Shakunthala Devi – The high and lows of the endearing women never stick to you, thanks to the chokingly tight narrative. This movie has in it the veneer and engulfing quality on par with  Mahanati.  But, just like most of the sickening Maths problem on paper and Shakunthala Devi, whose, God knows, maybe a superpower (  Vidya Kasam )  of calculative intellect those on paper extreme problems, the transition never understandable. You never know the  what s or  why s except for the  when s (there always are the timeline noticing places and years constantly projected on the screen space).   The narrative is feather-light and tight in proceedings that the latching on of the weighted twists, conversations, calculations ( the  real-life  ones) just flies away for a small breeze. This mistake is so grave that your distraction never is a last resort. It’s like openly disclaiming to watch a music video without your earphones plugged in!, cause there isn’t going to be an enriching o

Umamaheshwara Ugraroopasya – A sweet folklore of revenge dealt with a deft touch by the chronicle direction. Venkatesh Maha,  the man who made a debut of which the TFI could be proud of, with just a meagre 44-70 lakh ( it’s INR, not USD), a standard sync sound equipment, 2k camera and a bunch of new or it would be better to call  real  faces. It’s a film where the aesthetics were more costly than the actors in it. The director has already proved that his understanding of the rural world and life is rock solid with his debut film  C/o Kancherapalem (Go! google it, it’s ok). His philosophies are deep with execution dry and light, this balance may have made his debut one of the best  slice of life  movies in recent times and him as one of the best persons to understand the backdrop he operates in recent times. MaheshintePrathikaram,  the Malayalam movie on which this is based on, gets fine treatment with a deft touch by our beloved director . UMUR  might have been an ODI seri

Dil Bechara - Beautifully written and gut-wrenchingly conceived.  The minute touches of narrative and characters contribute very well to the big picture that you might end up sobbing. Before you proceed to read the review, here’s a small point which we want our readers to get notified – This review is only being given by watching  Dil Bechara  as a movie. Nothing more or nothing less. We feel sorry for Sushanth Singh Rajput’s demise, but the pretext of this shouldn’t influence the opinion. It was very difficult for us too in rendering ourselves to that, but we tried.   May his soul rest in peace. Dil Bechara is a beautifully written and gut-wrenchingly conceived bittersweet romantic drama. There is no doubt in that. The minute touches of narrative and characters contribute very well to the big picture that you might end up sobbing – Just like I was. Sushanth’s adorable charisma and Sanghi’s innocence melt up your heart all the way. There is a trigger happy nature in the

There are only a handful of movies which released in OTT only platform since lockdown. Even lesser are the good ones. From Pataal Lok in May to last month's Krishna and his Leela, it'll take more than 10 days for next big OTT release Dil Bechara. Till then here are a few movies and web series we recommend you to watch. Movies Luck by Chance Zoya Akhtar is one of the most admirable auteurs of new-age Bollywood as the genres she blends with elan -  a slice of life®  and  fantasy®,  which are, in a way on the opposite lines of storytelling. The ease with which she masters this act is that it always feels lighter on tone yet  accurately  heavier on its message.   Luck by Chance , the debut film of Zoya, nails this treatment more than any of her further movies (where either lighter tone dominates ( Dil Dhadakne Do, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara ) or the heavier messaging ( Gully boy®)). This is a film about making films (or rather how one is made in an indust
