Kohrra season 2 excels like few second seasons have before, save for Delhi Crime and Paatal Lok. In six episodes, it manages to set the ambience, suck us in, and engage us with the twists and the turns.

The film’s biggest drawback is how it props up Himmler to be this unbeatable force who can take over countries, but is, of course, weak before Vetri.

And the sutradhar of all this is Roshan Mathew. The actor breathes new life into this thriller genre, which is almost at risk of oversaturation on OTT. His performance, already one of the best this year, makes you feel everything for Ashu - from sympathy to disgust to rage. And therein lies the beauty of what Roshan has achieved here. The actor, a famous babyface, has hardly ever handled something this dark and devious. But he coasts through not just the role but the setup, quite flawlessly. Kankhajura is a good show based on the story and the technical aspects alone. Roshan makes it great.

The Mehta Boys is testament to how a good story is often enough to make a watchable film. Add great performances and other technical nuances and you have a splendid watch on your hands. This one is for all those who lament that 'Bollywood' has moved away from making films that are real and relatable. The Mehta Boys is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

GodFather follows in the footsteps of massy hits like Pushpa: The Rise and KGF: Chapter 2 from earlier this year. In some parts, it lacks the heart and finesse of a Pushpa and the grandeur of KGF. Yet, it balances the two quite well. The script falters, partly because there is a lack of one for large portions of the film. In trying to be clever, it wanders into the unintentionally funny territory at times. It is not a cerebral political thriller in the genre of a Rajneeti or Leader. It is an action film disguised as one, but disguised quite well. The film is high on drama, lacks subtlety, and uses every cliché out there.
