This week we review three series and a movie and it was quite a show.
Not only because we are Sacue but we are smart and aweee to the core.
No cap.
Boomika is streaming on @netflix and Shriya totally liked the horror flick. She thought the movie was stitched together by #AishwaryaRajesh's performance.
#Cartel on @altbalaji was #TanujVirwani and #RitvikDhanjani's show. Miraal found it pretty riveting.
What Scott was animated about was the historical fiction series #TheEmpire on @hotstarusa and we had a lovely discussion about the advent of the Mughals into the Indian subcontinent.
And then Miraal reviewed the brand new series on @sonyliv - Chalo Koi Baat Nahi which is a comical satire a la SNL style about the Indian contemporary culture and attitude which she thought was quite funny.

We also added excerpts of the fan review of #kuchrangpyarkeaisebhi the series on @sonytv which is making waves with its story and performances.
Have a listen. 
We are seriously Sacue-- say that with the accent it deserves.

The show has a new writer: Harneet Singh. We hope that does not change the composition of the characters; we are hoping that it does not; as fans of these very complex characters that we have seen evolved since Season one, it will be a pitza. The scene with Ayush suddenly calling Sonakshi “Ma” was out of sync with Ayush’s progression of relationships with both Dev and Ayush. Even Suhana has no usual response.

 It looked rushed and overhasty in an attempt to close the Ayush track and start the third woman angle. Almost precipitous.

 Dev is at the florist buying roses for his wife and hand writes a note to her apologizing for his insensitivity when his bouquet gets lifted by another customer as the careless florist lets that happen. That other customer reads the letter and assumes that the person writing the letter must have written it for his girlfriend. Intrigued at the fact that someone still writes love notes in this age of emails, she takes a fancy towards Dev.

We have a crazy time this week reviewing two movies and a comedy show.
Can you imagine sitting through a dad-joke competition? That's what we realized that #ComedyPremiumLeague is. Plays on Netflix and is quite a joke.

We absolutely love the @zee5 original movie 200 Halla Bol and feel that we should clearly start conversing about the malice of the caste system in India. This movie was indeed stellar.

We also absolutely were thrilled by the quality of #Bellbottom, the new Akshay Kumar espionage thriller and we review it here for you as well. It is playing in theatres for now but will eventually find its way to Amazon for you.

Let us know what you think. 
Love. 
Scott, Miraal and Shriya.

What a busy patriotic week !!! 
We watched not one but two patriotic flicks. And we did not balk.
Miraal watched both so that left Scott and Shreya with the over-easy parts.
We review a very pleasant Shershaah streaming on @amazonprimevideo which we actually loved. Fall in love with Sid Malhotra again and again and again. That man is joonas. Scott wanted to educate himself about Sikhism and we did it. We did it.
The music is fab tho'

We also review Bhuj which streams on @hotstarusa and we weren't that impressed by the execution of a great story. We were not alone. Seems Devgn had the same expression of interest.
Malik was supelative.  Fahadh Faasil has a fan in Shreya.
And Scott was not so impressed with Nayanthara and #Netrikann which released on @hotstarusa as well.
Write to us and tell us which one of these did you catch up on. 
But hear our banter first. We are good at those things. 
See you next week !! You know we love ya.

Also, hear our daily playlist 9 PM pst @desislive channel on Station head.
Don't miss and tell us what songs you want us to play - we are taking requests...
Signing off.....

Shreya and Miraal have a go at it without Scott this week.

They reviewed 2 series and a movie and the convo was rad

Shreya - our token rep from Washington DC who really is supposed to represent the south o India is in infancy with Tamil as a language. But she did watch “Navarasa” or “nine emotions” in Tamil and experienced one emotion per episode. 

Actually, whatever else everyone else says, Shreya holds that she did enjoy and quite liked the anthology.  Hear her go at it. Catch it on @netflix

Miraal watched Dial 100 and reviewed this Zee movie for you. She is ready to say wo ai ni to Manoj if she ever sees him so Manoj, if you read this. Run. Cuz Marijane.

Actually to say MK cried watching a series made us so ofoc that we thought she was dt (Delirium tremens). But it seems Dhoop Ki Deewar has that effect on emo peeps.
So if you love that variety, this week do watch this @zee5 show fo sho.

So all in all a very fun week of show and movie watching for us and reviewed here for you. We hope you enjoy our banter as we did having it for you.

And yes, VIVO, that movie on @netflix. Don't miss it for the world. It will make you believe in love all over again.

Catch y'all next week 

Love,
Desis

Scott and Miraal reviewed three series and a movie this week.
A lot - right?

But the fun,  it was chatty, and don't you listen to them for just those jokes.

Hostel Daze, playing on @amazonprimevideo  is based in an exclusive engineering college where students from disparate families fantasizing of a rosy campus life end up with just the boy's attention, the dorm life, and the struggles with academics, womenfolk, sexuality, and the solving other differences with each other.

