Predictable - but definitely watchable!!

Think of an underworld bollywood movie and what comes to your mind first - drugs, extortion, murders, gun wielding henchmen, “bhai(s)” pouting ''tapori istyle'' abusive language, raunchy item numbers. Kidnapping and murders committed at the drop of a hat. So predictable and so filmy....Read more

Same story by ekta but still sweet
Kkavyanjali

Good review... saw the serial. seems like this time 'Ekta Aunty' is trying her hand at something new. Amrita Singh is super... must say she holds herself with poise... very natural unlike the plastic 'bahus' and 'maajis'. The actor playing 'Kkavy' also looks good... what's his name by the way?? ... Hope the serial does not go the same way as other 'K' serials CiaoRead More
