Heart wrenching story. It really takes some guts to watch as some scenes are... way to emotional to watch. Seita does his best to protect his sister, yet falls short. The film gives the audience a perspective on why are humans being cruel to other humans. At some scenes, you might even pause for a while to finish crying.

I consider Nizhal as one of Kunchacko Boban's best portrayals. Now this might be little off topic but storylines with almost believable elements never managed to settle in with audience ( This is my personal opinion). Nizhal revolves around a child who narrates stories of gruesome murders. Coming to the point, unlike how many others pointed, the story was realistic and never swayed with non sensical explanations. Much to the director's appreciation, the setting, visuals, colours were really on point and accentuated the narration. However, the only downer was the slow pace of the movie, which kills some of the eagerness. The cast (supporting and main) executed their job and justified the roles they essayed. Kunchacko Boban has been trying out non- stereotypical roles. Kudos to him for continuing so. If I have to pick something I really liked, it definitely would be the BGM. This movie revolves around an ambiguous subject. I hope if you all watch it with an open mind, you would appreciate the efforts of the director.

The Corona virus quarantine(2020) saw the binge-watch content scavenger in me. Tried many popular series, but most of them were dramas and other stuff. The list for sitcoms were surprisingly few. Most of them were too generic. I have seen some episodes of "The Big Bang Theory" prior to binge watching the entire show. But i was surprised how well the events unfolded in the entire series, kudos to the writers. Yeah there were some jokes which were misogynistic, but none of them seemed to cross the limits. A show's backbone is its cast (and of course the story line). The entire cast lived through their characters, a thing that's rare to come by. Jim Parsons, Jhonny Galecki and Mayim Bialik are my personal picks as some of the finest performances in the show. Even the chemistry between all the characters were real, it had the zing from the beginning. Another actor that does require a special mention is late Carol Ann Susi, despite not appearing physically, made many memorable scenes. All the main and supporting cast did justice to their roles. Also the cameos of legends like Stephen Hawking,Stan Lee, Bill Nye, William Shatner, Elon Musk, Bill Gates made it special too. One interesting to note is TBBT features Sheldon as more childlike, egoistic, self centered; Shledon in the prequel series "The Young Sheldon" seems to be more mature, despite being 9 years old. The story line entwined flawlessly with the random scenarios of each episode. The characters too served the purposed a non of them felt unnecessary. It may not be a masterpiece, but a better one in its own. The show ended gracefully, without unnecessary hulabaloos. It ended without breaking too many hearts, but tears of joy tumbled during the final render of the theme song as a melody. All in all, a recommended piece of content to loosen out your muscles and somethings that you can easily co-relate to if you have nerds as a part of "the other family".

Tumbbad is the kind of rare masterpiece, which doesn't pop out often. A cinematic spectacle, set in the early 20's. This isn't the same myth movie, that loosens it's grip to the storyline halfway. The BGM wasn't too intrusive to dampen the scene. The director has done a brilliant job in capturing the essence and all the actors lived through their characters. The greed towards the treasure was well portrayed, although expected more back story. I wouldn't mind watching this time and again
