25-year-old actress Jiah Khan—also known as Nafisa—committed suicide at her Juhu residence last Monday. According to reports, she hung herself at around 11 p.m. The 25-year-old had worked with Amitabh Bachchan in Ram Gopal Varma’s Nishabd, which was inspired by the Hollywood film American Beauty.

We have three heroes; Luv (Vir Das), Hardik (Kunal Khemu) and Bunny (Anand Tiwari), all with their own USPs. Luv, as his name suggests is the love-sick lost cause that your heart goes out to; Hardik is a ladies man, yes the kind that can be aptly described with abusive language. And finally, we have Bunny, a character that resonates with every third man you know, the workaholic goody-two-shoes that manages to get into trouble because of his friends.

I’m not going to lie, it was the cast and crew of Ek Thi Daayan that tempted me to watch the film. Emraan Hashmi who has proved in the recent past that he is not just the kissing king, Konkana Sen Sharma who came back after a long hiatus, Huma Qureshi of the Gangs of Wasseypur fame and needless to say a good actress like Kalki Koechlin is what pulled me towards the theatre.

Before I talk about the movie, I have a confession to make; I am not a fan of superhero movies. And the only reason I ended up watching Iron Man 3 was because of my brother. He needed the company and I needed to get out of the house. So it worked out for both of us.

Rise of the quirky films is still going strong. After watching trailers for films like Go Goa Gone and Gippi, the college and school going kids have something to look forward to. Quirky, youth-based films are the in thing after all. People love bizarre comedy, good plots, new faces, and fresh ideas.

It’s a time when videos become over-night hits, thanks to YouTube. We all have heard the over-used but still entertaining “Gangnam Style” and loved the artist Psy even more.
