Through The Mist

Betaal Series Review Okay so I'm never really interested in Netflix India or Amazon Prime India content because its always filled with all the same Government bad, Hindus bad, 4th or 5th wave feminism, LGBTQ ftw garbage, and other 'Woke' ideas. Take any show and tell me it's not there. So I just stay away from such content. For Betaal, I was actually excited as Asur was a quite good show and Tumbbad blew us away with the use of Indian mythology blended with horror. I thought Betaal will do the same because the premise is actually good. It was finally made available for streaming on Netflix yesterday and I was finally able to watch it. So yeah, here are my thoughts on the show. What I Liked? The Plot Premise A team of paramilitary troops, Baaz Squad is tasked with relocation and elimination of supposed Naxalites from the Betaal Mountain area so that the Government can successfully create highways through these lands. While the tribals are not really Naxals as you would h...

Why you need to watch Asur? || Asur Webseries Review A unique crime thriller that pits two opposing worlds against each other. The less explored, intricate world of forensic science and the deep mysticism of ancient Indian Mythology. - Voot Readers, we all are under the threat of COVID-19, sitting in our house and getting bored by doing nothing, at least most of us. Nothing new is being released on Netflix, Amazon Prime or other OTTs.  Out of boredom, I stumbled upon the trailer of An Voot Original, Asur, a thriller web series starring Arshad Warsi, Amey Wagh and Barun Sobti. Now, who doesn't love to watch a good thriller? The trailer was interesting enough and I gave it a go. And believe me, you have to watch this series whether you love thrillers or not. 

मराठीचं प्रदूषण Pollution Of language Is Techno-remediation Is The Answer? 'Wait, what? Pollution of language? What idiocy is this? And what does an environmental sciences guy knows about language when he himself is writing this very own article in English?' Listen, yes, I know I'm not a linguist & no way am I going to act like one. Whatever I will type now is my own take on the current state of Marathi or we can say all the other Indic languages. But my view is mostly confined to Maharashtra & the status of Marathi language right now. If you find any mistakes or wrong claims feel free to comment.  Well, how can I say a certain language or Marathi language is polluted? To understand this, let's see the common definition of pollution being taught in schools. 'Pollution is something that contaminates the environment. Once contaminated, the subject is now polluted.'  ' The presence in or introduction into the environment of...

Review: Jamtara - Sabka Number Ayega      Guys, a few days ago I talked about Netflix India's first release of this year & for most of the part it was a major disappointment to everyone, which was meant to happen when you have likes of KJ involved. Then after a few days, this new series called 'Jamtara' having new faces in banner started appearing in my feed & anything having new faces (obviously of non-nepo kids) & rural setting catches my eye. So I decided to give it a watch & it was a pleasant watch from start to finish. I'll talk about what I liked, what I did not like about this series as well as whether you should invest your time in it or not.        Jamtara- Sabka Number Ayega: ''A group of small-town young men run a lucrative phishing operation until a corrupt politician wants in on their scheme -- and a cop wants to fight it.''                      ...

Ghost Stories Review I just finished watching the Netflix Exclusive Ghost Stories & I have a few things to say about it.  Ghost Stories      Ghost Stories  is a movie made by joining four distinct stories directed by four different directors. These distinct stories only work as separate short films containing scare elements because these four stories don't have any connection with each other. One another thing that I want to clarify is that two of these two don't even have any ghosts in it so why Ghost Stories? We will do a separate review for each separate story. 1 . Zoya Akhtar       The first story from the four is directed by Zoya Akhtar. I was excited to see where do Zoya Akhtar & Anurag Kashyap can take the genre. And in her case, I wasn't disappointed, at least in the direction department. She has created a very isolated environment within the house where the story takes place & you can really ...
