Guns & Gulaabs Review | Despite the Initial Sluggishness, Raj and DK Manage to Land Their Black Comedy Smoothly

Unlike the other creations of Raj & DK, their first collaboration with Netflix, Guns & Gulaabs, takes way too much time to enter that space which you generally associate with their creations. For almost the first 4 episodes of the series, my expectations about the series were going down as the narrative felt very disjoint… Continue reading Guns & Gulaabs Review | Despite the Initial Sluggishness, Raj and DK Manage to Land Their Black Comedy Smoothly

Sweet Kaaram Coffee Review | A Loud Self-Discovery Template Saved by Its Feel-Good Nature

Sweet Kaaram Coffee, the new Amazon Prime Video original series created by Reshma Ghatala, has a very unnuanced style in the beginning portions.

Kerala Crime Files Review | A Flat and Stretched-Out Thriller With Commendable Visuals

The one-liner description of the first Disney+ Hotstar Malayalam web series Kerala Crime Files is fascinating. A murder happens in a lodge, and the only clue the police have is a fake address. But barring the cinematography that uses colors and lensing to create a visual impact, the overall packaging of this web series from… Continue reading Kerala Crime Files Review | A Flat and Stretched-Out Thriller With Commendable Visuals
