#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews #InternationalFilmFestivalCircuit Title: #BandishBanditsS2 Rating: * * S2 music never reaches the high notes, drama is feeble and the jugalbandis don’t have the power to draw you in. This new season has little to offer. Even the face-offs have little purchase Cast: #SheebaChaddha #NaseeruddinShah #RajeshTailang #DivyaDutta #AtulKulkarni #KunaalRoyKapur #YashashwiniDayama #ShreyaChaudhry #RitwikBhowmik #RohanGurbaxani #SaurabhNayyar #PareshPahuja Director: #AnandTiwari Runtime: 8 eps/50-60min #AmazonPrime #PrimeVideo #LeoMediaCollective #MoesArt #everyone #everyonefollowers

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews #InternationalFilmFestivalCircuit Film: #Despatch Rating: * * The weirdest depiction of an investigative crime reporter we have seen yet & it has #ManojBajpayee’s most inept performance yet. We never get to understand what he is investigating and the form it takes is so sloppy and inept that you wonder whether he is experienced enough? And then there’s the over-the-top sex scenes…#KanuBahl deals in extremes which make no sense.This film lacks coherence & is a dead bore.

TAYLOR SWIFT’S WINTER WARDROBE, A MASTERCLASS IN COLD-WEATHER GLAMOUR LIVIA GUEISSAZ DECODES THE STAR’S PERFECTLY POLISHED LOOKS AND MUST-HAVE ACCESSORIES As the seasons shift, so does Taylor Swift’s wardrobe. This winter, the global superstar embraces accessories as her standout style element. Fashion analyst and influencer Livia Gueissaz has explored Swift’s recent looks, revealing why her winter ensembles are the ultimate guide for elevating cold-weather fashion.

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit Title: #ThukraKeMeraPyaar Rating: * * It appears to me that the series maker wants to re-navigate the Bollywoodian stereotype of forbidden inter-caste relationship. There’s nothing new here & the presentation of this episodic decent into mayhem leaves a lot to be desired.Its also predictable & even ridiculous at times.

Dhai Aakhar #PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas

#PicksAndPiques #JohnsonThomas #FilmMovieDocumentaryOTTReviews #internationalfilmfestivalcircuit Film:#DhaiAakhar Rating: * * 1/2 The story of an oppressed wife, now a widow, finding companionship & love with a writer - prompting her family to go up in arms against her daring, had great potential. Stray poignant&emotive moments don’t do it justice. The screenplay & treatment fail the story so what we get is a timid, slo-mo attempt at mature love story. Performances by #MrinalKulkarni & #PrasannaBisht make it worthwhile though.
