Shantaram

By -


Shantaram, based on Gregory David Roberts’ novel, is a gripping American-Australian drama series that brings 1980s Bombay to life. Charlie Hunnam excels as the conflicted lead, supported by a strong cast. The series’ attention to detail is commendable, vividly portraying Bombay’s chaos and charm. The storytelling captures the protagonist’s angst and transformation, drawing viewers into a world of crime, love, and redemption. While some critique Hunnam’s accent, the acting, cinematography, and faithfulness to the source material make this a compelling watch for fans of the book and newcomers alike.

  Lucky Baskhar (Streaming on Netflix), directed by Venky Atluri, is a captivating financial thriller exploring money laundering, stock market manipulation, and family drama. Set in the 1989-1992 banking world, it features a feel-good performance by Dulquer Salmaan and a catchy title track. Intriguing references to financial scams, reminiscent of Harshad Mehta’s era, add depth. (Review of the Series - https://thefilmiangle.blogspot.com/2024/09/scam-1992-harshad-mehta-story.html ) While the second half feels slower and the family drama underdeveloped, the twists and thrills keep you hooked. Pre-empting some twists doesn’t dull the joy of their execution. Not a unique story but story blending intrigue and emotional depth!     #LuckyBaskhar #NetflixIndia #FinancialThriller #DulquerSalmaan #VenkyAtluri #MoneyLaundering #StockMarketScams #MustWatchMovie #WeekendWatch #CatchySoundtrack #BankingDrama #ThrillsAndTwists   Directed by –  Venky Atluri Release Date –...
