Relying on sensationalism and populism rather than facts
I am a newcomer to Canada. So when I started getting this show on my YouTube feed, I checked them out. But frankly speaking, there show is hit and miss now. I liked the episodes regarding breast implant and long distance delivery, where they were talking about real issues people face, when they are trying to avail a service they have paid for. But other episodes are like meh. They are trying to create something out of nothing. For example, the episode on Canada's dumbest charges has to be the dumbest episode I have ever seen. All of the services except one were optional services, but still the consumers wanted the service without paying for it, which doesn't make any sense whatsoever. For example, it is absolutely evident, sending a paper copy of an statement is more expensive than eStatements. Still, the consumers are furious, when the bank is charging for it. If you don't want to be charged for it, get eStatements, simple. The other alternative is banks sending paper statements to everyone, without asking and increasing the monthly fee for everyone. Can you tell me, why I should be paying more for something I don't want? And this pattern is repeated throughout this and other episodes, again and again. So, if the producers are watching this review, I request you to get some common sense and learn how things actually, rather than asking everything for free.

Good Movie, a lot to think about
First thanks to director for relieving us of mindless dancing-singing that typical South-Asian movies just can't get rid of. The film was good. Specially the lead actor Tarek Datta(Ritwick Chakraborty) was too good. I am not a big fan of Raima Sen, but she was good too. But Srijit Mukherjee and Victor Banerjee was so so. None of them were good enough. Churni Gangulee, on the other hand was quite good. The film started well. But the finishing was not in the line of rest of the movie. That's the reason I rated the movie 8, otherwise it had 9 written all over it. In the end the movie was lot more than just having a story and executing it. It was about paying tribute to unsung heroes of movies, and it did so in an amazing manner.
