Thinkistan (2019)
Excellent storyline & dialogues, but
10 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The story is powerful as it flows from first hand experience of writer/director Paddy who is an ad industry veteran. Very gripping and real totally binge watchable .

But a few niggles are 1) too much screen time to Hema rather than Amit (possibly because Hema character appears a bit autobiographical... just a guess ) 2) Sets and production design not period appropriate (partly due to budget constraints and sometimes just oversight... eg there were hardly any ATMs in 1996, lights on marine drive were different, clothes designs were more baggy, Amit's Bhopal accent not very accurate etc etc) But this is nit picking . The core story is very strong, detailed characterisation and real understanding of ad industry which keeps viewers hooked . So overall still 10/10.
