A show about chance encounter and serendipity that can bring people together, Love handles presents quirky scenarios that are capable of forming strong bonds between strangers.

Each short webisode comes with a new theme ranging anywhere from a south Indian engineer failing to woo potential arranged brides or a mute but kind-hearted soul attempting to find romantic companionship. With a few catchy lines here and there, a couple of accurate observations, there isn't a whole lot substance to it and the show requires quite a lot of work. Performances are pretty average too, not insufferable, just average.

It's a cute format with some meaningful stories but some wildly asinine. You might want to give this a shot when having a few minutes to kill.

Unlike most onscreen infallible families, Rathore's have their fair share of disappointments, drama, and feuds. The great Indian dysfunctional family is although a soap opera at heart, but comes quipped with a clean, modern and realistic narrative.

Vikram (Kay Kay Menon), is a retired Colonel whose injury forced him into leaving the army. Vikram's domineering and strict disposition towards his family makes him come off as cold. His second wife tries her best to accommodate to his and the family's needs which makes her feel dejected and repressed. His brother Samar (Barun Sobti), ran away from the despair a long time ago, and now has returned with his wife to be part of a family wedding. Vikram's mother, on the other hand, is a lively and vibrant woman who wishes to see her family reunited. While all of the members grapple to keep the frail threads of their relationships taught by putting aside their differences, chances of reconciliation look bleak. From Vikram's daughter's accidental revelation of her homosexual orientation to his mother's frailing health, many challenges are facing the Ranaut's, before the unconditionally accept each other.

The production design is pleasing, writing is on point and engaging. Performances aren't half baked either, and characters deliver some moving dialogues. It's a great watch for drama enthusiasts.

Before addressing a million things that wrong with this show, let me primarily rant about the awful fake laugh soundtrack in the background. It seems like the production team realized, how off-putting the humor is actually but resorted to an even more off-putting measure to resolve it. By now, it must be apparent that Fourplay is as bad as the pun they have used in their title.

A story about Raj Malhotra (Rajesh Khattar), a distraught married man and his business associate Bobby Chawla (Gaurav Chopra), whose belief in loyalty is as fickle as his disturbing personality. They along with their wives Pooja (Vandana Sajnani) and Brinda (Kubra Sait) respectively, who happen to be close friends, face the perils of married life and sexual adventures. The show employs cheap double entendre and cheaper one-liners to account for humor. Needless to say, writing is abhorent and mindless. Performers attempt to deliver convincing performances but any of their attempts are obliterated by the absurd script.

Production design and direction could have used work but aren't half bad as the writing. Even the first 10 minutes of the show can induce nausea and headache. Viewers discretion is highly advised.

Hum Tum can be best described as a feel-good series about the big moments. It brings us up close and personal with the realistically flawed characters as they go through the watershed moments in a relationship-- first date, contemplating taking a break. We see them work through challenges together one moment and realizing how their partner falls short the next.

It’s an imperfect show though, with an unclear theme. While the characters stay the same, the episodes sometimes feel disconnected. Hum Tum, however, would be an excellent addition to your guilty-pleasure playlist. It’s cheesy enough to keep you coming back, but not enough to make you cringe every 5 seconds.

It delivers a mediocre experience but may be worth a skim.

Ah! In a sea of mediocre series with overblown characters, Summer Love is a down-to-earth, simple piece of production that greets you like a summer breeze. It makes you believe in the power of filmmaking by going back to the basics --the story and the characters-- a refreshingly rare move today. The story starts off mid-dialogue, which is one of the most ingenious ways to get the audience hooked. It then ascends at just the right pace and we take a seat inside the characters’ minds as they narrate their feelings and their journey together.

Unlike other shows in the genre, this one chooses to make both the characters’ stories heard, and not just the male lead’s. The show is cute but sticks incredibly well to realistic scenarios. The background score is incredibly well-placed and the characters’ chemistry is almost unreal. They mesh incredibly well, and the story does a stellar job of portraying love-- from overthinking about his cues to using an ice cream to symbolize their feelings--the show puts a lot of effort into the little things, and, in the show’s lingo, isn’t it the little things that matter the most?

This is a must-watch if you’re fond of intelligent storylines and creative character arcs.

