Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga – Movie Review

ek ladki sonam kapoor rajkumar rao

I really wanted to watch this film since I saw the trailer. Not because of the star-cast (which is no doubt impressive) but because I really wanted to see how the subject of homosexuality will be handled in this new era of Hindi Cinema. I sincerely believe we have moved far ahead of the mockery that was shown in Dostana. Unfortunately, when it comes to Ek Ladki Ko Dekha..., the idea of creating a new-age romance that transcends boundaries was possibly limited to the creator's vision. It never gets translated into the actual film. So Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga is a massive opportunity gone lost. It will only be a spot even when it had the opportunity to paint the entire canvas, for generations to admire. ...  More

Manmarziyaan Movie Review

Manmarziyaan Abhishek Bachchan Tapsee Pannu

Manmarziyaan continues Anurag Kashyap's 2.0 journey into mainstream Hindi cinema. Though he had a forgettable start to it with Bombay Velvet, I remained optimistic. To be fair, Bombay Velvet was still very much in Kashyap's domain. There was a retro setting, underworld and struggle for power. Those are all the things, Kashyap excels in. When he was not able to deliver a good film with that setting, many would have doubted Kashyap's multi-dimensional ability. However, this time he is experimenting with a completely new genre and seems in a good enough form to prove his point. ...  More

13 Reasons Why Season 2 Review

13 reasons why season 2

13 Reasons Why season 1 took the entertainment world by storm. Immediately upon its release, this was all anybody was talking about. A key aspect of the debate was, whether the show glorifies suicide or not. In my opinion, it does not. I loved the first season but was confused when it ended the way it did. I was really hoping for closure. It was also confusing because I was not completely sure why they would want to use a complete season to show the trial. This show is not a courtroom drama, and I really did not want it to become one. Now that I have close to binge-watched the second season, I can say I am more than satisfied with the result. ...  More

Sanju Movie Review

Sanju Poster

Sanju, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, is one of the most anticipated films of 2018. It hit theatres on 29th June and by the time I saw it on 30th June, the film had already collected over 34 crores at the box office. This is the biggest opening of Ranbir's career and he really needed this. Alas! if only collections could measure the strength of a film. Ranbir's biggest opening before this was Besharam, and it was horrible. Thankfully, Sanju is not a bad film, but it is far from Rajkumar Hirani's best. Very-very far. ...  More

Goliath Season 2 Review

Goliath season 2 BIlly Bob Thronton

Goliath, now in its sophomore season, continues the story Billy McBride, played by the exceptional Billy Bob Thornton. In season 1, Billy was shown as a big shot lawyer who was ousted from his own firm 'Cooperman McBride' many years ago. Now, he is a drunk, and living in a motel. The entire season 1 (8 episodes) had him taking on a corporate wrongdoing case against the firm he founded.  It was a true David vs Goliath story. Billy Bob Thornton gave an award-winning (Best Actor, Golden Globes 2017) performance and made for total binge-worthy viewing. ...  More
