In its 16th season still remains our family favorite. I still remember starting to watch this show years back when my kid was like 6-7 and it’s still a show that just makes us happy!

📺 The Ba***ds of Bollywood (2025) – ★★★☆☆

The first five episodes were good, and the mindless absurd humor meets the mark. The numerous cameos work wonderfully well (seriously is there any Bollywood actor who did not have a cameo in this series?), and the meta references on everything and everyone Bollywood often land, because they are not over explained. Then the series becomes a mess in the last two episodes with a twist that just doesn’t land. Still, I feel like there is a good director in Aryan who really felt he had to prove he could direct any genre. Maybe next time stick to a couple. That said, absolutely fab acting by Karan Johar playing himself, and how good was Arshad Warsi in a hardly 10 minute role but lands it so well that every other cameo looks sub par.

📺 Foundation (2021) – ★★★☆☆

The cleon part was the best part of this finale. Overall what a middling season yet again. It started to get really good and then in true foundation style just kept going nowhere. I really hope next season is last coz this series is not very good right now (nor has it ever been)

📺 Panchayat (2020) – ★★★★☆

S4 was a good watch but it’s clear that the story needs to come to a closure at this point. It’s renewed already for season 5 and I am hoping it’s the last. Still one of the best desi shows on tv.

📺 Long Way Home (2025) – ★★★☆☆

A few good episodes but overall didn’t have the charm of any of the previous seasons and it was obvious they were trying hard to find “unique” things in each country coz most of the ones they visited are already over touristy. The last two episodes were so hurried.
