Tripling (2016) IMDb Plot Summary: Divorced, jobless, hopeless. Three siblings plan a road trip together. Chandan, Chanchal & Chitvan. Together they start a hilarious journey, to find themselves and their relations. Tripling is the story of three siblings who, although haven't been in close touch for a long time, end up taking a road trip as a result of unforeseen circumstances and end up re-kindling their relationship in the process. This one's an Indian TV miniseries and I have to say that its bloody brilliant for most parts. The only major flaw here though is that the last 1 1/2 episodes fall short in terms of the script where it becomes way too slow and drags on and on. It would have worked really well for the show had it cut down on one episode and made the ending much more tighter. Anyhow, the show's still really good and one of the really good feel good shows that I have watched. An IMDb 9/10. Ref:  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6005644/

Bisht, Please! (2017) IMDb Summary: The misadventures of a good girl. 'Bisht, Please!' is an Indian TV miniseries that tells the story about a 'good' old fashioned girl, Bisht, who tries to do everything by the rules. She ends up getting pushed around by everyone and hence everyone around her takes advantage of her and asks her to do tasks for them, succeeded with a meaningless 'please'; a request that she will always oblige (hence the title!). While this TV series has some really amazing moments, the script falls short by a mile. Some parts are so splendidly written, while the others just drag along way too much. This series contains some amazing dark and sexual humour, which is not so commonly seen in Indian live action media and is a pleasant surprise. There are places in this miniseries where the silliest of jokes are played out but they are so amazingly placed and so well executed that its guaranteed to make you laugh (its like one of

Rememory (2017) 'Without memories, the present would be void of context' IMDb Plot Summary:  The widow of a wise professor stumbles upon one of his inventions that's able to record and play a person's memory. The IMDb plot summary for this movie doesn't do this film any justice. So this is what the movie is all about. Gordon Dunn has invented a machine that can fetch the memories of a person, anything a person has even lived through even if he doesn't remember it himself, up to the minutest detail and play it back to them as a video on a screen. One day, he mysteriously dies. This is when a strange man, Sam, played by Peter Dinklage, goes around trying to find out how Gordon died, suspecting that foul play was involved. This movie will take you on an emotional ride. If you are looking for an 'experience', this movie is the one for you. Dim the lights, put on your headphones and let the movie do its magic. Its got some awesome soundtra

Narcos (2015) 'To kill a monster, sometimes, you have to get in bed with other monsters. If that surprises you, pick up a history book. Its what we do; the enemy of my enemy is my friend' IMDb Plot Summary:  A chronicled look at the criminal exploits of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar, as well as the many other drug kingpins who plagued the country through the years. The first two seasons of this genius TV show was about the drug lord Pablo Escobar. Now everyone knows about Pablo and so the fact that he dies at the end of it all should come as no surprise to anyone. And since the first two seasons were solely focused on Escobar and his empire and everything that surrounded his reign, with his death, we all decided without even giving it a second thought that this amazing TV show had come to an end. And today I browse the internet to find Narcos has hit us all with another season! This time focusing on the Cali cartel that grew while everyone was focused on Pab

Bloodline (2015) 'Sometimes, you know something's coming' IMDb Plot Summary:  A family of adult siblings find that their past secrets and scars are revealed when their black sheep of a brother returns home. Its pretty weird how it took me two years since it aired to watch a TV series with such a compelling plot line. Anyways, I'm glad that I did. So here's the gist of what this show is all about. The Rayburns are a wealthy family who own a huge beach-side resort and are very respected by the community. One day, one of the oldest sun of the old man Rayburn who is living a wasteful life in Miami comes home and along with him surfaces some childhood secrets that give way to a disastrous chain of events. While the plot in itself is interesting, the only problem with this show is that the script isn't engrossing enough and after the first few episodes, the plot that develops seems very un-compelling and too much stretched out. Had this TV s

The Founder (2016) 'You know what? Contracts are like hearts. They are meant to be broken' IMDb Plot Summary:  The story of Ray Kroc, a salesman who turned two brothers' innovative fast food eatery, McDonald's, into the biggest restaurant business in the world with a combination of ambition, persistence and ruthlessness. I know that a lot of people hate McDonalds. I on the other hand absolutely love it; in fact, its my favourite fast food franchise, always has been. And this is the story of the man who helped bring this food industry empire to a stage where it feeds 1% of the world's population everyday. The story of McDonald's is available all over the internet, but I'll put a short version of it here. Two brothers with the family name McDonald started a restaurant called McDonalds that served burgers in 30 seconds instead of the standard 30 minutes; at that time, this was a giant feat and no one had done something like this before.
