The Perfect Couple Review: A perfect murder mystery with outstanding performances

  Netflix is going on the path of HBO by making a murder mystery series which comments on the rich, side characters narrating the events adding the spice which led to the killing and from director Susanne Bier who has previously worked with Nicole Kidman as a director in The Undoing. The series has been adapted from the 2018 novel by Elin Hidebrand.  It can be compared to The White Lotus and Big Littel Lies. Although the show might differ from what HBO makes, it is an exciting page-turner that wastes less time. The story revolves around Meghan Fahy who is murdered while swimming near a high-profile and isolated island. The marriage of Nicole Greer, played by Nicole Kidman, is very complicated. She and her husband Tag, played by Liev Schreiber, cannot leave each other despite their unstable relationship.

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...

The accused has said she was locked in a room and was not given food or water and when the water was given it was filled with drugs. The victim's phone was with the accused and she was blackmailed if she did not obey them the actor would kill her family.  There is a lot of trouble going on in the Malayalam film industry as many prominent actors and leaders are getting named in such cases after...

IC 814 Kandahar Hijacking Netflix Controversy

IC 814 Kandahar Hijacking has been released on Netflix recently and has already started creating controversy. 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. They have been given nicknames like Burger, Bhola, Shankar, Cheif and Doctor. Some people think this type of characterization shows the hijackers in a human light, leading to public outbursts.  The ministry demanded an explanation from Netflix India about such kind of insensitive and harmful elements in the series as there are real-life elements depicted in the series. However, Netflix has claimed that the series is made with all the public resources which includes government statements and books.  The hijacking was done by the...

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.

Survival of the fittest : A different take on Darwin's theory of evolution

Charles Darwin was the founder of the Theory of Evolution, which states that only the fittest will survive. As we progress today, the main question is who is the fittest among all and who will be the ultimate survivor, who will beat everything and survive to the end.  As time progresses, we see that nobody is fit enough to survive. Either the pandemics or the people themselves have become enemies of each other. Everything has changed drastically. It is very difficult to comprehend who will be the ultimate survivor.  To survive, everyone has their own set of rules and regulations. There is no fixed set of survival rules for everyone. This is because everyone has their own limitations. So everyone needs to survive on their own. Ultimately, what is important is survival. Who will be the fittest enough to survive will always remain a difficult question to answer.

Safety of Women in India

Women's Safety has been discussed worldwide for a very long time. However, the fact remains that women still remain a soft target for all the beasts around the world. If we talk about India, the country is soon becoming a criminal country where women are not safe and secure. Many of the cases against women remain unnoticed. The reason behind these increasing crime rates varies from person to person.  The fact remains that as we are developing the country's crime rate is also increasing. This is because many criminal cases go unnoticed as they are being implicated in the lower classes or people tend to ignore such news as they call it negative which has a bad impact on their mindsets. The police of our nation also salute those who have power in their hands despite the fact laid down by the Constitution that everybody is a criminal in the eyes of the law and you are not above the law.  Recently, a case happened in Kolkata where an on-duty doctor was raped and killed. This i...

Is it important to go for PDAs with someone you love?

PDA or what we can call as Public Display of Affection is something a couple does to display their love and affection publicly in front of the world. Most couples think this to be good and natural. However, in my opinion, this should be done in private. The reason behind it is that you love each other is good but the world does not need to know this.  It is good to have love and affection towards each other but the entire world doesn't have to know this. There is a limit to everything and when done accordingly it looks good and suitable otherwise it looks cheap and vulgar.  Everybody has their own opinions about a specific thing and it is good. I am not imposing anything but this is something which one should always understand and think of. 

How glamourizing everything has become a trend in the modern world

There was a time when everything was simple, sober and people used to be happy with whatever they had. However, as time passed things started changing drastically and today everybody wants more of everything and are ready to go to any lengths for it. For instance, if we look at the weddings of yesteryear and today a lot has changed. In yesteryears, everything used to be very simple including traditions and rituals. There was more fun element in those days than today. Today, everybody is just after looking their best even if they have to spend unlimited money for the same. It is saddening to see that we have started running so much after trends that we have forgotten the real meaning of things which actually matter. The run after the Western culture is so much that the Westerners are adopting our trend and we are adopting their trends.  I do not say what is wrong or right but in my opinion, one should do only what one is capable of and not extend their limits of doing anything as no...

