No Problem
Streaming on: Eros Now
Director: Anees Bazmee
The comedy caper is a multi-starrer featuring Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, Paresh Rawal, Sunil Shetty, Sushmita Sen, Kangana Ranaut, Neetu Chandra and Shakti Kapoor. But, none of them could do anything to save this absurd and barely funny film.
Aarya
Streaming on: Disney Plus Hotstar
Director: Ram Madhvani, Sandeep Modi, Vinod Rawat
Sushmita Sen made her debut on the digital platform with Aarya. In her review of the web series, Indian Express’ Shubhra Gupta wrote, “Fashioned as a crime thriller with a strong emotional core, Aarya sets up quite a pace. It moves swiftly, and that is its best quality because while the solidly written plot, detailed characters and smooth storytelling are all to the good, there are also the dips, contrived scenes, and loose ends, which we don’t quite have the time to dwell on. By the time we notice a flat register, we are already on to the next thing.”
