Lately, there have been rumours circulating on the internet that actor Vivian Dsena, who secretly married his girlfriend, Nouran Aly a year ago, is now a father to a two-month-old baby girl.

During the interaction, he told the portal, “Yes, I am married and have a four-month-old daughter. What’s the big deal about it, and how is this anyone’s concern? We would have announced the news of my marriage and the arrival of my daughter, but when I thought the time was right. I tied the knot with Nouran in an intimate ceremony in Egypt around a year ago.” Dsena further added, “Becoming a father is a dream come true and the most wonderful feeling. I feel on top of the world each time I hold my baby in my arms. What more could I have asked for? We have named our daughter Layan Vivian Dsena.” He went on to say, “I have always maintained that I want to keep my personal and professional lives separate.

Murder Mystery 2 movie review: Underwhelming flick but works due to the fun moments and performances

MURDER MYSTERY 2 is about the adventures of a detective couple. After the events of the first film, Nick Spitz (Adam Sandler) and Audrey Spitz (Jennifer Aniston) start their detective agency. Sadly, their new business doesn’t go as planned. One day, Maharajah Vikram Shivan Govindan (Adeel Akhtar) calls and informs them that he’s going to get married. He invites the Spitzes to his high-profile Indian wedding on a private island. Nick and Audrey realize that they need this break and accept the invitation. On the island, they are given a royal welcome. At the sangeet function before the marriage, things go unexpectedly. The Maharajah was supposed to make an entry on an elephant. Instead, his bodyguard Lou (Larry Myo Leong), in an injured state, makes the entry. Nick sees the Maharajah being taken away to the mainland forcibly. Nick and Audrey take charge and realize that not many knew that the Maharajah was going to enter the venue on an elephant. This means that the suspects are the ones who knew about the plan and they are Maharajah’s sister Saira (Kuhoo Verma), Maharajah’s fiancée Claudette (Mélanie Laurent), Maharajah’s ex-fiancee Countess Sekou (Jodie Turner-Smith), Maharajah’s friend and ex-soccer player Francisco (Enrique Arce) and Colonel Ulenga (John Kani). What happens next forms the rest of the film. James Vanderbilt's story is entertaining. James Vanderbilt's screenplay is peppered with some funny and outrageous moments just like the first part. But unlike MURDER MYSTERY [2019], the suspense factor is disappointing in MURDER MYSTERY 2. The dialogues are one of the strengths of the film and enhance the humour quotient in several scenes. Jeremy Garelick's direction is decent. A few scenes are well shot and thought out and will surely raise loads of laughs. The first half is quite good and sets the mood. The Indian audiences particularly would enjoy the pre-wedding scene due to the desi touch. Two scenes stand out here –the suspects sneaking into Nick and Audrey’s room one by one, and Nick and Audrey negotiating with the kidnapper on the phone. The climax has its share of thrills too. On the flipside, the revelation of the villain is unexpected but is also quite silly. The motive of the character to turn villain is not explained. The track of the Countess fails to entice as well. And the big problem with the film is that it’s too short. It has a runtime of 90 minutes, out of which the end credits take up to 11 minutes. Hence, the actual film is just 79 minutes long and viewers will feel cheated as it ends too soon. MURDER MYSTERY was also not quite lengthy. It was 8 minutes longer than the sequel but had enough meat in the script and the villain angle was justified. All these factors are missing here. Speaking of performances, Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston both are adorable and very funny. Yet again, they make a fantastic team and keep the viewers glued to the narrative. Adeel Akhtar is entertaining in a cameo. Mark Strong (Miller) leaves a huge mark. Enrique Arce is good as the creepy guy and brings the house down in a few scenes. Kuhoo Verma, Mélanie Laurent, Jodie Turner-Smith, John Kani and Larry Myo Leong are fine in the supporting roles. Zurin Villanueva (Imani) is memorable thanks to her laugh. Jillian Bell (Susan) is decent. Dany Boon (Inspector Delacroix) is dependable. Rupert Gregson-Williams's music has a cinematic feel. Bojan Bazelli's cinematography is splendid. The locales of Paris, especially, are very well shot. Perry Andelin Blake's production design is top class. Debra McGuire's costumes are glamorous. Special mention should be made of Jennifer Aniston’s lehenga in the pre-wedding sequence, designed by Manish Malhotra. The action is family-friendly. Tom Costain and Brian M Robinson's editing is sharp. On the whole, MURDER MYSTERY 2 works due to the fun moments and the performances of Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston. However, the suspense element is weak and hence, the film turns out to be an average fare. But thanks to the immense hype and popularity of the first part, MURDER MYSTERY 2 will surely record huge viewership on Netflix.

