Title:   Rangeen: A Confused Tale That Loses Its Colour Review:  Rangeen , streaming on Prime Video, follows a straight-laced husband-turned-gigolo, played by Viineet Kumar Singh, after his wife’s betrayal. Despite its daring premise, the nine-episode series struggles with identity—shuffling between black comedy and drama without clarity. The writing feels scattered, leaving even the talented cast adrift, except Rajshri Deshpande as Naina, who delivers a grounded performance. Instead of diving deep into the chaos of male sex work, the show gets lost in style over substance and ends abruptly.  Rangeen  had potential, but ultimately feels more faded than vibrant. #Rangeen #RangeenReview #PrimeVideoIndia #VineetKumarSingh #RajshriDeshpande #IndianWebSeries #BlackComedy #StreamingNow #ConfusedDrama #RangeenOnPrime #sheebachaddha #taarukraina #meghnamalik Image - YouTube

Image - YouTube Mandala Murders: A Chilling Dive into Darkness and Mystery Mandala Murders , now streaming on Netflix, is a bold Hindi crime thriller set in the eerie town of Charandaspur. Blending supernatural horror, mystery, and psychological drama, it creates a haunting world filled with secrets, cults, and bloodshed. The series shines in its gothic atmosphere and stunning visuals—especially the Varuna Forest. While the plot is complex and sometimes hard to follow, its ambition is questionable. Despite uneven pacing,  Mandala Murders  pulls you in with its layered storytelling. A must-watch for fans of dark, unconventional thrillers with an appetite for suspense and horror. Extra Note:  At first, I hoped  Mandala Murders  would match the intrigue of  Asur , but it falls a bit short. The familiar duo of Jameel Khan and Vaibhav Raj Gupta reunite after  Gullak , bringing a sense of grounded performance. Aditi Pohankar, known for her strong roles in...

The Amateur (2025): Spy Thrills with a Clever, Unconventional Edge The Amateur  (2025), streaming on Jio Hotstar, stars Rami Malek as a grief-stricken CIA cryptographer turned avenger. While the plot is pulpy and straightforward, it avoids cliché action tropes with inventive scenes—like the clever swimming pool sequence. Malek’s calm intensity works in parts, though his subdued charisma holds the film back. The standout is the ending—choosing justice over revenge, adding moral depth. It’s watchable, smart in places, and a decent pick for a lazy Sunday. But it doesn’t leave a lasting mark. Still, a fresh take on the spy thriller formula. #TheAmateur2025 #RamiMalek #SpyThriller #JioHotstar #ActionMovieReview #JamesHawes #MovieNight #JusticeOverRevenge #HollywoodThriller  Image - YouTube

Untamed  Review – A Scenic Thriller with Quiet Tension Streaming on Netflix since July 17, 2025,  Untamed  is a moody crime thriller set in the lush wilderness of Yosemite National Park. Eric Bana shines as a special agent uncovering a woman’s death—and his own buried past. While the plot leans on familiar mystery tropes, the visuals are stunning, the suspense builds slowly but surely, and the character dynamics keep you engaged. Some episodes drift a bit, but good editing and gripping moments hold your interest. It’s not flawless, but it’s certainly worth a watch. #UntamedNetflix #EricBana #CrimeThriller #NetflixOriginals #YosemiteMystery #UntamedSeries #LimitedSeries2025 #ForestThriller #MurderMysteryDrama Image - YouTube
