Constantly learning and documenting.
Every time there is a series centred upon a classic 'heartless' protagonist, I've wondered how much is left to explore in that niche. Everything gets old eventually, isn't it. One day the world had to get tired of heartless characters that actually need therapy but are living super interesting lives and having people fall head... Continue Reading →
I would list out ‘running out of period dramas to watch’ as a legit fear. I love them so much that almost every other form of content seems lacklustre in comparison. And I don’t even distinguish between period dramas – any kind of it will do. Romance, action, fiction, non-fiction, bio-pics, movie, web series, from... Continue Reading →
We’re all web series veterans now with the advent and penetration of OTT in our lives. All of us can pretty much form and express opinions on how web series must be created and what will make them successful in general. And we can guess some aspects that can lead to the downfall of a... Continue Reading →
I ventured into the Bollywood gully after a long time with Gangubai Kathiawadi. The past few years haven’t been Bollywood’s best with the South Indian industry consistently overshadowing the Hindi culture of hyper realism with extremely great scripts and production approaches. But here and there, Bollywood manages to make short-lived comebacks with the likes of... Continue Reading →
I’m never one to shy away from embracing the impact of TV shows or being vulnerable to their plotlines. But I guess we all underestimate the level of impact they can have, especially when it comes to imparting ideas and shaping public opinion over socially important aspects. Not getting into the political end of it... Continue Reading →
Women centric shows with woke, success oriented and romantic themes are naturally and wildly popular. The idea of young women being rebellious, beautiful and successful while living through heartbreaks and love interests in an urban setup is a time tested backdrop for a long web series. Throw in some political references here and there, some... Continue Reading →
The recent holiday movie Love Hard on Netflix derives from a comparatively more modern plot than its counterparts who tend to explore castles and snowy forests for Christmas love stories. Love Hard instead explores a dating app through its lead character played by Nina Dobrev and lands her at the home of a man who... Continue Reading →
It’s the Christmas movies’ season on Netflix and of course, the Vanessa Hudgens trilogy has surfaced with its third part. Now, this is neither a roast of the truly unreasonable plot nor the many clichés that The Princess Switch 3 openly buys into – you’ve probably come across plenty of that already. In fact, from...

Slow, easy flowing and aesthetic period dramas have always been my favourite parts of Netflix. British period dramas are especially likeable and Downton Abbey on Netflix with its six seasons stretching across forty minute long episodes is a dream come true for a lazy viewer. A traditionalist family of an Earl living through the changes... Continue Reading →
Of course I’m taken in by the Money Heist fandom and I’ve written about it before during the previous seasons. Season 5 is around now and all expectations that we had about the story proceeding, action sequences taking off and character arcs developing have seen significant progress; making all of us happy. As much as... Continue Reading →
