Yellowstone (2018)
Expensive soap with many plot holes
Production is great, some acting is good, and lovely set but it ain't a great show. At best an expensive soap, where characters keep coming and disappearing without much logical explanation. Every season some villains will show up as most sophisticated powerful investor and then turn into a loose mafia and then after plenty of shooting just disappear or killed. There will not be any follow up or whatever. And life on Yellowstone will continue as usual as if nothing has happened. Then in Season 4, the grandson and Kacey's wife have not shown up (i am at episode 3) so far, not even a sungle mention - I wonder why.
I think the scriptwriters wrote this while smoking.
The Wedding Guest (2018)
A travel thriller - do not believe the rating
It is a 7+. Loved it. Simple yet thrilling. Dry but still romantic. Amazing acting. Travel across pakistan and india. Watch it.
Your Honor (2020)
Plot full of holes - started as A1 show but then devolved into a C grade one
First two episodes were amazingly made but then weak script and a plot full of holes took over. The plot has gaping holes, key characters became absurd... not worth watching.
Killing Eve (2018)
Season 1 - is it a spy thriller or a soap?
There was a time the imdb rating 8+ used be a sure shot must watch. But not anymore. I am not sure why there are so many b-grade shows with such high imdb ratings.
This one is not exactly a b-grade show but not far from that either. Good production value but plot is weak and has many cliches. One thing for sure it is rather a soap than a spy thriller. If you are going after a killer and when you come face to face - what would you do? Kill that person or let her go to catch her again?
Really annoying to watch.
Breathe: Into the Shadows (2020)
Pathetic acting and even worse direction
A rating of 7.9 rating shows either Indians are starved to watch hindi thriller or do not understand what a good tv series should be. Abhishek Bachchan may be a good person but he is an epitome of nepotism in Bollywood - the poor chap is as good an actor as Rahul Gandhi is a politician - both of them being trained for their traits for the last 15 years but, alas, leopard cannot change its spots.
Story is bad, script is worse. None of the actors have performed well. Music is annoying and childish.
Bulbbul (2020)
Great movie, excellent acting and almost great directing
Surprised to see below 7 start rating. This was one of the best horror movies I have watched. Both Tripti Dimri and Rahul Bose performed really well. Her smile as the witch charming yet haunting. There is no loud music and sudden creepy scene but still scary. Absolutely a must watch!
Mayanagari - City of Dreams (2019)
kukunoor should stop directing
Kukunoor's capability limits are quite apparent here. He directs movie like a middle schooler would direct. And like many Kashyap wannabe, off course, they need to include lesbian scenes, mud-fights, real locations, many such cliches - almost laughable!
Choked (2020)
Great storytelling. Nothing like Bollywood has seen before
A different genre than a typical Anurag Kashyap's movies. It is a subtle satire - I believe carefully crafted so that Modi Bhakt do not start burning theaters and start issuing fatwa. Satire but a thriller with happy ending. But I also think that most of the Indians will not get the movie - the low rating is the evidence.
I am glad the Anurag Kashyap has tried a different kind of movie. Too tired of watching the same gangster and Anurag's copy cats.
