It’s not less than magic on screen when the two versatile actors from different generations come together on screen. The love-hate relationship between Bankey and Mirza is totally unmissable. With battlelines drawn, who’s side are you on?

Ayushmann and Jitendra played two same-sex lovers, who face opposition from Jeetu’s family and try their level best to convince them of their relationship.

Thappad : Directed by Anubhav Sinha, Thappad stars Taapsee Pannu in the lead role. The film narrates the story of Amrita (Taapsee), whose world comes crumbling down when her fiercely ambitious husband, Vikram (Pavail Gulati), slaps her at a party that was supposed to celebrate his success in the corporate world. A happily married Amrita, whose life revolved around taking care of Vikram and his family, ends up taking a stand against the public humiliation going on to seek and eventually get a divorce. The social drama started a conversation about the ingrained misogyny and brings to light the years of conditioning that a woman is subjected to by her own family and the society that she lives in.
