Goat Movie Review : Another treat by Thalapathy for his fans

  Thalapathy Vijay's presence on screen is such that people cannot stop whistling whenever he enters. Another whistle-blowing movie starring Vijay, GOAT, or Greatest of All Time, was released today. The film opens with a good start as there are many characters and surprising scenes initially. The first half is very interesting as it has a lot of twists to keep the audience engaged.  However, when the movie moves towards the second half it starts losing its charm. The pace slows down a lot and the movie starts feeling predictable and detached. The storyline which is very engaging at first fails to build excitement in the second half. Despite a lag in the second half, the end moments of GOAT become quite interesting.  The last 20 minutes of the film bring back the energy and drama which makes the audience reach a good conclusion. The plot of the movie is very predictable but what makes it stand apart is the dramatic finish and strong performances which balance the experienc...

There was a meeting of Netflix with the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on Tuesday and the OTT giant has committed that they will review their content so that they do not hurt the national sentiments of the country.  The series has created controversy because of the hijackers who were involved in the 1999 Indian Airlines hijacking.

Symbiosexuality: A new trend taking the Internet by storm

  Recently, a new form of sexual attraction called symbiosexuality has been identified by researchers. To put it in a simpler form, the term means that a person who has this kind of feeling is connecting themselves to the energy which is already shared between an existing couple.  People who are symbiosexuals find the energy of a partnership appealing and they also want to get involved in the same. They fall in love with the love which is already between two people and want to become a part of that love. Symbiosexuals are extroverts, who want more care, attention and intimacy and do not experience jealousy. Normally, the third person in this relationship is treated poorly and is objectified a lot.  The research on this sexuality is still ongoing and many new findings might be identified after thorough research.
