Web series review - Cheesecake

Platform: MXPlayer

They say "A dog is a man's best friend" & after watching this series you will feel that it's so true.
A light hearted drama / comedy story where its about a dog that changes the lives of all characters in the story. The way the series have handled relationships and emotions behind it is truely worth watching.

Cheesecake
Jitendra Kumar and Akanksha Thakur are back together in this series after very long time. The storyline is predictable but definately watchable due to their chemistry & acting. Akanksha Thakur stands out during the emotional moments. Mahesh Manjrekar's part in this series is quite good and worth watching along with Ashwini Karsekar. Comprising of just 5 episodes, this series is truely worth watching & will truely help you enlighten your mood. This web series tells us how pets emotionally connect with us. A truly emotional ride for dog lover and pet lovers.

IMDB: 9.1/10

Dinner Date by the beach

November 24, 2019 3 Comments
Dinner Dates are supposed to be the most romantic thing to plan on various occasions like proposals, anniversary celebrations etc. 

It is one of those moments where you want to make your loved ones feel extra special. What better can it be than planning it close to the beach, right below the moonlight, between beautiful lights, flowers and wine❤️ Just you and your partner! Isn't it a perfect one? 


Being a Bollywood lover and like every other gal, I wanted to have a perfect date by the sea. To dream about it is very easy, isn't it? but planning one can be tough. So, there started my hunt to find someone who could arrange this for me in Goa. That's how I found tablenumberseven (Adelia). 

She helped me with couple of options close to where I stayed. One of the options that I narrowed down to got cancelled because of some reason. When I was completely lost and loosing the little hope that I had, Adelia helped me with this new contact. So, that's how I came in contact with Ankith Kedar from Sochi Beach. I just spoke to this guy on the day when I wanted to have this date and this guy did everything possible. 



From the time, I spoke to him I was sure this is going happen. He put all his efforts in terms food, decor and most importantly, he was never said 'No', it's not possible even though I had contacted him on the same day at the very last minute. Sochi Beach is a beach bar on the Benaulim Beach where our date was planned. They had just opened it and we were the privileged one to inaugurate such kind of thing as a couple. 




All the while I was still worried as to how it will turn out. In the evening when we arrived to this place, the view of the set-up done was so delightful that not just me but my husband was awestruck too. He couldn't believe how & when did I plan all this. Seeing that twinkle in his eyes and happiness on his face that he loved it, I was very happy. That's the feeling you get which can't be expressed in words but can only be felt by seeing that happiness in your someone special's face ❤️


The food by Chef Aaron was equally amazing. We had a very good time and I'm sure we will treasure this beautiful memories that we had while we celebrated our 6 month anniversary at Sochi Beach. 

Thanks a ton guys for such lovely arrangements and all the very best for the upcoming season which I'm sure would be an amazing experience for everyone who visits this place just like we had. Here's their Instagram page.

Sad way of departing Ganpati

September 20, 2019 0 Comments
Ganesh Chaturthi, the most popular and loved festival celebrated with huge zeal and enthusiasm in India. The celebration lasts for 10 to 11 days, Ganesha idol is worshiped. We all know the amount of devotion, love that we bestow upon Him but it hurts me to see why do people become so inconsiderate during visarjan time?

Ganesh idols that came back on the shore post immersion

It is the same old story every year. Most of the people get idols made of plaster of paris. Instead why not move to the eco-friendly way. If you still don't realise then you should definitely visit the beaches post visarjan day. The same idol whom you worshiped, took care of is lying on the sea shore with its broken head, hand and what not.
If this is the case then what's the point of worshiping these idols at home when we can't respect it or take care of it.

By doing this, we are also destroying the flora and fauna of the sea. We are polluting the water and creating imbalance on the earth. If that's not all for you all then I don't know what is? It's high time, we realize and take actions that we take care of mother earth for our future generations.

Go for eco-friendly Ganesha which can be immersed at home, used as mud for planting. By doing this, we will always have Bappa with us. The plants will definitely add beauty to your house and give you clean air to breath. I have friends who have made idols on their own or have either moved to eco-friendly ways. I would request you all to promise yourself if you haven't moved to eco-friendly idols then please do 🙏🏻

Here's an article that was recently published on mid-day to read more on the visarjan details on Juhu and Dadar beaches.

Movie Review - Kalank

April 19, 2019 0 Comments
One word review: Avoidable

A love story based on the pre-Independence British era in 1945 where the young Roop (Alia Bhatt) is torn between respect for husband Dev (Aditya Roy Kapur) and her newfound love for Zafar (Varun Dhawan). Their back stories unfolds and haunt their present and decide their future during the India’s Partition era.

