Made of movies, books and literature. Occasionally there's a penchant for social commentary.
The title evokes a lot of curiosity. I assumed that 'The anatomy of a scandal' on Netflix would be an insane thriller with a whole lot of minute details that leave space for intelligent guesswork and shocking twists throughout. But this six episode limited series does not reach those expectations. That being said, it's not... Continue Reading →
If you’d like to read my former article about Manifest series written before the final season was released, its here. I’d waited patiently for the finale, because Manifest is one of the series I got really, really invested in. I’ve explained the why of it in the above mentioned article. All the questions that had...

There’s an unmatched feeling of cosiness that small towns bring, that makes me want more and more seasons of the series that centres on it. A small community where everyone knows everyone, they love, fight and feel at home is a warm feeling of belonging that seems to diffuse into me through my screen. ‘Anne... Continue Reading →

I don’t even get bored of the sub-plots and... Continue Reading →

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 →
Stranger Things on Netflix is approaching its finale in 2025. Here's a recap of what we loved in the last four seasons.
The review discusses "Gangubai Kathiawadi," a film by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, highlighting its portrayal of the struggles faced by women in prostitution. Despite Bollywood's recent challenges, the film offers a powerful and significant story about resilience and fight for dignity, supported by Alia Bhatt's praised performance. It emphasizes the necessity of such narratives.
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 →
