This movie too, has been on my watchlist for years now. Finally watched it today. And my oh my, this was such a fun, light-hearted & entertaining movie. Ofcourse it's not a masterpiece, but it surely fares better compared to other bolly movies of 2014. I love how the central element was food, Made me crave Lucknowi kebabs! And before I forget to mention, the leads, Parineeti & Aditya complement each other so well, this pair sure has sizzling chemistry and lot of potential. Aditya is hot as usual. Parineeti looked her absolute best in this one (would look even better, if not for the hideous pink lipstick, so 2014!)

The city also paints a beautiful picture when one wants to portray traditional India. Its people, architecture and weather blend easily into creating a picture-perfect scene. And it is maybe this charm that Lucknow has, which has made it a favourite for filmmakers over the years. Be it Ishaqzaade, Umrao Jaan or Gulabo Sitabo, Lucknow and its people have been featured in several movies over the years, narrating stories hidden behind its walls and in its streets, right from the Mughal era.
With a gripping storyline and a stellar cast. Thappad is probably one of the best movies based on social issues. The story revolves around the seemingly happy life of Amrita (Taapsee Pannu) and her husband Vikram (Pavail Gulati) until one night, he slaps her hard across the face as Amrita tries to break up a fight between her husband and a colleague. The movie, set in Lucknow, shows glimpses of the Jahangirabad Palace, among other places.
Jolly LLB 2 is the sequel to the popular movie starring Arshad Warsi and Amrita Rao. The sequel, with Akshay Kumar and Huma Qureshi as the leads, was among the movies based and shot for in Lucknow. It showcased the many lanes and places in the city, along with other places such as Manali.
