Inspector Rishi Review | A Mystical Crime Thriller With Occasional Sparks
Inspector Rishi, the latest Amazon Prime Video original series by JS Nandhini, is an attempt to blend facts with myth to create an intriguing thriller.

When you finish watching something like Laurie Nunn’s Sex Education, which spans multiple seasons, it is kind of possible to wish to see something of that sort in an Indian backdrop.

Karmma Calling Review | A Flat Thriller That Feels More Like a Glorified Daily Soap
The new Hotstar original Karmma Calling, directed by Ruchi Narain, based on the ABC original Revenge, feels more like a daily soap you see on these main TV channels rather than a nuanced thriller that can captivate you with its plot development. With almost every character being so unreal on screen, this blend of posh… Continue reading Karmma Calling Review | A Flat Thriller That Feels More Like a Glorified Daily Soap
Indian Police Force Review | Rohit Shetty’s Bland OTT Debut Is Literally and Figuratively Sore to the Eyes
Rohit Shetty’s movies are not known for being subtle or nuanced. He himself has said in interviews that he wants to entertain the single-screen audience, and he doesn’t care about critics. Even though he has repeated the same thing over and over again in his films, I was curious to know how he would approach… Continue reading Indian Police Force Review | Rohit Shetty’s Bland OTT Debut Is Literally and Figuratively Sore to the Eyes
