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 those try not to laugh at shitty jokes challenge).

Well, I'd have really liked to have seen this TV series to be amazing. Sadly, the writers just didn't let this miniseries get there. Its disappointing, but at the same time, its a good watch, if not for the entire series but for the good parts which I have to tell you are a must watch. On the whole, I'll give this a 6/10 on IMDb. It just has very short 6 episodes in the first season so you could give it a go without a lot of investment of your time. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Atypical (2017) 'Human behaviour is less like a chicken and more like an albatross. No matter how far an albatross flies, it always returns home. Unless it flies too close to the water and gets eaten by a tiger shark' IMDb Plot Summary: Sam, an 18-year-old on the autism spectrum, decides it's time to find a girlfriend, a journey that sets Sam's mom on her own life-changing path as her son seeks more independence. I am a big fan of Apatow's Freaks and Geeks and when I came to know that a new teenage comedy had come out, I had to, at the very least, check it out. I hated Netflix's last attempt at a teenage show (13 Reasons Why) and hence I was very sceptical about this one. But in the end, Atypical turned out to a be pleasant surprise! This show is about an 18 year old kid in the autism spectrum and how he deals with his daily life, friends and family and most importantly, his quest to find himself a girlfriend. Alongside, we see the lives of his

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

Love at First Fight (2014) 'The army is hard up. It is the number one recruiter in France' 'Number two. The first is McDonald's' IMDb Plot Summary:  Between his friends and the family business, Arnaud's summer looks set to be a peaceful one. Peaceful until he runs into Madeleine, as beautiful as she is brusque, a concrete block of tensed muscles and doomsday prophecies. He expects nothing; she prepares for the worst. He takes things as they come, likes a good laugh. She fights, runs, swims, pushes herself to the limit. Given she hasn't asked him for anything, just how far will he go along with her? It's a love story. Or a story of survival. Or both. This story is about a girl who believes that an apocalypse is on its way and she has to prepare for it, and the way to do that is by joining the hardest military regiment to learn how to survive in the harshest conditions. This story is also about a guy, who has a chance encounter with
