Woah! What a week it was. Firstly, we are both traveling, and in between all the time zones, we managed to watch, review, and bring this to you Friday Night Plan on @netflix was sooooooo coool. I loved the simple movie with no specific agenda, and Babil Khan shines through and through. Freelancer on @hulu / Hotstar was intense - with only four epis…

Ayushmann Khurrana is back with Dream Girl 2 and boy is he the Pooja of our lives. While the movie carries on with the jokes from its last rendition, Ayushmann is a treat to watch. What Ananya is doing in the movie is not known as we could not figure out what was more wooden- the table or her expression. Ouch. No seriously. Dream Girl 2 is in theat…

A long pod this week and we got to cover Three movies and two series that hit the waves.

One movie was released this week. You heard that right. It seems everyone else moved their releases because the uninitiated King of Hindi Filmmaking KJo wanted to release his magnum opus after 25 long years. And guess what - he seems to have lost the plot. By a huge margin. Listen to us break that down. You can download our pod everywhere you get y…

The famous Barbhiemer weekend and we got all the moves for you. For once, #Barbie and #Oppenheimer show us why going to the movies is such a treat.

We started the week with Social Currency on Netflix where we struggled to keep our sanity, Kafas on SonyLiv was hard to watch yet gripping.

Desislive podcast delivers the latest movie…

Hellow Hellow We have an explosive episode this week. And it seems to be a Kunal Kemmu week with one movie and a show releasing the same day!

Streams on #sonyliv. #Monic…

Four movies. Yaas people, four. Here they are, We love crass slapstick humor so we absoeffingly loved Phone Bhoot and every trope, every bad, lowly joke, every burlywood jibe that they belted out.
