Joker: Folie à Deux
Back in 2019, few believed a standalone Joker movie would be successful; thanks to its adult-oriented approach and an excellent performance from Joaquin Phoenix, WB and Todd Phillips struck gold. Five years later and the sequel has taken a staggering downturn.

My Review of "Joker: Folie à Deux"
Joker: Folie à Deux has finally arrived. I've actually been looking forward to this movie for quite some time. Needless to say, it was one of my highly anticipated movies for 2024. Maybe I had high expectations but this one didn't quite hit the mark. That's not to say there weren't some nice elements to this movie.

Manvat Murders Review
Reading reviews is a good thing but not subscribing after reading the review is not a good thing. Good night. Like South movies, the content of Marathi movies is also very solid and different but the number of web series coming from the Marathi industry is very low, that's why I was very excited to watch Manvat Murders. Let's try something different which is released on SonyLiv. I watched it completely, now what is my path, let's find out. Well, Manvat Murders is a show inspired by a real incident. The story is from 1972 and you get to see a village called Manvat in Maharashtra where murders are happening one after the other.

Mind Your Own!
October has arrived... I feel it in the air after a very long and stubborn run of humidity and warmth that made many Canadians feel as if there was some sort of meteorological joke playing out among us. As we say, 'If you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes...'. Something is always coming down the pipe. And change and surprises are very much on my mind as I write this.

Welcome Home Review: Not for the Faint-Hearted
Uff what a movie I watched last night, now was it my mistake or compulsion or did I make this decision intentionally, I don't know, I just remember that when I came to know that it was inspired by real events, I felt like watching it once, I mostly enjoy consuming content which is based on real-life events but after watching this movie, I was thinking for a long time, I mean it was happening to me that what have I watched, uff I will not suggest you at all to watch this movie because it is so disturbing and violating that it will blow your senses, yes I am talking about the Welcome Home movie. This movie is based on true events. This incident happened in Mumbai Nagpur. Though I don't know the real story, I am sharing with you what has been shown in the movie. So two female school teachers are allotted an area for the census, after which they go for census but there is a place in that list where there is only one house and that too in a completely deserted and desolate place. When they go there, they find a girl there whose name is Prerna. Prerna says that in this house she lives with her father, her mother and a servant named Bhola. Though she doesn't call Bhola a servant, she just calls him Bhola. Prerna is behaving very abnormally like smiling without any reason and she is also pregnant. When Anuja and Neha's teachers ask Prerna how many children she has, she tells them that she has become pregnant many times but the children die. Now Anuja and Neha find this thing very strange and they leave from there. Now again Anuja and Neha go there to ask questions, i.e. to Prerna's house when Prerna's delivery has been done, they ask Prerna how everything went, she tells them that her child died, then while Anuja and Neha are leaving, it suddenly starts raining, so Anuja and Neha have to spend the night there, but the behaviour of all the members of that house is very strange, in which the owner of the house, who is Prerna's father, keeps a Mohan Vrat for five years, after that whatever happens with those school teachers, i.e. with Anuja and Neha, is a mind-blowing scene. Now during all this, Anuja and Neha come to know about the real story of Prerna that she has been forcibly imprisoned there, her father does some very wrong activities with her every day, to know the reason behind doing this, you will have to watch the movie. Looking at the strange family shown in this movie, it seems that none of their members is mentally stable, they do whatever comes to their mind and whoever enters their house once, can't go back, they tie him up and torture him a lot. Many scenes in the movie are disturbing, so watch the movie at your own risk. I do not recommend you to watch this movie. Overall the movie takes a lot of time to build up but as the secrets keep getting revealed the movie becomes interesting. In case you have seen this movie then tell me what was your overall experience and which part surprised you the most. This movie is originally from 2020, but right now it's available on SonyLIV. So this was my review of the Welcome Home movie. Don't Forget to Subscribe for related content. I will meet you very soon. Till then take care of yourself, stay happy, keep sharing happiness, and move forward in your life.

