Netflix's Guilty - A must watch?

I had heard a lot about this Netflix original and as soon as my exams ended , I watched the film and I really have mixed feelings about 'Guilty'.
The movie revolves around the effects of the #metoo movement, victim shaming and choosing between friendships and the "right". 
After watching Kiara Adwani in "Kabir Singh", I never thought I would like to watch her on screen again , but here I am writing about her latest. She has done a decent job and her character was well written unlike the character of Akansha Ranjan Kapoor who played ' Tanu Kumar' , the victim in the Netflix original.
The topic of "consent" was raised again, "victim shaming" was discussed and how it is important for WOMEN TO SUPPORT WOMEN. 
Kiara Adwani's character, Nanki was a troubled person , a sexual assault victim. With tattoos all over her , she was the "cool" girl of St. Martin's. Everything was going well for her till her boyfriend got "#metoo ed". She knew very little about the happenings and was perplexed; she felt fragile , hallucinated and the story more or less revolves around her.
There were a lot of little details in her character like the "ekla cholo re" tattoo on her chest, the way she started writing a song on "testimony" (gawah) while she played a witness in her boyfriend's case. All her creative force was a result of her wild imagination and past experiences. 
On the other hand , the character of Akansha Kapoor lacked details, it seemed to be poorly written as compared to Kiara's character.
The movie also portrayed the power of the "privileged" and how they ruin the system.The movie touches a lot of issues at the same time and at some point of time it could not manage all of them at once.

However, one SHOULD watch the movie. The movie might seem exaggerated at some points but it manages to be entertaining and shares a good message.

Wouldn't reveal more about the movie , go watch it yourself now :)

'The lunchbox' reveals the harsh realities of a mediocre life

Image
Dialogue of the day  " कभी कभी गलत ट्रेन भी सही जगह पहुंचा देती है" - The lunchbox "Kabhi kabhi galat train bhi sahi jagah pahucha deti hai." - The lunchbox        The beauty of "The lunchbox" lies in how it captures  'mediocre' lives in the city of Mumbai. Mr. Fernandes lives a fairly normal life ; he travels in the Mumbai local , works from 9 to 5 and eats average food from a restaurant nearby his house. Mr. Fernandes is the epitome of a mediocre , lonely person living in a metropolitan city. Often he stands in the balcony observing his neighbors eat their meal together. Fernandes is full of regret for not spending the time he could with his wife. The concept of 'regretting' not spending time with a person while they were around is not confined to the movie but also translates to real life. I'll quote something John Green said , " You can never love a person as much as you can miss them." Relevant , isn't

Netflix's Taj Mahal 1989 - Finding love the old school way

Image
"Love is nothing but the options available."- Taj Mahal 1989 The series is set in the late 1980s ; however , there are moments when one questions the era the series is based in. At some places , the stories felt way ahead of their time. Taj Mahal 1989 revolves around the ideas of love , politics and philosophy ( interestingly). Each character is well written and helps the story advance. Each story is very different from the other and yet the characters were woven so perfectly. I think the idea of "weaving" different stories into one got popular after "Masaan" ( if you haven't watched Masaan , this is probably the best time to watch it, we all are quarantined anyways). The story is set in Lucknow University, and if we analyse each character , we might find stark similarities between them and the people we know in real life - the reaction and the thinking patterns mostly.
