Homebound: 2025
The reality of India has remained the same for over 75 years despite changes in the administration at the top or bottom level. The ever growing population of India has largely been left uneducated and hard to include in the society mainstream by politicians for their vote bank politics. Though we don’t see much difference

The Recruit: Season 2 (TV Series 2025)
When I wrote about The Recruit season 1, I was mostly fascinated by its crisp storyline, characterization, and acting performance. As a fan of spy-thrillers, this show became an instant hit for my eyes. Though I feel that season 1’s story danced around Belarus narrative too much which I called out in my review, I

The Agency: Season 1 (TV Series 2024)
The latest Paramount plus hit spy thriller, The Agency, has received a lot of accolades owing to its close knit plot and script. The acting done by Michael Fassbender has been a treat to watch. The series is based on the plot of another hit French series The Bureau. The original plot of intelligence operative

The Order: (2024)
If you’re aware of Turner Diaries, it mentions six stages of reclaiming American white supremacy leading to the rebellion attack in the United States. Unfortunately, such an incident already took place on January 6th 2021 where a mob of far right supporters of Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol hill when he was impeached. And,

The Day of the Jackal: (2024)
Of all the spy-thrillers I have watched, I seem to have zeroed on my favorite, The Spy starring Sacha Baron Cohen playing the character of Mossad’s top spy Eli Cohen. I never thought I would have to realign my thriller beliefs and include an assassin thriller into the world of spies. The British adaptation of

The Diplomat: Season 2 (2024)
American politics has become a funny affair in the world media. It is not only ridiculous to see the clowns competing with each other, it is disheartening to see the plight of most people on Earth lies with them. Politics aside, the plot of The Diplomat season 2 stems from the current instability in US

Joker: Folie a Deux (2024)
Joker: Folie a Deux is not a regular DC fan movie. Todd Philips didn’t want to destroy what Christopher Nolan successfully portrayed on screen in The Dark Knight. The character of Joker played by Heath Ledger was iconic and despite Heath Ledger’s sad and early demise, the fans continue to love what he did to

Venom: The Last Dance (2024)
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is already full of so many villains when you see from the point of view of Earth-616 and when Sony Pictures keep on spinning new characters it becomes a chaotic mess. Before we get into the movie details, let us ponder over the post-credit scenes that most of us are interested

The Substance: (2024)
Demi Moore used to be phenomenal and it’s not entirely wrong. Just in the case of this movie, The Substance, Demi Moore impersonates the character of Elisabeth Sparkle quite beautifully and in the most gory way possible. Her otherself is impersonated by Margaret Qualley and she is as phenomenal as Demi Moore. Though I only

Penguin: (TV series 2024)
I wonder why I am not surprised to see the gloomy and gray shades in the new HBO series, Penguin. Though it’s an extension of the Matt Reeves’ Batman franchise, I guess I found some peculiar similarities to Bruno Heller’s Gotham. The characters are very similar and the dialog delivery is slow and poised just
