Wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do
Quick review: Arranged Marriage 101. A decent bird-eye view of the concept. Once you get an idea, though, boring. (Available on Netflix)
Wogma rating: Don't bother
Quick review: Exasperating lies over lies towards an extremely predictable end.
(Available on Disney+ Hotstar)
Wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do
Quick review: Long, convoluted, over-performed. Pushes you to laugh at it. (Available on Amazon Prime Video)
Wogma rating: Catch on TV/online for sure
Quick review: A sports drama that is hardly the best sports film around yet goes beyond. A social drama that aims to get you involved in the topic, not deeply educated about it. Yet, together makes for a film worth your time and energy. (Available on Zee5)
Wogma rating: The keen must watch on screen; else TV/online
Quick review: It’s long. It’s slow. But it’s a necessary watch. Not just for the real-life martyr’s story but also for how a national hero’s story can be told without resorting to jingoism. (Available on Amazon Prime Video)
Wogma rating: Watch if you have nothing better to do
Quick review: I’d have called myself a whiny, cynical old woman if I found only the depiction of romance problematic. Glamourising creepy men who do "anything" to be loved by someone they love is worrisome. It's difficult to look beyond at other potentially redeeming factors.
(Available on Disney+Hotstar)
Wogma rating: Even the keen, wait for it to come on TV/online
Quick review: Borderline cute and barely horrifying, this supposed horror film is just about watchable. (Available on Disney-Hotstar)
