Meiyang on Dil Bechara: The honesty that's gone too soon

Meiyang Chang shared on Twitter, "Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to watch #DilBechara when the wound is still so fresh. But it had to be watched for Sushant & the magic he brought to the movies. So much feels contextual now, and I'm not an emotional man. But I couldn't stop my tears. Just breaks my heart. That he gave his craft his all is undoubted. Three scenes in particular will move you, even if you have no emotional connection with SSR. You'll see the brilliance, the spark, the honesty that's gone too soon. Let's just pray for him, ok? Let's remember his smile 🤗 #DilBechara"

'A perfect send-off to Sushant'

Indianexpress.com's Mimansa says, "Dil Bechara is the best possible tribute Bollywood could give to Sushant Singh Rajput. We knew about The Fault in Our Stars, but never thought it'll feel so real this time. SSR wins every frame with his smile, innocence and acting. The makers have kept the best of Sushant. Sanjana Sanghi looks polished and ready for a long innings in Bollywood. The film's supporting cast including Swastika Mukherjee, Saswata Chatterjee and Sahil Vaid win hearts too. Its music by AR Rahman plays an important role in helping the film grow on you. Much to the expectation, a true treat jerker and a perfect send-off to Sushant."

Black Sails: Netflix

There are few good shows on pirates, and Black Sails sits pretty on the top. Although the first season was marred by more talking than action, Black Sails picks up from second, gets better in third, and goes out with a bang with its fourth and final season. The story is the prequel of Treasure Island, classic adventure book by Robert Louis Stevenson.

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency: Netflix

This one is among the weirder and eccentric shows. Frodo of Lord of the Rings movies, Elijah Wood, plays an everyman whose life is turned into a veritable whirlwind a flamboyantly British "holistic" detective; holistic because he believes everything in the universe to be interconnected. And indeed, he has a seemingly preternatural ability. The feel of the show is like from one of the more strange comic-books from the 80s came to life. The story is loosely based on the writings of the great Douglas Adams.

In his review of French Biriyani, Indianexpress.com's Manoj Kumar R wrote, "What makes this film truly cosmopolitan is each character remains culturally distinct and yet coexist. They speak different dialects and yet they understand each other so well. And is there a better way to pay tribute to a city which is as diverse as Bengaluru?"

He added, "But, how does French Biriyani fare in the humour department? Not bad. The first half of the movie is full of improv humour following the terrifying experiences of the French national. And add to that Danish’s flawless Urdu mixed with urban Kannada dialect, you get plenty of funny moments over the course of two hours. If you are a bit familiar with Bengaluru’s street talk, then this mindless comedy gets even more relatable."
