Actor Kay Kay Menon, who is all set for the release of his upcoming sports drama film ‘Love All’, said that there are no visual effects in the badminton scenes of the movie, and one will feel that they are watching an international match. The actor was in the national capital for the promotion of his movie. He was seen wearing a blue shirt, beige pants, and paired it with blue tinted sunglasses. He completed the look with black and white sneakers. Kay Kay was accompanied by the director Sudhanshu Sharma.
Talking to media persons, Kay Kay said: “This is a story of a father and son, and a middle class family. The story focuses on badminton, which has been presented in a very reliable manner.

Amongst the many societal tragedies left behind as a residue of the British Raj in India is the tradition of prostitution prevalent in the Banchhada tribe found in Madhya Pradesh. “Highway Night” is a hopeful take on the disturbing reality that hardly ever finds its prominence in the burning issues.
“A real-life incident on the dhaba (refreshment shacks along the highway) inspired me to make a film on this issue”, reflects Singh. “Highway Night is a film with an important message, and I hope it reaches a wider audience with the theatrical, digital and television broadcast all over the world,” said the national award-winning filmmaker-actor Prakash Jha in an interview.
Jha plays the role of an overworked, underpaid but relentless truck driver who encounters a spritely young girl played by Mazel Vyas, on one of his transportation routes. She develops an intuitive trust in his fatherly demeanour. What transpires is a heart-warming story of kindness,...

Ginny, Sunny and their not so funny misadventure of love sets you wondering within 10 minutes of the start: Why was this film made in the first case? The question plays in your mind on the loop all through the runtime that follows. By the end of it, you realise this was a couple of hours ill-spent.

It's all very formula-bound and, like the tired remix of a past-expiry-date Mika song in the film, absolutely unnecessary.
Billed as rom-com with very little ‘rom' and almost no ‘com', Puneet Khanna's debut directorial effort runs low on entertainment quotient right from the start, doing gross disservice to a cast that impressively manages to rise above the unimaginative writing. You feel bad for Yami Gautam and Vikrant Massey, as well as the half dozen-odd prop actors who eagerly try living...
