Absolute fire content this week. Joram featuring #ManojBajpayee was riveting, gripping, and a movie that deserves an audience. 
#MohitRaina's #thefreelancer season 2 was a gripping finish to #Neerajpanday's espionage thriller. Well done. Streams on @hulu and #hotstar
Enjoy our chatter this week.

This week we speak about Pankaj Tripathi's #kadaksingh where a veteran detective loses his memories and tries to piece them back with the help of other people's narratives on @zee5global. #ZoyaAkhtar's #thearchies on @netflix was fun and class - yet the actors got trolled due to their acting skills. Our take on it.
Toodles till next time.

Two big Bollywood stars and two very different movies that released on the same day.

This week- just one movie. But #ShilpaShetty's #Sukhee rocked. Much to the dismay of her husband, a middle-class housewife, known for her rebellious attitude in high school, decides to attend her class reunion. How does the wild child in her bounce back?
We had fun watching it
On Netflix.
Enjoy our take

Tiger is back and this time he bites off the Pakistani patriotism train. In the number 3 sequel, #Tiger does international espionage with Zoya and lands in Pakistan to save their democracy. Hurrah to that. Is in theaters.
R Balki's #Ghoomer is a delightful film of resilience and hope. Watch it on #Zee5global.
And Amazon #PrimeVideo's #Pippa is how war movies should be made. Ishaan Khattar shines.

Just Aarya this week.
Sushmita Sen essays the epic transformation from Mommy to Mobster in the three seasons of this story based on the Dutch drama series Penoza.
Continuing into this season, she is badass even in a narrative that is now getting a bit stretched.

This week is short and sweet and you have Tapsee Pannu produced #DhakDhak in theaters.
Four women from as stark backgrounds as possible ride bikes from Delhi to Leh and change the way they think about their lives.
Adventures are life's pivots. hah.
And then we enjoyed #sultanofdelhi on #hotstar #hulu - the period crime thriller with Tahir Raj Bhasin in another spectacular performance. 
Enjoy our banter

This week in Pod, Khufiya was a spy universe that didn't feel spyish- except Tabu. What a beaut.
Country of Blind was a great attempt despite its low budget and limited resources and Mohit Raina comes back with another season of Mumbai Diaries facing a lot of media drama and Mumbai rains.
Catch our banter and more. 
Let us know how you like our cast

This week, we cover two movies and two shows. 
#Fukrey3 was a damp squib. yes. Even Choocha can fall flat. Argh. What a disappointment. 
#hotstar's #tumsenahopayega sold old startup models in 2023. Crossing the chasm but a couple of decades late.
#VishalBhardwaj's #charliechopra, an Agatha Christie adaptation, was an intriguing watch. We highly recommend this show on #sonyLIV. 
#netflix's #choona is p...

Three movies, three different genres. From the societal commentary of a son of a hindu priest who was born a Muslim in #TheGreatIndianFamily, to a murder mystery based on a book by Japanese mystery writer Keigo Higashino called #SuspectX or (#jaanejaan); to a mindless blood and gore Rajnikanth style story in #Jailer; this week was interesting to cover.
Hear it all from Team Desis

Two great series this week. Kaala on Hotstar/ Hulu is a delight to watch, especially with its engaging screenplay, actors, screenplay and surprises. Avinash Tiwary shines.
Another series where he shines is Bambai Meri Jaan on Prime Video, where along with K K Menon he  chronicles the life of gangster Dara Kadri through the eyes of his father, an ex-cop, Ismail Kadri

When we say Shahrukh Khan, you bow.
That's how much of fangirls we are and not afraid to show.
It was an SRK fest for us with Jawan. So much so that we couldn't stop podcasting about it.
We literally had to rein it in.
Listen on.

Woah!
What a week it was. Firstly, we are both traveling, and in between all the time zones, we managed to watch, review, and bring this to you
Friday Night Plan on @netflix was sooooooo coool. I loved the simple movie with no specific agenda, and Babil Khan shines through and through.
Freelancer on @hulu / Hotstar was intense - with only four episodes released so far- we are looking forward to continuing the story of ...

Ayushmann Khurrana is back with Dream Girl 2 and boy is he the Pooja of our lives.
While the movie carries on with the jokes from its last rendition, Ayushmann is a treat to watch. 
What Ananya is doing in the movie is not known as we could not figure out what was more wooden- the table or her expression.
Ouch.
No seriously.
Dream Girl 2 is in theaters.

Have you watched "Guns and Gulaabs" on Netflix yet?
We suggest that you take time to watch this quirky crime drama with eclectic performances from Raj Kummar Rao, Dulquer Salman and Adarsh Gorav.
What an ensemble cast.
Recommended.

A long pod this week and we got to cover Three movies and two series that hit the waves.
Gadar 2 was not required but it seems people wanted to see SunnyDeol so bad that the movie made over 20crs in the first few days of its release. OMG2 is a beauty. Watch it. Billions is back and so is Axe and we are so excited about that. Alia Bhatt's Hollywood debut on Netflix is called Heart of Stone and has her in all of ten minutes ...

We are back with a long list of reviews this week. Starting with Jackie Chan, John Cena's #HiddenStrike on Netflix- anything with Jackie Chan in it - is never a waste.
Rushi Kota brings an Indian flavor to Hallmark as his kurta replaces the quintessential flannel in #MakeMeAMatch. Hotstar's #Dayaa is interesting in its intersection of crime, politics, and media. The story to remember this week however is the docuserie...
