What I find fascinating about Sex Education is that they are able to add so much into that series by just being observant of the numerous characters. It might have this outlook of being a teen drama where the young ones are trying to differentiate between true love and casual intimacy. But as the story… Continue reading Sex Education: Season 3

Tughlaq Durbar
At its core, Tughlaq Durbar starring Vijay Sethupathi has a very interesting concept. A concept where the hero and the villain are within the same individual. But sadly director Delhi Prasad Deenadayalan has no interest in placing that idea into a better premise. Written at a very basic level, Tughlaq Durbar is a usual movie… Continue reading Tughlaq Durbar
Boomika
In the movie Boomika, there is a sequence where the character Dharman, a local villager who takes care of this old mansion where the movie is set, talks about how he now understands his grandfather’s laughter, which he used to find weird. The editing pattern of that sequence combined with the background score is too… Continue reading Boomika
Navarasa
Like any other anthology that got released during the lockdown, the new one in Netflix presented by Mani Ratnam, Navarasa, is a mixed bag in terms of quality. While the eldest one in the lot, Priyadarshan, came up with the banalest creation, the young gun Karthick Naren impressed me the most with his grip on… Continue reading Navarasa

And it will be fair to say that Mimi is not going to change anything here as the simplistic nature makes the movie more… Continue reading Mimi
Haseen Dillruba
Be it Manmarziyan or Judgmental Hai Kya, the female protagonists in the scripts written by Kanika Dhillon are always on the atypical side. Her new movie, Haseen Dillruba, directed by Hasee Toh Phasee fame Vinil Mathew is also not different in terms of the writing of the female character. Yet again, Kanika uses the opportunity… Continue reading Haseen Dillruba
Ray
Ray, the new Netflix original series based on the short stories of Satyajit Ray, is a mixed bag of 1-hour stories that all looked promising on a premise level but couldn’t really enthrall you in totality. Somewhere I felt there was an urge to create a closure to every story rather than leaving us with… Continue reading Ray
Jagame Thandhiram
Imagine a Quentin Tarrantino movie with that climax bloodshed with all guns blazing, but instead of the usual cowboy, we have a Tamil hero wearing Veshti/Mundu. There is a certain level of appeal to that concept, and maybe one among the reasons why Karthik Subbaraj came up with this gangster thriller idea named Jagame Thandhiram… Continue reading Jagame Thandhiram
