FALL

  Image - Prime Video Fall (2022) — Scary in Bits and Pieces Intro:   Fall  is a 2022 survival thriller directed by Scott Mann and co-written with Jonathan Frank. The film stars Grace Caroline Currey and Virginia Gardner as two friends who climb a 2,000-foot abandoned television tower and find themselves trapped at the top. With limited supplies and no easy way down, they must find a way to survive. The film is available on Prime Video. Review (90 Words):  Fall (2022) — A Survival Thriller That Plays on Your Fear of Heights. Fall   is one of those survival thrillers that makes you uncomfortable just by showing how high the characters are. There are moments when it genuinely gets scary, especially when the two friends are stuck at the top of the tower with no easy way down. The height and danger create tension, though the fear comes in bits and pieces rather than throughout the film. The premise is simple and effective, but some parts feel stretched. If heights m...

  Image - YouTube Bakaiti Season 2 — A Casual Watch, Nothing More Intro:  Bakaiti Season 2  is a Hindi comedy-drama produced by Dice Media for ZEE5. Set in Ghaziabad, the series returns to the Kataria family as they deal with financial troubles, family disagreements and changing personal ambitions. Sheeba Chaddha and Rajesh Tailang return as the middle-class parents, alongside Tanya Sharma and Aaditya Shukla. Review (90 Words): My experience with  Bakaiti Season 2  is quite similar to the first season . There isn't much here that makes it a must-watch, and you aren't missing anything great if you skip it. I certainly have higher expectations from Rajesh Tailang and Sheeba Chaddha, though their performances remain a reason to watch. The episode lengths work well for casual viewing, but tighter writing could have made a difference. At times, I wondered whether the writers themselves were clear about what emotions they wanted the audience to feel. For me, an averag...

MERIJUNG

  Image - Prime Video Meri Jung (1985) — When Revenge Becomes a Courtroom Battle Intro:  Meri Jung  is a 1985 Hindi legal drama directed by Subhash Ghai and written by Javed Akhtar. The film features Anil Kapoor, Meenakshi Sheshadri, Nutan, Amrish Puri and Javed Jaffrey, who made his film debut with this movie. With music by Laxmikant–Pyarelal, this courtroom drama combines family tragedy, revenge and a battle against a corrupt lawyer. It is currently available on Prime Video. Review (90 Words):  Revisiting   Meri Jung   after 41 years, I found myself noticing details beyond the revenge story. Amrish Puri's G.D. Thakral dominates the film so completely that it almost feels like his story. Why is his full name not mentioned? What explains his recurring finger-in-the-ear gesture? I don't know, but these details make him fascinating. Parikshit Sahani's repeated “What is this?” and Thakral's response are equally memorable. And the line about looking after each ...

Unabomber

  Image - YouTube Unabomber — An Interesting Story That Loses Its Way Intro:   Unabomber  is a 2026 American crime drama directed by Janus Metz Pedersen and written by Sam Chalsen and Nelson Greaves. Starring Russell Crowe, Jacob Tremblay, Annabelle Wallis and Shailene Woodley, the film explores the story of Ted Kaczynski and the investigation that led to his capture. It premiered on Netflix in September 2026. Review (90 Words):  Unabomber  is an interesting subject for a crime drama, but the film doesn't hold my attention throughout. It moves between Ted Kaczynski's early years at Harvard and the FBI investigation in the 1990s. There are moments when the story gets interesting, only to lose its direction again. The performances are good, particularly Jacob Tremblay and Russell Crowe. Interestingly, the background score also caught my attention, especially given my recent interest in film music. But good acting and a promising subject can only do so much when th...

Image - YouTube Reporting Live — A Good Topic, Poor Execution Intro:  Reporting Live  is a 2026 Hindi thriller directed by Dhruv Tripathi, who also co-wrote the film with Mihir Jadhav. Featuring Parineeti Chopra, Deven Bhojani, Adil Hussain, Amol Palekar and Shekhar Suman, the film explores investigative journalism and the challenges of exposing powerful interests. It premiered on Netflix on 9 October 2026. Review (90 Words): After  Pooja Meri Jaan ,  Reporting Live  is another film with a good subject that doesn't quite deliver. This time, the focus is on journalism and an investigation into a bridge collapse. There is enough material here for an engaging thriller, but the execution falls short. The storytelling doesn't create the tension or excitement I expected. For me, the only saving grace was watching Adil Hussain. Having reviewed  Scoop ,  Crime Beat  and  Despatch  earlier, I couldn't help comparing it with those shows and films...

POOJAMERIJAAN

  Image - YouTube Pooja Meri Jaan — Movie Review Intro:   Pooja Meri Jaan  is a 2026 Hindi crime thriller directed by Navjot Gulati and co-directed by Vipasha Arvind. The film stars Mrunal Thakur, Huma Qureshi, Vikram Singh Chauhan and Vijay Raaz. It is currently streaming on ZEE5. Review (90 Words):  I picked up   Pooja Meri Jaan   for Mrunal Thakur, but its premise also caught my attention. How do men handle rejection? One may choose revenge, while another may take the extreme step of suicide. I liked the fact that the film attempts to explore this uncomfortable question. Unfortunately, the execution didn't keep me engaged. Knowing that the film was completed in 2022 also made me wonder if its treatment now feels dated. The subject is still relevant, but the storytelling didn't feel fresh enough for me.   Interesting premise, average execution. #PoojaMeriJaan #MrunalThakur #HumaQureshi #VijayRaaz #ZEE5 #HindiMovies #CrimeThriller #MovieReview #OTTMov...

DUPAHIYA2

  Image - Prime Video Dupahiya Season 2 — Back to Dhadakpur Intro:  Dupahiya Season 2  returns to the fictional village of Dhadakpur with its familiar mix of small-town characters, comedy and everyday chaos. The second season brings back Gajraj Rao, Renuka Shahane, Sparsh Shrivastava, Bhuvan Arora and Shivani Raghuvanshi, and premiered on Amazon Prime Video in October 2026. Review (90 Words):  If you are looking for something that doesn't require much attention and can make you smile here and there,   Dupahiya Season 2   can be a handy watch. I found it to be a mix of several stories moving around at the same time, so it doesn't always feel very focused. But if you have seen Season 1 and are curious about where these characters go, Season 2 makes sense. And somewhere along the way, they bring the   dupahiya   back into the business. Also, my curiosity about character names is growing — this time we have   Bhugol and Amavas ! #DupahiyaSeason2...
