Anjaan: Special Crimes Unit (2018– )

Best Indian horror and police procedural show

[10/10 · 29 March 2024]

What an amazing show it was. Pissed off that season 2 is yet to be released. When will you release season 2? After you built the whole universe in detail. Don't keep your viewers in lurch after its becoming popular on discovery Plus. We demand a season 2 with same set of writers, directors and actors.

The series is amazing. Stories are fresh and realistic. Series is rare in Indian TV history. You don't get to see these quality shows anymore.

Discovery must revive this show. Good horror shows plus investigative shows are a rarely tracked genre in Hindi TV industry. This one was amazingly made engrossing etc.

Monstrous (2022)

Time waste movie

[1/10 · 17 March 2024]

Movie tried to depict lord Buddha negatively.. Probably inspired by some rice bag convert to Christianity who wanted to show lord Buddha in negative light. That's how Christianity operates.. The story itself is ridiculous, acting is dull and doesn't make any sense. Randomly making stories without notification or logic isn't a good watch.

However, the show's decision to depict a Buddhist statue as a vessel for malevolence raises significant concerns regarding cultural respect and sensitivity. This choice not only oversimplifies but potentially misrepresents the profound and respectful place Buddhist symbols hold in many people's lives. The premise, while intriguing, leans heavily into clichés and sensationalism at the expense of depth and nuance. The portrayal of religious artifacts as containers of evil is a trope that has been explored in various forms of media, but it requires a delicate balance to avoid cultural insensitivity. Unfortunately, this misses the mark, offering a narrative that can be perceived as disrespectful to those who hold these symbols dear.

Panchayat (2020– )

The best that Indian TV has to offer

[10/10 · 21 May 2022]

It's amongst the best TV shows I've ever watched. Just wow 😍😍 to say anything superlative would be to downgrade this TV show. It's just the best. Thank you tvf and thank you everyone.

Gehraiyaan (2022)

Crass movie - headache inducing

[1/10 · 31 March 2022]

This movie is so garbage bin that municipality will be needed to remove that much garbage. Avoid this crap at all cost. If someone wants to torture you, he will show you this movie.

Bachchhan Paandey (2022)

Such a headache inducing movie

[1/10 · 18 March 2022]

So much loud annoying bgm, cringy acting, story is non existent, very bad copy movie. You guys don't even know how to make copy of a copy of a Korean movie ..

Machhli Jal Ki Rani Hai (2014)

First movie to show Swara ji without makeup

[1/10 · 16 March 2022]

This is a landmark movie. It's the first movie to show Swara Bhaskar without makeup and without software filters. She looks as real as it gets though I've heard her heart is even better looking.

Haider (2014)

Propaganda movie against Hindus

[1/10 · 15 March 2022]

This movie is hateful propaganda against Hindus in general. That much is clear after watching it. Genocide of Hindus is hidden and Hindus are treated as Devils in the movie.

The Kashmir Files (2022)

The Kashmir Files is an experience you have to be ready for

[10/10 · 11 March 2022]

Wow! You can't watch this movie, you can live this movie and cry for the movie 😢😢 This is an exercise in the two extremes of humanity- extreme hatred and extreme hope.

Rocket Boys (2022– )

Highlight of Jim Sarbh career

[10/10 · 5 February 2022]

I think this maybe breakthrough performance of Jim Sarbh. I was hooked from the start when I almost randomly clicked on this show and it started playing.

Goodachari (2018)

Criminally understated edge of seat thriller

[10/10 · 23 June 2021]

You won't believe this is an Indian spy movie. The quality of everything is top notch!!

The Man from Earth (2007)

This is amongst the best 5 movies of all time across time space genres

[10/10 · 21 March 2021]

No action no graphics, only story and performance. Cinema at its finest.

The Man from Earth: Holocene (2017)

From the best to the worst movie, John Oldman has seen it all

[1/10 · 21 March 2021]

This movie shouldn't have been made. The son of Jerome Bixby disrespected his father by making a movie sequel of a masterpiece which was originally made over three decades. And the movie clearly shows the difference between the writings of three decades and that of a year.

Home Before Dark (2020– )

Best Apple Plus TV show

[10/10 · 25 January 2021]

I really loved the show, its direction, approach etc. Just enjoy.

Dil Bechara (2020)

Masterpiece and a classic by underrated Sushant!!

[10/10 · 25 July 2020]

Must watch movie for the nuanced performance by Sushant Singh.

Stargirl (2020–2022)

The first episode felt like a movie

[10/10 · 19 May 2020]

Amazing tv show with solid developed narrative and character

It is a show I could binge upon..

Bhoot: Part One - The Haunted Ship (2020)

This movie isn't a classic but better than the reviews suggest

[8/10 · 21 February 2020]

This is a nice Horror movie. Vicky Kaushal is great as usual. Its not perfect or great, the script could have been better. It could have realized less on jump scares

Watchmen (2019)

Must watch TV show this season

[10/10 · 21 October 2019]

The opening was just amazing. Must watch the whole series. Impressive sets, cast and storyline is the best one.

Sherlock Holmes: The Case of the Greystone Inscription (1955) Season 1, Episode 16

Great actors but what happened to the fiancee

[7/10 · 5 September 2019]

The central plot was unresolved ie the missing fiancee wasn't shown

Bones: The Doctor in the Photo (2010) Season 6, Episode 9

This episode was so deep and real

[10/10 · 12 August 2019]

The whole episode fell like a commentary on modern Urban life. So much depth and honestly felt very troubling in a genuine way. Such episodes are rare on crime shows. Just genuinely amazing and terrifying!

Bones: The Baby in the Bough (2008) Season 3, Episode 12

Great episode, very inappropriate music at the beginning

[4/10 · 11 August 2019]

When the two cops are handling the baby as his mother has been murdered, how can the music be so chirpy? Literally the mother's dead body is next to them and they are laughing and joking about the body? That felt very inappropriate, unrealistic and insensitive. The writing and music here was poor.

Swamp Thing (2019)

Probably the best DC show and far exceeds most comics TV show

[10/10 · 2 August 2019]

Had a treat watching this gem. Story characters motivations everything well developed. Focus on story but great setup and special effects practical effects. Looks better than most movies in fact!!

The Worst Witch: Ethel Hallow to the Rescue part 1 (2019) Season 3, Episode 12

Better episode

[10/10 · 28 July 2019]

Some character development for Ethel was nice to see. Overall tone of the episode felt better and more real.

Kalank (2019)

Torturous movie

[1/10 · 18 April 2019]

This movie is an exercise in metal torture. Only the sets are good, rest is there to torture your endlessly.

Raatchasan (2018)

Haunting, Intense, Best thriller Indian movie

[10/10 · 26 December 2018]

This is amongst the best thriller movie to come out of India. Period.

Now I'll rant a little. I'm a Hindi speaker. Why can't bollywood make even close to such movies. Nepotism and Khan kapur nexus has destroyed our movie industry!!
