OpeningBatsman Posted November 14, 2020 Posted November 14, 2020 Ludo - - pretty fun first half but dragged out in the end. Would have been a fun watch with better editing. Rajkumar Rao as usual is special
OpeningBatsman Posted November 14, 2020 Posted November 14, 2020 Waiting for the full release of 'Tenet'. Heard Christopher Nolan wasn't interested in OTT release as it wouldn't do justice to the film. Unfortunately that means only limited theatre release. Blu-ray is expected in December.

That Split/Glass actress is the lead character. Will add it to my list but doubt I'll get the time to start it this year, a few other shows I must first catch up with. I haven't even checked the last couple of seasons of Vikings, The Crown, Modern Family, South Park, BBT...yet to start Dark, Succession and a few other acclaimed ones despite lockdown free time . But if @Mariyam has time she may enjoy it, story is about a female chess champion, #1 on Netflix now. Also other ICF chess fans like @Real McCoy @FischerTal @Straight Drive @The Dark Horse @randomGuy @I6MTW @Singh bling Mariyam 1

Stan AF Posted November 15, 2020 Posted November 15, 2020 @Ankit_sharma03 Second one from Lokesh. I'm not a fan of this guy but the teaser looks action packed. Anirudh with the music again.

WC2011INDIA Posted November 15, 2020 Posted November 15, 2020 Indian cinema is for fools. So called culture showed in these movies is fake. No one starts dancing and singing in real life the way they do in these films. Pathetic identity we have in the west..singing & dancing films.

Do we ape the western model all the time? Music in our films come from a tradition of drama, where it was filled with music Mariyam 1

Its the right mix of masala and accurate storytelling... what stands out for me is the music...is on point for the situation. Listening to it on a loop. Honestly this type of series will put India on the map. Bollywood has supressed a lot of creativity. Hard to imgine this is the same Director of Dil Pe Mat Le Yaar....

I agree with you on that. As far as accurate story telling is concerned, fair bit of misrepresentation on a landmark case!

I don't think any other OTT site has it other than SonyLiv. I read we can only subscribe and watch it using a VPN.

Funnily enough I never play the Queen's Gambit. I always play the Kings pawn opening with white.

Otherwise it will be a nightmare to open a VPN to watch India cricket matches.
Gollum Posted November 21, 2020 Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) Since the TV shows/Netflix threads are locked.... Guys please recommend some great shows-> thriller/mystery/horror/historical/legal/fantasy/sci-fi/political/crime drama etc. fine by me, (and not sitcoms or those 5-6 hours long mini-series, not in the mood for that). Want to watch shows like these, 50+ hours long so that I can binge-watch for 3-4 weeks minimum. Quote The Wire The Sopranos Breaking Bad GOT Prison Break Vikings House Dexter House of Cards Suits Twin Peaks Also have 'The Americans' and 'The Shield', @Jimmy Cliff you have watched both IIRC? Which one is better, more addictive? Edited November 21, 2020 by Gollum

I watched all seasons of The Americans, held up till the end. A lot of violence and sleazy, not so believable, but watchable. Not as good as Homeland the espionage series. Bosch is a good crime/detective series.
