"Panga"; Cast: Kangana Ranaut, Jassi Gill, Richa Chadha, Neena Gupta, Yagna Bhasin; Direction: Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari; Rating: * * * (three stars)

"Panga" is the sort of film you easily fall in love with. It has a stellar cast in fine form, is directed by a filmmaker who knows her business of storytelling only too well, and it manages to deliver a topical comment without getting too preachy about it. It is an entertaining film that effortlessly reaches out to the wider audience, and at the same time doesn't lose connect with basic cinematic aesthetics.

In short, "Panga" ticks all the boxes a good Bollywood mainstream film should.

Co-writer and director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari's third film underlines what we had realised after "Nil Battey Sannata" and aceBareilly Ki Barfi"
