Why I Won't Be Reviewing Dil Bechara | Sushant Singh Rajput | Anupama Chopra

 The truth is for me, there is no way to doan unbiased review of Dil Bechara. I found it hard even to watchthe trailer of the film. It dropped on July 6th, around three weeks afterSushant Singh Rajput’s death on June 14th. It was difficult to see him play a jovial cancer patient,laughing, dancing and wooing his co-star.

 His dialogue, "Janam kab lena hai,aur marna kab hai, hum decide nahi kar sakte... par kaise jeena hai,woh hum decide kar sakte hain" it took on a whole new meaning. Every frame reminded me, of what was lostand what could have been. Sushant was that rare thing –a strong actor with star presence and this was apparent from his first film Kai Po Che! I loved his performance inShuddh Desi Romance.

 I wrote in my review that his character,“the irresistibly goofy Raghu” is “easily the most charming guide in Hindi cinema,since Dev Anand’s Raju in Guide”. I was one of the few fans ofDetective Byomkesh Bakshy. His work in MS Dhoni: The Untold Storyand Sonchiriya was terrific. Even in uneven films like Kedarnath, he held his own.

 I didn’t know Sushant well,but I interviewed him several times over the years, the last being for the promotionsof Chhichhore in September. He was smart, candidand always ready to experiment. In December 2016, he featuredon our first FC Unfiltered. We recorded the showwith students at Jai Hind College. In 2017, we shot a show in which he tried to explainhis enigmatic tweets and Instagram posts.

 This wasn’t to promote a film,or to talk about his journey. He took out time only to tryand explain how he thinks. Sushant’s death is a loss for Hindi cinema. The circus which has followedhis passing is equally sad.

 Instead of respectful introspectionand trying to figure out how we can all do better, what is mostly on display is rank opportunism. The possibility of real change has been hijackedby personal agendas and settling scores.

 It’s ugly and utterly graceless. In such a vitiated atmosphere, it’s impossible for me to see Dil Bechara in isolationand gauge it on its own merits. I have no wish to contribute further to the noise. I wish director Mukesh Chhabraand his team all best for their film. I hope the troubled journey of Dil Becharafinds a happy ending. And Sushant, wherever he is,finds a semblance of serenity.

How To Grew Blog Traffic by 76% Through One Simple Tool

I've got a pretty cool SEO hack for you today that will boost your rankings and organic traffic with very little effort.

This strategy is so effective it will massively increase your traffic.

How To Get Organic Traffice on Your Blog | Uber Suggest

As you can see from the image above it generated me 76% more traffic.

So, what is it?

Google prefers up to date, in-depth and accurate content. However, if you're only publishing new content, your old content can become irrelevant and receive less and less traffic over time.

You may have already noticed that some of your older pages used to get much more traffic than they do now. Or that you keep writing content and your traffic barely goes up.

So how do you revive your old content and get even more traffic than you used to have?

I'm going to show the strategy I use on my older content. It's so effective, I have 3 full-time people that just do this for me.

Let's get started...

Step #1 - Look at one of your older pieces of content. What’s the main keyword you are targeting with that page?

Step #2 - Once you have the keyword, head over to Ubersuggest and type in the keyword and hit "search".

Step #3 - On the left-hand navigation click on "keyword ideas".

How To Get Organic Traffice on Your Blog | Uber Suggest

This will take you to a report that looks something like this...

How To Get Organic Traffice on Your Blog | Uber Suggest

Now I want you to click on the "related" tab as this will show you a really big list of keywords related to the one you just typed in.

Step #4 - It's time to find more keywords that you can easily rank for. So click on "filters".

You'll see a ton of fields that are empty. In the SEO difficulty box, put a max value of 40 and then hit apply.

How To Get Organic Traffice on Your Blog | Uber Suggest

Your results will be updated and will look something like this.

How To Get Organic Traffice on Your Blog | Uber Suggest

This will show you all of the keywords that have an SEO difficulty of 40 or less.

What that means is these keywords are easier to rank for on Google. SEO difficulty is a score from 1 to 100. The higher the number the harder it is to rank for on Google. The lower the number, the easier it is to rank for.

As you keep scrolling more keywords will load... sometimes as you scroll it takes a few seconds for more keywords to appear as some reports literally have over a million results.

Step #5 - I want you to go through the list of keywords and integrate them into your old page.

Now, don't just stuff in these keywords into the page. Update the page by making it more valuable for your visitors. And if any of these keywords fit in nicely, add them. But again, don't stuff them in, the last thing you want to hurt the user experience.