The series follows Richa (Ahsaas Channa), a run-of-the-mill shy girl who’s ready to break out into the world, taking her roommate Milli (Simran Natekar), and unwelcome friend Jo (Srishti Shrivastava) for the ride. It follows their adventures as they tackle serious problems, like identifying the bra-thief in their hostel. The show does a good job of being light-hearted but not baseless. While a lot of the problems are made-up, and the show throws in fake misogyny to incite humor, it lets some real conditions slip in, like the double-standards around there being a curfew for girls, but not for boys.

The show also does such a good job at recreating college life that cliches like the social ladder and the forced villainization of medical students only adds to the fun. Another villain, the warden (Trupti Khamkar) was, surprisingly, one of the funniest characters in the series. Other roles were reasonably well-acted, and the work put into film editing shines as well.

It’s cheesy, but entertaining enough to make it watch worthy.

'Unmarried' is a classic tragedy of a terrible execution failing an imaginative script. I could barely make through this Pop XO Original's first episode, the rest of them felt like a never-ending drag. Not everything about this show screams abhorrence but the bad elements are bad enough to hinder the overall experience.

Societal pressure to get married isn't unheard of. "Umar nikali jaa rahi hai" is a ubiquitous relative's favorite. Unmarried presents the tales of 5 single people while some of them are consciously choosing to stay out of the game, others are miserably failing at it. Kay (Asshita) and Sahil (Sandeep Jain) are co-founders of a startup and yet to make it big. Their business relationship goes awry when Sahil finally concedes to his family's pressure of getting married and decides to leave the startup. Their tale while isn't the most convincing, it definitely isn't repulsive. Then comes Chirag (Sanchay Goswami) into the picture, one of the most poorly written and acted characters in the entire webspace whose cultural backwardness has deprived him of a romantic partner. Then there are Abby (Jitender Singh Rajput) and Sneha (Riya Ahuja), finances, whose relationship has been tainted by infidelity.

The show is exceedingly boring, writing is sub-par and slow-paced and performances are mediocre. It's at best an unpleasant way to fill a lot of spare time.

This is exactly the kind of show that makes you wonder why are celebrities talk shows ubiquitous and not the real, grounded and candid formats like Girlsfeed? It's a captivating expression by regular women from diverse walks of life, sharing and reminiscing about their perspectives and experiences.

Every episode features strong women (usually Buzzfeed India's team members) along with a central topic up for discussion ranging from dating, societal expectations and prejudice against women. The sheer access into nuanced insights of 'regular' people about commonplace instances is thrilling and engrossing.

Girlsfeed is a pleasant watch with a refreshing change of pace. Hearing voices that come from an honest place and incidences that are relatable as well as quite amicable will prove to be an indulging and heartwarming experience.

The show reflects on the lesser-known facts of a professional life. From miseries that Monday brings to hardhips of underappreciated doctors, Phas Gaye yaar presents it as it is, untainted. It bares the truth and hardly attempts to sugar coat it, but does employ humour to diffuse the grim and thought-provoking remarks about challenges of various professions, hidden deep beneath its a surface.

Every episode has a different theme, be it horrors of a desk job, an overworked doctor or undervalued and misunderstood lawyer, the show is quite inclusive in its coverage and considerate equally to every one of their sufferings. At no point, writers can be blamed of exaggeration under the name of poetic liberty, since everything talked about is the actual stark reality.

It's a comedy rant, pains of which many will relate to. Either you'll resonate with them or learn something from it.

From performances and writing to setting a thriller mystery tone, nothing works as advertised. Even for an adaptation, there are glaring plotholes and an audacious attempt at presenting them without any modification. The opening scene alone is meek and powerless, fails to make the impact of a crime thriller.

The only saving grace is Tisca Chopra's performance and a convincing portrayal of a reputed doctor, Mira practicing at an upscale private hospital who goes through a series of emotions and revelations as the meteor named SP Prithvi Singh (Ronit Roy) hits her and her family demanding a botched operation of the CM. Ronit Roy isn't meant to play the bad guy, especially this bad guy with a nuanced personality and a multitude of dimensions. There is an attempt at making characters seem well developed but forced use of slang and hip curse words overshadows the weak plotline

You're better off watching an episode of crime patrol than dragging through this heap of mess.
