Shehar Lakhot (2023– )

Good plot and performances, but drags in the beginning

[8/10 · 11 December 2023]

The first 3-4 episodes are very slow, they feel very dragged and it is hard to be invested as the series doesn't make it apparent as to what it is actually about. The show could have definitely been shortened. It is not super unique but definitely worth a watch. The different storylines and characters seem random at first, and there is no real crime or crisis for viewers to care about.

It gradually becomes more engaging as the real plot uncovers. The characters are quite interesting, but tragic. It's a very hopeless melancholic story but with lighthearted, real and funny moments in between which feels refreshing.

The Archies (2023)

Only to introduce actors, bad music, very boring

[3/10 · 8 December 2023]

The moment this movie started, it was hard to sit through it. I had to mute at times to get through because all the songs are really bad. The plot is expected, the characters very one-tone, dialogues cliche and their delivery even worse. It was very obvious that the movie is focusing on introducing new actors to the audience and there isn't much else.

Some Positives:

1. The characters' hairstyles and accessories are fun to look at, the wardrobe and sets are nice.

2. Females show true friendship instead of envy, which was refreshing.

3. The music is not good but the dances and choreography are fantastic.
