X-Ray: Selected Satyajit Shorts (2021)
INSULT to RAY's brilliance
Only saving grace is the Manoj Bajpai story which was directed in a way that it came across as a true storytelling piece. Rest 3 stories are meant to titillate with crass dialogues and scenes.
Story 1: it's clear that the director and team have no idea whatsoever what corporate life is. It is not about glist and glamor. Deals are not made sitting in a moving car. How dumb do you think the audience is? Terrible just terrible
Story 4: Worst of the 4. Bad actors. Terrible direction, storyline. I couldn't even watch it till the end.
Let me say this: THIS IS AN INSULT TO RAY'S BRILLIANCE and TO RAY'S FANS. For those who don't know Ray,please please watch Apu's Trilogy movies instead on HBO or YouTube instead of this pretentious series masquerading as an interpretation.
Paatal Lok (2020)
Raw, honest, unfiltered
Such a powerful depiction of real India where lives and existence is ruled by caste, religion, gender and economic status & the interplay of caste-religion-politics.
Exhilarating and depressing due to its realness.
Powerful performances by all.
Ludo (2020)
Hyperlinked storyline
New age bollywood which is a class apart. Solid performance by Pankaj Tripathi, Rajkummar Rao and the rest. Fun, entertaining in an intellectual way. The likes of k.Jo is done and dusted. Anurag Basu proves he is a master of movie making and cinematography.
Koffee with Karan (2004)
Unoriginal and toxic
This show captures everything which is toxic and unhealthy in the bollywood world.
Promotes bullying. Recommendation for viewers: Donot watch. Simply not worth anyone's time unless ofcourse you are a star kid wanting to make it big after a few dance classes over summer ;)