Siddharth Anand on Pathaan doing so well at box office: 'I don’t differentiate between the class and the mass audience'

Director Siddharth Anand has delivered two monstrous hits back to back with War and now Pathaan, which has also become the all-time highest-grossing Hindi film worldwide in the history of cinema. He feels a ‘huge sense of vindication’ with Pathaan proving that people want to come to theatres to see films that give audiences a larger-than-life experience!  Siddharth and the visionary S.S. Rajamouli are also the only two directors in the coveted Rs. 500 crore nett collection club in Hindi format. Siddharth has also blunted the narrative that Hindi films are being check-mated by South films at the box office. Siddharth says, “There is a huge sense of vindication with Pathaan doing well at the box office. What I believe that films weren’t doing well in the middle because those films were made pre-pandemic. So, there was a period where cinemas were shut and we couldn’t release our films, people weren’t coming back – so there was a prolonged break for our films.” He adds, “And those films were made pre-pandemic, there is a mindset that has changed post-pandemic. There is a viewing pattern that has changed. And those films were unfortunately victims of that change. Even when I was making War, there was a sense of parallel cinema is the new commercial cinema in 2018-2019. You had small independent films and big ideas doing much better than tentpole films till War happened. That time also I felt that – Oh my God, has the viewing pattern changed but War again proved if you make a good cinematic experience film for our masses people will come to theatres.” Siddharth has delivered the biggest hits of superstars Shah Rukh Khan & Hrithik Roshan in these high octane spy films. He says, “I’d like to believe is that I don’t differentiate between the class and the mass audience. I try and cater to both subconsciously – it’s not an effort. So, I try and get all the quadrants to enjoy my films. And if you do that – the results are there in Pathaan.” ALSO READ: Siddharth Anand claims Pathaan deleted scene might be featured in OTT version

BH Style Icons 2023: Bobby Deol emerges as Most Stylish OTT Entertainer; says, “Deol family never got awards earlier”

Bollywood Hungama, the premier source for all things entertainment, has begun its 25th-anniversary celebration with the debut of Bollywood Hungama Style Icons 2023. The large, celebrity-studded event, which took place on March 24, honoured achievers from diverse walks of life – Television, Sports, Business, Fashion, OTT, Culinary World, Regional Cinema and more. Readers may recall that we nominated Bobby Deol, Pankaj Tripathi, Shefali Shah, Manoj Bajpayee and Huma Qureshi for the Most Stylish OTT Entertainer award. Well, actor Bobby Deol has emerged as the winner. The actor was presented by Raashii Khanna. With web shows like Class of ‘83 and Aashram in his repertoire, the actor has proved his mettle. If you look closely, besides the genres, the fashion choices of Deol for both looks were also standing apart from each other. Not only this, but he also impressed his fans with his performance in Love Hostel. After embracing the Most Stylish OTT Entertainer award, Deol asserted, “Award kaafi kam milte the humari family mai. Ab milney shuru ho gaye hai. So I thank OTT platforms for that. Because of these platforms actors like me, who are older, are getting the opportunity to play the characters, where they can prove their calibre. And that’s the best thing happening. In every department of filmmaking, there are a lot of people who don’t get jobs, and OTT platforms have done that.” He further added, “I never imagined getting a Style Icon award. I have to thank my wife Tany. I got married off right after my first film was released. She took control of my dressing.” Coming back to BH Style Icons 2023, held on March 24 2023 at JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu, a number of B-town celebs attended this maiden edition, including Ajay Devgn, Rohit Shetty, Anil Kapoor, Sunny Leone, Kartik Aaryan and Kriti Sanon.

BH Style Icons 2023: Aditya Roy Kapur receives Most Stylish Actor People’s Choice (Male) Award; says, “This is going to inspire me”

Global mega lifestyle and entertainment media hub Bollywood Hungama organised its first-ever uber-stylish Bollywood Hungama Style Icons awards this year, ahead of its 25th anniversary.

While accepting the award, presented by film producer Murad Khetani, Aditya asserted, “I am very flattered. Thank you Bollywood Hungama for this award. I have recently evolved from wearing shorts and chappal to now, pants and shoes; and you all would have noticed. Now, this award is going to inspire me to keep pushing the boundaries.” Well, going by Aditya’s closet, it is pretty evident that his style is proof that simplicity and minimalism can be just as stylish and elegant as elaborate designs and outfits.
