After her boyfriend breaks up with her Indoo (Kiara Advani) seeks for a new, perfect partner online and there she meets Samar (Aditya Seal) who is Pakistani. A terrorist is also on the loose in the city. This movie focuses on the friendships, the relations between India and Pakistan.
What’s to like about INDOO KI JAWANI?
India’s view from a Pakistani’s eyes and Pakistani’s view from an Indian eye
What are some problems with INDOO KI JAWANI?
It is very un-funny and stretched uselessly.
Lack of punch lines
Though the humor is missing but some lines border line silly.
What do we have to say about it?
We give this movie a ⅕ stars. From full-on Pakistan-bashing to half-hearted jingoism and from preaching about not judging a book by its cover to saying that all Indians are highly judgmental, ‘Indoo Ki Jawani’ tries to go everywhere and reaches nowhere. The film’s narrative seems a bit confused. It seems a total waste of time. It is too focused on mining laughs from the girl’s awkward attempts to lose her virginity.
The Good Place talks about their version of afterlife and their version of heaven and hell. According to them there is no such thing as heaven or hell. Every person who dies either goes to a good place or goes to a bad place and one human even placed in a medium place because of her on-going trial is going on since decades.
There are points counted and all the people who did more good than bad go to the good place and the rest go to the bad place as both the name suggests. All place have Janet who works like Siri. You call her name and she appears and she knows EVERYTHING.
The protagonist Elenor thinks that by mistake she is placed in the good place and she tries to modify her behaviour by learning philosophy from her soulmate Chidi.
There is also Tahini and Jason who are paired soulmates. The soulmates are paired using artificial intelligence. Jason appears to have taken an oath of silence and Tahini who is a beauty who just loves to throw a party and be her fabulous self.
Eventually, Eleanor realizes that the four humans have actually been in an experimental Bad Place all along, chosen by Michael who poses as the architect of that good place, to torture each other emotionally and psychologically for eternity.
In the second season, Michael tries to wipe out the memories of all 4, Elanor, Chidi, Jason and Tahani but each time they figure out that it is bad place all along. There is a judge, who hears the cases and gives her final verdict on any situation. She is savage and she loves watching TV shows.
In the third season, all 4 come to earth and take part in a research study with Chidi’s colleague Simon. They learn about the afterlife, they also learn that no one has entered into the good place since centuries and they report this to the judge.
In the final season, they experiment to check if humans can improve their behaviour and show positive results. This way the 4 people and Micheal and Janet earn their place in the good place. But the good place soon becomes boring and then Elnor comes up with the solution of ending their afterlife by peacefully exiting the good place.
In the last episode, Jason, Chidi and Elanor choose to leave the good place, Tahani becomes the good place architect and Michael is allowed to live on Earth.
What’s to like about THE GOOD PLACE?
Lead women
People who are not good while they were living change after they die
Its hilarious
Unique storyline
Twists and turns
Carefully crafted world
you cannot swear in the good place
What do we have to say about it?
We would like to give 5/5. There are not enough shows with this storyline, it is something unique in itself. Give it a go and you might like it.
These are our top 3 comedy Bollywood movies which we find that it makes us laugh our hearts out.
The Golmaal Series – This is a very fun series of 4 films which have a basic 4 orphans who grew up together and in each movie they have logger heads and the movie goes on. it has a very light comedy and a family film which everyone can enjoy.
2. Hera Pheri & Phir Hera Pheri – This is once again a sequel and light comedy. The trio of Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Sunil Shetty is epic and this movie is again definitely a must watch and for all ages. it just has pure comedy unlike the movies of the current era which cannot provide comedies without having double meaning jokes. If you are a Bollywood fan than you would have definitely watched this movie.
3. Chup Chup Ke – This movie is situational comedy with mistaken identities. This movie is highly under-rated one and also a must watch. It is Kareena’s and Shahid’s best work together. It is a slow movie but not a boring one.
All the Christmas films I’ve watched so far give us warmth and embrace us with the holidays festivities. This year Netflix presented us with “Holidate” starring Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey.
” Why does the next girlfriend always have to be younger and hotter”
Sloane (Holidate)
It is a movie about Sloane (Roberts) and Jackson (Bracey) who are single for a very long time. They accidently meet in a mall during Christmas and indulge in a conversation about Holidate – which means having a date only for the holidays. They start doing that for all the holidays like New Year’s, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s day and Halloween. Till halloween they have started to develop feelings for each other but are not able to express it. Jackson tells her his feelings but she thought he was just being sympathetic and at Christmas Sloane publicly expresses her love for him.
