Actor Tony Luke, who made his Bollywood debut with the 2019 Amitabh Bachchan-starrer Badla, says it is his conscious choice to be as different as possible.
"It is a conscious choice to be as different as possible on the outside and to feel emotions that I never felt before on the inside! Be as different as possible to me! So, if a particular character I am doing makes me sweat with anticipation before a scene, I see it as a good sign! I welcome such a feeling! That makes you work hard for that character that is so different from you!" Tony said.

ReviewWhen thrillers are made in Telugu, there is always the fear that it may look amateurish especially to the trained eye, but 'Goodachari' treads carefully.Krishna SripadaA Kingsman-touch with an underground, secret establishment hidden beneath a tailor’s shop; Bourne series-style hand-to-hand combats; a high adrenaline sound track; leading ladies who are not just props and a couple of really good twists. Goodachari, despite its in-your-face title, is a good thriller which is script-heavy and lets its protagonist, Gopi alias Arjun (Adivi Sesh), breathe without engulfing the movie. Arjun is desperate to get into Research and Analysis Wing (Raw) like his dad, despite his foster-dad Satya’s (Prakash Raj) reluctance to permit him. He manages to get into Trinetra, an intelligence wing, and just as he accomplishes his training, unearths a sinister plot that claims many a casualty including his identity. Then starts a cat-and-mouse chase, with Arjun’s history...

Movie Review: "Boochi 3D"; Star cast: J.D. Chakravarthy, Manisha Koirala, Madhu Shalini and Alayana Sharma; Director: Ram Gopal Varma; Rating: ** - is three times boring.
Having watched "Boochi 3D", the Telugu version of Ram Gopal Varma's horror-thriller "Bhoot Returns", I told myself there's absolutely no way I'm going to put myself through the torture of watching the third part in the franchise. But what keeps this sequel truly an edge-of-the-seat affair, is its earth-shattering background score and Varma's signature camera shots.
Tarun Awasthi moves in.

Directed by Ram Gopal Verma and written by Ravi Shankar, Bhoot Returns is sequel to the 2003 thriller Bhoot. Bhoot had also been an Rgv directorial and starred Urmila Matondkar in an outstanding performance. Bhoot Returns, however does not live up to the original and is unfortunately and evidently, a failed attempt. Horror films are meant to be spooky and not whatever Bhoot Returns transpired into being.
Tarun (J.D Chakravarthy) and Namrata Awasthi (Manisha Koirala) move into a new house with their two children, Taman and Nimmi (Alayana Sharma). Nimi often talks about a friend called Shabbo and says that she plays with Shabbo all the time. Tarun’s sister Pooja (Madhu Shalini) comes home for the holidays who find’s Nimmi’s obsession with this imaginary Shabbo rather weird and more than just child’s play. Pretty soon random unexplained occurances in the house start being noticed such as...

On The Road (15)
(Walter Salles, 2012, Fra/UK/Us/Bra) Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund, Kristen Stewart, Kirsten Dunst, Tom Sturridge. 124 mins
It was the book that defined a generation, but On The Road has taken several more generations to get to the screen, which dissipates the energy somewhat. Added to which, Jack Kerouac's hip prose was never exactly movie-friendly. This is appropriately scenic, sweaty, druggy and ambisexual, but for all the forced bohemian zeal, the road feels rather long and flat. And what once passed for creative hedonism now looks more like male self-indulgence, which is never much fun to watch.

Movie Review: Bhoot Returns (3D); Star Cast: Manisha Koirala, J.D. Chakravarty, Madhu Shalini, Alayana Sharma; Director: Ram Gopal Varma; Rating: * - Stay away from it.
Ram Gopal Varma's repertoire of films can be classified in basic two categories, good and bad. And "Bhoot Returns" made in the 3D format can be listed as the worst of the lot.
The film plunges directly into the genre with a voice over telling the audience that there are some houses that are haunted.

Ram Gopal Varma has given the Bollywood industry some big films over the years. He has directed, written and produced films across multiple genres – psychological thrillers, underworld warfare, fiction, politics-nexus and experimental films in various languages. His horror films have also been quite a revelation as he has introduced some path-breaking horror films in Indian Cinema.
Right from the year 1992, when Raat was released, which is still considered one of the best horror films made in Bollywood; Rgv has never let his audiences down with this genre.
In 2003 again, Ajay Devgn and Urmila Matondkar’s Bhoot was a hit. Both of them won awards for their outstanding performances. There is no denial in the fact that Ram Gopal Varma has given a list of horror films and recreated the genre with his creativity and visualization.
His other note worthy films in this genre includes Vaastu Shastra (2004), Phoonk (2008) and Darna Mana Hai (2003) among many more.
