Anupama Chopra starts the show and first gives her review on the movie – Kya Dilli Kya Lahore directed by Vijay Raaz and written by Aseem Arora. She says that for making a good film if only good intentions are present then Kya Dilli Kya Lahore would have been an amazing film. The film is a story of two soldiers – Pakistani soldier Rehmat Ali (played by Vijay Raaz) and a Cook of Indian Army Samarth Pratap (played by Manu Rishi).
They meet at the border and at first they wanted to fight to kill each other but finally understand the humanity between them. Though the story looks solid but on-screen its not the same. The film’s plot revolves around them where they are seen talking about their life, family, and also hurl abuses. They have touching moments between them but it gets to a point where both starts to talk and look too emotional. The entire film is shot at one location only and a small cabin is used to depict as Wagah border. It could have been well for a theatre but to spend 2 hrs on two characters will be difficult for people. As a result, she gives 2 stars to the movie.
Audience feedback on Kya Dilli Kya Lahore:
– The film gives a social message
– Very Good efforts
– The character Barfi is very small but very interesting.

After school, he started getting offers and friends told him that as he has not planned so suggests him to select the film offers. He chose Heropanti because it has Martial Arts.

Tiger: says that hopefully those words come true. He says his father is different and also talks on the advice that his father gave him which is to talk less and listen more.

Anupama says that he has doing lot of action scenes for example – back flip in the song – Whistle Bajao and he is doing it with finesse. She then asks him, Did he ever fear that director will only focus on his action scenes and put not much care on acting ?
Tiger: says that action stunts are a small part and is only an additional benefit to an actor but the essential quality remains to be acting. He stresses that if he wants to do only action then he could have worked in Circus or prepare for Olympics. His biggest fear is to compare him with his father. And he knows that he can never surpass his father’s achievements.