Throughout the movie Sloane seems very irritating in every way. The first words which come out her mouth are “Fucking Holidays” and from that we can sense the tone of the film. This movie falls in the rom-com category but it fails to provide either of them. And it’s just a jumble of both and in a very terrible way.
The poster and the trailer seemed very positive but the movie didn’t give that quality of humor. So we can always watch the classic’s and spend our holidays.
A total countryside America shown with an unappealing opening to it. It is a story of a wealthy family which goes bankrupt and they have to start again from square one in a small town which they bought years ago as a joke.
This is a very under-rated show with the best quirky humour. It has the best storyline, genuinely funny jokes and heart-warming. Love the character of each and every Rose. and talk about Moira’s vocabulary!!
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this show! I also love how each and every character evolves with the passing of time and in each and every new season they are a bit more evolved. The most change can be found in David.
” I don’t think parenting books would approve of you saying this to me “
David Rose (Schitt’s Creek)
Throughout the show I was rooting out for Stevie and David. They are so good together and even gave hints that they will end but together but then David goes with someone else and gets married to him.
As soon as the mismatched group gets to know each other they start to get along really well. Each and every joke is perfectly timed and beautifully executed. Alexis Rose seems to be my spirit animal. Just love the way she talks. In Fact just love the way everyone talks, like everyone has an accent.
” David stop acting like a Disgruntled Pelican “
Moira Rose (Schitt’s Creek)
Moira and David seem to be the star of the show to me. Even after watching the whole show I haven’t found a single episode where I did not laugh out loud. It’s really a tricky show to get into but trust me it’s worth the watch. It gives us honest laughs and the characters become like a family.
I feel 2020 is Vikrant’s year. He did good work in Dolly Kitti Aur woh Chamakte Sitare, then even in Cargo he did a good job, and now with Ginny weds Sunny. He even has Mirzapur Season 2 in his pipeline. It seems this is his year to shine. We have seen him in many various roles and here he seems to be super let out and chilled.
So now about the movie, it’s super predictable. Boys like the girl, but she’s in love with another guy but then she starts falling for the boy and then after a lot of hiccups they get married and everyone is happy.
Yami and Vikrant did a good job. But their chemistry is not that pleasing to our eyes. It can also like so because Vikrant is seen in these types of fun roles like this. Yami as always is awesome and truly fit for the role. The role of Sunny could be more audience appealing if played by Ayushmann Khurrana or Rajkumar Rao.
The loving thing about this movie is the supportive families of both the sides. No matter how spoit the children are, the parents always supported them. There is a “I know my daughter well” mum who wants her daughter to get settled and have a family.
This movie can be described as Jab We Met but 10 times less fun and way too boring. This movie has some sloppy scenes which were not at all needed in the first place. It seemed they were trying way too hard to push the movie after the interval.
This movie can only be seen if you are a Yami or Vikrant fan. Or else it can be very boring to watch the whole film even when you just want to pass your time during the lockdown.
I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS ENOUGH!! It is an irresistible fantasy. It is the best chick flick movie I’ve seen so far in 2020. Being a Darren Star movie we cannot expect anything less than this. We are all aware of his masterpiece, Sex and the City (both series and movies) and it needs no introduction.
Why this series stands out than others –
EMILY!! EMILY!! EMILY!! EMILY!!
The city of love – PARIS
The clothes worn by everyone
Mindy, Emily and Camille
It has a total of 10 episodes in a season with about 25 min average per episode. You can binge watch it in a go. It shows a story of a girl who was not supposed to end up for a year in Paris but as her boss cannot go, she gets the chance to go.
” Chinese people are mean behind your back. French people, mean to your face “
Mindy (Emily in Paris)
Emily faces many many challenges in Paris but she always pleases everyone and her charm is loved and she is wanted by everyone. Though there are some cliche parts like there is a bitch boss who till the very end doesn’t like her, the first boy she sees in Paris, she falls in love with her, everyone hates her in the beginning but then magically everyone likes her except her boss of course.
Emily and Mindy
Emily has a magic where she can clear all the problems. She is very passionate about her job and she is a very humble and down to earth person. She started from just 20 followers to 25k+ followers and her instagram influence helped her grab many clients and win a heart or two. And unintentionally became an influencer.
This show will fill your heart as it has a lot of croissants, wines, laughers, friendships, tiny bit of heart breaks and a lot of chic and Paris at heart.

