#RomilAndJugal(Hindi/WebSeries/Streamingfrom16thApril2017) Rating: * * ? An enjoyable gay romcom, this one takes the filmy route to showcase it’s so called difference. It’s not different by any yardstick but it certainly gets a little bold and makes the most of an uncensored medium. The actors are likeable and the production values look decent. #NupurAsthana #ALTBalaji #CommuniquePR #ManrajSingh #RaenaParikh #RajeevSiddhartha #SuchitraPillai #ManiniMishra #MandiraBedi #VritikaRamnani #ShrishtiHarsh #KennyDesai #Bhuvneshwar #Mudita #Divina #EktaKapoor #DevDD #KenGhosh #SubhashChandraBose #HansalMehta #RajkumarRao Runtime:10 episodes .
#MumbaiVaranasiExpress(Hindi/ShortFilm) Rating: * * In search of a meaningful life following a diagnosis of terminal cancer, the protagonist Businessman who neglected his health all along for material pursuits finds himself seeking moksh in Varanasi Benaras, Mukti Dham but fate demands another direction. This film is a lot similar to #SubhashishBhutiani’s award winning #MuktiBhawan even though it takes tricky unsatisfactory ending. Regular production values allow for a decent engagement. #RisingPhoenix #AartiChabria #SabinaPR #DarshanJariwala #ShekarShukla #VivekSingh #ResulPookutty #RoyalStagBarrelSelectLargeShortFilms Runtime: 31 mins
