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.

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

In recent years, films have depicted the LGBTQ+ community in a range of stories. This has played a great role in inclusivity and on-screen representation of the community which was largely marginalised if not invisible in pop culture only a few decades ago. These engaging stories, through their authentic depiction, have also busted myths and stereotypes associated with those from the community. Most notably, revered Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me by Your Name starring Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer is considered a groundbreaking film about homosexuality and first love. More recently, the episode titled Long, Long Time from HBO’s The Last of Us offers a refreshing and unique take on gay romance, set against the backdrop of a zombie apocalypse. Today’s List hai toh hit hai is a list of some of the best films featuring LGBTQ love stories. Read more
