Bobby Deol, a star of the 90s and 2000s, gradually vanished from mainstream cinema. It was quite a surprise when I learned about his unexpected stint as a DJ, coinciding with the emergence of 'Lord Bobby' memes online. His return was on web series, but it was in the film 'Animal', directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga (known for 'Kabir Singh' and 'Arjun Reddy'), where I saw him again on the big screen. In 'Animal', Bobby plays a pivotal character, whose presence is felt only after a key moment in the plot. His entry is striking, marked by a background song that caught my attention. Even as I was engrossed in the film's progression, the song stayed with me, and it quickly gained popularity online as 'Jamal Jamaloo', topping YouTube searches. Bobby's screen presence in those moments, and throughout the movie, was undeniably captivating. His performance required a wide range of expressions, adding depth to his character. Alongside him, Saurabh Sachdeva, known for his roles in 'Sacred Games' and 'Jaane Jaan', delivers a commendable performance, complementing Bobby's character with a similar screen time. Saurabh's talent deserves its own recognition. I hope Bobby Deol continues to land such intense and impactful roles, showcasing his ability to command the screen. Meanwhile, enjoy this song even if you don't watch the movie.

Rockstar has crossed all the boundaries of telling how a love story is told, especially to the Indian audiences. We are so pampered with the usual ways of watching movies, and we know come what may, the end has to be a "Happy Ending". I have been observing this trend since sometime, with movies like Anusha Rizvi's "Peepli Live", Kiran Rao's "Dhobi Ghat", Anurag Kashyap's "That Girl in Yellow Boots", these movies have delivered something that Indian audiences will take time to adopt to. I termed the movie "dhobi ghat" as an "art film". It took a lot of time for me to understand what the stories wanted to say. It certainly is a new step into film making, someth...
