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. 

What I watched on Netflix

Mostly Sunny This documentary is on Netflix. It is about Sunny Leone and her recent success in India. I liked it. Mainly because of how real and down to earth Sunny is. She knows she is a brand and has no issues promoting herself. The documentary also talks to her extended family and her brother. They don't dig very deep but you realise her life hasn't been easy. Her family had a difficult time dealing with her career as a porn star and they have cut her off.  Sunny has positioned herself as the happily married woman who is monogamous in India and it is working for her. We, Indians, want our porn stars also to be sati savitris.  What the documentary missed was the hard work behind the glamour. I would have loved to see her workout/grooming sessions or the preparation for item songs or behind the scenes on a regular day.  All in all, a good documentary and worth a watch. What the Health I started watching this documentary on Netflix. This is about how m...

Big little lies

I read the book by Liane Moriarty and then watched the series on Shilpi's recommendation. The book is fabulous but the series tops that. Read the book but do not miss the series. It is about 3 friends who are mothers in a small town. Starring Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley and Alexander Skarsgard (so hot) it opens with a murder. We don't know who is murdered and don't find out till the end. Yet, the murder isn't the most gripping incident in the series. The three friends are dealing with major issues in their lives, ranging from date rape to domestic violence. I haven't come across a better portrayal of domestic violence. It is so realistic and made me realize that you never know what's going in the minds and lives of people closest to you. Shailene Woodley is such a fabulous actress and plays the complex role so well. The opening theme is so so so good that it is stuck in my head and I have to play it on loop over and over and over...

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.
