Paatal Lok: Amazon Prime Video

The Indian Express' Shubhra Gupta gave the Amazon Prime Video web series 3.5 stars and wrote in her review, "A celebrity TV anchor is the target of a group of killers. Why do they want to kill him? Who is behind it all? The case is handed over to a cynical, seen-it-all, from the wrong-side-of-the-tracks cop, and as he starts digging, startling connections between the most unlikely people in the most unlikely places start popping up. Paatal Lok is fashioned as a crime thriller-cum-police procedural set mainly in Delhi, spinning off into several threads, some really solid, a few comparatively weak, but managing to keep its hold on us. Weaving in an awareness and recognition of contemporary India makes it political, and elevates it: Paatal Lok is intelligently written, fast-paced, and engrossing, and I thoroughly enjoyed it." Read More.

Recently, Anurag Kashyap and Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer Ghoomketu released on ZEE5. In her review of the film, Indian Express' Shubhra Gupta wrote, "Comedy likho, badi demand hai’, Ghoomketu is told. We really could do with some laughs in these grim times, and this film’s premise did hold out promise, but it turns out to be more clutch-your-head-ache, than hold-your-sides-laughter."
