I was watching a recent interview with Raj and DK, the creators of the latest series Guns and Gulaabs, and one of the things they mentioned about their creative choices was avoiding the obvious. For example, they would choose not to show an antenna setting scene to establish it is the ’90s. The reason why… Continue reading Taali Review | This Underwhelming Biopic Starring Sushmita Sen Is a Wasted Opportunity

Mathagam Part 1 Review | A Discretely Promising Thriller That Shouldn’t Have Got Split
Let me begin by saying I have an issue with the Part 1-Part 2 releasing strategy of some of the Hotstar specials. The problem is that it almost feels like the projector got damaged at the interval of a seemingly exciting thriller, and you will have to wait for months to know what happened after… Continue reading Mathagam Part 1 Review | A Discretely Promising Thriller That Shouldn’t Have Got Split
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. The format of this series is like what if women who belong to the middle class decided to do their own version of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. But after a reasonably jittery… Continue reading Sweet Kaaram Coffee Review | A Loud Self-Discovery Template Saved by Its Feel-Good Nature
The Night Manager: Part 2 Review | A Tidier Screenplay and Tillotama Shome Make the Finale Fairly Engaging
It’s kind of weird to review a series that has only one season with 7 episodes and got split into two parts over a span of almost 5 months. In my review for Part 1 back in February 2023, I mentioned that it felt like watching a thriller inside a theater, and the projector guy… Continue reading The Night Manager: Part 2 Review | A Tidier Screenplay and Tillotama Shome Make the Finale Fairly Engaging

School of Lies Review | A Deeply Unsettling Drama With Brilliantly Etched Characters
School of Lies from Avinash Arun has this eerie vibe of a mystery thriller in the beginning portions. But as the series progresses, we are, in a way exploring the numerous shades of the title of the series. The shock we feel is not really about what happened to a particular individual. It’s more about… Continue reading School of Lies Review | A Deeply Unsettling Drama With Brilliantly Etched Characters
