Janhvi Kapoor, whose latest film Roohi recently released in theatres, continues to impress with her stylish fashion game. Styled by Mohit Rai, she has been giving us one memorable look after the other. But the recent one might be the best.
The Gunjan Saxena actor was recently spotted looking ravishing in a red dress from the label Valdrin Sahiti. The off-shoulder outfit accentuated her frame rather well but it is the train detailing and the thigh-high slit that stole the show.
She completed the look with bright red lips and hair styled in soft curls. Check out the picture here.
Prior to this, she had stepped out in an outfit from Ziad Nakad. This risqué dress had sequin and feather details and the look was completed with hair parted at the center. The make-up was minimal and impeccable.
Here are some other pictures from the promotions.
We hope she never stops experimenting and continues to give fashion goals!
There is a very clear Fukrey vibe to Roohi, in fact there are scenes which will immediately remind you of Choocha and his unhinged love for Bholi, only that there’s a ‘churail’ (ghost) around. And it’s not any ordinary ghost but ‘Mudiya Pairi’ (literally twisted ankles).
In and around Bagadpur, which has people speaking several dialects, there’s a tradition of ‘pakdai byah’ (bride kidnapping). Bhawra Pandey (Rajkummar Rao) and Katanni (Varun Sharma) are among the contract goons who get such weddings done. The twist in the tale comes when they abduct a possessed girl Roohi (Janhvi Kapoor) and then fall in love with her as Sharma hilariously calls it ‘the exercise of imlie’.
Written by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba and Gautam Mehra, Roohi is totally about spontaneity and a solid beginning. Though both Rao and Sharma are in their favourite zone, but their back and forth and punchlines evoke laughs. The first 15-20 minutes of the film have more spoken words than an entire Vishal Bhardwaj film. Director Hardik Mehta (Amdavad Ma Famous, Kaamyaab) has got his hands on the pulse of the young audiences. He knows when to go for the oneliners and when to use overpowering background score to enhance the charm of a jungle and a funny ghost situation.
Because Stree came first, so you might notice similarities but at the core of Roohi lies a lesser complicated idea. The only hindrance is that by the time we reach the point of resolution, almost everything has been repeated at least twice and the viewers are hammered with Choocha and Aaloo (Rao, Ludo) antics. If we avoid nitpicking then it’s actually quite enjoyable, certainly better than the heavy-duty notions hurled at us in the second half.
Kapoor’s quickly shifting moods and voice modulations seem funnier than intended. At one point of time, it begins to feel like a split personality film gone completely awry. Thankfully, Rao and Sharma, mostly the latter, know their boundaries and stick to their strengths.
Mehta, as director, while working with a convoluted script, creates some praiseworthy imageries, like that of an old lady doing cardio or Rao spreading his arms like Shah Rukh Khan in a silhouette. Such ploys instantly create a light mood where one would be more inclined to appreciate the efforts to create situational comedy. Despite being predictable and some disconnected scenes, Roohi has a tone of its own. It’s very talkative and has one point agenda — word play to the most.
You may not remember this 145-minute film for its ideas but you’ll remember it for high entertainment quotient. Just like Hera Pheri, Thank You and Ankhiyon Se Goli Maare, Roohi too establishes an instant connect in spite of outrageous situations and extremely over the top comedy.
Sari is that one piece of clothing that every Indian woman adores. And in Bollywood actress Janhvi Kapoor’s case, she seems to be in love with drapes and how! She has always been a fan of saris, specifically solid coloured ones. Her Instagram is filled with stunning and beautiful photos of her posing all too happy in a sari and we’re in love with them! Let’s look at the millennial’s love for classic Indian drapes in almost every colour.
– Red sari: A red sari is a must-have in every woman’s closet. It’s quite a versatile colour and when you dress it up with heavy jewellery, it can turn into a perfect outfit for a wedding. You can even keep it looking simple like Janhvi did and let the sari do the talking.
– Bright blue sari: Janhvi is definitely a fan of solid colours and this bright blue drape only proves it right. With the simple and elegant styling, she absolutely reminds us of her mom, the late Sridevi. We love how she’s kept her hair looking simple and her kohled eyes to round off the look.
– Yellow sari: Chiffon saris seem like the actress’ favourite and this ’90s inspired yellow drape stole many hearts. While the sari looks simple, the actress gave her fans a major style cue by pairing it up with a statement-making embellished blouse. You could take some inspiration from the actress and wear such a sari for a haldi function.
– Lavender sari: While Janhvi loves some bright solid colours, she is also inclined towards trendy hues. This lavender sequin sari is an absolute treat to the eyes. The pre-drape sari is an easier option to chose for someone who likes an effortless look. When you choose the right colour and glamorous makeup to go with it, you are bound to turn some heads and drop some jaws.
– Dull gold sari: Talking about statement saris, this dull gold hue seems to be Janhvi’s favourite. Silk saris are exquisite and when you pair them with the right jewellery pieces, it makes you look the best. Janhvi knows her way around saris and this drape has quite a festive vibe to it. Definitely a show-stealer, don’t you think?
