Indian Black Mirror, A must watch!

Short stories written by the late maestro Satyajit Ray, envisioned by brilliant directors and a stellar cast! Satyajit Ray was a gem. I have always wanted to see more of his work but couldn't find much of his curations. H. P. Lovecraft and Satyajit Ray, they were ahead of their time and I would love to see screen adaptations based on their work.

I absolutely loved this Netflix series. It has an Indian Black Mirror vibe to it. The performances were brilliant and stories were mind blowing. We need more such stories. India has a lot of content to offer, take in account our vast history/myths/folklore etc The soundtrack and colors used are placid and appealing. I have noticed that good movies generally have the same color palette :) I could compare the color palette to Tumbbad or Dev D.

I haven't watch many Bollywood movies as they are kind of redundant and only a handful are top notch yet undervalued. Would appreciate if more of these type of movies come in play rather than the unauthentic and infamous masalas. Brilliant series, a must watch!
