Our Opinion

Unlike any other movie or web series in terrorism, Torbaaz is really different in showcasing the fight against Taliban terrorism. The way the whole movie runs is literally demanded big applause, especially how the character of Naseer, Qazar, and Bazz was portrayed even the respective actor performed outstandingly.

Although, direction wise at certain points I felt the movie to be lengthy and rough, at times it was full of emotions too, quite a mix of roughness, rude, pain, and a heartful of love.

Overall, in our Torbaaz review, we would like to rate this series 3.5 stars out of 5. If you enjoy watching action thriller you must consider watching the series. Otherwise, give it a shot and I am sure I will definitely fall in love with the character “Baaz”. As I already mentioned, the story is based on terrorism in Afghanistan but to my surprise, the ending is very touching and emotional.

Production: RSVP Movies
Genre: Romantic Drama
Maturity Level: 18+
Availability: Netflix (OTT Platform)
Released on: 20 November 2020

Our Opinion

Mismatched web series tried to point many social issues like marriage is main focus of girl’s life, trust issues with friends & partners, handling bullies in college or society. But to be honest addressing these all made this series a little complicated at times.

I somewhat felt direction wise this series is quite off. Sometimes plots taking unrelatable twists, even at certain points there are unnecessary abusing, debating over silly topics which did not make any sense. A lot of things shown wrong like the entire course and app building process even the way youth was living their life.

Prajakta Koli (Mostlysane) was average barring the fact she is a YouTuber and pretty new to the film industry. Rohit Sharaf, Rannvijay Singha, Vidya Malavade was good but the story and direction made everything less impactful.

Overall, in our Mismatched Web Series review, we would like to rate this series 2.5 stars out of 5. If you enjoy watching romantic dramas or fan of Mostlysane you may consider watching the series. Otherwise, skip this one.

Availability: Hotstar VIP (OTT Platform)
Released on: 17 March 2020

Our Opinion

Special OPS is a fictional web series inspired by real-life incidents especially terror attacks happen in the last two decades. The entire story is very crisp, meaningful, and enjoyable. I liked the way how the mastermind was managed to spread terror but staying in the shadows like a ghost so that people not even doubt his existence. The direction and screenplay were neat and clean, not even a single second felt extra or boring.

Kay Kay Menon, Divya Dutta, Gautami Kapoor, Karan Tacker, and Vinay Pathak performed extremely great so as the entire casting. Kay Kay Menon absolutely nailed it, probably one of the best spy character acting I have ever seen. Special OPS turns out to be a perfect outcome from all perfect ingredients.

Out of all popular Espionage web series in different OTT apps, Special OPS and The Family Man (review) really took the lead for their practical and enjoyable content.

Overall, in our Special OPS Web Series review, we would like to rate this series 4.5 stars out of 5. If you enjoy watching action, crime, suspense then I recommend you watch the series. Otherwise, you may miss one of the best series ever.

Our Opinion

Delhi Crime is based on a very pathetic true story collected from Delhi Police itself hence I do not have any right to comment on the story. But the way the whole incident was portrayed in the series, definitely deserves strong appreciations.

Director Richie Mehta made this series compact, meaningful, narrative, and full of emotions even the timeline sequences are commendable too. The entire casting was excellent in a word, specially Shefali Shah, her expression and on point acting skills contributed a lot to the overall success.

Not only me but almost everyone praised Delhi Crime as one of the best web series ever. Even this series bags four renowned awards too, one International Emmy Awards for best crime drama series and three iReel Awards for Best Crime Drama Series, Best Actress (Drama) & Best Writing (Drama).

Overall, in our Delhi Crime Web Series review, we would like to rate this series 5 stars out of 5. I will not speak more about it but request to watch the series once, I am sure that we will feel what I am feeling now. This web series is an anthology, so we can easily predict many more fact-based seasons are on the way.

Bard of Blood Review, A Serious But Weak Espionage Drama

Arghya Ghosh — Tue, 24 Nov 2020 14:21:37 +0000

Bard of Blood web series is based on the 2015 espionage novel of the same name by Bilal Siddiqi. He wrote the novel at the age of 20 during his college days in Mumbai and it was published by Penguin books.

An ex-IIW agent code-named Adonis aka Kabir Anand (Emraan Hashmi) revisiting Balochistan where he lost his love and partner five years ago, for rescuing four Indian spies from the Taliban group and ISA. While IIW (Indian Intelligence Wing) had no option to aid the mission, three of the best agents entered the enemy territory in their own patriotic interest even without expecting support from the agency.

Watch out the trailer now!

Many lives are at stake, will Kabir Anand and his team manage to rescue three Indian Spy? What makes Kabir revisiting Balochistan where he had lost everything 5 years back? Watch Bard of Blood Web Series exclusively on Netflix now.

Bard of Blood Web Series Credits

Director: Ribhu Dasgupta
Casting: Emraan Hashmi, Vineet Kumar Singh, Sobhita Dhulipala, Kirti Kulhari, Abhishekh Khan
Production: Red Chillies Entertainment
Genre: Action Espionage Thriller
Maturity Level: 16+
Availability: Netflix (OTT Platform)
Released on: 27 September 2019

Our Opinion

Bard of Blood is a pretty straightforward web series. The script and directions just felt adequate, not super-impressive. I personally did not like storytelling mainly the covertness of a spy was missing. The seven episodes of this series were tidy but with a lot of exaggerated emotions, especially with Kabir Anand’s character. In the first episode, Kabir Anand was showcased as one of the best agents of the agency, his work was being used for influencing trainees but later when we saw him in action, he does not felt that good.

