Actress turned author Twinkle Khanna, who is often seen sharing her opinions on social media, has shared her take on Akshay Kumar and Bhumi Pednekar's film 'Raksha Bandhan'. The Aanand L Rai directorial is slated to release on Thursday. Ahead of the release, Twinkle penned a detailed review on Instagram.
In her post, Twinkle was seen praising Akshay's film. She also revealed that the film made her laugh in the first half and cry through the second. She also wrote that the film is a 'reality that we wish didn’t exist.'
Twinkle wrote, "Raksha Bandhan made me laugh in the first half and cry through the second. A movie about the India we all pretend doesn’t exist. A reality that we wish didn’t exist. We have changed terms, from ‘dowry’ to ‘gifts’ but in homes across social-economic strata, variations of the custom loom large. The wonderful Aanand Rai has skilfully built a world where siblings tease each other, support each other and ultimately triumph together. The challenge with altering mindsets is that these conversations circulate largely among the already-converted. It’s perhaps only cinema that has the power to burrow into the minds and hearts of people across the board. Raksha Bandhan may make you smile and crack up, but I dare you to leave the theatre dry-eyed:) #rakshabandhan." Have a look:
The film also stars Sadia Khateeb, Sahejmeen Kaur, Smrithi Srikanth and Deepika Khanna. The film will be clashing with Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan's 'Laal Singh Chaddha'.