What's Good: There are quite a few good stuff that includes - Alia Bhatt & Varun Dhawan with their screen presence & chemistry. Alia looks beautiful and delicate from start till the end, all thanks to her amazing costumes. Kunal Khemu shines in his small role with grey shade. The sets and the design looks great & humongous.

Kalank movie review


What's Bad: Too many things to be honest starting with the chemistry. There is absolutely no chemistry between the actors be it Madhuri & Sanjay to Aditya & Sonakshi. Their expressions looks forced and the love isn't visible in any scenes they portray. The length 2 hours and 48 minutes is too long for people to sit and watch the movie. After the first 30 mins, the movie becomes predictable and it feels a decade inside the theater. The direction and the screenplay is too bad that the dialogues seems boring in the course of the movie. Many scenes are left incomplete in the movie and the characters are not well written. The "Bull Fight" scene looks kiddish and has bad VFX which makes it hilarious rather than intense.

Overall, a movie which totally justifies the title and can be avoided easily. With a low rating of 2.5/10 in IMDB, its good to avoid this movie and watch 'Devdas" instead ;)

Web series review - Criminal Justice on Hotstar Specials

April 09, 2019 3 Comments
Directed by Tigmanshu Dhulia and Vishal Furia, this is an Indian adaptation of a BBC series of the same name. The series revolves around Aditya (Vikrant Massey) who gets accussed of murder after having one night stand with a girl under the influence of drugs. The plot revolves around him on how the justice is done.

Criminal Justice Review
Coming to the performances, the central character Vikrant Massey, what an actor he is. Each and every character which he has enacted is just fabulous from being hero's friend in Lootera, Death in the Gunj to Mirzapur, Broken..but beautiful, Made in Heaven and now Criminal Justice. One can say he is a rare talent who can take any role and perform outstandingly well. His expressions, dialogue delivery is just apt to the role from being a fearful boy at the start to fearless person. Eagerly waiting for next release Chhapak. Pankaj Tripathi, one of the most lovable and well known actors in recent times is just simply outstanding in his role as Adv. Madhav Mishra. He aces his character with dry humour, making you smirk at his witty lines. Do watch for his conversation with the psychologist he consults. Jackie Shroff makes his debut in a digital series and aces it "bole to jahkkas bhidu". Pankaj Saraswat is monotone and stereotyped in his role of an honest police officer. Anupriya Goenka is good in her part and supports Tripathi well.

Review on Criminal Justice - Hotstar

On the whole, a worth watching series & will keep you glued to the series despite a lengthy 10 episode series. Do watch it on Hotstar if you are a fan of crime based series & the fabulous actors trio.

Masala Library - BKC

April 04, 2019 0 Comments
My long wait to visit this place finally came true, thanks to my new company 😊 Masala Library by Jiggs Kalra is an amazing restaurant to visit for a wonderful experience. The most important thing to keep in mind is to have a booking done during peek time to avoid being disappointed. It has got a nice ambiance with courteous staff to help you with the best of recommendations.

They have three varieties of offer for us -
1. Buffet
2. A la carte
3. Corporate Menu

We went ahead with a corporate menu which was 5-course meal:) The portions are less but 5 meal is more than enough to fill your stomach.
So, we were welcomed with this complementary drink of coconut water with tiny mango pulp. This was served in such a way that it resembled a bird's nest with eggs. (hats off to their presentation)

Welcome drink - coconut water + mango pulp
1) We started with a snack - Charcoal Papad Chat. Like the name suggests, it tasted like a proper chat but in small portion.

2) In soup, we had lemon coriander shorba. A healthy one!

3) Then began the starters with Prawns Balchao Kulcha. The stuffing within the tiny kulcha of prawns was too delicious.

Followed by Lahori seekh kebab, amchoor and butter jhol. So, the best part of each meal was its presentation. Also the waiter would narrate us the food delicacy in detail of what it consists of.

After having half the meal and reaching to the main course, they served us these misti doi sticks with the strawberry syrup on top to get our taste buds back in track.

Under main course, we had Butter chicken with butter roti. And honestly, we were full by the time main course arrived. Like I mentioned earlier, though the portions were small but since there were many options, we were full.

Finally the most awaited part of the meal was the desserts. Inspite of hardly having any space in my tummy, I couldn't miss the amazing rasmalai tres leches.

Last but not the least, we had Pan Candy floss to sum up our stupendofantabulously magical meal at Masala Library 💓 The food was good, staff was courteous, price is definitely on the higher end but then at times you need to pay high cost to facilitate such amazing experiences.
