There’s something deeply unsettling about Defending Jacob, and the smartest thing the show does is that it never allows you the comfort of certainty. Eight episodes in, you’re still sitting there staring at the screen like an exhausted member of the Barber family thinking, “Okay… but did this child actually do it or not?” IContinue reading “Defending Jacob: Apple TV, Review”

Michael 2026 biopic, Review
I’ll admit it—I didn’t walk into Michael with glittering gloves of anticipation. In fact, I went in with mild curiosity at best. But then came the Instagram avalanche. Reels, reactions, people moonwalking in multiplex aisles (slightly concerning, but also impressive). The kind of frenzy that makes you think, “Okay, what am I missing?” So, oneContinue reading “Michael 2026 biopic, Review”
Unchosen, Netflix Review
If there’s one thing streaming platforms have taught us, it’s this: if a group of people lives in a remote commune, wears muted clothing, and speaks in calm, measured tones… run. Or at the very least, press play. That’s exactly the uneasy allure of The Unchosen—a show that pulls you into the deceptively serene worldContinue reading “Unchosen, Netflix Review”
Beef Season 2, Netflix Review: Too Many Flavours, Not Enough Dish
So yes, like most people, I’d heard the noise. Season 1 of Beef was supposed to be brilliant. Sharp. Uncomfortable. Award-winning chaos. So naturally, when Season 2 dropped on Netflix, I went in expecting something equally tight, maybe even better. What I got instead… was a very expensive, very glossy, very confusing buffet of drama.Continue reading “Beef Season 2, Netflix Review: Too Many Flavours, Not Enough Dish”
Tu Yaa Main-Movie Review (Netflix)
So I finally watched Tu Yaa Main on Netflix—after seeing it all over social media and mentally bookmarking it as “I’ll get to it eventually.” Also, I’ll admit, I went in with a slight bias. The male lead, Adarsh Gourav, has been a favourite ever since The White Tiger. So there was already some goodwillContinue reading “Tu Yaa Main-Movie Review (Netflix)”
Matka King, Season 1 review : Amazon Prime
If ambition had a background score, Matka King would be playing it on loop—loud, slightly chaotic, and impossible to ignore. Streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Matka King dives into the murky, number-driven underbelly of Mumbai’s gambling scene, loosely inspired by the real-life figure Ratan Khatri. But don’t walk in expecting a clean biopic. This one’sContinue reading “Matka King, Season 1 review : Amazon Prime”
Backstroke (2017), Short Film Movie Review
If you like your thrillers neat, explained, and wrapped up with a bow… Backstroke is not here for you. This one prefers to leave you floating in the deep end, wondering what just brushed past your leg. At first glance, it’s deceptively simple: a bunch of teenagers steal a car (because nothing good in cinemaContinue reading “Backstroke (2017), Short Film Movie Review”
Dhurandhar : Netflix Review
I watched Dhurandhar very, very late — the kind of late where the trailers have aged like milk and every second person on your timeline has already declared it the “best thriller ever” or “commercial cinema at its peak.” By the time I finally hit play, I was certain the movie would underdeliver. After all,Continue reading “Dhurandhar : Netflix Review”
Vash Level 2 : Netflix Review
Vash Level 2 doesn’t scream for attention. It creeps into it. And that, honestly, is its biggest strength. Firmly positioned as a horror-thriller, the film operates in the uncomfortable space between fear and fascination. This is not horror that relies on cheap shocks or excessive gore. Instead, it leans into psychological dread, control, and moralContinue reading “Vash Level 2 : Netflix Review”
Haq, Netflix Movie Review
I was drawn to Haq for reasons that went beyond curiosity. When voices like Alia Bhatt praise a performance, you pause. When that performance belongs to Yami Gautam, you lean in. She appears far too sparingly on screen, but whenever she does, there’s an unmistakable sense that you’re watching a rare, deeply intuitive actor atContinue reading “Haq, Netflix Movie Review”
