Hello, hello,
Sharing some of our most loved movies and web series of February 2023!
Given we have some long weekends coming up in March, these would be good ones to watch.
Let's get into it!
1. Mr Queen: A K-drama that is absolutely hilarious and adorable but with a hint of palace/ political intrigue! When a 21st century masterchef falls into a swimming pool, he wakes up in the body of a 19th century queen-to-be. Hilarity ensues as he tries to keep the King at an arm's length, try desperate means to get back to his life and fix things in the past all at the same time!
2. Crash Course in Romance: An introverted, workaholic Maths tutor falls for an extroverted, kind restaurant owner. This is, however, not just an opposites attract love story but is also a commentary on the brutal education system in Korea, especially, the cut-throat world of competitive exams, special tuition classes for these exams and the toll it takes on students. There is also a bit of a murder mystery going and, overall, this is an interesting show that has something for everyone!
3. Class: An adaptation/ remake of Netflix's Elite, this show takes a dive into the world of Delhi's super-rich kids, who study in Delhi's top school. There is a murder mystery at the heart of the show, but this is also a show about young people and their lives, issues and the like. A highly watchable show.
4. Truth Be Told (Season 3): Helmed by the Octavia Spencer and Gabrielle Union, the third season of Truth Be Told, take a look at the world of human trafficking, especially, how young girls are groomed into this life. A very gripping and interesting season this is turning out to be! Streaming on Apple TV.
5. After Party: This show has been out for over a year and I got around to watching it only recently! After Party is a crime comedy show, where a spunky detective (played by Tiffany Haddish) tries to solve a murder during a High School Reunion's after party. A fun watch! Streaming on Apple TV.
6. The Romantics: A documentary on Yash Chopra, his films and legacy. Truly nostalgic and fun, featuring several actors and actresses that he had worked with all his life. Get ready to feel all of the feels and give in to the urge to re-watch some old favourites like Deewar, Kabhie Khabhie, Chandni, Lamhe...
7. The Watchful Eye: A building with secrets, a cop who is looking for hidden treasure, a desperate young woman, who needs money.. put all of them together and you have a taut little thriller set in New York. Streaming on Disney+ Hostar, The Watchful Eye is a nice little mystery!
8. Nothing To Hide: A French movie about a group of friends, who meet for dinner and decide to answer all calls on 'speaker' and read out all texts that arrive in that duration, given they, supposedly, have nothing to hide. Chaos ensues and events happen that will make you question if you really, truly know what is going on with those closest to you!
9. Pamela, a love story: Pamela Anderson has been known, for most of her life, for being sexy and a sex symbol. Very few of us know the full story of how her private tapes with her then husband, Tommy Lee, were stolen and sold worldwide- a move that led to a divorce, lost career opportunities and general trauma. Do watch this heartwarming documentary about this icon and her opportunity to, finally, reclaim her own story. Streaming on Netflix.
10. Lost: A young street theatre activist is missing and no one cares. A young journalist is looking for him but is being stalled and threatened at every turn. A commentary on our present political climate and how the media and any voices of dissent are being stifled. Streaming on Zee5.
Have a great week ahead, folks!
