I completed the Panchayat series yesterday . I am not discussing the story here to spoil the show for those who have not seen the series.

The strength of Panchayat lies in its simplicity and realistic depiction of rural life. The TVF team has, remained faithful to its original tone and vibes yet again, coming up with bigger themes, letting its characters’ develop further, and creating more dramatic moments.

The writer of the “Panchayat series, Chandan Kumar, carries the feel of the minds and lives of people in a remote village. In the new season, the show reveals more about its characters, their desires, and their dreams, without losing its signature style. The show, which boasts an impressive ensemble cast, makes supporting characters like Bhusan more prominent, along with Vinod and Madhav.

This season, there is a subtle transformation of certain characters. Manju Devi was earlier happy to be behind the scenes; letting her husband call the shots now showcases her political instincts. She is also more supportive when her daughter Rinki (Sanvikaa) wants to get MBA and, later, a job. The triumph of the show’s is that it has shown their natural progression without being preachy.

Understated charm and high-drama in mundane village scenarios have been the show’s highlights. Panchayat capitalises on them while casting its net wide this season. But the series stays within the world of familiar peculiarities and challenges.

Panchayat has once again shown why it is regarded as one of the best Indian web series. Every scene, with its poignant story and engrossing characters, captures the essence of rural India. Deepak Kumar Mishra,director offers something novel and innovative, as always. This time around, much like in the first two seasons, you will remember every character. Faisal Malik stands out with his impactful portrayal of his character.

The show has some engaging moments, and the performances of the other supporting cast, including Raghubir Yadav, Chandan Roy, Pankaj Jha ,Bhusan are brilliantly portrayed.

In fact, the characters of the supporting artists are neatly written, and everyone makes their presence felt. The ending is pretty good, with a solid cliffhanger.

watching Haseen Dillruba

 

I just finished watching this thrilling and riveting crime movie with an unbelievable twist at the end.

" Haseen Dillruba’ has its moments of being unbelievable, but it never stops being a delectably dark and defiant love story with a thrilling twist, a tricky marital affair, and as a thrilling crime drama. Its an intelligent, entertaining film that will take you through all emotions.

Kanika Dhillon, the writer, gently nudges audience towards a complete suspension of disbelief as we become willing voyeurs of a racy and thrilling murder mystery

Instead of focusing on the murder, the story plays out like a psychological thriller, exploring how dormant emotions can completely take over one's personality and transform them to the extent that they are hardly recognisable

Both Tapsee Pannu as Rani and Vikrant Massey as Rishu’s personalities undergo a dramatic flip and it is to the credit of both of them that they are so cooly evocative as they effortlessly settle into the changed pace.

Taapsee plays the free-spirited Rani with aplomb, but her flighty and fun character seems like a carry forward of Rumi in Manmarziyan, right down to her obsessiveness.

Vikrant Massey's seemingly simple personality , but riddled with complexes, makes him uncomfortable with women because he is uncomfortable with himself, fixing things for others, but in a mess within, well educated but insular .

It's story has not been revealed because it may be a thrilling experience while watching.

I saw this beautiful movie only after being in a mood to watch it. During LOCKDOWN days, I saw more movies than I could remember. So, I took a break from watching movies for 3 weeks. Below is my observation about the movie Thappad.”

"#Thappad' resonates with impact in a strong way,This movie tells us all about some or most people living in a marriage, where a wife always has to sacrifice her dreams, her desires,her passion, her career, and sometimes her self-respect too. This Anubhav Sinha movie,Thappad," focuses on gender discrimination to complete the picture.  Sinha's biggest credit as far as "Thappad" goes is that he maintains a balance in tone, never getting overly preachy or loud with what his narrative has to convey. This movie delves into husband wife relationship in a subtle way.

        Thappad" is not about domestic violence, unlike what the hype may have indicated. The film merely utilises an impulsive act of slapping to lay out an intricate portrait of marital exploitation that could be happening within the confines of any household, that might maintain a picture of calm on the outside. Contrary to what many felt, this film is not about creating circumstances that might open up room for a battle of the sexes. This film questions the male entitlement to superiority in a relationship.

    The very brief scene, masterfully written and executed, resonates for the sheer sense of disparity it so simply conveys. Thappad" digs deep to establish the fact that gender discrimination is an outcome of the upbringing of not just men, but also women. The screenplay is quietly effective in the way it shows how the thought of saying sorry, even long afterward, never quite crosses the husband's mind. For Amrita, a lack of remorse sparks off the realisation that her marriage was always built on her husband's ego and not love.

      A beautiful movie where one finds stamp, authority, and class of Anubhav Sinha, the director, to the fore.
