  In recent times, not a lot of shows have been successful in grabbing my attention. After watching countless shows with multiple seasons over my binge night sessions, it became very easy for me to predict the direction in which a particular show is headed. I was yearning for a show that’ll prove all my predictions wrong and that’s how I stumbled upon Succession. To be honest, not a lot of shows have had such kind of brilliant writing.

The movie might start slow and may take some amount of time for character introduction and building up the world for these characters to cross paths in unimaginable, life-changing ways but once it completes that, you’ll surel

In the recent times, post-pandemic, Bollywood has been struggling to prove its mettle. There are many reasons for that and today we will be discussing the same. Before we begin, let me be honest, Bollywood has been instrumental in initiating my cinema watching experience and to some extent they have elevated it every year. There are movies that I would literally rewatch just to bring back the feeling of nostalgia, to reminisce the memories of how some movies had impacted me when I was a certain age. Here is a short (Part 1, Part 2) for all the underrated Bollywood movies before we start diving into the topic. The problem arose after pandemic as people got easy access to movies with good screenplay, likeable characters and storyline that came from the south. With their dubbed versions available, many people who have trouble reading subtitles ended up enjoying it so much that it is impossible for them to rewatch the same story with some other cast in its “bollywoodised” re-creation
