The first in the trilogy but which I saw last has everything that we expect of it. The family consisting of two daughters & the couple doing their hattrick! The elder daughter meets with an accident & the other, our protagonist is a firebrand. Not good at academics but can write so well. The neighboursContinue reading “Reply 1997”

A short film made in 2015 emphasising the role of organ donation. The waiting list is long always. The brain dead Sumedh is on ventilator & his mother has to say one ‘Yes’. Even for a doctor mom such a decision is so traumatic. The best thing about this film by Sumitra Bhave & SunilContinue reading “Phir Zindagi”

Going through the clips again did not make me comfortable. The reason why I am not watching ‘While You were Sleeping’ is because I simply cannot have the heroine go over to another hero when she has Jung Hae -in with her! Also in “Reply 1988” he barely had one run in with the leadingContinue reading “The second lead syndrome”

A drama which has Chilbong in the lead. A simple plot & very simple people leading a simple life on the Jeju island. As the lead pair comes in their lives they have excitement & entertainment in hordes. Till the last episode the story continues to unfold but the mystery is shrouded by the presentContinue reading “Warm & cozy”

A Hindi film that I had been meaning to see for ages! On You tube I found everything but the entire feature film. I watched everything that had the poster so most of the Taapsee Pannu films along with a few others were on offer & I saw most of them! Yet the fact remainedContinue reading “Thappad”

Every Indian has a special memory about this date. The flag hoisting at school,celebrating the independence, freedom from the long slavery & generally having a unique feeling as you move down the roads!

I had seen the first episode long time ago that I had completely forgotten about it. The character ‘Chilbong’ made me see it again. Here is then a full fledged role for him! As the laid back chef of a restaurant , Warm & Cozy on Jeju island he has very little to do tillContinue reading “Warm & Cozy”

My first brush with murder mysteries must have been Agatha Christie novels. Enid Blyton had mysteries dealing with small thefts & the five find outers or the famous five solved them.Normally nobody got killed. With intrigue,mystery & thefts, came murder. The marathi magazine ‘Dakshata’ had the stories in details. The emphasis more on how wasContinue reading “Murder…they say”

After finishing the show, I feel the ‘Reply 1988’ is the best. Just started with the third in the series ‘Reply 1997’ but I have this strong feeling. It has Park Bo Gum & Go Kyung pyo, sure but the story is better. The families have such ties that have become extinct today. Each familyContinue reading “Reply 1994”
