4) The Zoya Factor is what you’d assume it to be — a woman-centred romantic comedy. However, It’s also the hero who runs away with the chick flick. Based on AnujaChauhan’s novel of the same title, the film has a bumbling ad executive, ZoyaSolanki (SonamKapoor) at its centre. On a shoot with the Indian cricket team, she ends up becoming its lucky mascot for the World Cup and also charms her way to the team captain Nikhil Khoda’s (DulquerSalmaan) heart. The ultimate romantic fantasy of any Indian girl next door.
On paper the personal and professional struggles of Zoya seem like an ideal vehicle for any wannabe Indian Bridget Jones to run riot. Not quite. The ditzy manner of the impeccably clad SonamKapoor works only up to a point and becomes pesky when stretched over two hours. Like her, the quirky tenor of the film also feels deliberate than organic and is irritating and clunky at that. The misunderstandings between the lovers are played out the worst. Not only do they feel needless but also inert. Where’s the emotional pull? And, one hasn’t yet come to how the combination of the world of cricket and advertising easily paves the way for some uncomfortably conspicuous in-film brand endorsement.
What can be said about the genre of the film mentioned above?
A) Feminist
B) Thriller
C) Modern camaraderie
D) Romantic comedy
E) None of the above
5) “Virat Kohli looks an effective captain in the international arena simply because he has got two successful captains like Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Rohit Sharma in the side”, former India opener GautamGambhir said. Dhoni is considered as one of India’s greatest captains having won two World Cups while Rohit has been a very successful franchise skipper leading Mumbai Indians to an unprecedented four IPL titles. “Still a long way to go for him (Kohli). Kohli was very good in the last World Cup (in England) but he has a long way to go. He captains so well in international cricket because he has got Rohit Sharma, he had M.S. Dhoni for a long time,” Gambhir told reporters after interacting with the students of a university on Thursday.
Citing Kohli’s record in the Indian Premier League, Gambhir said a skipper’s effectiveness is tested when you don’t have the services of several talented players. “Captaincy credentials are noticed when you are leading a franchise, when you do not have other players supporting you,” said Gambhir, who led Kolkata Knight Riders to two IPL titles. “Captaincy credentials are noticed when you are leading a franchise, when you do not have other players supporting you,” said Gambhir, who led Kolkata Knight Riders to two IPL titles. “I have been honest whenever I have spoken about this. See what Rohit Sharma has achieved for Mumbai Indians, see what Dhoni has achieved for Chennai Super Kings. If you compare that with RCB, the results are there for everyone to see”, the cricketer-turned politician said.
What attribute about GaurtamGambhir’s can be seen in the passage?
A) Jealous
B) Generous
C) Candid
D) Irrational
E) None of the above
