From character arcs to music and cinematography, this episode explores why this film left such a lasting impression.

Deva

Welcome back!

In this episode of Suno Bollywood, I break down Shahid Kapoor’s latest action-thriller Deva, now streaming on Netflix. Directed by Roshan Andrews, this Hindi remake of the Malayalam film Mumbai Police follows a tough cop with memory loss who investigates a murder. While Shahid delivers an intense performance, the film struggles with poor CGI and underwhelming dialogues. The action choreography shines, but major plot changes—especially compared to the original—spark questions. Is it worth watching? I share my honest take, from standout moments to missed opportunities. Tune in for a deep dive into Deva and how it compares to its original roots!

Jawan

Welcome back!

In this Suno Bollywood episode, I dive into Shah Rukh Khan’s action-packed blockbuster Jawan, now streaming on Netflix. It’s a Robin Hood-style tale with powerful social commentary, double roles, and massy masala entertainment. I break down Anirudh’s sensational soundtrack, Vijay Sethupathi’s standout villain performance, and SRK’s cringy-yet-cute jokes. We also talk references to DDLJ, Chaiyya Chaiyya, and how Atlee blends South Indian action with Bollywood flair. With layered storytelling, strong messaging, and a fun mix of drama, romance, and patriotism, this film leaves a lot to talk about. Tune in for my take on everything Jawan gets right (and wrong)!

Dabba CartelWelcome back! In this Suno Bollywood episode, I share my thoughts on Netflix’s new female-led series Dabba Cartel. It’s a gripping, stylish drama about five women whose dabba delivery business turns into a secret drug empire. Created by Shibani Dandekar Akhtar and directed by Hitesh Bhatia, the show features a powerhouse cast—Anjali Anand, Nimisha Sajayan, Jyothika, Shabana Azmi, and more. I talk about the incredible casting, pan-India talent, sharp writing, and why the background score totally surprised me. This is representation done right, with layered characters and entertaining storytelling. If you’re into crime thrillers with a twist—this one’s a must-watch!

Nadaaniyan

In the debut episode of Suno Bollywood, I dive into my honest reaction to the Hindi film Nadaniyaan, starring Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor. Despite high hopes—especially for Ibrahim’s big Bollywood launch—the film left me pretty disappointed. From cringey writing and unrealistic plot points to awkward dubbing, it was tough to enjoy. That said, Khushi’s fashion really stood out (except one hilarious outfit), and the creative doodle edits and credit scene were lovely touches. I also loved the surprise appearances by familiar 2000s stars. It wasn’t all bad—but yeah, definitely not the debut I was hoping for.
