October 13, 2023 07:00 - 25 minutes - 17.7 MB

This week, we cover two movies and two shows.  #Fukrey3 was a damp squib. yes. Even Choocha can fall flat. Argh. What a disappointment.  #hotstar's #tumsenahopayega sold old startup models in 2023. Crossing the chasm but a couple of decades late. #VishalBhardwaj's #charliechopra, an Agatha Christie adaptation, was an intriguing watch. We highly recommend this show on #sonyLIV.  #netflix's #choona is proof that #JimmyShergill is a class actor. More of him, please. As for #choona - damn so con...

Woah! What a week it was. Firstly, we are both traveling, and in between all the time zones, we managed to watch, review, and bring this to you Friday Night Plan on @netflix was sooooooo coool. I loved the simple movie with no specific agenda, and Babil Khan shines through and through. Freelancer on @hulu / Hotstar was intense - with only four episodes released so far- we are looking forward to continuing the story of how a girl called Aliya gets kidnapped to be trained by ISIS in Syria by ...

Season Four: Review of Dream Girl 2

September 08, 2023 07:00 - 17 minutes - 12.1 MB

Ayushmann Khurrana is back with Dream Girl 2 and boy is he the Pooja of our lives. While the movie carries on with the jokes from its last rendition, Ayushmann is a treat to watch.  What Ananya is doing in the movie is not known as we could not figure out what was more wooden- the table or her expression. Ouch. No seriously. Dream Girl 2 is in theaters. Love Team Desis Desislive podcast delivers the latest movie and show reviews to your devices. Wherever in the world you are, tune in to des...

August 25, 2023 07:00 - 1 hour - 44 MB

A long pod this week and we got to cover Three movies and two series that hit the waves. Gadar 2 was not required but it seems people wanted to see SunnyDeol so bad that the movie made over 20crs in the first few days of its release. OMG2 is a beauty. Watch it.

Alia Bhatt's Hollywood debut on Netflix is called Heart of Stone and has her in all of ten minutes while trying to establish Gal Gadot as the female answer to Tom Cruise...

August 18, 2023 07:00 - 34 minutes - 23.5 MB

We are back with a long list of reviews this week. Starting with Jackie Chan, John Cena's #HiddenStrike on Netflix- anything with Jackie Chan in it - is never a waste. Rushi Kota brings an Indian flavor to Hallmark as his kurta replaces the quintessential flannel in #MakeMeAMatch. Hotstar's #Dayaa is interesting in its intersection of crime, politics, and media. The story to remember this week however is the docuseries #thehuntforveerappan on #netflix. Listen to us here. More next week Love ...

Season Four: Review of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani

August 11, 2023 07:00 - 16 minutes - 11.4 MB

One movie was released this week.  You heard that right. It seems everyone else moved their releases because the uninitiated King of Hindi Filmmaking KJo wanted to release his magnum opus after 25 long years. And guess what - he seems to have lost the plot. By a huge margin. Listen to us break that down. You can download our pod everywhere you get your pod. More next week. Love Team Desis.

Season 4: Review of Barbie, Oppenheimer, The Trial and Bawaal

August 04, 2023 07:00 - 47 minutes - 32.6 MB

The famous Barbhiemer weekend and we got all the moves for you. For once, #Barbie and #Oppenheimer show us why going to the movies is such a treat. The reason we go to movies is to watch magnificent stories being told. Hotstar Special, The Trial, an adaptation of Alicia Florrick's The Good Wife was not quite where it needed to hit. Streams on Hulu When it comes to Bawaal, the less we say the better about this Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor the better. Skip it. That's it for the week.  We wi...

Season 4: Review of The Outlaws, Tarla and Adhura

July 21, 2023 07:00 - 25 minutes - 17.5 MB

July 01, 2023 07:00 - 31 minutes - 22 MB

We started the week with Social Currency on Netflix where we struggled to keep our sanity, Kafas on SonyLiv was hard to watch yet gripping. Kangana Ranaut's Tiku Weds Sheru on Netflix was weirdly unsatisfying and World's Best on Disney was a joy to watch. This was our week. How was yours? Love Team Desis.

May 26, 2023 07:00 - 23 minutes - 15.9 MB

Hola Peeps, This week was busy with two series that we reviewed. Starting with Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti's Dahaad, we were enthralled by the storytelling and actors ( Sonakshi Sinha, Vijay Verma) that portrayed these complex characters and issues on screen.

April 07, 2023 16:00 - 43 minutes - 30.2 MB

Hellow Hellow We have an explosive episode this week. And it seems to be a Kunal Kemmu week with one movie and a show releasing the same day! Both prove what an understated actor he is and how much more he deserves than what he gets. In Kanjoos Makhichoos he is a kanjoos guy who cuts corners and in Pop Kaun a guy trying to figure who his real father is. Excels at both. Yami Gautam and Sunny Kaushal's Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga is a heist on a plane and Anubhav Sinha's Bheed deserves all the accolad...

March 03, 2023 01:00 - 33 minutes - 22.9 MB

Akshay Kumar is back with another bad movie. Yaas besties, it is a real bad copy of the Prithviraj Sukumaran's OG. Why Selfiee was made ? No clue. We also reviewed Sonyliv's Potluck and it was a really uncomplicated, simple story. We recommend for light watch binge. Academy nominated The Elephant whisperer was a watch for sure.
