Some of the most popular TV shows have offered incredible moments and iconic characters over the years. And more often than not, these characters become pivotal to the show’s success. From Topher Grace’s Eric Forman from That ‘70s Show or Steven Carell’s Michael Scott from The Office, these iconic characters have drummed up a fan following of their own. So it’s hardly surprising that their character’s untimely exit from the show or being replaced by another actor could have devastating ramifications. So for today’s List hai toh hit hai, we take a look at iconic shows that went downhill after pivotal characters departed. Read more

From Kumbalangi Nights to Kapoor and Sons, here’s our pick for the best movies featuring dysfunctional families Families in films are often exaggerated for effect. Packing eccentricities that hardly seem plausible, they’re depicted through a lens that seems entirely divorced from reality. And this couldn’t be more true than in the case of movies featuring dysfunctional families. And if you loved the Manoj Bajpayee-Sharmila Tagore-starrer Gulmohar on Disney+Hotstar, here are similar movies that you need to stream right away Read more

Malayalam films have found maker takers in recent years thanks to the surge in the popularity of streaming platforms. The success of regional remakes of Malayalam films such as Manichitrathazhu, Ramji Rao Speaking, and Drishyam has also been a validation for the industry. The Telugu remake of the 2020 Malayalam film Kappela, titled Butta Bomma releases on Netflix on 4th March and the eponymous Tamil remake of The Great Indian Kitchen also releases on Zee5 on the 3rd March. With no dearth of compelling stories, Malayalam films will continue to raise the bar and the trend of remakes only proves that good stories are independent of language. So for today’s List hai toh hit hai we’ve curated a list of iconic Malayalam films that received pan-India remakes. Read more

If you’re one who loves sitcoms, you’ve surely binged on popular American shows on repeat. There’s a familiar comfort in rewatching a Friends or Seinfeld episode that recent sitcoms can hardly deliver. But there are a lot of underrated comedy shows that slipped through the cracks because they never received a mainstream showcase or perhaps, didn’t boast of a star-studded cast to draw us in. These lesser-appreciated gems, however, are water-tight with hilarious one-liners and ludicrous situations that elevate the grade of comedy on the small screen. Backed by writing that demands your undivided attention (if you don’t want to miss out on a gag or three), these shows promise a rib-tickling ride to remember. Here’s our pick for the most underrated comedy shows on Netflix that you must add to your watchlist now: Read more

Thunivu can be billed as one of the most ambitious heist movies of 2023 as yet. But despite a reasonably average theatrical run and managing to cross swords with Vijay’s Varisu in cinemas, it is, essentially, a very exaggerated if not overrated film. Indian movies about great robberies have ranged from plagiarised versions of Hollywood blockbusters such as Sanjay Gupta’s Kaante to those which elaborately furnish inconceivable thefts that almost seem impossible to pull off such as Dhoom 2. From considering wildly unlikely scenarios and unprecedented turn of events, these films have managed to thrill us beyond measure. And Thunivu surely pales in comparison to some of the more compelling Indian heist movies. In fact, on a scale of ‘avoidable’ to ‘mind-blowing’, Thunivu probably falls under ‘for Ajith fans only’. But worry not, you’re in luck, we’ve put together a list of some of the best Indian heist movies ever made that you need to stream right now. Read more

So here’s our list of TV characters who surely deserve to get a spin-off. Read more
