O’Romeo Review: A musical, bloody piece of art

Romeo rings in your ears as you walk inside the theatre—Shakespeare again—your head plays the infamous Kill Bill whistle, you mumble: O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?—Romeo chimes in with his boat, strumming his guitar, with jasmine wrapped around his wrist, receives a call to go on a killing spree.

Unusually, you relish it while v | Click Here...

Toxic, Dhurandhar 2, King, O’Romeo – Bollywood gets set for its testosterone-driven, expletives-aided, blood-ridden macho sagas

Bollywood is going through a massive change and really, one couldn’t quite see it coming. Post pandemic, KGF: Chapter 2 was the most bloody affair and even its 400 Crore Club success in Hindi didn’t quite prepare one for what lay ahead. I believe what really set the tone post that for a much wider phenomenon that also got accepted by the audience in a big way was Animal. There was masochism, blood and testosterone all over the narrative of the Sandeep Reddy Vanga - Ranbir Kapoor film. How did audiences react? Well, they made it the first ever A rated film to not just enter the 500 Crore | Click Here...
