I watched Dept. Q on Netflix this week.It is a British thriller about disappearance of a prosecutor.What sets apart a British series from the ones made in US is the picturesque,serene locations in which the they are shot and this series is no different.Unlike the regular mystery,thriller where the cops are shown like superhumans this series shows their human weaknesses.The only issue i felt with this series was it was way too long and even each episode was nearly an hour long.But if you have patience then this series is definitely worth it.

Mobland for all its promise has such a damp last episode and ending.

Yeah. Finale was underwhelming. And all those taboo plot points made me want to throw up.

I watched "Bhool Chuk Maaf" on Prime Video.There were allegations that the box office numbers of this movie were inorganically grown to make it a hit.I mean why would i go to watch this movie in theatres when i know that the movie will be on OTT in few weeks time and yet it has clocked around 60 crs from the box office.Coming to the movie,the actors like Rajkumar and Ayushman Khurana needs to reinvent themselves.They keep on doing the same type of movies time and again based on the same formula.It is not a surprise that there movies is not getting same attention which it was before.Bhool Chuk Maaf is very lame movie in my opinion,acting from Rajkumar is repetitive and borrowed from Stree or most of his other movies.
It is good to see that Rajkumar is breaking out of his regular genre with Malik.This middle class avatar is not going to work forever for him.

the actors like Rajkumar and Ayushman Khurana needs to reinvent themselves.

They are already actively trying out different roles. But those movies do worse than these. People want to see them doing only these types of roles. Ayushman Khurana's An Action Hero, despite being a good movie, didn't work out. Meanwhile theaters were packed for a movie like Dream Girl 2. Aayushman is now coming with Thama and Rajkumar Rao with Malik. Both are playing different types of role there.

I highly doubt that if they keep on reinventing themselves than people will not like them.Classic example is Akshay kumar who the big production houses in initial decade of his career were not willing to bet on because he didn't suited their family drama or love story type of movies.He did a lot of stupid movies like Haan Maine bhi pyaar kiya hai ,Dhadkan etc where he gave an appearance of a horse which can't run but eventually he struck gold with Hera Pheri and people then realized that we had an amazing comedy actor hiding in plain sight.As for Ayushman i feel his physique is not suitable for an action hero but there are other genres he can explore but again he is not at that stage of his career where he can be choosy.
