Maharani 3 Review | A Middling Political Drama With an Interestingly Poised Central Character
Maharani 3, the third season of SonyLIV’s political thriller, shows the character’s progression, and in this season, we have the character in a more mature and commanding position.

Killer Soup by Abhishek Chaubey is a fascinating black comedy that succeeded really well in establishing its absurdity. When your main theme has to do something with the existence of a doppelganger, it is quite possible to get dragged into the criticism of being illogical.

P I Meena, the new Amazon Prime Video series, has 8 episodes, and the series was pretty engaging in the first 7 episodes as the curiosity behind the mystery was there till that point.
