Films that prove India-Pakistan is a love-hate story: Bajrangi Bhaijaan to Sam Bahadur
In the coming weeks, Salakaar and Saare Jahaan Se Accha, both based on India's war against Pakistan over nuclear power, are set to release on OTT. Despite being stories about power struggles, both series promise moments where things turn complex for those involved. Stills from Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Sam Bahadur Over the years, there have been several Hindi films that have already explored the love-hate relationship between the two countries. Vicky Kaushal's Sam Bahadur, even won a National Film Award recently. Another, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, is getting a sequel. All of these movies, available for streaming on OTTplay Premium, portray the complex relationship between the people of the two countries. Some of them, based during the Partition, could also move you. Hindi movies that explored the love-hate relationship between India and Pakistan Gadar Although based in times of the partition, Gadar is literally Ek Prem Katha (a love story). This is the tale of Tara Singh from India (played by Sunny Deol) and his lover Sakeena from Pakistan (played by Ameesha Patel). It narrates the lengths to which he goes to protect her during the partition period. Bajrangi Bhaijaan Salman Khan plays the role of Bajrangi, a devout Hindu, but finds himself protecting a little girl from Pakistan. Harshaali Malhotra's Munni aka Shahida plays that very role of a mute girl. The way the film comes together has been peak cinema for many. Sam Bahadur Director Meghna Gulzar's Sam Bahadur, featuring Vicky Kaushal in the lead role, has a segment in which the respected officer has an interaction with his former colleague who is now with Pakistan. In this segment, we learn about how Sam Manekshaw was offered to join the Pakistani army but refused to do so and continued serving for the Indian military, thus helping the country win many wars over the years. Neerja Based on true events, Neerja tells the story of an airhostess and her courageous act during a hijack. She helped all passengers on board, irrespective of their nationalities, to exit the plane, at the cost of her own life. Her story serves as an inspiration. Sarbjit Sarbjit narrates the tale of a man who accidentally crosses the border in a drunken state. It is the fight to free him from the neighbouring country as he gets accused of being a spy. There is a sense of victory amid the long trial in the film, even if the happiness doesn't last long.

Ameesha Patel Takes A Dig At Ahaan Panday's Saiyaara? Says 'Tab Organic Hit Hote The...'
Ameesha Patel stated that it is not right for people to compare "cult films" to the ones which are being released now. Looks like Ameesha Patel has taken a dig at the success of Ahaan Panday's debut movie Saiyaara. The film, which was released on July 18, has earned over Rs 270 crores at the box office as of now and is being compared to Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, which starred Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel. Recently, Ameesha Patel was snapped by the paparazzi in Mumbai when she claimed that films today do not enjoy 'organic" success. Even though the actress did not name Saiyaara, she stated that it is not right for people to compare 'cult films" to the ones which are being released now. 'It is wrong to compare cult films with the kind of films that are being made today. We used to have organic hits. Raj-Simran, Rohit-Sonia, Tara-Sakeena; people remember the names of these characters. Hits were not due to social media hype back then. Now, people are going to theatres because social media is creating a hype. PRs are working. People go to theatres but after two weeks, everything just stops," she said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by (@tellychakkar) This comes days after, during an 'Ask Me Anything' session on X (formerly Twitter), Ameesha was asked about Ahaan's comparisons to Hrithik. The actress stated that she hasn't watched Saiyaara yet and seemingly mocked Ahaan by saying 'baap toh baap hota hai". 'I haven't seen the film but I wish them luck. Ahaan as per is v promising actor .. but baap tho baap hai and beta tho beta hi hoga. Dugu is a WAR ahead from most of the stars … 🤣," she wrote. Meanwhile, talking about Saiyaara, the film revolves around Krish Kapoor, an aspiring singer, and Vaani Batra, a budding journalist. As their love blossoms, they find themselves up against numerous odds. Set to a soundtrack that's already winning hearts, the film blends romance, ambition, and emotional drama. The film has been getting an overwhelming response. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

‘Kingdom' movie review: Vijay Deverakonda ‘almost' returns to form in an ‘almost' watchable action-drama
Unlike Sunny Deol in Gadar 2 or Shah Rukh Khan in Pathaan, you may not be able to call this as a great comeback, but the hunger to attack a meaty character to flesh out all the juiciness seems to have returned read more Cast: Vijay Devarakonda, Satya Dev, Bhagyashrii Borse & Manish Chaudhary Director: Gowtam Tinnanuri Language: Telugu Actor Vijay Devarakonda has had quite a lull at the movies off late. His anger, rage, fury, and those patented and petrifying gazes became repetitive. All of these show up in his new film Kingdom as well, but with a story that feels far more coherent and captivating. It's impossible for brooding central characters not to be heavily bearded. If you need to show your hero is in deep agony, don't make him shave. That also shows up in Kingdom, but again, the semi-engaging narrative exists to take care of the cliches. The leading man has dual characters to play. His boss is the always watchable Manish Chaudhari, whose memorably toxic character in Rocket Singh made me aghast at the idea of stepping into an office and reporting to a manager. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD A mission that obviously won't be revealed here, Deverakonda has to go undercover. The film has been written and directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, the man behind Nani's immensely moving sports drama Jersey. The filmmaker has taken the grandeur miles ahead for his new film since he has given Kingdom the treatment of a high-octane spy thriller. The visuals are flawed but fascinating. The VFX and CGI-coded landscapes do at times act as a deterrence, but the central character's journey kind of cruises along smoothly to make you overlook the flaws. The one thing that's now getting tiresome is to see the leading man's supposedly intimidating empty glares at his leading ladies. And of course, grabbing them by their collars. Vijay did that with Ananya Panday in Liger, and he does that here with Bhagyashri Borse. But this time, the angst feels more personal. Kingdom has a tinge of Yash Chopra's Deewar when two brothers reunite only to find them on the opposite side of law. They are the two sides of the same coin that barely see eye to eye. The film has also been planned as a duology so there will be a lot of unanswered questions by the end of the film. Even the action scenes are different from the kind of stunts you are seeing in most of the movies today. The number of bullet shots easily overpowers the Animals and KGFs. Deverakonda lets his fists and guns do the talking. Even if you see the trailer of Kingdom, it's Manish Chaudhari's character doing most of the talking and dialoguebaazi. The leading man has only one line where he says he says with all his deadpan fury- Aag Laga doonga. This leading man has two different characters to portray, and as stated above, he has looked and performed much better in this movie. Unlike Sunny Deol in Gadar 2 or Shah Rukh Khan in Pathaan or even Salman Khan in Dabangg, you may not be able to call this as a great comeback, but the hunger and hunt to attack a meaty character to flesh out all the juiciness seems to have returned. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Rating: 2.5 (out of 5 stars) Kingdom is now playing in cinemas