Mimi is a  Ranveer Singh Fangirl and a tourist spot dancer from Rajasthan who agrees to be a surrogate for an American couple. The social, psychological, and emotional implications of her decision only seep in when the couple decides they do not want to keep the baby at the first instance of the fetus detecting a probable down syndrome condition. Based on an acclaimed Marathi film ‘Mala Aai Vhhaychy!’ by Samruoddhi Porey, Mimi is cleverly tailored by Laxman Utekar. Screenwriter Rohan Shankar makes sure that the Hindi version has its own personality and uniqueness while preserving the soul of the original. Playing on @netflix is a treat to watch.

Season 2 of City of Dreams picks up from the volatile climax episode of Season 1. Amey Rao Gaikwad (Atul Kulkarni), the  Chief Minister of Maharashtra, is now restricted to his wheelchair after an attack on his life.
His daughter Poornima Rao Gaikwad (Priya Bapat) makes herself the Chief Minister with the support of cop-turned-politician Wasim Khan (Eijaz Khan), and ex-Home Minister Jagdish Gurav (Sachin Pilgaonkar), after removing her druggie brother, Ashish (Siddharth Chandekar).
Season 2 sees the father-daughter go against each other to seize power; playing on @hotstarusa

Directed by Simarpreet Singh, Chutzpah has distinct yet interrelated stories. Kevin Paul (Gautam Mehra) is a content creator, whose defining trait is reminding everyone to ‘like, share, comment. All he wants is getting the attention of fashionable influencer Deepali Shah (Aashima Mahajan). His friend Prateek Chawla (Kshitij Chauhan), boasts about being a seducer who can charm any woman into his bed.

Rishi (Manjot Singh) is a bashful guy who battles to talk to women and turns to porn sites to accomplish his aspirations. His fav camgirl Wild Butterfly (Elnaaz Norouzi), conceals a secret of her own.

Vikas Bhalla (Varun Sharma) is a spoiled Punjabi boy, who strives to adapt to the ‘atmanirbhar (independent)’ life in Boston, as he maintains a long-distance relationship with his university girlfriend Shikha (Tanya Maniktala). Playing on  @Sonyliv, watch #chutzpah

Fun it was !!!! Hope you have fun hearing us too... Let us know how you liked it...

A very busy weekend with a lot of releases coming on every possible platform, so you bet we were very busy.
With Hungama2 on @hotstarusa killing all our aspirations, Shilpa Shetty still kept our hopes high on that smoldering look and a bombastic come back to the big screen. And eh don't miss the hottie Meezan. Total studmuffin.

14Phere on @zee5usa review triggered our discussion about the quintessential Indian Caste system. And then of course, given the intensity with which one of the actresses defended the story by creating a higher moral ground for Indian values of approval of elders in life's decisions, we went into a tangent with stereotypes that Indians have about Americans. Quite a riot. You can watch the drama unfold in our review of this movie on our Youtube Channel

https://youtu.be/jT5AZBHF-6s

We also review two series ( Actually 3 but leave the third for next week for the paucity of time).
#FeelsLikeIshq on @netflix delves into the various hues of love and warmth and its impediments.  These six stories from directors Ruchir Arun, Tahira Kashyap Khurrana, Anand Tiwari, Danish Aslam, Jaydeep Sarkar, and Sachin Kundalkar touch range from commitment phobia to first meetings and crushes, as the series sets out to explore amorous concepts of love at different stages of life.

#Chutzpah streaming on @sonlyliv  delves into how the online world of social media has alienated a lot of people a reality that exists in their proximity.  Using the cliched figures of speech, including a social media sensation grappling with body image problems and a John Tucker Must Die type plot to bring down a misogynistic womanizer.

Directed by Simarpreet Singh, Chutzpah has distinct yet interrelated stories. Kevin Paul (Gautam Mehra) is a content creator, whose defining trait is reminding everyone to ‘like, share, comment.

Shreya is back from her surgery so you betcha she got a singing warm welcome from Scott and Miraal. 
On that note, Never Have I Ever was a riot. No seriously, When is the Season 3 out folks? I cannot wait to see these funny characters in action again. Devi is such a dork. It is absolutely pheno seeing someone like us on screen and even more pheno seeing the tables turned on sexism on screen when the one we are ogling the body  of a man rather than that of a man.
Fair View.
The Swot analysis on dating options was perhaps our most fav nerd feat. More of this fare plz @netflix. Thanks @mindykaling for making brown representation so fricking amazingly beaut.

Toofan- sigh. All about that body. That of the Akhtar buoy.  No cap. 
The story of the Indian raging bull with all the isms that you can throw in including a meandering plot.  Watch it for the body tho'.  Streams on @primevideo

The find of the year is this absolutely sick series that Asim Abbassi seems to have dreamt up and written on dream parade cuz not only do we love it, we are in love with it.
There has not been a totally perfect series made ever. But if there were - it will have to be #Churails.
Everything about the series is measured and perfectly fits in with the narrative that flows chronicling the lives of four vigilantes who though belonging to different stratums of the society, with varied motivations - would want one thing.
End of patriarchy. 
Streams on @zee5usa and you must not miss it if you are a feminist at heart - man or woman. We highly recommend this show.
