Diljit Dosanjh's 'Detective Sherdil' movie review: Boman Irani, Ratna Pathak Shah, Banita Sandhu walk away with top honours in a semi-engaging murder mystery
Unlike 'Housefull 5 (A and B)' and '36 China Town', the final twist doesn't feel frivolous. It not only compliments the essence of the story but also exposes the fragility of dysfunctional relationships read more Cast: Diljit Dosanjh, Diana Penty, Boman Irani, Chunky Panday, Banita Sandhu, Ratna Pathak Shah, Sumeet Vyas Director: Ravi Chhabriya Language: Hindi Even before we meet the man who plays Detective Sherdil, in this year's 786th whodunit, a word I shall be using 786 times more before the year ends, we are told how this man played by Diljit Dosanjh was named Sherdil. It's understandable the makers want to combine crime and comedy and dumb the story down. The thought of the memories of Dosanjh's Arjun Patiala coming back send a shiver down your spine. But to give credit, at least the aesthetics are in place as we are right away taken to Budapest where a billionaire Boman Irani is murdered on an empty street. What it also gets right is a solid introductory shot of Ratna Pathak Shah, who plays Irani's wife. If Maya Sarabhai from Sarabhai vs Sarabhai had more attitude and authority, it could be this character. 'A true boss lady' is how Diana Penty describes her. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Some cringe and coincidental moments follow soon as Banita Sandhu of October fame shows up as a deaf and mute daughter of the couple who's called, errr Shanti. There's the severely underinvested Mukesh Bhat (the inimitable actor of Rocket Singh and Gulaal), the driver who's absconding since his master was brutally assassinated (Prem Ratan Dhan Payo anyone?). When all the crucial pieces of the puzzle are laid together, the eponymous character declares in his twang 'This is a classic…. Whodunit.' Okay then! But this very character never allows the film to be edge-of-the-seat as he keeps playing his harmonica and its perpetual tune hams its way to the background score that swells to a crescendo on multiple occasions. Let there be silence for some time dude. If this blend of two contrasting genres is unable to keep the curiosity alive despite some spurts of engagement, Chunky Panday's typically filmy entry does perk up the proceedings from A to B. Had he smiled a little more, he could very well be the spiritual version of Aakhri Pasta called Aakhri Aastha as he did in Housefull 3. Bollywood doesn't do comical thrillers well as it gets too confused which box to tick first- To add murder mystery in a comedy or comedy in a murder mystery. That's why the jokes and the jolts both feel ill-timed and misplaced. And that pretentious The End deceit that ruined Neeraj Pandey's forgettable Sikandar Ka Muqaddar last year returns here too. But the ensemble is too contagious- Diljit Dosanjh, Boman Irani, Ratna Pathak Shah, Sumeet Vyas, Banita Sandhu, and Diana Penty. The outfits that Irani flaunts are absolutely striking. He looks dapper and the effective baritone adds to his intimidating personality that's all worn out and vulnerable inside. Penty brings a certain sense of gravitas to her performance with her no-nonsense attitude. She has been immensely selective about her choices of films after the impressive debut in Cocktail back in 2012. But that also shows how her repertoire is a cocktail of different genres, ranging from comedy to drama to now a whodunnit. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Sandhu added immense gravitas to her vegetative state in the meditative and heartfelt October. Here too, she's handicapped by a disability but makes terrific use of it. And the refined Shah is always a delight to watch. She has a remarkably impressive command over her body language. And once again after Kapoor & Sons, she's trapped in a crumbling marriage that ends with a surprising death. The story is written by Ali Abbas Zafar along with Sagar Bajaj and Ravi Chhabriya who also directs the film. Post Sultan, Zafar has largely been out of depth except for Jogi, also starring Diljit Dosanjh. It's understandable the two wanted to have fun after an exhausting and emotionally charged collaboration, but the bullet misses the plate. That's not to say it's a washout. Not at all. Whodunnits always turn out to be guilty pleasures. And unlike Housefull 5 (A and B) and 36 China Town, the final twist doesn't feel frivolous. It not only compliments the essence of the story but also exposes the fragility of dysfunctional relationships and dying emotional dynamics. It also makes up for the lost time of an ensemble of solid actors that needs to be seen more often in movies that judiciously explore its tenacity and talent. But without the harmonica next time please! STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Rating: 3 (out of 5 stars) Detective Sherdil is now streaming on Zee5

Neil Nitin Mukesh makes SHOCING revelations about the industry, says,' I was told my career was over after…'
