Dancing on Glass (2022)

Shamelessly glorifying suicide!

[2/10 · 12 June 2022]

Liberal filmmakers nowadays believe glorifying suicide is somehow aesthetic. What could have been an emotional and touching film was in the end an opportunity wasted.

Sutliyan (2022– )

Best family dram on OTT

[10/10 · 17 March 2022]

Finally a show entire family can watch together. Otherwise all other shows have adult content. Hope more will follow. Kudos to zee5. Acting and story is best.

The Silence of Swastika (2021)

LITERALLY MIND-BLOWING AND EYE-OPENING!

[10/10 · 7 January 2022]

This is a professional, well-made, and eye-opening documentary that every Indian should watch. How did the symbol of peace and prosperity become evil and repulsive in the eyes of the world? Therein lies the greatest betrayal of the 20th century. Hold onto your seats because the storm is coming.

Aranyak (2021– )

Taut, well-made, gripping thriller series.

[9/10 · 25 December 2021]

Aall the actors have a hood job. Plot and screenplay are tight and gripping. Cinematography is great and story is novel amd interesting. Highly recommended.

Thirteen (2003)

Dont try to be friends with the cool kids.

[9/10 · 22 December 2021]

It is a difficult watch to see a budding thirteen year old spiral downwards into a hellhole of drugs and sex, all because of one bad influence. The way it is shot and acted is extremely realistic. It is also a reflection of how over sexualized teenage girls have become, mostly due to their surroundings.

Lesson for parents: Watch who your kids are hanging out with.

Lesson for kids: Don't try to be friends with the cool kids.

Fuh se Fantasy (2019– )

The best content-driven erotica in India

[10/10 · 21 December 2021]

I have seen so much sleazy content in the Indian OTT market that I had low expectations from this show. But this was a pleasant and refreshing surprise. Each story is actually worth telling and has solid plot and characters. What's even better is that the actors are top-notch. The sexual scenes are aesthically shot and fit into the story. Alt Balaji should learn from this and stop showing sex and nudity for no reason.

Kasada Thapara (2021)

Engaging plotlines that converge smoothly for a good watch.

[8/10 · 19 December 2021]

I am not a fan of anthology films. But this one is a nice surprise. Its characters are well-written and endearing. Story telling is fast and to the point which keeps you invested. Overall a solid anthology film.

The Treacherous (2015)

Disturbing yet you cannot look away.

[6/10 · 17 December 2021]

This film is not an erotica for me. The mood is dark and morbid. The characters are not redeemable and most of the film is extremely violent. It was a difficult watch for me and I would not recommend this to someone seeking erotica. The story itself was intriguing and makes you want to finish the movie but curb your expectations.

Brochevarevarura (2019)

Unexpected roller coaster ride

[10/10 · 16 December 2021]

Completely unpredictable story with a great ending. Some films go bonkers crazy with no way to have a proper ending. But this one achieves just that. Highly recommended!

Aadai (2019)

Immersive thriller with umpredictable story and climax

[10/10 · 16 December 2021]

This is one of those films that is engaging, entertaining and though-provoking. A rare combination. The message at the end leaves you speechless and makes you think. Amala Paul is outstanding, as usual. All the characters feel real and the setting and story are extremely realistic. There is nothing controversial here. It is a real women empowerment film. A must watch.

Pushpaka Vimanam (2021)

JUST WATCH IT! Delightful, beautiful, thrilling, emotional roller coaster ride!

[10/10 · 15 December 2021]

This film has raised the bar for OTT content in India. Most of today's content only promotes foul language and skin show. But this is film is a shining example of the Telugu film industry's role in promoting Indian values.

The film keeps you hooked from start to finish. The beautiful songs seamlessly flow in and out adding to the story and enhancing emotions. The characters are a delight and acting is excellent. Most of the all the story is engrossing and leaves you with a heartfelt message.

The Telugu film industry continues to surprise us and I hope this is a sign of more to come.

Innocent Crush (2014)

Dark thriller with a touch of horror.

[8/10 · 14 December 2021]

The film shows the horrific consequences of lustful attraction and how important it is to differentiate between love and lust, especially for today's teens and young adults. Korean cinema never fails to impress.

Sooryavanshi (2021)

Masala entertainer delivers what it promised

[7/10 · 13 December 2021]

Sooryavanshi delivers exactly what you expect from a Rohit Shetty film. Cars blowing up, over the top action, stylish policemen saving the world. The film could have been better without some boring secular scenes weighing on the runtime. Overall a decent family entertainer.

