Daredevil: Season 3 (TV series 2018)
Erik Oleson’s adapted screenplay for the third season is in only bits and pieces similar to Frank Miller’s Born Again. Erik cleverly took all the events from the comic and rewrote in the screenplay. The season 3 is much more reformed and coherent than Daredevil’s season 1 and 2. The season starts with the addition

Dark: Season 1 (TV Series 2017-20)
Learning about Indian Vedic literature from a German television series sounds absurd. The western civilization adopted many Hindu ideas and philosophy in their own way, Nietzsche’s Eternal Recurrence is one such example. The philosophy was adopted from a concept called Kaalchakra (time-cycle) and Samsara (Sansaar or Universe). In the philosophy of Samsara, world exists in

Iron Fist: Season 2 (TV Series 2018)
It may be out of context but having hopped several uncivilised cities in India, a firm understanding is now established in my mind. Nobody can pass a judgement on, or understand, a city merely from the word of mouth. People’s own experience are always different from others. Marvel presents the city of New York as

Mindhunter: Season 1 & 2 (TV series 2017-19)
Profiling criminals and documenting their behavorial instincts is not the most interesting job in the world. But studying psychology is. Joe Penhall penned a story where two FBI agents would use psychology as their tool for profiling criminals. Mindhunter is a series very similar to the one created by Bruno Hellar, The Mentalist.

Rukh: (2017)
There have been movies in Hindi cinema that redefined actors’ journey through a strong and realistic storytelling. As a teenager, when I first watched Udaan, I was doing my engineering and had an intrinsic affection for writing. With that movie, I realized that engineering is not my cup of tea and later I made my

Mia Khalifa on Dunkirk: (2017)
It’s not very often that I see a movie and go through with its review too. In modern times, it’s difficult to avoid that and especially when the reviewer is an underground internet sensation (Mia Khalifa). The maker, Christopher Nolan, and Mia Khalifa are two very different personalities and it’s rather more difficult to avoid

Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
Aunt May finally knows the secret about his nephew, Peter Parker. Jon Watts subtly put the scene where Aunt May (May Parker played by Marisa Tomei) sees her nephew dressed up as Spider-Man. Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios finally get the act right. Homecoming treat is what viewers always wanted to see. The life of

War Machine: (2017)
Focusing my attention to a movie and shying away to write about a real situation is atypical of me. I eagerly wait to collect all facts about the situation in Venezuela and why the United States of America is so keen in an oil rich state of South America. The reason could be obvious but

The Space Between Us: (2017)
There are issues in this world which should be best left for understanding at the capable hands of our God but then there are people like me who would still want to understand each and everything. Love to me is nothing short of some chemical imbalance that happens because of our fixation towards an individual.