Step #6 - It's time to rinse and repeat with all of your older pages. As you do this you'll get more and more traffic over time.

As a goal, I want you to do this with 3 pages a week. After a month or two you'll see more traffic. After 6 months you'll really see your traffic grow.

Bonus tip - On the keywords ideas report, you’ll also notice a CPC column.

How To Get Organic Traffice on Your Blog | Uber Suggest

This stands for cost per click. This is roughly how much it costs to buy this keyword through a paid ad.

Now, of course, you are trying to rank organically and not pay for the keyword, but the general rule of thumb is that you want to rank for keywords in the organic results that cost more. Because those keywords tend to generate more leads and sales

Shakuntala Devi Full Movie Review and Storyline

 Shakuntala Devi is the biopic of a woman without limits. The real life Shakuntala was a math wizard,who was famously known as the human computer.

Her name was in the Guinness Book of World Records.

 She was also a globe-trotting stage performer,an in-demand astrologer, a best-selling book author, who wrote one of the earliest records, of what it means to be gay in Indiaand an aspiring politician who stood for elections.

 This was a woman fueled by ambition and dynamism,who refused to be curtailed by societal norms. In the film, she says, "Jab amazing ho sakti hoon, toh normal kyun banu"? But genius comes at a price.

Shakuntala’s marriage fell apartand her relationship with her daughter was so strained, that at one point, she filed a criminal case against her.

 There is enough material here for a franchise – I think her book called The World of Homosexuals, in which she made a case for gay rights in the 1970s,could be a film in itself. Such a rich and varied life can be daunting for any storyteller.

Director Anu Menonand co-screenplay writer Nayanika Mahtani, make the unwise decisionof trying to squeeze all of it in. The result is an uneven film,in which we get a frantically busy plot, but not enough dramatic thrust.

 The narrative hopscotches acrossdecades, milestones, cities. The screenplay alternates between Shakuntala’s journeyand her daughter Anupama’s life. The first hour plays like a highlights reel.

 We see Shakuntala rise to fameand riches with numbers floating, like in A Beautiful Mind,each time she does a calculation. But we get little sense of her inner life,her moments of loneliness or doubt.

 What was it like to be born with such an exceptional gift,to have numbers reveal themselves to you, so that you could give the 23rd rootof a 201- digit number in 50 seconds.

And surely it couldn’t have been easyfor an Indian woman in the 1950s, to make a name for herself in London.

 The film glosses over isolation, racism and sexism. Before you know it, Shakuntala is living the good life.

 Shakuntala Devi gathers emotional momentumin the second hour when the film focuses on thefraught relationship between her and Anupama and the parallels in their lives.

 Shakuntala, who started performing from the age of 6, resented her parents for making her a show ponyand the sole earning member of the family. But as she grows older,she comes to understand their compulsions.

 Anupama undertakes the same journeyof reconciliation with her mother. The film is positioned as“a true story as seen through the eyes of a daughter.” The real-life Anupama and her husband,are the first people thanked in the opening credits.

 This relationship provides the spine of the film. Because we see the chinksin Shakuntala’s formidable armor. She is impulsive, insecure, selfish, even arrogant. And it is in these moments,that we are drawn into her life.

 Vidya Balan does a splendid job of embodyingthis walking contradiction of a woman. She captures Shakuntala’s ability to command any roomshe enters, but Vidya also, with empathy, finds her flaws.

 Her and the lovely Sanya Malhotra,flesh out this thorny relationship, even when the writing is working against them. In a pivotal scene, Shakuntala and Anupamaare being affectionate toward each other.

 The onlookers, all men, look them, shake their head'sand say: Mothers and daughters. It’s clumsily staged and yet somehow,the performers make it work. The film’s glossy aesthetic also contributesto making the story less affecting.

 The camerawork, production design, costumesand make up is all so varnished, that the complexities and challenges of Shakuntala Devi’s life,are inadvertently smoothened out.

 In any case, the screenplay isn’t interestedin detailed exploration – In one scene, after solving a tough motherhoodversus career problem within minutes, Shakuntala herself remarks:"Itni jaldi problem solve hogayi.

 Maine toh socha tha bade pathaake chalenge". But these fireworks never come. And some of the most dramatic moments of her life, like finding out that her ex-husband is gay,are discreetly tiptoed around.

 Menon and the writers work hard to createcompelling portrait of a woman whose very existence defied patriarchy – even her sari and braids playeda key role in breaking stereotypes.

 But the film fails to fully examine the tension betweenthe clarity that Shakuntala Devi found in math and the messiness of her life.

