THE ZOYA FACTOR(2019) - HINDI


THE ZOYA FACTOR(2019) – HINDI

    CAST: DULQUER SALMAAN , SONAM KAPOOR

    DIRECTOR: ABHISHEK SHARMA

    HELLO READERS!

Books being made into movies is not a new thing at least in Bollywood. Some end up being great while some end up being disasters mainly because of the changed story line or the extended choice of creative freedom that is given to the makers. This is such a film.

The Zoya factor is based on a novel of the same name written by Anuja Chauhan. The plot is kind of basic yet unique. Zoya Solanki , who was born on the day when India lifted its first ever cricket world cup is considered lucky for cricket by her cricket obsessed dad. But her life is a complete mess. It literally sucks. She has hard times at work , failed relationships and a lot of fuss to handle. She then goes to shoot an ad for the Indian cricket team and there she has her breakfast with the team and after that they magically win matches. This is not acceptable to the team captain Nikhil Khoda who believes in hard work and not in luck. After that , Zoya is worshipped by the audience and she faces a lot of trouble and how she manages all that mess and brings her life back to order forms the plot of the story.

Let us talk about the pros first because the cons are just too many to write about. If there is one common opinion that all the audience share , then it is this that Dulquer Salmaan literally stole the show. The film should actually be titled as the DQ factor. He was just so brilliant. He looked fittest than ever before and he was so real and charismatic. The funky and comical one liners in the middle were a relief. Now apart from these things, there’s nothing to appreciate.

Talking about Sonam Kapoor , she was so stupid and non sensical. She really was!. When the hell will she learn to act?. She spoiled all the scenes which Dulquer tried too hard to save. Had the film been a little shorter , maybe it would’ve done better. The other actors were good. They delivered just what was asked for and no one were brilliant except Dulquer.

The love track of Nikhil and Zoya was off. Just completely off. I mean , why would a sensible and intelligent man like Nikhil fall in love with a dumbass girl like Zoya?. Their chemistry was inorganic and clearly Dulquer was uncomfortable and the stretched watch time of the movie made in worse. I do not mean that it’s a horrible film. No it was certainly not but it had the potential of being a good film if Sonam was replaced by someone who can act better.

Anyways we cannot help a few things and stop them from happening , can we?

There are many films which showed addiction and abuse of alcohol and drugs in different ways and in most of them , it’s always been this way- the protagonist stops doing all that he has done before at once like someone has cast a spell on him and its practically impossible for that to happen. The realistic approach to such topics is not very well appreciated by the audience as well. Today we will talk about a film that was everything else but unreal. Beautiful boy is based on the memoirs of father and son David sheff and Nic sheff. Nic lives with David who has separated from ...

KOODE(2018) - MALAYALAM

CAST: PRITVIRAJ , NAZRIYA , PARVATHY;   DIRECTOR: ANJALI MENON   HELLO READERS!

Later on , he finds Jenny(or maybe her soul) in a truck that was formerly her ambulance. Only he and Jenny’s dog could see and feel her presence in the entire family.
