He showed good emotions and expressions and impressed with his screen presence and dialogue delivery. He created humour and did well as a innocent lover. He showed good transformation and variation according to his role.\r\nRashmika Mandanna looked good on screen. She got a different kind of role and did full justice. She looked gorgeous on the screen and expressed herself quite aptly.\r\nParesh Rawal impressed with his hilarious antics in the role of the protagonist\'s father. Geeta Aggarwal is good in the role of the mother. Both performed well in a natural and realistic manner.\r\nNawazuddin Siddiqui made his presence felt in the role of Yakshasan. Sathyaraj is good in his role.\r\nNorah Fatehi and Malaika Arora sizzled red hot in the special songs. Amar Kaushik also appeared in the special song. Varun Dhawan and Aneet Padda thrilled in the cameos.\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Thamma (2025) Movie: Technicians Review</h2>\r\nThamma story is Niren Bhatt, Suresh Mathew and Arun Falara and is directed by Aditya Sarpotdar. He came up with the love story in the backdrop of horror elements. He stars the narration in a slow and steady manner establishing the various characters. The first half after a slow start goes at a steady pace with few hilarious scenes involving&nbsp; Paresh Rawal. The mystery involving Ayushman Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna is kept intact and first half ends on a decent note.\r\nThe second half turns more serious and the so called horror elements takes centrestage with the lead to the main story and the conflict. Few songs and the scenes ended up dragging the pace of the narration and tested the patience of the viewers. Nawazuddin Siddique\'s role who was the antagonist instead of showing power,turned out to be a mere caricature and weak character. The climax is dragged and ended on a predictable not with the lead to the next part.\r\nThe story reminds one of the hit films like Lokah-Chapter 1 which featured Kalyani Priyadarshan and also the previous horror films of Maddock like Stree, Stree 2 and Bhediya where the protagonist will be shocked to find the secret of the female whom he loves dearly. There is nothing much in the story though the concept looks interesting.\r\nWhile the first half is rushed , the second half is dragged and the cameos instead of adding value, bogged down the narration. The romantic track and the chemistry didnot make an impact and the horror elements failed to thrill.\r\nDirector failed to comeup with interesting and exciting narration and he failed with his screenplay and direction to come up with more impactful twists and turns. The so called emotions also looked forced and artificial bringing down the intensity levels.\r\nThe music of Sachin&ndash;Jigar is good. The couple of songs are situational and shot in an appealing manner. The background score tuned elevated the scenes making a good impact.\r\nHemanti Sarkar\'s ending is quite decent. There are not many drags in the film. Dialogues are interesting and hilarious and in sync with the storyline.\r\nThe Cinematography of Saurabh Goswami turned the film colourful. He showed the scenes in a good way making an impact on viewers taking them into the story.\r\nProduction values are good. Maddok Films left no stone unturned to come with a quality output on the silver screen.\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Thamma Movie: Advantages</h2>\r\n<ul style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Ayushman Khurana</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Celebrities Cameos</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Thamma Movie: Disadvantages</h2>\r\n<ul style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-size: 17px; background-color: #ffffff;\">\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Repetitive scenes</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Weak Villian</li>\r\n<li style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\">Lack of Emotions</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2 style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif, Ramabhadra; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 10px; font-size: 18px; padding-bottom: 0px; background-color: #ffffff;\">Thamma (2025) Movie: Rating Analysis</h2>\r\nAltogether, Thamma turns out to be a below average horror entertainer. Ayushman Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna came up with spirited performances and director Aditya Sarpotdar came up with an half baked story. The first half sails through at an even pace with good dose of humor. The second half humour dips and dragged scenes brings down the intensity levels. Thamma turned out to be the weakest as the director set his sights on the next part rather than concentrate on coming up with concrete story. More fine-tuning of the story and the script and racy screenplay would have added value to the final outcome. Considering all these aspects,&nbsp;Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Thamma.

\r\nBollywood superstar Salman Khan\'s recent statement at the Joy Forum 2025 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, has ignited a heated online debate. Khan mentioned people from Balochistan separately from Pakistan, sparking discussions about the intent and significance of his comments. The clip of his remarks went viral, with some questioning whether it was a slip of the tongue or a deliberate political statement.\r\nThe controversy revolves around Khan\'s statement, where he said, \"There are people from Balochistan, there are people from Afghanistan, there are people from Pakistan... everyone is working here.\" Some social media users defended Khan, arguing that his comment showed awareness of Balochistan\'s distinct regional identity. Others questioned whether Khan\'s statement was due to ignorance or an intentional reference to Balochistan\'s status.\r\nThe debate highlights the complexities surrounding Balochistan\'s identity and status. Balochistan, Pakistan\'s largest province, has a long history of unrest and demands for greater autonomy. The region is strategically important due to Gwadar port and its proximity to the Gulf of Oman. Many Baloch believe their annexation during Partition was different from dominant political groups like Punjabis and Sindhis, fueling their quest for recognition.\r\nThe online debate continues, with some users interpreting Khan\'s statement as a deliberate political statement and others seeing it as an innocent slip of the tongue. As the controversy unfolds, it\'s clear that the issue of Balochistan\'s identity and status remains a sensitive topic, with implications for the region and beyond.\r\n
