Babli Bouncer(Disney+Hotstar)
Starring Tamannaah Bhatia,Saurav Shukla, Abhishek Bajaj
Directed by Madhur Bhandarkar
Although Madhur Bhandarkar’ s Babli Bouncer is not as probing and revealing about the world of club bouncers as Chandni Bar was about bar girls, and although it is not as good as Bhandarkar’s Fashion or Page 3, it is still superior to the director’s recent films, and a lot better than some of the crap that hit theatres and Ott this week.
Tamannaah Bhatia in the title role is the narrative’s mainstay, though to say that she is the only reason to watch the film is a bit of an exaggeration. Though the writing could have been a lot sharper, I nonetheless found the plot to be taut and fraught with grit and guts. It is always a pleasure to visit films that show women invading what is traditionally the main domain,...

Actor Vivaan Shah says playing a scrap dealer in the film "Kabaad: The Coin" helped him know the hardships that scrap dealers as a community face in life, even as they keep the city clean.
"We see kabaadiwalas (scrap dealers) and those who collect garbage from our homes and offices every day, but we do not take a moment to pause and think about their lives. It is their relentless efforts that keep our city clean, but they live in extreme poverty and hardship," said Vivaan.
"Playing a kabaadiwala actually made me more compassionate towards them. There are people who earn less money but still have respect in society. We do not give any respect or financial support to these garbage and scrap collectors. Imagine, if they stopped collecting garbage and waste, we would almost live in a garbage yard! But do we even say 'thank you' when they collect the trash from our homes?...
