    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    Actually the movie which I like the most and which made me laugh is the Dhamal movie, it came when I was maybe in the 6th or 7th grade, so it's nearly 10 or 12 year old movie basically. So in that when I was watching with my parents, it made me laugh hilariously, even I had watched that in my childhood later on when I grew up and I was doing B.Tech at that time also I watched it again. So the best part about the movie was it was very raw, in the dialogue there was not any kind of nonsense, moreover the acting was so beautiful that even when you just watch it without listening it will make you laugh. As much as I can recall there was one actor, it's basically a character who was acted as a child, though he was an adult but acted as a child, he was so sweet that even arguing with it you will feel like laughing. So basically that's the thing which I liked about this movie the most and it made me laugh, it was one of the best movies which I have watched till date I can say for sure.

    The movie that made me laugh is one of my favourite movies of all time. That is Sarov Sardar, a movie of Ajay Devgn and Sudakshi Sinha. And Sanjay Dutt has also played a negative role in that movie. He is like a big brother type in that movie. I loved that movie because there was plenty of dialogues that made me laugh. And first time I watched that movie when I was 12 years old I guess. First time I watched that movie alone but sometimes now I watch with my mom. And plenty of dialogues are amazing. Like one thing is very common in that movie that the hero is stuck at the villain's house and he is trying to get out. But he knows that he is in a wrong house. So if he tries to get out, the Sandhus, on the other side there was a villain side, they called their name Sandhus. So the Sandhus gonna kill him because they have like a 25 year old enemy relationship with their family. I mean wow! And Ajay Devgn has also amazing dialogues with Sudakshi Sinha as well. I mean the movie was fantastic and there was many ideas that shows the way of culture in Punjab. They represented the funny culture of Punjab and the movie was fantastic and amazing. I mean I could watch that movie for days without any break.

    The film that made me laugh was Three Idiots and it was a comedy film which was featuring by three of the actors, Aamir Khan and two others that I can't remember because when I was a child at that time I watched the film with my friends and I enjoyed it very much in the theatre. The theatre is located nearly a mile away from my home and also it is an air-conditioned. While enjoying the movie we had popcorns and soft drinks. Also the movie made me laugh because of the acting which was very energetic and passionate. The film was directed by a well-known director in India. Also the film was about two and half hour long which I think it is a perfect timing and there was a I remember there was an actor named Aamir Khan and Rancho in the movie. He was very comedy and made everyone in the theatre laugh I remember. Also the cast was very amazing. There was one heroine named Kareena Kapoor Khan and yes I liked that movie because very funny scenes in that there was very funny scenes in the movie.

    It was... I remember it was in the year 2020. I remember it was the Sunday of 2019 in the mid-June. I watched a movie known... I watched a movie named Housefull 4. I watched it in a movie theatre with my friends. And the movie was amazing. The actors nailed it. So the actors were very well renowned and the dialogue delivery of the actors and the actions made me laugh so much. There are many comedy scenes in that movie and you can also see some of the jump scares but ignoring all the stuff, the comedians and the actors were just... I don't have any words to explain them. And they were so fluent with their words. The actions were just irresistible to see. I cherished that day.

    I'm not a filmaholic person, but whenever I went to watch a movie, it's like a treat for me. I have recently watched a movie whose name is Three, I have seen this movie with my college friends and the movie plot was so hilarious, which kept us sitting from starting to end. The movie plot was based on comedy and drama, which is like a rollercoaster ride of laughter and we all friends enjoyed this movie a lot. The dialogues and the dialogue delivery and the acting was superb. Everyone in the movie has performed their part so well, so everyone can relate with them and we were very happy to watch this movie. This movie was worth watching and completely refreshed us and it's a worth watching movie. We all enjoyed this movie a lot and we had laughed and sometimes screamed.

    Personally, I watched every big star movie on every week because I love to watch movies. But recently I watched my favorite hero's movie which is Housefull 5. The starring with Akshay Kumar who is a brilliant actor. His expression, action, intense, romantic, everything is best. And I had watched this movie last week with my family, my mother and sister. I went with both of them to the movie theater to watch his movie. And personally me and my family together laughed at every moment of the movie because they have a very sense of humor, of good laughing, of good jokes. Sometimes there were some double meaning jokes over there. But still there were some scenes which have a very good humor of the jokes. And personally I believe whenever you laugh, it is your medicine. It is the best medicine for your body. I believe that if I watch that movie, it was worth for me. I am laughing. And there are some few songs which is very good of the movie. And I enjoyed and we are thrilled to watch that movie. And my mother was also thrilled to watch that movie because she never had watched a movie like that before in theater. So she liked it more than me. And the movie has big stars, big cast which includes so many big stars in that movie.

    So, I won't be talking about a movie, but I'll be talking about a series which is named The Office. This is a sitcom, this is an American sitcom starring Steve Carell. I usually watch it alone when I need a good laugh. It makes me laugh because the actors keep pulling pranks on each other and they do these impractical jokes and I found it very funny and whenever I watch this series, it just transports me to another dimension. I forget about all my hardships in my life, I really like it.

    That's an interesting question. I would remember a movie called Petro, which I watched during my college days with my friends. It was a good humorous movie with lots of joke parts in it. That's a commercial movie, doesn't have any motive to overrun any story in it. That's a memorable one which stands in my mind till now. It's great.

    The last year, I watched Crudes, a Hindi duct, on my television with my family. It's a beautiful movie about four indigenous people living, tribal peoples living in a time when the earth was dominated by dangerous animals. And it was all on the edge of ending. So this story is about how these people survive the end of the earth and accept new changes. So in their culture, there was this rule, fearing is good. If you fear something, go inside your cave. So as the movie progresses, the bravest thing they learned was stepping out in the world, learning new things and eliminating fear from their life.

    The one movie that actually made me laugh is called Hera Pheri. I don't remember with whom I watched that movie, but if I'm not wrong, I watched it along with my family. It was a long time back, maybe when I was in class 4, that time I watched a movie. So why I really liked that movie is because of its comical nature. And it's very healthy comedy, you don't even have to think twice about the comical things that you know, about the jokes that they are making actually. One example is like there is one guy named, who is called Baburao in the movie. So he's actually a tenant who gives rent, he's the owner of a house and two people come, Raju and one more, I forgot the name of the guy. So he came and they come to his place and stay along with him. So it revolves around their life mostly. So what happens, they are in utter need of money. So how to get that money? So the whole plot moves around like that, you know, how they can get money easily without any, you know, like kidnapping someone without any lots of tension and all. But they end up, you know, penetrating a gang in Mumbai suburbs after which, you know, they become victim of lots of problems. Most of them are, you know, joking, comical nature. So that is one movie that really made me laugh. And apart from that, there are other movies like Dhamal, Golmaal and all those things. Those are also good, which I really like to watch.
