Web Series Review: Missing you streaming on Netflix !!
Missing You is a Netflix mini series based on a novel by writer Harlan Coben.
The plot centers around detective Kat Donovan who discovers startling truths about the two important men in her life , her fiancee Josh who disappeared on her 11 yrs ago just before their wedding & her father, a decorated police officer, who was killed in a shootout around the same time.
She discovers her fiancee on a dating app and tries to locate him. She also discovers that her father's killer who is now on his deathbed isn't the actual killer. Then there is a case of a woman who is reported missing by her son.
These three plots move ahead in parallel with a lot of twists and turns before culminating in a decently showcased climax where mystery is unravelled .
With excellent casting and fast paced narrative , Missing You succeeds in creating an engaging experience. While it may not be a perfect thriller, it's definitely worth a watch. You can bingewatch this 5 episode series in a day.
Going with 3/5 for this one .. adios 🙂!!

Marathi film Review: Jilabi screening in cinemas halls near you!!
A rare diversion from the usual rona dhona & preachy Marathi films seen nowdays , Jilabi is a slickly directed mystery crime thriller drama starring Swapnil Joshi, Prasad Oak and Shivani Surve.
A corrupt police officer ACP Vijay Karmarkar (Swapnil Joshi) is given the charge of investigating the murder of Ashutosh (Abhijit Dulgach), the son-in-law of a rich business family - the Subhedar's. As Vijay interrogates Saurav Subhedar (Prasad Oak), his wife, Janhavi (Shivani Surve), his twin brother, Gaurav Subhedar (Prasad Oak again), and their manager , Patil (Ganesh Yadav) the case becomes as convoluted as the proverbial Jilabi and hence the name .
As the body count starts rising , it is up to Vijay to keep his wits intact , get over a personal tragedy and bring the perps to justice!!
Right from the first frame, the film is incredibly fast-paced and gripping, making it hard to look away even for a moment. The storytelling is tight and efficient, with no room for unnecessary distractions. Every scene feels purposeful and adds value to the narrative, a rare feat in Marathi cinema these days.
Swapnil Joshi as a badass cop looks awesome, a refreshing change from the characters that he normally essays. Prasad Oak & Shivani Surve too have played their parts well.
On the flip side there are some bad actors too who pull the film down a bit. However leaving those small flaws aside, the film is definitely worth a dekho.
Going with 3 stars out of 5 for this one .. and adding an additional 0.5 star to the makers for attempting to do something different!!

Movie Review: Nosferatu screening in cinema halls near you!!
Similar to Dracula , this one is set in Germany in the 1800s where newly weds, Thomas and Ellen are living a happy life , when Thomas is sent by his employer to count Orlock who stays in a remote castle somewhere in Bohemia to seal a deal for the sale of a property.
The castle is desolate and the count is the only one staying there . As time passes Thomas realises that the count has no desire to let him go and he is trapped inside the castle.
The count has designs on Thomas's wife who herself has a secret of her own. Her visions , ability to see the future and a connection to Count Orlock. What is this terrible secret she harbours inside her ? Will Thomas get out alive ? Will Count Orlock succeed in his nefarious designs .. this is what forms the main premise of the plot!!
Let me tell u at the very onset ... This film is not for everyone. It has strong gothic undertones and delivers a heady dose of horror that will definitely give u goosebumps. Eerie ambience, great cinematography and stellar performances will definitely create in you a feeling of unease that will remain with you for a while. This is a carefully curated slow burn that is far from your conventional vampire horror film.
Bill Skarsgård's performance as Count Orlock is the high point of this film, totally unrecognisable. Others in the cast- Nicholas Hoult, Lilly Rose Depp and William Defoe too have given brilliant performances.
I enjoyed it immensely and wud recommend it to those who enjoy horror films with a vintage tinge to it .
Going with 3.5/5 for this one ...adios 🙂!!
