Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021)
Good watch
A decent action flick, at least with a good storyline. Acting performances are engaging.
The Queen's Gambit (2020)
Chess can be Fun, Chess can be Thrilling
Perhaps the most accurate portrayal of Chess on movie/series.
The makers of this show prove that the thrills of chess can be turned into a masterpiece thriller.
Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story (2020)
This is by far the best Indian web series of all time
I have watched Narcos, House of Cards, The Crown ... tell you what, Scam 1992 stands tall among the best of the best. Hats off to Pratik Gandhi - you deserve an Emmy for Best Actor for this performance. Everything about the 10 episodes are perfect - dialogs, costumes, sets, casting, the acting, the script, lights, sound design ... not a single false note anywhere. Hansal Mehta - you are a genius, your team is a genius. And again, this would have never been possible without the brilliance of all the actors, all the writers - the way all the financial technicalities are captured is just awesome.
Jack Ryan (2018)
Excellent first season, but very disappointing second season
First season was absolutely terrific in action, thrill, performances, storyline, etc. But Season 2 has just suffered from complacense and over confidence. It maybe the Season 2 jinx. Let's hope Season 3 would revive the series.
Normal People (2020)
Brilliantly in-depth Romance
Three words ... Brilliant, Brilliant, Briliant. Normal People is perhaps the most immersive romantic drama that I have ever watched so far. Terrifc performances, wonderful screenplay. Awaiting Season 2.
Extraction (2020)
Thor in Bangladesh: Mindless Action Flick
Basically a mindless action flick. Chris Helmsworth has a Thor hangover, only the cape and hammer is replaced by army fatigues and automatic weapons. Only bang bang kill fest from start to finish, the script writers laughingly try to bring a human side to the superhuman Helmsworth through a very weak sob story, but fail badly. Lucky for all cast, crew and producers that this has avoided a box office flopshow by releasing only online. As a footnote, whoever thought of the giving that awful wig to Randeep Hooda should immediately retire from this business.
The Sinner (2017)
Rating this 10-on-10 based on Season-1
I was very shockingly surprised by the solidity of the screenplay and story line. Each character has been sketched so beautifully. Terrific production values, stellar performances. Hats off.
The Nightingale (2018)
Unbelievably Awesome Gem of a Movie
I came across this little gem this week, brilliant film making. Very bold, very detailed, very humane.
Bornoporichoy: A Grammar of Death (2019)
Absolute waste of a fine actors
This was just a waste of time. Good actors, but awful direction and rubbish script and storyline. This director should be requested from refraining from making any further movies.
The Politician (2019)
Well written political satire
The political satire is very well written. It dwells quite well into the politicians' mindsets and psychology behind all election campaigns. But, the costumes of the characters is a little bit confusing. Do youngsters wear such dresses nowadays?
Apart from that, the screenplay and dialogues are strong enough to pull this show through towards Season 2.
Super 30 (2019)
One of the greatest stories ever told
Hrithik Roshan delivers the greatest performance of his life, Super 30 tells a true story with pure sincerity and passion. Very inspirational and motivational.
Condor (2018)
Very Good, but can be better yet
Plenty of similarities with Homeland, but yet this shines on its own. Good solid story line, good acting ... very well shot. Keeps the spy drama very real.
Trouble with the Curve (2012)
Sports, Drama, Romantic Comedy merged into one
Loved It, Loved It, Loved It ... that's all ... enough said ....
Baazaar (2018)
Very Good: Should have been a Web Series
The only problem of the movie is that it is a movie. So it needed to abide by the movie running time of around 120 minutes. This should have been a web series of at least 8 episodes, this would have allowed detailed exploration of all the characters.