How Bollywood has created humour out of marriage and its rituals

Bollywood has always been an inspiration for a few people. They follow celebrities blindly and try to do what they are doing. However, few stars have made humour out of the marriage and many people even follow that trend without giving it any second thoughts.  For example, when any favourite celebrity goes for a divorce many commoners who love that particular celeb follow the trend without giving it any second thought. Almost all actresses do not apply sindoor after marriage and many girls follow the trend of not doing the same.  It is okay for you to follow something positive when a celebrity is doing so otherwise, it is wrong to follow the wrong trends set by them because by doing so you are destroying your own life. 

Crappy Remakes and Bollywood: How this relationship goes a long way

There is nothing new about Bollywood making crappy remakes and people criticizing them. Whether it is films or songs these remakes have destroyed many beautiful pieces and films. Although there is no denying that some remakes are excellent but some of them are unwanted and very irritating. It is important to understand what can be copied and what can be left off. Everything need not be copied and destroyed as it finishes the beauty of the original and nothing substantial is left for the audience to listen. It is high time that Bollywood understands what needs to be copied and what needs to be left out. There is no point in creating something if the beauty of the original is destroyed. Although people get habituated to listening to crappy remakes this should be halted. 

How necessary it is to control food wastage during marriage

Food wastage during the marriage is becoming common these days. Although it is a common problem that one should waste food but marriage is an occasion where a lot of food is wasted. More than in olden times, wastage has increased to a great level today. This is because there is a starter course before the main course and so many food options are available that everybody wants to have everything which leads to a lot of food being thrown away like that. Both guests and hosts need to limit the number of items on their plates.  Everyone needs to understand that the food they eat in marriage is from the hard-earned money of a girl's father so this should not be wasted.

How ego clash can destroy any relationship

If we look at the relationships of olden times whatever it is there were little or no ego clashes between them. However, if we look at modern relationships, the gaps between people have significantly increased, leading to many problems.  Today nobody wants to say sorry or become quiet in case of an argument. Everything takes a gruesome turn leading to house wreckage. A lot of things have changed but today impatience has reached its height.  Nobody wants to reach a compromise and everybody wants to prove themselves right. You might be right but you need to understand that there at that point it is better to be quiet. Let the other person think and analyze where they are wrong and what needs to be improved.  Thus, destroying a relationship due to ego is not justified and one should not take anything in granted. 

Is it right to blame Muslim girls for getting engaged to Hindu boys?

Recently, Ira Khan, daughter of Aamir Khan got engaged to her boyfriend Nupur Shikahre and Aamir Khan was criticised for this move. He was called a traitor as his daughter got engaged to a Hindu. Nobody realized that Khan himself had two Hindu wives.  Muslims have always had a no-tolerance policy when their daughters get married to Hindus. However, when their boys do that they will never object. Recently, a Hindu girl was killed by her Mulsim boyfriend and chopped into pieces; not a single Muslim objected.  This is a high-end partiality from Muslims. If you do not want your girls to get married to a Hindu then you should not allow your boys to marry a Hindu. This is something which cannot and should not be tolerated.  However, blaming the Government entirely for this is also not correct. Still, I believe that the government should make some norms for Muslims to stop exploiting Hindus for their personal and religious benefits. 

How OTT is creating content way better than films

Although we have been watching Bollywood films lately we have realized that the scriptwriting of the films is largely based on fantasy rather than reality. Realistic films get rejected by the audience as people do not understand their underlying message.  OTT content has become way better than films and people are getting inclined towards it. Their relativeness towards reality makes us inclined towards the content. OTT has given some wonderful shows and many Bollywood actors are also working on OTT proving that it is a better platform than films.  It is high time that Bollywood should learn to make good content from OTT so that people get to watch something good and not a trash and unrealistic film which is completely based on the imagination of a writer and has no relation with reality. 

Karan Johar: A man who successfully destroys a rising star's career

Even if he makes unrealistic fantasy romantic films people still believe that romance. My dear friends, this is Karan Johar's introduction for all. He is known to be the flagbearer of nepotism and more than outsiders launch star kids even if they lack talent.  He is also famous to be a destroyer of rising stars talent by offering them films which can make their worth zero. Although most people refuse to believe this nonsense this is the actual reality. He has destroyed the careers of a few outsiders and tried the same with Kartik Aaryan.  While the shooting for Dostana 2 was going on where Aaryan was supposed to be the lead he was shown the door for being unprofessional and his image would have been tarnished had Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 not come into the picture.  Bhool Bhualiyaa 2 saved his career and today most of the directors have praised him for being professional which makes us wonder whether the claims by Johaw were true or if he was just trying to sabotage the career of...
