Dismay over Deepika Padukone’s name in the drug chat, Ranveer Singh stands solidly behind his wife

The ‘Mumbaiya’ lingo became famous thanks to films like RANGEELA, MUNNA BHAI SERIES etc. and also the various films based on the Underworld. The lingo has a charm of its own and sadly, very few films have been made of late that are based on the characters mouthing this dialect. KHAALI PEELI attempts to be an exception in this regard. It’s a special film as it marks the debut of SULTAN [2016] and TIGER ZINDA HAI [2017] director Ali Abbas Zafar as producer. The chemistry of the lead actors – Ishaan Khatter and Ananya Panday – has also got noticed. So does KHAALI PEELI manage to entertain? Or does it fail to entice? Let’s analyse.

Deepika Padukone allegedly chatting about drugs with her manager has sent shock waves across the film industry, and is cause for immense embarrassment for both Deepika’s and her husband Ranveer Singh’s families.
