🍿 Kill (2024) – ★★★★☆
Holy mother lord this was one adrenalin and testosterone powered absolutely no holds barred action movie. One of those fuck the plot just go for the ride. I did not imagine Bollywood making a movie like this!
📺 Gullak (2019) – ★★★★☆
It’s hard to describe this series. A wonder years style show set in present India but emulating 90s feel and life. This show is so much all at once and so endearing. (And also, very funny!). TVF just keeps belting out terrific shows these days.
📺 Scam 2003: The Telgi Story (2023) – ★★★★☆
A worthy second part on a different scam in India. The acting by lead by absolutely first rate and I honestly couldn’t make out the real guy from actor. Well done series!
📺 The Bear – Season 3 – ★★★☆☆
I wanted to give it 3-1/2 stars. Started off brilliant and then just meandered away through the season. I hope next season is the last because there is nothing left.
📺 [Trying (2020)] Season 4 (https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/98177) – ★★★★★
I can’t wait for season 5 after that cliffhanger!
Bhediya, 2022 – ★★★½
The first ¾ of the movie is so funny.
Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, 2024 – ★★★½
I dont want Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s movies for storytelling, but to see a master visual artist in action. In that department, Heeramandi does not disappoint. Good music & terrific performances except one actor (who was just pathetic). But the visuals are just stunning. Bhansali has an eye for details and staging of a scene, and while some may call it all fake, every frame is like a painting. More than anything else I was awed by the visual artistry of the series and that alone got a couple of stars from me!
Laapataa Ladies, 2023 – ★★★½
Nice slice of life kinda movie but I wish there was a bit more to the movie.