And it revolves around how her life is in prison and how it changes during the course of time. Her course of time is 15 months and there are many new relationships of her with the inmates
Our View –
First of all I would like to clear that this show not basically focuses on the Latinas or specifically the Hispanics but they have a majority of the cast which is Latina and for that reason I have selected this series to be considered for the Hispanic Heritage Month series.
It is based on a real life of Piper Kerman, and the show is based on her bestselling memoir. The show is really good and it shows how the inmates live in the prison with some real life troubles and some moments which are fiction but it gives a pretty good view of it.
When i first started watching Orange is the New Black I found it very entertaining as all the characters are given a very different back story. This show has brilliant writers and also should be recommended to a person who enjoys an open minded show.
This show will make you laugh, it will make you cry and sometimes you might even find it boring but its definitely worth your time. This show even touches numerous topics like #MeToo, ICE and immigration and many more.
This show is also very popular as it features a transgender person, Laverne Cox known as Sophia Bursett on the show. Her acting skills and her performance is absolutely to the mark.
This show is no doubt long but it is also worth watching all the way to the end.
On the occasion of their 30th anniversary, Kamal and Neelam invite their family and friends on a cruise. However, on the journey, they learn many life lessons and change for the better. The story is narrated by a dog and its voice is given by Aamir Khan. While hosting a shipboard holiday for relatives and friends, a wealthy but dysfunctional family must face the ugly truths under their flawless facade.
Our Views –
Initially the movie was not very appealing to me but wanted to watch it anyway, so one fine afternoon i sat down determined to watch the whole movie and guess what i really loved it and now it has become my constant mood uplifter.
I feel it is a must watch for everybody. It is one of the old comforting films which you watch on a chilly winter afternoon in a blanket. The drama takes place keeping the “rich” people in mind but the situation feels familiar and genuine. For the people who loved “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” will definitely love this one by Zoya Akhtar as well.The story revolves around Priyanka having a troubled marriage but a successful career and a spark starts once again as her ex Farhan on the cruise, the spark which was once set off by Anil. Ranvir has a business on his hands but he wanted to start an aviation company and falls in love with a dancer he met on the cruise. And Anil’s and Shefali’s marriage is on the verge of taking a toll but it takes a better turn in the end. It comes with a full package for upper class people and their common problems like couple misfits, return of ex’s, spoiled brat, love and trust issues between friends and loved ones, family plans, craving for credit, strict parents etc. No matter how many times you watch it, you never get bored of it.
Cast – Rebel Wilson, Liam Hemsworth, Adam DeVine, Priyanka Chopra

Storyline –
Natalie is a New York architect who works hard to get noticed at her job, but is more likely to deliver coffee and bagels than design the city’s next skyscraper. Things go from bad to weird when she gets knocked unconscious during a subway mugging and magically wakes up to find herself in an alternate universe. Always cynical about love, Natalie’s worst nightmare soon comes true when she suddenly discovers that she’s playing the leading lady in a real-life romantic comedy.
Our Views –
The movie is very cliche though it has its own amount of laughs. It is hard to know whether the movie is trying to sell the idea of self love or soul mates. The movie mocks typical romcoms but it ends being the same one miserably. The different side of Liam is very stupid on screen and not pleasing to look. Though the rom-com parody is good but through half way we end up looking at the run time and wishing it ends soon.
Cast – Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Michelle Yeoh, Awkwafina, Gemma Chan, Jimmy O. Yang, Sonoya Mizuno, Chris Pang, Lisa Lu
Directed By – Jon M. Chu
Produced By – John Penotti, Nina Jacobson, Bradford Simpson
Storyline
Rachel Chu is happy to accompany her longtime boyfriend, Nick, to his best friend’s wedding in Singapore. She’s also surprised to learn that Nick’s family is extremely wealthy and he’s considered one of the country’s most eligible bachelors. Thrust into the spotlight, Rachel must now contend with jealous socialites, quirky relatives and something far, far worse — Nick’s disapproving mother.
The movie also throws some humour with family scenes of Awkwafina and Jimmy O. Yang, and these scenes are very smart and breezy. It focuses on the equal footing of a couple in a marriage and far more concerned with mutual happiness with all the wealth in between them.When you are feeling low and unlucky with zero feelings about falling in love again, this movie will just get back on track.
“I am not leaving because…. I think I’m not enough – maybe for the first time in my life I Know I Am”
-Rachel Chu
Our Views
In this movie, it focuses on the importance of family. It is a romantic film rich in emotion and very Asian at its core. It shows a wealthy Chinese-American dynasty which enjoys a lavish lifestyle and on hand and on the other hand it shows a single mother and her daughter. The movie is shot in Singapore and with various scenes with beautiful locations.
