Bol (2011)
Speak Up!
Pakistani cinema does a good work in social drama space.
Mesh of male child perfernece, LGBTQ community and fundamentalist attititude towards life is well portrayed.
Calls out the responsibility of next generation to change the ugly face of society by taking a stand.
Character i liked-
Saifi- acted well. Doesn't understand how to adapt to society, raped by strangers, killed by his own father. Tragic character.
Movies stance on misinterpreted religious texts is well captured. It will continue to hamper humanity if not challenged enough.
Gives a good message on the responsibility of Parenthood.
Zindagi Tamasha (2019)
Zindagi tamasha bani! Black Mirror-Pakistan
Kudos to creative team for dealing with subject of masculinity, patriarchy and religious orthodoxy in one go. Personal is political!
Characters i liked-
Rahat had a stoic presence in the way he dealt with the mayhem around him. He was just being human and enjoying his little delights. Alas! Society thinks otherwise
Son In Law - Such a sweetheart. Mediator between daughter and father. Supported the family without any judgment throughout. World needs more men like this
Being from a neighbouring country, could relate to each and every nuance portrayed in the movie.
Breach of privacy and memefication of someone's personal moments, that's how our society is behaving. Mercilessly, creating stir in one's life.
Appreciate the way LGBTQ community is showcased in many Pakistani dramas. Quite sensitive.
Overall, a must, is you want to watch drama without theatrics!
Sweet Magnolias (2020)
Sermons and Therapy at its best!
Sweet show when you want to believe in the goodness of community and heart.
Every dialogue seems like a sermon from Bible. Adult and teenage themes played well. Just wish, characters were more real then aspirational. If actual men were like it, world will definitely be a better place :)
Women empowerment, male emotions are smoothly carved.
Characters i liked:
Annie-- confidebt gal, trying to outgrow shadow of a strong mother
Ty- Romantic teenager. Saving flowers in a book reminded me of my childhood
Erik - such a cheerleader, gets hurt with unfulfilled love from Helen
Watch it if want a break from crime and high voltage drama!
Panchayat (2020)
Gramin Vatavaran!
Simplicity in each actors emotions
Narrative close to the reality
Impeccable screenplay, kudos to the writer
TVF has best creative team when it comes to such dramas like Pitchers, Permanent Roommates etc.
Raghubir Yadav rocked the show! Good to see him after a long time
Kannum Kannum Kollaiyadithaal (2020)
Con Movie atlast!
Highlights-
Interest in Dulqeer made me watch the movie, no regrets though :)
Paced watch, length could have been shorter with some patches being edited
Creative and screenplay is at its best
Till last moment suspense is maintained
Seems like Bollywood would catch this gem soon as Remake!
Valeria (2020)
Half Baked Adaptation of SATC
Elements were correct, set in Spain.
Independent women but always talking about only relationships, when will this cliche be over?
Give it a pass if have watched SATC religiously, you will end up comparing
Gave chance the characters to evolve but dint happen till end
Stunning locales and people, BTW!
Sex Education (2019)
Must Watch for Young Adults
Good way to fight against the taboo. Educate and empower the youngsters to make life decisions.Role of parent is well demonstrated.
Each teenager has a story which is unique and their dealing is goofy because no one is their to guide. Blind leading a blind situation because parents fail to recognise that they also need to grow up with kids
Unorthodox (2020)
Coax the Orthodox to give freedom!
Highlights:
Ultra Orthodox community insights showcased in detail
In the heartland of most cosmopolitan city, NY, how can one be living a life of Taliban is shown really well
Impressive acting across the characters
Need more gritty women like the protagonist to break the shackles of society
Never Have I Ever (2020)
NRI sneak peak!
Highlights:
Peer Pressure is nicely weaved
Self Image- Important phase where one develops it
Rebel Phase
Indian Parents after their grown ups to get married- One point agenda
Aunties- Everybody's biz is their biz
Importance of Therapy- Everyone needs one :)
Virgin River (2019)
Manage your baggage!
Journey of adulthood can be troubling when one cant let it go!
Your business is your business, kind of attitude is sometime we need before poking and probing people to share their stories.
All characters have a troubling past and this place seems like a recluse.
Community bonding- pros and cons both are shown in this show.
good watch
Hjem til jul (2019)
Hope and Power to Singles!
First time watched a Norwegian series. Interestingly related to most of it, despite of the fact that i live in India. Singles issues are universal :)
Sometimes if one is a good catch, you need a strong one to hold you! At the same time, appreciate what you have in life always was another message delivered.
Good acting across!
Made me curious about Norway, added to my travel destination!
Aykut Eniste (2019)
Its difficult to be simple!
Heart warming movie with ticklish humor. For me its a foreign language movie, but i enjoyed it with the subtitles on Netflix. Need more such movies where people are kind and compassionate and manage their ways in the materialism around.
