The first season of Breathe, in my opinion, was a dud. It never felt like a series that got developed using the possibility of the series format. It was in a way constrained to just two tracks that had familiar or assumable trajectories. I am talking about the first season of Breathe in the review… Continue reading Breathe: Into The Shadows
Sufiyum Sujatayum
Sufiyum Sujatayum aspires to be a poignant tale of a woman’s quest for closure. The issue is that the movie only has discrete moments in it that actually make the viewer feel the depth and intensity of the silent yet expressive romance. Sufiyum Sujatayum is the kind of movie that should make the audience feel… Continue reading Sufiyum Sujatayum
Dark: Season 3
Depth in the presentation can always induce a particular curiosity in you to understand more about the subject and discuss it. During a 2017 interview, Jantje Friese, the co-creator of Dark was asked what she really wanted the audience to take away from the series. And in her reply, she said she will be happy… Continue reading Dark: Season 3
Rasbhari
The initial reaction of almost everyone to the trailer of the latest Amazon Prime Video web series Rasbhari would be “Whats an Alt-Balaji series doing on Amazon?”.

You can clearly see what’s coming your way and the movie rarely takes a detour from the familiar trajectory. But the quality production-design and the… Continue reading Bulbbul
Aarya
Aarya, the latest Hotstar Special is a thoroughly gripping series that rarely has a weak point. This is the official adaptation of the Dutch series Penoza. On the face, it may look like a killing spree, but along with that, they are exploring the human side of the story and that element helps the content… Continue reading Aarya
Chaman Bahaar
Chaman Bahaar is a very confusing mixture of genres where you don’t really know whether to root for the character or not. For a large chunk of its run time, I was looking at it as a satire and then the movie started to act like a romantic comedy and this shifting from genre to… Continue reading Chaman Bahaar
Penguin
The look and feel of the movie Penguin for a majority of its runtime has a peculiar tone. We are clueless about the villain and at one point when we think the movie has finally found its bad guy we still have 30 more minutes of movie left. For me, the curiosity generated by the… Continue reading Penguin