Play Back (2021)

Interesting premise and good execution.

[9/10 · 13 December 2021]

Many films with interesting sci fi premises fall flat in their execution. Play Back stands out because the film's story is told realistically and in an entertaining way. OTT is a great way for such stories to come out and I hope the Telugu film industry delivers.

One Small Story (2021)

Mature approach to a sensitive subject

[9/10 · 12 December 2021]

A film with such a subject could have easily become crass, vulgar, and unwatchable. Instead the writer and director make it mature, realistic and comedic for a family entertainer. The film takes a deep dive into the subject instead of simply making it the butt of jokes. Highly recommeded.

Romantic (2021)

Gangster, police and pyaar.. Old wine in new and sexy bottle.

[7/10 · 10 December 2021]

The formula of gangster, police and love is tried and tested in Indian cinema to the point of exhaustion. This film offers little beyond that. Ketika Sharma is a promising talent. Akash Puri is average. Overall it is old wine in a new, sexy bottle. There is some skin show but not as much as advertised. It is justified in the story.

Crrush (2021)

Everything you expect from a s*x comedy

[7/10 · 8 December 2021]

Decent attempt at a sex comedy from the Telugu film industry. Classic Ravi babu comedy is enjoyable. Love story is sincerely told in between the adult jokes.

Bob Biswas (2021)

Disappointing spinoff with so much potential.

[4/10 · 6 December 2021]

Bob Biswas is a far cry from the character we saw in Kahaani. The film is dull, predictable and ultimately pointless. The drug angle has no purpose to Bob's story. The family drama is completely unnecessary. Abhishek does not come close to the original actor's portrayal. This film had so much potential. A botched attempt at a spinoff.

Miss India (2020)

Bad cup of tea!

[4/10 · 5 December 2021]

Writer's intentions are good but is executed sloppily and lazily. The Ayurvedic tea concept has great potential but it is not shown in detail. There is zero logic in her business journey. And why does she have to leave her family to attain her dreams? Why is family always the villain? Most working women in India work because they have the support of their family. That is the reality. Family is strength not weakness. I expected more from a Telugu movie because Telugu films still respect traditional Indian values.

Most Eligible Bachelor (2021)

Mediocre family film with problematic message

[8/10 · 4 December 2021]

The film encourages divorce or separation if there is no "romance" between a couple. It holds physical attraction greater than understanding and adjusting. But traditional Indian marriages prosper and last a lifetime because we have always understood that physical attraction is temporary. Adjusting leads to a happy married life. Therefore, the message the film tries to give is problematic and unconvincing. The first half is entertaining but the second half is filled with unrealistic situations and annoying decisions the characters make. Overall, a passable film with little to offer.

Euphoria (2019– )

Watchable but completely unrelatable. High school kids, really!?

[2/10 · 1 December 2021]

Euphoria has an average storyline and good character development. But the life and actions of these high school kids is completely unrelatable for someone like me, who was in high school just 10 years ago. Their lifestyle is disgusting and sad. The show focuses only on sex, drugs, alcohol. Do they have no career ambitions or goals? Is this all today's teenagers think about?

Churuli (2021)

Self obsessed art piece with no story.

[2/10 · 30 November 2021]

The director made a whole movie to show a few nice paintings. It has no story, no mood, no character arcs, no depth. I wonder how such movies are made. Most Malayalam movies I have seen are over-hyped. It is time Malayalam cinema makes relatable movies, not artsy and agenda-driven.

Love Story (2021)

MAHA boring movie. Unbearable and irritating.

[2/10 · 26 November 2021]

I was excited to watch a Telugu romantic film, that too with Sai Pallavi. But it was a big disappointment. Story has nothing fresh and is completely predictable. Characters are dull and uninteresting. 2 stars for the songs. They are nice and Sai Pallavi dances well.

Avunu (2012)

Perdect suspense horror film!

[10/10 · 25 November 2021]

I was pleasantly surprised by this relatively unknown film. It unfolds perfectly with its horror and suspense carried out in a completly believable and logical way, rare for most horror films. In addition, there are no cheap jump scares. Film thrills and excites you.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)

Decent superhero film for normal viewers.

[8/10 · 25 November 2021]

For those not caught up with superhero movies, this is a decent passtime. You get the comic dialogues, nice vfx and action. Nothing to write home about. The length could have been longer. Story lacked substance.
