From Words To Views | The Life List

Let’s call a bucket list by any other name like The Life List, for example. But unlike a bucket list, this one is not prepared by an adult reminiscing wistfully about lost aspirations and unfulfilled wishes while standing at precipice of their sunset years. Nope. This life list has been prepared by our protagonist- Alex […]

From Words to Views | Jaane Jaan

Based on the worldwide best-selling novel The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino, Jaane Jaan delivers a stellar film adaptation that is true to the original storyline. Although it has been adapted for Indian audiences and the key elements have been transitioned for the local audiences, the final product manages to present a movie […]

From Words To Views | Black Warrant

There are many web series featuring criminals, charting their criminal journey and even glamorizing lives of a few infamous serial killers. There are also few serials showing life behind the bars by giving a peek inside the prison life. However, most of these series primarily focus on the criminals and their backstories that lead them […]

From Words To Views | The Trunk

First impressions can be so deceiving, trailers can be a bit misleading, and even the series titles can be so confusing for the viewers. Like me, if you have watched the trailer but not read the original book, you might think this looks like an interesting murder mystery. Indeed, it’s a murder mystery, albeit not […]

From Words To Views | The Perfect Couple

Based on the eponymous book by Elin Hilderbrand, it’s the story of an influential American family dealing with a tragedy during a wedding weekend. Although this unfortunate incident occurs during the busy 4th of July weekend, the backstory stretches back a couple of years, providing an intricate background to what happened. This is the story of the wealthy, old money […]

From Words To Views| Baby Reindeer

Technically speaking, Baby Reindeer is not based on a book; instead, it was written as a one-person show by its creator, Richard Gadd, as an autobiographical account. Now, Netflix has successfully adapted it as a limited series based on true events for the silver screen. Still, considering it was a written record of what happened […]

From Words To Views| Bridgerton (Season 3)

As someone who grew up watching saccharine, sweet romantic stories dished out by Bollywood year after year, and especially someone who grew up with the romantic comedies of the 1990s and early 2000s, the central plotline with many twists ‘and turns surrounding it in the Bridgerton world should not come as a surprise. But then […]

From Words To Views| All Quite On The Western Front

The first scene itself sets a definite tone of the movie. There is death and destruction everywhere. Trenches are full of dismembered bodies floating in the murky waters and gloom is shrouding faster than the ever present mist mixed with the gunpowder smoke. But what gave my heart a cold numbing shock was the ‘recycling’ […]

My Year of Rest And Relaxation | Ottessa Moshfegh

Let’s call this as a sleeping beauty story with modern plot twists set against an American backdrop. But unlike the original fairy tale where the darling princess is sleeping because of an uninvited curse, this beautiful girl is inviting sleep on account of a self inflicted curse. Wait, what???!!!! Does this make sense at all?? […]