Wok of Love Review: Don't Watch This in an Empty Stomach
So now we are going to talk about a drama that has been released in recent times on miniTV as well as on MX Player's platform, its name is Wok of Love. I have finished watching it and today we are going to do its postmortem. I am giving you a small warning beforehand, you might feel very hungry while watching this drama because so many delicious foods have been shown in this drama that it is 100 percent sure that your mouth will water, so watch this show only after eating or drinking something, otherwise, you will end up like me, I had to leave the show midway to go and get some food items from the market, so make arrangements in advance and keep them with you. I would like to tell you that there are 19 episodes available in this Kdrama and the story has ended in these 19 episodes. Hindi dubbing is okay, I did not feel very great and there are a lot of kissing scenes in the show, so you should decide for yourself whether you should follow this show with your family or your children or not. Before coming to the rest of the story of this drama, let me tell you that its story is similar to a large extent to the Indian Bollywood film Dulhe Raja, in which Govinda falls in love with a girl and that girl is very rich, her father has a hotel by the name of Maharaja and the girl's father does not like his son-in-law at all because he runs a small dhaba in front of the same hotel and most of the people who stay in that Maharaja hotel often comes to that boy's dhaba to eat because the food of the hotel is very expensive as compared to the food of that boy's dhaba, even the manager of the hotel comes to eat at that boy's dhaba. For those who don't know dhaba means small food business or food stall type something So the theme of Wok of Love drama presents a premise almost similar to the Dulhe Raja. Here our hero used to work in a hotel where the chief is quite powerful. So the scene is such that his wife cheats on him with the CEO of that hotel. Now he decides that he will take revenge and he starts a small food business in front of the same hotel. Then to know what happens next, you have to watch this drama. The actress who cheated on the main hero is a girl from a rich family who is about to get married but her father gets arrested and she becomes poor, due to which she starts working with the main hero of the story who had started his food business in front of her hotel. So how do both of them establish their empire together the angle of gangsters etc. in this, to know all this, watch this Kdrama. Now coming to my review, if you are looking for a good time pass type Kdrama then definitely this Kdrama can satisfy your hunger. No doubt this show is good but you will have to give a lot of time or patience to watch it and if you do this when you get invested in its world then after that whatever things you get to see in it, whether it is about food or relationships or friendship or gangster angle or other stuff, you will enjoy watching them. The romantic angle is not that great, which means you won't feel fresh much, but still, the way the chemistry of the actors and actresses has been presented is fun to watch. In terms of weak points, the comedy of this Kdrama is not dubbed in Hindi well. The second weak point is that it was a simple concept that was stretched to 19 episodes, so this show might feel a bit lengthy or boring. Nothing too fresh, you can easily predict the beats, especially if you have watched many rom-com shows or those dramas that focus more on the chef or food, then you will get to see similar things. Now in conclusion, if you want to watch a drama for a good time pass and you don't have anything good to watch, then definitely you can prefer this drama this week. Tip: If you watch it slowly, you will enjoy watching the series. Yes, it is not a masterpiece but it is fun to watch. It is a light-hearted comedy and romantic show. If you still enjoy watching such things, then in that case Wok of Love drama is for you. So if you have watched this series, tell me how much you liked it. We've talked so much today that I think my brain needs a nap. Time for me to disappear!

Agatha All Along
We are headed down the witches road and the trials have begun. The first round of trials seemed to bring out the witches deepest fears. We got some very vague insight into each of them and I am hoping that this episode dives a little deeper into backstories and motivations. Episode 4 is titled If I can’t Reach You/Let My Song Teach You. Titling the episodes after lines of the song was a stroke of genius by the way. I love it. As always the fan theories have been floating around. Now that Sharron is dead the latest one that TikTok has come up with is that Rio and Sharron are one in the same and she’s been with the coven the whole time. I love this crazy theories. I think MCU fans are a little crazy and oftentimes their theories have no basis in reality but that is exactly why the weekly release format is so important. There is more time to feel connected to the show and get excited about it.

You're a Bum! But.......You Don't Have to Stay That Way
Rocky (1976) Review You know what movie I haven’t seen in a long time that I want to see now just to see if it was as good as many folks proclaimed it to be? Rocky! The first one. Of course, they’ve done about 1,701 sequels but I’m going to stick with the first one.
