Clubbing the relatable middle-class life of an average Indian with the life of a secret agent was what made Raj and DK’s The Family Man an instant hit among the Indian audience. Well, much like any other show, the emphasis of the new season is to make it bigger and wider, and they have managed… Continue reading The Family Man: Season 2

The Last Hour
The premise of the new Amazon Prime original, The Last Hour, is definitely compelling. The mysticism of the northeast and the supernatural elements make the show look exciting in the beginning. But then it starts to linger onto areas that don’t appeal to or indulge us emotionally. With this dragged nature of the content, I… Continue reading The Last Hour
Without Remorse
When the character Thomas Clay played by Guy Pearce, talks to Michael B Jordan’s John Kelly explaining how a country like the USA needs something like a war to keep its people unified against a common enemy, you sort of realize the dark spaces behind the wars we witness in this world.

Maara
Maara by Dhilip Kumar, the official remake of the 2015 Malayalam movie Charlie, has certain elements that make it a respectable remake. The makers are not trying to create a replica of the original written by Unni R. The restructuring they have given to the story will make it an interesting experience for even the… Continue reading Maara
Coolie No. 1
I agree with the fact that David Dhawan’s films have always had this loud nature in them, and with actors like Govinda, there was a period where that style worked immensely. But the one question that pops up in your head from the very beginning of the brand new version of Coolie No. 1 is… Continue reading Coolie No. 1
