Limitless (2015)
Fantastic TV show .
What the hell have I been watching? It's fantastic. You can't take your eyes off of this show for the entire duration. Since the majority of the show is filmed in sets and in New York, you can tell right away that the 22-episode run is on a tight budget. At first, I thought the show would be tedious. Additionally, there are a few scenes in a few episodes that seem a little tacked on. Overall though, each scene depicting a person(protagonist) who accomplishes complex tasks is written and clearly described so that everyone can comprehend it. Every character also has a part to play in the plot and the performance. Moreover, the poignant moments were quite effective for the most part of this season . Finally I would like to add that Senator Morra is the main character of this show and after finishing the season you will feel the same .

Super comedy
So beautiful , so elegant jus-looking like a wow
krav maga , eeda , aada , jaapaneese dialogues , Villain , concept , story telling are mind blowing . Extra points for Main hero and heroine . Negatives are Screenplay , few graphics and lack of imagination in few frames . Spoofs were carried out perfectly and Dialogue delivery was apt and impactful according to the proceedings of the film. Seriousness is nowhere and this film only entertains the audience without trying to cater logic to the people watching it .Heroine has nothing to do but she pulls it off very well with her charms. Last scene was super-absurd and fantastic . This film deserves more audience and appreciation.
Bramayugam (2024)
Best of the Best
The film is set in 17th century and the central characters are a mana (mansion) owner Kodumon Potty (Mammootty), his servant (Siddharth Bharathan) and Thevan, a slave who escapes his fate. I also see the mana in South Malabar is also a important character, considering the film is set within the walls of this enclosed space. What happens when a mansion that hasn't welcomed any guests for years has one walk through the door of their own volition? Thevan escapes one kind of enslavement, only to get stuck in other. This is exactly what surprised me about the film. The political layers in it. You see, caste discrimination is a horror, and a reality even today. However, to explore it with the aid of folklore is refreshing. The film centers on the oppression faced by the Panan community, who are forced to entertain the individuals of the dominant caste in the region through their songs. Their art, something that is so close to their heart is the very thing that is used to hurt them and yet, Thevan seems to find solace in it. At least until the near end when his fate becomes unfathomable. What really drives the film home is the performance by the lead actors. Mammootty is going all out with his out of box choices because this is probably the most sinister, and ferrying character that I have seen him portray. As Kodumon Potty he is not just scary. His character isn't a single tone. Instead, he begins of as authoritative, moves towards manipulation so seamlessly before he lets out his true nature in a stunning turn of events. There are transformations within the film that needs to be experienced. His servant also has a story of his own and the reveal goes hand in hand with the other two central character's arc making the film a cohesive experience. Everything about this film is experiential. Every aspect of the film works towards making this film more of an experience. Starting from the dark insides of the theaters to the sound and music in the film. It is ethereal how the beautifully all aspects of the film come together to achieve this feat.
One Punch Man: Wanpanman (2015)
Has a monotonous template
I have watched every episode till 2nd season . This is my first anime . It didn't take me a long time to realise that every episode follows a template which makes it dead slow and boring at many times. In this anime, a monster appears and destroys the city ,which is shown for 5 mins, and then hero association analyzes and sends heroes to defend the city against the monster which takes another 5 mins, the monster and other heores try their level best to defeat the monster, which takes another 5 mins of the episode and then Saitama appears and destroys it using his fist in only one punch. Another annoying thing is they never show how he acheived the power he has . Only episode I loved is the last episode of Season1 and in that episode too , all the other heroes are stuck with the sole task of killing one monster while hero Saitama single handedly kills the king of all monsters . Even if few heroes are capable of killing monsters in a single blow , they are not given enough screen time . Makers also want the audience to believe some impossible coincidences like for example the whole character of King. And even if all of that is to be ignored , it is shown that all monsters come form the sea, so I thought in 2nd season they would all go and hunt monsters in the sea , but I'm disappointed to see all the monsters die in a ship due to just one guy Saitama whom we don't even know his power's origins. Season2 is all about the Garo , and I enjoyed every fight of hero-hunting . Except for that every episode follows the same template as in Season1 .
Extra Ordinary Man (2023)
Works in parts ,but provides full entertainment
Guys honestly speaking we have a lot of people watching daily shows and soap operas . They are often inconsistent and often very monotonous .Yet people are so addicted to it seldom get bored of them shows, After watching the trailer of this movie I personally thought this movie would be an addition to those stupid shows . But I'm glad that the movie has completely disappointed me . The comedy in this movie was so Organic that it made me wonder if I was watching "Bheeshma" . Also they included many of the Instagram reels and trends into dialogues which made it more watchable. Though It had(same old TFI overhyped) fights it was fine till the interval block where I suspected that the director lost the grip of the film and second half will be reckless. But again I was disappointed because the comedy in the later half was ample enough to get us of our seats with a smile . Now the heroine has nothing to offer except for few songs which were not even catchy and the antagonist is shown lacking wit. But you will only notice that until you see an unprecedented cameo appearance of a former star. Overall this movie goes well with Race Gurram , Doosukelta,Dhee and Bheeshma, where there is no wit or logic but gives full entertainment.
The Crowded Room (2023)
Holland and Amanda take us on an emotional rollercoaster
I personally watched this series with a friend who never completed any movie/series without taking a break or scrolling reels , and He was so hooked that we binged it in one night . All the characters are A-grade actors and without any one of them I think this series would have left us wanting more. I would have recommended this show for anyone if it wasn't for some implicit and explicit Gay (LGBTQ+)nudity . People after watching this show can agree that some part could have been removed .Now If you are Okay with that then go ahead and leave yourself in the world of "The crowded room ". Beware that this show can bring out your trauma (Or can emotionally trigger some people ) so please don't let minors watch it without Adult supervision.
