Well, at first it was interesting but after that the story didn't really progress as it should've I feel. Everything was scattered the story lines ran parallel without intersecting at a point which was supposed to make some sense. The ending was rushed. No backstory given for the antagonist on why he did what he did. What was his connection with Lena Beck, why did he abducted so many women and killed them eventually, what was the reason behind the rules that he set for them. And most importantly how did he got access to the cctvs where the other characters moved on to. I wish it had more episodes to explain how and why certain events took place.

Overall it was good. It's good to see new concepts emerging in Indian cinema. So Ghost Stories, combines of 4 horror short films directed by Zoya Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap, Dibhakar Banerjee and Karan Johar. It was surprised to see, Karan Johar directing a horror genre film. Out of this 4 stories I feel the story directed by Anurag Kashyap was unique and way different from what we see in Indian horror films. What I felt was, 2 of them were more like fantasies like the one which were directed by Anurag and Dibhakar.Anurag Kashyap story focuses on the effects of mental illness of a lady who had miscarriage in the past. And Dibhakar's story was more like Zombie fiction. Zoya's and Kjo's films we're basic horror with little jumpscares . I feel it's a One time watch.

First of all, hatsoff to the amazing direction of this movie. It's a real story of Dawood's sister , Mrs. Haseena Parker, and her life. it's rare to see such biopics made on such people which we always thought as a bad example in our society. According to me, Haseena Parker is a strong woman who knows what she wants . She's a woman of words and values. But even if she did nothing wrong, she had to face all the criticism due to her brother, who was in Dubai when Haseena was facing the worst time of her life . She also lost her husband. Because of which situations became more worse . But she did what she had to. It was the situation which made her like this.

What a fantastic and well-directed film. Karthik Calling Karthik is a movie that is way ahead of its time. It's on point and conveys what it has to. This movie clearly shows how one's mind can be their biggest friend and an enemy. No one could've enacted Karthik like Farhan Akhtar, he made me feel that emotion, he made me feel like I was in the film. And the example of the Rubix cube was creative like how it was unsolved in the beginning and how it got solved at the end. Kudos to the director for directing such a beautiful piece where it conveys the importance of mental health and its illnesses and how it can affect one's life and the people around him. The music is really beautiful. This movie is a must-watch.

Agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaho toh puri kayanat tumhe usse milne ke koshis mein lag jati hai Finally completed 'The Alchemist' and I must say it was a brilliant read. In our life, everyone has a purpose to serve but for that, we need to realize it. Because nothing comes in handy if we want something we need to strive for it. And also always listen to your heart as it tells you the truth! Because it made me realize why I chose certain things and I don't regret them, this book has made me a bit more confident. The plot was really amazing, unique, and very well written kept me engaged whenever I read it. The second part of the book is the hero because from there the story gets intense and slowly everything starts to fall in place. I loved how the author described different aspects of life in a beautiful way. Characters are very well developed because they can make you feel their existence. Some events were heartwarming, while some were filled with thrill some were sad. And some had hit me hard. The ending was of next level, I was literally amazed by the twist. You gotta read this book at least once in your life!!

It was my first ever book by Haruki Murakami and finally, I completed reading it. Overall I liked the story, it's a simple story and an engaging one. It revolves around death, mental sickness and Love. Every character has their own story and is well explained. I won't deny the fact that the book gets weird in some places and can make one uncomfortable due to a detailed explanation of sexual activities and scenes. The book also focuses on the feeling of loneliness and sadness through which the protagonist goes through. Many such paragraphs moved me, as they beautifully explain the concept of life, death and love. Also, the plot is set in Tokyo and other places in Japan and the scenic description is beautifully done by the author. I would recommend this book to someone who is open-minded and who loves to read the Romance genre because it's a love story.
