Kajal Aggarwal on Kavacham
"Kavacham is a thriller. It does have a love story but more than the focus on the love story, it’s a very fast paced, keeping you-on-the-edge-of-the-seat sort of a thriller. That is what I feel is quite exciting. The audience will definitely wonder about what happens next. Especially, post the interval, with twists and turns, different parts of the plot gets revealed," Kajal Aggarwal told indianexpress.com.

Tamannaah Bhatia on Next Enti
"When I heard the script, I was convinced that I should do Next Enti. It is a youthful subject which I haven’t done earlier in my career. The film is based in London. It talks about stereotyping women. For example, judging a woman based on her fashion choices. This film deals with the question of why everyone looks at women with some preconceived notion. It also talks about a woman’s right to make her own decisions. We show the challenges of the girls of the current generation through the journey of the female protagonist in this film," Tamannaah Bhatia told indianexpress.com.

Kedarnath: Our verdict
There was clarity of intent and execution in Abhishek Kapoor’s terrific Kai Po Che, as it went about upholding the virtues and necessity of religious harmony. It took a clear stand. In trying to please everyone, Kedarnath loses edge, and leads to a tepid cop-out. It’s a weepie minus the tears.
