Jalsa (2022)

This is what happens when you put 2 POWERFUL actresses together

[9/10 · 6 November 2022]

Just watched the movie today and it is mind blowingly fabulous. Credits should be given to the casting director or whoever came up with the idea of putting two such powerful actresses face to face. Every second of their acting was a delight to watch. The acting by Maya's son is phenomenal too and so is her mothers.

This story managed to untangle lots of complex but true scenario of today's society. Must watch if you are looking for a good thriller. Vidya Balan and Shefali Shah will make sure to keep you glued to your seats. It's kinda sad how you can't know who the actress other than Vidya Balan is, I think more people would watch it if you could see Shefali's face in there too!

From Scratch (2022)

Absolutely heart-wrenching

[10/10 · 23 October 2022]

The first couple of episodes and also the trailer might make it seem like a basic movie with the same old story much like Netflix's recent "Love in the Villa" but it was nothing sort of that!

It is a truly amazing piece of art. Don't let the first couple of episodes turn you off; it just keeps getting better and the story gets more real as we go past episode 2. I specially loved to see more of Lino's family. None of those characters spoke one word of English but their acting and emotions encapsulated my heart forever and ever. I've never cried before watching any other movie in my life but after watching their acting, I just couldn't help myself. It is simply phenomenal.

Everyone should watch this with their families and loved ones (also kinda appropriate for kids) and I'm sure everyone will love it. I'm definitely going to give a second chance to the first few episodes!!

This is one of the finest Netflix productions of the year.

MUST WATCH!
