I found the pilot episode to be really good. I expected less but got more. I am not a fan of the Marvel universe. But i enjoy its movies, or rather some of them. I liked the Avengers. Anyways, this show seems to draw on a lot of points from that movie and the Marvel superhero universe. It tells the stories and adventures of the unsung behind the scene heroes of the organization Shield. And it is very well told, with lots of action, lots of special effects and humor and drama. Even if this show was not good, it would still run for years based on the fanbase Marvel enjoys. But i found this show to be quite good, so this is certainly the start of a long relationship with Shield, that we as an audience are gonna have. Hopefully as with most TV series, this too gets better in the future episodes and there is more character bonding. For those who did not like it, I guess you are just anti-Marvel universe, in which case you probably did not like Avengers and wont like anything else Marvel offers in the future, so best to stay away from anything they offer.

Chennai Express
(2013)
The most successful in Bollywood...for a reason!
11 September 2013
This film went on to become the most successful Hindi film ever made!! Why is that? Is it just Shahrukh Khans super-stardom that brought people into the cinemas? Or was it Rohit Shetty's brand of films that got people in? Well, the answer is that it was the right mix of both. These two people have come together for the first time and combined Romance and Comedy in just the right doses with a side dish of a couple of action scenes, and they have hit the jackpot!! The audience has been enthralled and entertained...And that is why it has done the business that it has. Complete family entertainment...Leave your brains and logic at home and don't expect any social messages please. Just relax and enjoy and walk out of the cinema for this one. I know many people have their opinion that it is a masala film and they are right. It is a masala entertainer. But so are most of the successful films in Hindi cinema history with the exception of a handful. I consider this movie a must watch for the simple reason that you shall experience the true slice of Bollywood style in this one. Laugh and cry and be entertained, like the entire country has been...As a dialogue in the movie famously goes "Don't underestimate the power of a common man!" And the common man has spoken! Complete family Bollywood entertainer!