 In a 1996 interview in Hong Kong, Shakuntala Devi said:"Nobody challenges me. I challenge myself". I wish her biopic had that samenote of defiance and daring. You can see Shakuntala Devi on Amazon Prime.

Khuda Haafiz Full Movie Review and Storyline

 When you watch a Vidyut Jammwal film, the firstquestion is: When does the fighting start? For almost a decade now,

Vidyut who is famous for doing his own stunts and whose skills include theancient martial art Kalaripayattu,has been decimating bad guys onscreen with finesse.


His films, like the Commando franchise,position him as a one-man army, who pummels, slices, kicks and pirouettes. Nothing can stand in the way of the Jammwal offensive.

 In Commando 3, he saved India,while keeping his manbun in place. In Khuda Haafiz, writer-director Faruk Kabir tries toexpand the Vidyut Jammwal repertoire.

the film has been inspired by a true incidentand the fighting doesn’t begin until around minute 56. Until then, Khuda Haafiz establishesthe love story between Vidyut, playing a Lucknow-based software engineer Sameerand his newly wed wife, Nargis.

 It’s a Hindu-Muslim arranged marriage,but Faruk doesn’t explore this intriguing premise further. The couple is grappling with more practical realities,like a global recession.

 It’s 2008. After losing their jobs, both apply to companies in thefictional Middle-Eastern country of Noman. Nargis leaves first, but disappears from the airport. A distraught Sameer follows to unravelthe mystery of his missing wife.

 The set-up isn’t new. The missing wife has been atrope in cinema for decades. In fact, Roman Polanski’s 1988 film Frantic,had a similar situation of a man, Dr.

 Richard Walker played by Harrison Ford,searching for his wife in a foreign country, France, where language becomes a stumbling block. 20 years later, Liam Neeson was also looking for hismissing daughter in Paris in the blockbuster Taken.

 Faruk tries to build authenticity and suspense byhaving characters speak extensively in Arabic, only some of which is translated for the audience.

The idea, the director has said, is for viewers to experience the same sense offrustration and desperation that Sameer does.

 Which might be good in theory, but in practice,it stalls the movement and makes the film dreary. Annu Kapoor, playing Usman, an impossibly helpfultaxi driver, livens up the frame momentarily.

 Usman speaks Hindi, which makesSameer’s and our lives a little easier. But the screenplay isn’t tight enough to createthe sense of urgency, that Sameer feels.

 The plot plods along for almost an hour,until the first action set-piece arrives. I got happier when Vidyut clenched his fists. The action, choreographed by Ivanov Victorand Andreas Nguyen, is raw and furious.

 The first few minutes are stagedin this long narrow corridor, while Sameer is sort of plunging this knife,into all these men who are trying to hold him.

 Bones break with a crunching sound andone man’s jaw is split apart by the edge of a wall. It’s not an easy watch. Once the fighting begins,the visuals get more grotesque, at one point, Sameer is having a conversation with a man,who has this fork and a knife sticking out of his body.

 It’s both brutal and unintentionally comical. Khuda Haafiz has been extensively shot in Uzbekistan. Faruk and DoP Jitan Harmeet Singhmake good use of the landscapes – from the singular architecture and sand-colored homes,to the barren highways.

 At one point, we get a Mad Max-style chase,with swirling clouds of dust. For a change, Vidyut is playing a savior,who isn’t in superman mode. Sameer gets hurt and bleeds.He faints and even sheds tears. The story requires Vidyut to deliver a range of emotions.

 He pushes himself, but is still most convincing,when he is inflicting pain. Shivaleeka Oberoi, who plays Nargis, has little to do,except first be childlike and naïve and then wait to be saved. Faruk works hard to infuse agritty realism into the narrative, but ultimately Khuda Haafiz falls intothat same sort of silly territory, that Vidyut Jammwal action movies often do. Logic exits the frame.

 The villains become more outlandish. Nargis, despite her ordeal, continues tolook surprisingly fresh-faced and healthy. Indian actors like Shiv Panditt and Aahana Kumra,playing Noman locals with clumsy accents doesn’t help. Neither does the stilted dialogue –at one point, Usman tells Sameer: "Tum jisko karz kehte ho, Pathan usey farz maanta hai". Usman of course, is the latest, in the long line ofcourageous and loyal Pathans in Hindi cinema, going back to the iconic Sher Khanin Prakash Mehra’s Zanjeer.

 Khuda Haafiz wants to be both – an emotional love storyand an unflinching action drama, but it falls somewhere in between. You can watch the film on Disney+Hotstar.
