Muramba


Muramba is a Marathi movie available on Netflix. It stars Sachin Khedekar, Mithila Palkar, Amey Wagh and Chinmayi Sumit.

Alok and Indu have been dating for years and are on the verge of getting engaged when they break up. Alok's parents are concerned. The movie is about Alok narrating to his parents the differences between him and Indu and why they broke up over a period of one day.

It is funny and sweet and brushes against some serious issues but does not delve deeper into them.
Loved it. I would highly recommend this flick.

Lolita

Lolita, written by Vladimir Nabokov, is an epic. It was published in 1955 and is ahead of it's times, even today. But the way it has been written is brilliant. Very few books can match up. This will probably the best book I read this year. The book is about a 12 year old Dolores who is called Lolita by Humbert. Humbert is a pedophile. Sure, he has a backstory to justify it. He falls in love with Lolita at first sight and marries her mother. When the mother dies (it wasn't murder), Humbert kidnaps Lolita and rapes her. His version is that she seduces him. But according to my definition of sex, it was rape and not consensual. They travel from one place to another for 2 years till Lolita manages to free herself from him.  The entire book is an insight into the mind of a rapist. How does a rapist get his victim to give in to his demands and never tell anyone. How does he control another human being?  Nabokov hardly talks about Lolita. We only hear about her from ...

Amazon Exclusives - Hindi

Amazon has tied up with content creators in India to create many series for Prime video. I watched Laakhon mein ek and Inside Edge. Both don't compare to the international series but are far superior to what we see on Indian television today. Laakhon Mein Ek LMK has been created by Biswa Kalyan Rath who is one of the best stand up comedians in the country. You must watch his live shows. The kind of energy he has on stage is amazing. He is genuinely funny and his content is very, very different from other comedians. LMK is a 6 episodes series (less than 30 mins long, thankfully) about a 15 year old, Akash, whose parents send him to an IIT entrance coaching institute in Vizag. He got 55% marks in 12th and wants to join Commerce but this is India and everyone must atleast try to be a doctor or an engineer even if it kills them.  The series isn't anything new but it's a story that can't be repeated enough number of times. Worth a watch. I hope season 2 cover...

Glow

I am really sorry for how slow things are on this blog (and the other one too). I am trying to make the time. Hell, am even praying for an additional 2 hours in my day to accommodate all my hobbies and interests. I don't remember where I got the recommendation for Glow (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) but I started watching it few weeks back. It is about a show about a group of actresses in the 80s who featured in a women's wrestling show. It is over the top, campy but so much fun. There is a lot of drama with the lead protagonists not getting along over one's affair with another's husband, a messed up director, racism, a broke producer etc. The good news is that it has only 1 season as of yet so you can finish it in a week. A perfectly entertaining feel good show that requires no brain cells.
