Bicchoo Ka Khel
When Mirzapur got released, many reviews said that it felt like a wannabe Anurag Kashyap movie that never achieved that quality. Well, I personally never had that opinion about the series. But when it comes to the new Zee5 Alt Balaji series Bicchoo Ka Khel starring Divyendu Sharma in the lead role, I would say… Continue reading Bicchoo Ka Khel
Mookuthi Amman

Well when it comes to the impact part of that idea, I would say it is similar to the sanitary pad ad featuring Akshay… Continue reading Laxmii
Taish
When you can’t really take a side in a story and end up thinking about all those characters, the movie starts to sort of stay in your headspace. The latest Bejoy Nambiar movie Taish that got released as a series in Zee 5 was one such experience. In his usual style, Bejoy cleverly mixes eccentric… Continue reading Taish
