The Indrani Mukerjea Story: Buried Truth (2024)

Narcissistic, Manipulative and a Devil

[7/10 · 18 March 2024]

Her eyes narrated the reality, she is a murderer. It really freaks me out imagining a women who was also a mother of 3, on a kill streak and now a lier. Her driver never lied, she did it and kept it under the table with all her influence in 2012.

A typical red flag, don't know how people couldn't see what was coming to them. Lied about her father being a rapist, lied about her relationship with her kids forcing them to call her elder sister. She was a gold digger, manipulative achiever who killed her own blood, her relationship to be relevant.

Wish they drag her back to the jail and let her rot there!

Teenage Bounty Hunters (2020)

Did I miss something?

[6/10 · 18 February 2024]

Read some where it takes to reach 3rd episode, before understanding the story or plot. Currently in 6th still cannot figure out whats going on. Started with an expectation of teenage action story but they are still fixing their relationship and "sex" dilemma.

Few interesting bounties in the first few episodes but then they lost it all. Story is based on Christianity - the school, the virginity dilemma, sorry but this story is not for audience like me.

Either change the name of the title, I started watching the series with an expectation of action thriller with a bit of pinch of teenager story but missed it by a metre.

Blue Lock (2022– )

Rated 7.5 but feel sometimes they have overdone it.

[7/10 · 13 February 2023]

Started watching the anime beacuse of the game "Football", a great start to the series. Story is crunchy and well written but what bothers me is the part where they overdo before a crucial pass or goal. I understand it's needed for character's flashback and build-up but not necessarily needed everytime. The self motivation stories, flashbacks, dialogues, common none of the professionals do that before scoring a goal. It breaks the concentration of the viewers.

Episode 18 and still the same thing happening. Anyways will continue to watch this series till it really starts bothering me with the repeated pattern of flashbacks before every crucial moment.

Dragon's Dogma (2020)

Failed miserably

[5/10 · 20 September 2020]

The game was far better than this mini series. The ending could have been written in a better way. Really disappointed at the end. Animation.. I don't mind, not a big fan of 2D or 3D, unless story is well narrated. This needed a better edit and narration, felt like story jumped a whole timeline to end quickly.

Possible play the game. It makes more sense.

Malang (2020)

Free spirited one time watch

[6/10 · 15 May 2020]

It's a one time watch worth movie, atleast if you are bored and nothing left to watch you can re watch it. Story is decent, the same love story with a murder plot and redemption. Songs are good, this is Anil Kapoor and Kunal Khemu's show. Second half is brilliant thanks to Kunal, and wait for the climax and post credit/mod credit scene.

Aerials (2016)

What in the name of movie was it?

[1/10 · 15 May 2020]

Probably the worst movie ever made. Do I get an option of 0 star? I would love one. And Netflix promoting this?

Ragnarok (2020–2023)

Why so over hyped?

[5/10 · 4 April 2020]

I don't get why people are going gaga over this show. I watched it in the original Norwegian language with English subtitles to get the feel yet something was missing. Yes the story.

Spent 6 episodes where the main character losses his best friend, the whole town thinks him to be brain damaged and some kid who kills a dog. And this Thor is busy fighting against corruption and industrial chemicals. We already have Climate activists for that, we don't mythological God doing that in some wierd way. And yes the person playing this character is no where similar to Thor, he should be playing Superman.

One word : Over hyped. I rated it 5 stars.

Lost in Space (2018–2021)

Never getting tired.

[7/10 · 15 January 2020]

So, Season 1 got me hooked for almost 10 hours. Binge watched it straight away. Season 2 dropped in, can be rated 6.5/10. The same old story where neither of the Robinsons ever get tired. I mean how can there be such a series of events where neither of the main characters are ever free or having some good time. Takes Scarecrow to get healed, could have ended well, but no it was necessary for the producers to kill someone and turn the scarecrow against the humans. Common, be it 30+ years ahead of us, no human being can beer such a stress and energy to tackle for continuous 50 mins per episode.

In short its Robinsons vs whole galaxy. Season 2 is good but could have been better.

Ghost Hunt (2006–2007)

Worth keeping in your watchlist

[9/10 · 21 December 2019]

I have been a big manga\anime fan since childhood and I recommend this anime to someone who wants to watch something in horror genre. You can't compare this to Death Note but yes, this can be added along with High School of the dead and Ghost stories. This show has 2-3 mind bending episodes or cases I should say, where you ultimately end saying "f dude". So, thumbs up from me.

How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) (2019– )

A perfect binge.

[9/10 · 4 June 2019]

Just completed the 6 episodes in a row. Its a perfect german comedy saga. Go for it if you need a break from serious genre series.

Chambers (2019)

Slow burner but it keeps you stuck to your seat

[8/10 · 28 April 2019]

People complaining that its a slow burner, guys it takes some time to build a story. Never been a fan of slow burners, but this show changed my choice. It's a nail biting show, with twists at any point of time, episodes end at a point where it makes you think what happens next. Slow at start, but gains pace with the episodes. Just now completed ep8, and it plays with your mind. Just loved this episode. If you love watching series, this one will be a great choice.

Mirzapur (2018– )

A different story in the crime genre

[10/10 · 16 November 2018]

I found some reviews with people complaining about violence, guys its not a family drama. Crime comes with violence, people breaking laws and sadly it hsows the truth of Indian politics and power. I rate 10 Mirzapur, because it comes witha different story and taste in the same genre.
