Two big releases on the weekend - Dilwale & Bajirao Mastani. With limited work load, I was determined to catch at least one of them before it was too late.

Creativity is not a cut and paste formula. And I guess what works once, maybe even twice may not work again and again. That's what Madhur Bhandarkar seems to have missed out on in his latest project - fashion.
