Reeta Sanyal Web Series Review: Save Your Time
Earlier serials used to come on TV and people used to pass their time by watching those long serials, movies were there but the aura of serials was different, after when OTTs came, then a new trend started and that trend was of web series but now OTTs are also adopting the formula of serials and bringing web serial, meaning the flavour of TV serial with web series and under this another web serial has come on Hotstar called Reeta Sanyal so what kind of show is this, let's find out. Well, in the show Reeta Sanyal you get to see the story of a lawyer Reeta Saniyal who is talented but is not getting any case according to her talent, now a case comes into her hands and what happens during that case is the story of the show. Now, friends, I am sure that the premise you have just heard, you must have consumed how much content on this, see, many movies have been released on this premise, web series have also been released, and even serials have also been released, so this thing is completely tried and trusted, in which there is nothing new and the first episode of this series which we have seen now, even that does not seem to offer anything new. Yes, currently only episode number 1 of this series has come and you will get to watch one episode every day from Monday to Friday, so first of all there is nothing new, apart from that there is one episode every day. So overall I don't think that this is going to be my cup of tea. This show might be very good and great but seeing the things that are coming out right now, I am not expecting much from this show. After all, how long will these people keep showing the same type of things to the people? Yes, if there is something new then one should feel like watching it. We get to see Ada Sharma here and to be very honest, she has not been able to come out of her old characters, meaning she has not done anything new in her character till now. The production value is like that of a TV show, even the treatment is like that of a TV serial. So there is nothing new in this 26-minute-long episode but yes it feels cringeworthy, it feels like things are forceful, it is not that kind of thing, it is just a good thing, it is a time pass thing, if you are getting bored then you can watch this show Now if I talk about parental guidance, then this show does not carry abuse or vulgarity, let's see how the show is going to progress in future So this was my review of Disney Plus Hotstar's new web show Reeta Sanyal Also, read this: If you like detailed analysis and explanations, read my Gutar Gu Season 2 Ending Explained. In this, I have answered all the questions, which you did not get answers to in the show and also told you whether you should watch this show or not. Are you interested in technology-based content? Then you must watch my CTRL movie ending explanation. In this, I have shown how the latest technology puts people's lives in danger and how the end of the film remains mysterious to the audience. If you like romance and drama, read my content about Highway Love Season 2. Although there is nothing new in it, I have tried to explain how the makers made Season 2 to take the story forward. Catch you later.

Gutar Gu Season 2 Ending Explained
The way season 1 of the teen romantic drama series Gutar Gue ended, many people did not like its ending. Everyone wanted the story to continue. After the merger of MX Player and Amazon, there was a slight delay in the release of season 2, but finally, the makers released season 2 on MX Player on 11 October. Season 2 has a total of six episodes and you will get to stream all the episodes free of cost on MX Player. Season 2 begins exactly from where season 1 ended. In this new season, we once again get to see the innocent love story of Anuj and Ritu. As the episodes progress, we come to know that Anuj wants to become an actor and not an engineer and because of his strict parents, he is never able to share this with them. On the other hand, Ritu gets a photography offer from a big company in Singapore but because she thinks that Anuj will convince his parents, she rejects the Singapore offer and accepts an offer to work in a small company in Mumbai. Such small things keep happening in the series and slowly we reach episode 6 and we finally see that Anuj is never able to discuss his acting career with his parents during the entire show due to fear of them. Also, small fights keep happening between Ritu and Anuj and finally Anuj leaves to take his engineering exam at his examination centre.

How AI Helped my Writing
The Twisted Mr. Bendy is a screenplay I am writing. I came up with the idea back in 2016. Stephen King talked about picturing putting bread crumbs in a strainer. The rest will seep out but the big substantial stuff stays, much like an idea. The good stuff stays. Well, I wrote forty pages back then and it was overly complicated and the rest of my screenwriting class could not make heads or tails of it. Fine. I honed my craft and restarted it a few days ago I am up to page 13 with none of the old stuff saved. All that remains are three character names and she sees a hypnotist clown. Everything else is new.

The Apprentice
I've watched the movie Donald Trump wouldn't care if I watched or not. As I am what he would label as "lib'ral," he'd never care about my opinion. However, I've watched the movie he wouldn't want his fan base to watch and for that reason he, the self-proclaimed defender of free speech, issued a cease-and-desist order against the movie producers and distributors and did everything possible in his power to make sure it was not released in the United States. His lawyers even wrote in the C&D letter that showing it now would constitute election interference.