The entire cast did decent enough to make it consumable. Emraan Hashi and Kirt Kulhari managed to outperform others though. To my surprise, the entire series does not have a single comedy scene and lacks maturity too which makes this series a little boring.

Comparing Bard of Blood with a similar genre web series, The Family Man, later one felt way more enjoyable and engaging due to neat script, maturity, and on-point use of emotions.

It is not like Bard of Blood is trash, don’t get me wrong, rather there are many serious viewers who just love actions, thrill or espionage things, they will love it. Truly speaking, I would have rated it 4 out 5, if I missed “The Family Man” (review here).

Overall, in our Bard of Blood Web Series review, we would like to rate this series 3 stars out of 5. If you enjoy watching action, crime, suspense then this series is for you. Otherwise, you may consider to binge-watch it. By the ending, we can predict that season 2 is on the way. Let us just hope this time they make it more enjoyable.

Released on: 20 September 2019

Our Opinion

The story is inspired by newspaper articles (as claimed) and showcased a few terrorism events between India and Pakistan. From saving the country to maintain regular family life, the entire series portrayed the versatility of a spy, Shrikant, who never fails to go yellow whenever the situation demanded.

If you ever wonder why The Family Man series was so hyped or probably finding this name in each and every web series recommendations? You are right, this is one of the gems in the digital content world. Almost all possible ingredients like scripts, directions, music, outdoor shootings, etc. were exceptional to make this series one of the most enjoyable content on the web. Especially Manoj Bajpayee again proved himself to be a legend whereas other artists delivered a commendable performance too.

All 10 episodes are quite neat and well proportionate still you may feel, this series can be completed in 8 to 9 episodes. But according to me, a few more detail did help this series a lot in its overall success.

Overall, in our The Family Man Web Series review, we would like to rate this series 4.5 stars out of 5. If you enjoy watching action, crime, suspense, and drama on the screen then this series is a perfect match for you. Otherwise, take my word and watch it, you will definitely thank me later.

Our Opinion

As we already mentioned in our Mirzapur Season 1 Review, Mirzapur is a very popular violent, mature, and raw content. The script, screenplay, and direction are excellent even the ending will leave you dazzled.

Altogether the whole series is a golden combination of incredible acting, scripts, and great directions.

Ludo Movie Review, Life is Unpredictable like Ludo

Arghya Ghosh — Wed, 18 Nov 2020 08:58:48 +0000

Akash Chauhan (Aditya Roy Kapur) discovered a sex tape and decided to block it before it gets viral. Another side, Sattu Bhai (Pankaj Tripathi) settling all deals. From a Sex tape to a suitcase full of cash, suddenly four completely different stories coincide with each other and made chaos at the whims of fate.

Watch out the trailer now!

Who will be lucky to get the suitcase full of cash? Are sinners always pay the hefty price and go to hell? Watch the full movie exclusively on Netflix.

Ludo Movie Credits

Director: Anurag Basu
Casting: Abhishek Bachchan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Fatima Sana Shaikh
Production: T-Series Films
Genre: Offbeat Crime Movies
Availability: Netflix (OTT Platform)
Released on: 12 November 2020

Our Opinion

This movie as well as its direction is in a completely different league, full of chaos and pace. But everything ends with a message, only death is constant and everything rests are variable including virtue and sin.

Pankaj Tripathi, Abhishek Bachchan, Rajkumar Rao, Arjun Kapur, Sanya Malhotra, Pearle Maney, everyone did good if not great but the way the whole movie is portrayed is quite different. At the start, every individual story grew quickly then crossed each other paths and at the end, everything comes to an understandable but twisted conclusion through a chaotic journey. A few sections felt pointless and very idiotic while some felt deeply emotional. I liked a few of the soundtracks though.

Overall, in our Ludo Movie Review, we would like to rate this movie 3 stars out of 5. The movie delivered basic lessons like sometimes you may not need the biggest leap and sin or virtue is relative. As an OTT platform release, you can consider watching this movie once.

P.S. Ludo Movie has some really bold scenes, so be aware of that.

Production: T-Series Films, Ajay Devgn FFilms & Luv Films

Availability: Amazon Prime (OTT Platform)
Released on: 13 November 2020

Our Opinion

Prime video originals, Chhalaang movie not only points out the need for sports education in schools, but it also addresses the basic human nature of Giving Up.

Although director Hansal Mehta took a humorous or comedy style approach throughout the movie which sometimes felt exaggerated but quite entertaining. Rajkumar Rao, Nushratt Bharucha, and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub did a good job, though there was room for improvement especially with emotions. Venkat Mehat as usual shines throughout the movie. If you have watched Chak De India, Dangal, Ehsaas, etc, you may realize the core messages of this movie are not entirely unique but the way it is portrayed is quite filmy and enjoyable.

Overall, in our Chhalaang Movie Review, we would like to rate this movie 3 stars out of 5. The movie indeed delivered a lot of valuable life-changing messages but with heavy desi masala. As an OTT platform release, you can definitely watch this movie.