Neil Nitin Mukesh makes SHOCING revelations about the industry, says,' I was told my career was over after…' In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, the career trajectory of an actor depends on many factors. While some feel that it's the actor's luck, others feel it is also bias and favoritism that may make or break an actor's career. The dazzling industry is unfair and doesn't work the same way for everyone. While one actor would keep getting new projects even after delivering back-to-back flops. Another actor may not be given enough chances after failing at the box office once or twice. Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh recently addressed this issue in an interview and spoke about the favoritism that prevails in the industry. Neil Nitin Mukesh is a celebrated actor who made his debut in 2007 with Sriram Raghavan's film Johnny Gaddar. The thriller hit gold at the box office, and Neil, with his strong performance, quickly captivated everyone's attention. Another film that rose him to fame was Kabir Khan's New York. The film also featured John and Katrina Kaif in the lead. Besides this, Neil has also appeared with Salman Khan in Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, which is also critically and commercially acclaimed. However, besides delivering some superhits, he doesn't feel that he has been given the right opportunities that other actors get, even after delivering multiple flops. Recently, in an interview, Neil openly shared that the industry's parameter of judging an actor's success is solely based on box office numbers. However, he is of the view that if an actor is playing a significant role but isn't in the lead, they will often be overshadowed. 'If I'm a part of a successful film, I deserve to be seen as part of that success. But the credit always goes to someone else,' he said. However, he also emphasises the double standards when it comes to films not making numbers at the box office. 'If a film doesn't do well, the blame falls on everyone involved, especially the actors. But when it succeeds, only a select few are celebrated,' he said. Speaking about the superhit success of New York, he emphasised that it wasn't just a John Abraham or Katrina Kaif film, it was a collective effort involving actors like Irrfan Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Speaking of bias, he also said. 'Many actors give back-to-back flops and still get handed Rs 100 crore films for a comeback. But if two of my films don't work, people tell me to sit at home. They say my career is over. That's not fair,' Neil's remarks on industry reality talk about the harsh truth behind the dazzling world of Bollywood.

‘Stars get 11th Rs 100 crore budget film even after 10 flops,' says Neil Nitin Mukesh: ‘We are told your career is over after two flops'
Neil Nitin Mukesh started his career in the movies in 2007 with Sriram Raghavan's Johnny Gaddaar. Shortly after that, Neil appeared in some promising roles, most notably in Kabir Khan's New York, but in many of his interviews, Neil has expressed his displeasure about not being offered the right kind of opportunities. In a recent interview, Neil shared that in the case of many popular actors, they are presented many opportunities despite a dozen flops, but in his case, he was told his 'career is over' after just a couple of his films underperformed at the box office. In a chat on Varinder Chawla's YouTube channel, Neil shared that people in the industry evaluate an actor based on their box office success, and ignore the appreciation that their work gets. He also pointed out that even if an actor plays a significant role in a big budget film that is led by a star, the success of that film doesn't really help them. Neil's biggest success was Salman Khan-starrer Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, directed by Sooraj Barjatya. 'Unfortunately, if you are a part of a big film and you are playing a significant part of that film… consider me a part of that success as well. But you will give the credit to someone else. If this film had flopped then it would be a fall for everyone involved. That's unfair,' he said. Neil Nitin Mukesh shared that one of his early successes, New York, starred John Abraham, Katrina Kaif and himself but the film didn't just belong to the three leads, it was a team effort. 'Like New York, it's not just John or mine or Katrina's film. It just doesn't belong to Kabir Khan, it's a collaborative effort. Everyone has put in hard work. All the actors, Irrfan Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, it belongs to everyone. The producers, their conviction in us, it's a hit for everyone but if it's a flop, or it doesn't reach the numbers, the blame cones straight to the actors,' he said. ALSO READ | Hina Khan's husband asks Sri Sri Ravi Shankar about turning vegetarian, wonders if he has eaten chicken: 'Tandoori chicken is true love' He then said that many actors have the liberty to give 10 flops, and are still given their 11th film with Rs 100 crore budget. 'I have seen a lot of big actors giving flops but they keep getting opportunities. But for us, if there are two flops in a row, they say you be at home now. This is the only unfair bit. Didn't he just give 10 flops? You have given him his 11th Rs 100 crore film to make a comeback but here, two films falter and you say career over. What do you mean career is over? Even if the films didn't do well, and you were praised for your work, people are ready to write you off almost instantly and they get pleasure out of this,' he said. Akshay Kumar has been stuck in a flop spree for a couple of years now. He has had more flops in a row than hits. Neil Nitin Mukesh, who is the grandson of singer Mukesh and the son of Nitin Mukesh, was last seen in the JioHotstar series Hai Junoon.
