People confusing a dystopian science fiction with reality and rating this show badly without even watching it are quite narrow minded. The show portrays a IMAGINARY future where women who don’t “uphold” the culture and tradition of the society are taken in as slaves by men who think they can control women. A time when a certain section of the society is taking advantage of the lack of water and clean air and using that scenario to curb freedom of choice. And we see a mother trying to get back to her child after they were forcefully separated and put in a brainwash camp. It’s very fast-paced and immersive. One of the best series I have watched. People are only hating it because many, unfortunately, can’t see beyond religion. I have new found respect for huma quereshi. She is a phenomenal actress! And Deepa Mehta has done the rarely achievable feat of making a very believable, Indian sci-fi drama that many fail at.

It’s a predictable sci-fi with an infuriating story. Genna, who is supposed to be this brilliant AI expert is probably the weakest character onscreen. She acts like a dumb high-school teenager who is in a hurry to present her project to the world that she does not do the required testing before launching M3gan - a child robot into the world. Well, from there follows a predictable story.

So so good! I usually hate action movies because I find most of the “action” too choreographed and heavily CGI dependent. But not this movie. The action sequences are gripping and so so good. The story in itself very very good too and very current with an AI plot. A must watch in the theatres for the full effects.

It’s good! Really good! Both Priyanka and Richard have acted well. Initially, I had my doubts, but 10 mins in I could not stop watching. Cannot believe I have to wait till May 5th for the next episode

Loveddd the movie. Kept me engaged until the very end.

It’s so boring, you want to cry

It’s a pleasant break from small-town movies that blooywood seems to over-do these days. But, it’s quite dark and a little depressing. I really miss the Yash Raj’s mushy romance movies that I grew up on in the 90s and early 00s. I was hoping this was going to be one of those. The themes are similar to Keira Knightly’s Begin Again.

My OCD was triggered watching this. Paris acts like a spoilt teenager who refuses to grow up. I don’t know how to cook, but I damn well know not to wear fringe leather when cooking or sprintz perfume near gas or come out of a grocery store with 10 plastic bags, one each for a different vegetable, when the world is fighting plastic trash. All this is in the first two episodes. She is quite tone deaf. Hate to say it, Kim Kardashian is soooo much more mature than Paris can ever be.

It’s quite a time pass movie if you are into mythology action genre. Like The Mummy, but a little more over-the-top with CGI

Wikipedia has categorised this movie as science fiction which shows how many people, including the editors at Wikipedia, do not understand this movie. It’s not a science fiction but rather a heartbreaking movie about mental illness. It shows how vivid and powerful the dilusions of a person suffering from schizophrenia can be. It is said that 90% of the people suffering from schizophrenia do not believe they are ill and this movie gives insight as to why by taking us inside the head of a character that has schizophrenia. The movie affected me doubly because a close relative of mine suffers from dilusions and I never seem to fully grasp why they are so reluctant to believe they need help - this movie gave me so much insight and at the same time broke my heart a little. Doctors often tell us that it’s important to treat a person with mental health with dignity, respect and kindness. But, when you are dealing with someone who has mental illness and is difficult to handle because they believe their hallucinations are real, it’s often very hard to sympathise with them because you just want them to behave and you yourself lack insight as to what that person is actually going through. This movie really does a fantastic job at showing us the world from a perspective of a man suffering from schizophrenia and really helps one understand him/them better.
