Ladies vs Ricky Bahl

Streaming on: Amazon Prime Video

It’s the three pretty ladies, played by Parineeti Chopra, Dippanita Sharma and Aditi Sharma, along with street smart Ishika Desai (Anushka Sharma) versus con-man Ricky Bahl (Ranveer Singh) in Maneesh Sharma’s Ladies vs Ricky Bahl. Though the film got a mixed response from critics, watch it for a charming Ranveer conning women till he is done in by his heart.

Ishaqzaade

Streaming on: Amazon Prime Video

Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra in Ishaqzaade.

Habib Faisal’s romantic drama Ishaqzaade looks very similar to Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla’s Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. Chauhans and Qureshis are rivals. Parma (Arjun Kapoor) is the son of the Chauhans and Zoya (Parineeti Chopra) is the spirited daughter of the Qureshis. They fall in love and add spark to their family animosity. Watch the film for Parineeti’s impressive performance.

Shuddh Desi Romance

Streaming on: Amazon Prime Video

The rom-com, directed by Maneesh Sharma, is a decent watch for lovers of the genre. In her review, The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta wrote, “The nicest part of this romcom, which triangulates girl-boy-girl in a manner Bollywood is just waking up to, is that it lets its characters talk. Like, you know, real conversations, where faces are turned to each other, where the baat-cheet between a girl and guy moves from checking-each-other-for-size -banter to will-our-noses-fit-if-we-kiss to can’t-keep-our-hands-off-each-other level. Yes, that kind of locked-eyed, quickening breaths, leaping-libidos chat. Writer Jaideep Sahni, the man behind a bunch of excellent films, including one of my all-time favourites, Rocket Singh, lifts Shuddh Desi Romance: his characters talk, and they make us listen.”

Hasee Toh Phasee

Streaming on: Netflix

Nikhil (Sidharth Malhotra) is assigned the task of keeping a check on his fiancee’s troublemaker sister Meeta (Parineeti Chopra) at his wedding. While doing so, he falls in love with her but doesn’t profess his love because of his guilt. The Vinil Mathew directorial suffers a great deal because of a wobbly plot. It only deserves a viewing if you are really bored.

Meri Pyaari Bindu

Streaming on: Amazon Prime Video

Ayushmann Khurrana and Parineeti Chopra in Meri Pyaari Bindu.

Abhi (Ayushmann Khurrana) and Bindu (Parineeti Chopra) are childhood friends. As they grow older, they fall in love, but Bindu is a bit selfish and whimsical. She falls out of love as soon as she falls into it. Abhi is a simple boy and believes in old-school romance. Watch the film for its nostalgic vibe, Khurrana’s performance, and its soothing music.

Golmaal Again

Streaming on: Amazon Prime Video

Golmaal Again is the fourth film in Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal franchise.

Looking for a fun watch? Golmaal Again is a good pick. Helmed by Rohit Shetty, the film stars Ajay Devgn, Tabu, Parineeti Chopra, Tusshar Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Prakash Raj, Kunal Kemmu and Arshad Warsi among others. It is the fourth movie in Shetty’s Golmaal franchise.

Kesari

The official description of the Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra-starrer Kesari reads, “Kesari is an unbelievable true story based on the Battle of Saragarhi, 1891. Touted as one of the bravest battle ever fought, 21 courageous Sikhs countered 10,000 invaders. These saffron-clad warriors fought valiantly against all odds and changed the meaning of bravery.”

Jabariya Jodi

Streaming on: ZEE5

Parineeti Chopra and Sidharth Malhotra in a still from Jabariya Jodi.

The Prashant Singh film revolves around the concept of ‘Pakadwah Shaadi’ in which the groom is kidnapped in order to avoid giving dowry. In the movie, Sidharth Malhotra plays a thug, who helps kidnap grooms and Parineeti is seen as his love interest. The Indian Express film critic Shubra Gupta called Jabariya Jodi a “confused, long-drawn mess”. In her one-star review, she wrote, “From start to finish, there’s isn’t a single shred of conviction on display. The result is a confused, unpleasing, long-drawn mess, which the viewers will ‘jabariya’ have to sit through.”
