchy. ‘Bairiya Re’ and ‘Koi Aayat’ are forgettable but are shot nicely by Sneha Shetty Kohli. Amar Mohile’s background score tries to enhance the tension and mass appeal.

Girish Kant and Raza Hussain Mehta’s cinematography is spectacular. The aerial shots give a nice touch. Swapnil Bhalerao and Madhur Madhavan’s production design is appropriate. Navin Shetty, Mehek Navin Shetty and Laxman Gollar’s costumes are realistic and also appealing. Sunil Rodrigues’ action and Rohit Shetty’s action design are devoid of gore and blood. NY VFXWaala’s VFX is average. Bunty Nagi’s editing is pacy.

On the whole, INDIAN POLICE FORCE has the trademark Rohit Shetty stamp all over. Due to the abundance of action and association of Rohit Shetty, it is bound to garner a huge viewership.

Rating: 3.5 stars
