Ishk Par Zor Nahi (2021)
Watch Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon season 1
To understand why this show was just a very sad attempt to copy or recreate the magic of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon season 1 starring Barun Sobti and Sanaya Irani,just watch IPK 1. You can't just copy a classic like IPK 1 esp with such a bad script. No wonder IPZN went off air. The chemistry between Barun Sobti and Sanaya Irani was like a house on fire. The script was so well written with so many parallel stories running simultaneously. IPK 1 stayed away from this cliched toxic evil saas drama,infact the the supposed evil saas was portrayed in such a hilarious manner that Manorama Mami became one of the favorites. All this magic happened because the script had depth and efficiency. Arnav and Khushi aka LaadGovernor and SaankaDevi were immortalized by their fans and has one the biggest fan fiction culture.
Panchayat (2020)
It's TVF...naam hi kaaphi hai.
You can't afford to miss this masterpiece. Organic,genuine,beautifuly and very intelligently written,as usual TVF stays away from commercial cliches and pressures,great talents,relatble to majority of Indians,Strangely TVF webseries aren't shallow or superficial,neither are they hard-hitting. They have managed to create their own niche which is synonymous with comfort like a afternoon nap or evening adrak elachi tea. It's rare,simplistic and peaceful. No other brand can deliver you this except for TVF.
Gehraiyaan (2022)
Arghhhhhh
Meh!!!!!....Slogfest. I won't waste my time writing a detailed review for this because I lost my interest during the first half. The trailer itself was a warning but I still thought of watching it for Siddhant Chaturvedi but I just couldn't. There was nothing in the script or acting that stood out.
The Empire (2021)
White washing history.
Distorted version of history to propagate their own political ideology. This won't work anymore. Two stars for real gems of this series,Dino Morea and Drashti Dhami. Both of them did complete justice to Shaybani Khan and Khanzada Begum.
Mimi (2021)
I really liked it...that's about it.
American actors weren't shown in the usual caricaturish Bollywood manner. Good actors,a well written script,good direction...a decent movie.
14 Phere (2021)
Fun,quirky and decently written.
Would definitely recommend it as a one time watch.
The Family Man (2019)
It's Family Man yaar...naam hi kaphi hai.
If you haven't seen Family Man yet....crawl back under the rock you were living.
Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar (2021)
Arjun and Parineeti weren't convincing.
Sandeep and Pinky Faraar could have been one the classiest thrillers if Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra hadn't been the lead protagonists. I loved the direction,the script...very nuanced,it's just the performance which was very off-putting. Jaydeep Alhawat was as usual brilliant. This movie was meant for the OTT audience,should have taken OTT actors as well.
Pagglait (2021)
Not worth it.
Average at best,nothing that that we haven't seen before.
The Great Indian Dysfunctional Family (2018)
I just loved it is all I wanna say.
Kay Kay Menon was just phenomenal in this webseries...charming,witty,quirky...OMG...Infact every actor did exceptionally well..unfortunately it wasn't Barun Sobti's finest performance. I am huge admirer of Barun's work so I would commend him for always choosing just ingenious projects. From direction to screenplay to script....every aspect was executed with so much finesse. But I do want to add that the person in charge of background score "DESTROYED" the whole experience. I still can't believe this is an Ekta Kapoor product...Yes offense.
Tu Hai Mera Sunday (2016)
Heart warming.
I feel ashamed to say that I missed such a classic movie back in 2017, watched this movie in 2020 on Netflix. Since then I have made sure everyone in my family and friends do watch this gem. It's my all time favourite,and today's day and age with the advent of OTT where we honestly can't complain that there is no good content,but I still miss a simple,authentic and endearing movie like Tu Hai Mera Sunday. The biggest element in this movie was the city Mumbai. Two pillars of strength of the movie is it's stellar casting and script.
Ghost (2019)
Why Sanaya....Why.
It's a horrible movie.Sanaya shouldn't have spoilt here credibility by doing something so cringey.
Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story (2020)
One of the finest piece of work made in India.
I can't stop raving about it.Anyone who hasn't seen it yet is either stupid or living in a hole.
The Girl on the Train (2021)
Watch the original Hollywood version.
Over The Top acting and execution is not meant for OTT,it's meant for mainstream Bollywood masala.Before entering Web,mainstream Bollywood actors should go through some sort of an orientation.Atleast basic difference between acting and overacting.
Gullak (2019)
TVF has done it again.
After a very long time a series made me feel a mixed bag of emotions.I absolutely loved it.
Asur: Welcome to Your Dark Side (2020)
Don't believe the negative reviews,watch it yourself and use your own judgement.
I saw a lot of comments and came to a conclusion that a lot of people are wannabe critiques.I mean there were some flaws in Sacred Games too,doesn't mean I wouldn't watch it again or recommend it.I myself judge a show or a movie on the basis of simple parameters..i.e Concept,script and performances.I found Asur exceptionally good,sure there were some flaws but the good stuff outweighs the dull moments.Like a lot of people in the comment section I too can delve into the the aspects which makes this show amazing,but I don't want to do that...All I urge people is to watch the show and use your own judgement.But I would like to point out that I was both shocked and amused to read some comments who critiqued Barun Sobti's performance.The only few logical explanations I can draw out of that is either they are biased and paid, or they are the kind of people who prefer massy over classy for eg Ali Fiazal fans from Mirzapur or that they are just plain dumb.Barun Sobti's performance was flawless.Infact it was his performance as Nikhil Nair and Vishesh Bansal's performance as Shubh which really defined the show.
