A list of watchable Hindi legal shows and films on OTT, in order of release.
Cherry blossoms in Sri Lanka, Hanuman speaking Bombaiya, the mythical Sone Ki Lanka looking darkly Gothic, Raavan looking like a Bollywood dude... this is not modernisation. This is a travesty, asserts Deepa Gahlot.
Jee Karda is a dish with a lot of garnish, but no flavour, observes Deepa Gahlot.
Deepa Gahlot lists 10 popular Mani Ratnam films that you can watch on streaming platforms.
With its slick cinematography and breathless pace, Bloody Daddy is not really made for OTT, but that's where it ends up, notes Deepa Gahlot.
There is nothing of the level of Yes Minister, House Of Cards, Madam Secretary or Veep but there are at least 10 Hindi series and an OTT-released film or two, to whet the viewer's appetite for power-mongering, corruption and intrigue.
Even those with no knowledge of the inner workings of the media and police, would find Scoop absorbing as a human drama and the story of the resilience of a woman, her family and true friends, applauds Deepa Gahlot.
What goes in favour of Asur 2 is its pace and novelty, even though the approach has all the hokiness of a comic book, observes Deepa Gahlot.
Deepa Gahlot picks a list of 10 essential RGV movies though there are 84 to wade through.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui is not romcom material, notes Deepa Gahlot.
Yeh Meri Family is rescued by the actors. All of them have delivered on the warmth and crankiness of a close-knit family without putting on any hum saath saath hain fakery, observes Deepa Gahlot.
Sirf Ek Bandaa Kaafi Hai makes the audience feel good that the battle for justice was not in vain, observes Deepa Gahlot.
From an observation of middle class insecurities and parents burdening their children with their dreams, the film becomes an underdog story, notes Deepa Gahlot.
Music School tries hard to make a case -- like 3 Idiots and Taare Zameen Par before -- to let children follow their artistic passions and not try to fit them into pre-set moulds, to which people might nod their heads in agreement before packing their children off to coaching class, notes Deepa Gahlot.
Deepa Gahlot lists the most popular Yash Chopra films -- the ones he directed, not produced (yes, so that means no DDLJ) -- that can be watched on OTT.
Any aware viewer, who might wander into the film, will be repulsed by this unabashed spewing of communal hatred, feels Deepa Gahlot.
The Song Of Scorpions is a reminder, if one were needed, that Irrfan was not just a star actor but a true artiste, observes Deepa Gahlot.
A movie like Bad Boy being made in 2023 would have been just as unwatchable no matter who made it. That Rajkumar Santoshi has, is almost heart-breaking, sighs Deepa Gahlot.
Alaya F actually holds the film together, pulling out the right emotions required, and not letting the slightest scepticism leak out of those large, expressive eyes, observes Deepa Gahlot.
