Watching it for the 2nd time but still it gave me the same stomach churning awful feeling. The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas is one of those movies which is bound to either make you cry or leave in a numb state of silence. This has to be the most dreadful depiction of Holocaust writtenContinue reading “The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas Review”

Project Hail Mary Review
A masterpiece! The bond between Dr. Grace played by Ryan Gosling and the alien Rocky is absolutely endearing, bound to make you cry (at least I did). Brilliant cinematography and the vfx shots are mind baffling ❤

Dhurandhar 1 & 2 Review
After watching both the parts I realised even propaganda can be sold and fed to the audience if wrapped in a wrapper of somewhat well crafted filmmaking and engaging performances by the actors. Things I didn’t like : 1. One sided narrative. 2. Propaganda, propaganda & propaganda 3. Rubbish facts stuffed in the name ofContinue reading “Dhurandhar 1 & 2 Review”

Mismatched Web Series Review
At the heart of the Netflix series Mismatched it’s a cute love story. However, it would have been a much better experience had it explored the peripheral storylines. Mismatched comes at a time when we were craving the warm embrace of familiarity.
