The Railway Men: The Untold Story of Bhopal 1984 (2023)
Great series with some questionable scientific facts
The series is scary but incredible. I was a small kid when it happened, just within a few weeks of another national tragedy. My regional newspaper covered it well in print but we never had a national movement to commemorate the loss of these hapless citizens. The Railway Men filled that void, to some extent.
The acting, storytelling, photography- were spot on. Dramatization of the events was gripping in every episodes. That being said, the chemistry behind the disaster is not well researched. There was mention of smell of nutty smell as well as smell of rotten cabbage. The nutty smell comes from hydrogen cyanide, which was mentioned in the series, but in reality, this is not a contributing factor to the toxicity of MIC. Also, the story of antidote is not researched well. MIC does not have any antidote.
Suspicion (2022)
Lame; a complete waste of thrill
This is on eof the worst thriller series I have ever watched. It started out great, lots of unexplained plot twists along the way. But the story was full of massive holes all along.
The Undoing (2020)
I got HBO for this?
The reviews were great and I am sucker for suspense. So I bite the bullet and subscribe to HBO. From Episode 1, there was tons and tons of sloppy directional mistakes but I was still hoping for a gripping finish. Boy, was I wrong. The only good thing about this entire series screen play of Kidman's boy. I think everyone who gave more than 5* ratings should watch some real suspense/crime thriller series (Broadchurch comes in mind). This show is a disgrace with clichéd materials.
Taal (1999)
Musical marvel. Boring movie.
It's an okay Bollywood flick. Cliché story line. What sets it apart from other is the music. After almost 18 years it still one of the master class of a musical that Bollywood ever produced. A R Rahman was at his best. The lyric and sound engineering was almost unparalleled to other Hindi movies.
Raees (2017)
A pure waste of your time
This movie is awful. In a nutshell. From get go, the story rambles around laughable black market of local liquor. And it never stops. Hysterical fake action by Mr. Khan did not help. The item number still shows the over immaturity of Hindi movies in a whole. Its a movie that really misused the talent of Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
