Movies & Series

Rewatched a concert film last night instead of a proper movie, zero regrets. There's a moment where the whole crowd sings a line the singer forgot, and I lose it every single time.

Watched a comfort film under my blanket with earphones in while everyone else was out partying. Honestly? Ghibli and a packet of biscuits was a better Friday than any club could have given me.

Watched a Feluda film again last night, third time this year. My wife rolls her eyes, but I know every single dialogue. Some stories you don't rewatch for the suspense — you rewatch to sit with an old friend for two hours.

K-drama over Netflix originals, fight me

Everyone in office is obsessed with big-budget shows and here I am crying over a 16-episode Korean slow-burn at 1am on a work night. Ranchi winter + blanket + subtitles is the whole personality. Recommendations welcome!

Projector jugaad karke chhat pe pura hostel ne ek purani action film lagayi. Half the fun was everyone shouting dialogues before the actors. Screen chhota tha par memory bahut badi ban gayi.

Watched a certain anime film in the cinema alone on a Tuesday and cried behind my mask like a whole waterfall. People sleep on animation being 'for kids', bro it emotionally bodied a grown man in row H. Solo movie dates are elite, actually.

Watched an old cricket underdog movie with the squad on call, all of us muted our own screens to sync the countdown. Cried during the climax and instantly blamed the ceiling fan dust. Best thing about friends is nobody calls out the lie.

Day off on Sunday, made kori rotti for my roommates and put on an old Tulu film none of them understood. They came for the food and stayed to cry at the story anyway. That, my friends, is cinema.

Rewatched an old Dr Rajkumar film with my mother this Sunday and both of us knew every dialogue. She forgets my phone number these days, but not one of those songs. Cinema keeps her here with me.

After a rough shift I put on a K-drama and pretend my life is that soft and slow. Currently rewatching a hospital one, which is insane because I literally live it, but somehow theirs has better lighting. Recommend me something with a happy ending please.

My grandson made me watch a Marvel picture. Too much noise, too many explosions — give me an old MGR or a black-and-white Sivaji any day. Though I confess, I cried a little at the end. Don't tell him.
