Knives Out
The Endgame ensued, and at the end of it, Captain America took the long-awaited
retirement to live the life he always wanted. But Chris Evans surely didn’t leave our
minds and hearts. If you are the one who is in love with the Agatha Christie brand of
mystery and are missing the beloved
Avenger
on the big screen, here’s the chance to
see him in an entirely different avatar.
Knives Out
is the story of a dysfunctional family
and the secrets that they are hiding, and what may come spilling out when a murder
investigation starts post the death of its patriarch, who was a bestselling mystery author.
Spearheading the investigation is Detective Denoit Blanc, played by Daniel Craig,
enacting a stylish stint post his Bond act; and accompanying him is a brilliant backup of
actors such as Ana de Armas, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon, and more.
The King
The finale of
Game of Thrones
left a bitter
taste in the mouth of many. However, the
genre of fantasy and history has sparked
the imagination of many, since then, and
people have been searching for similar
content to satiate their curiosity. Well, no
more. Netflix is bringing its original movie
The King
, which is based on William
Shakespeare’s several plays under the
name of Henriad. It follows the story of
Prince Hal or King Henry V, who ascends
the throne after the demise of his father,
and it rests upon his shoulders to free the
palace and his reign from the clutches of
war and chaos. Even though it’s a film and
not a series, the trailer of
The King
has been
acclaimed by many, majority of whom are
part of the
Game of Thrones
fan base.
Mentalhood
Motherhood — since time immemorial, the term has been idealised and
idolized. This has also given rise to the dangerous societal notion of
banishing any mother who shows the slightest signs of not being able
to cope with her role. Get ready for a roller-coaster ride of hilarious yet
relatable emotions with
Mentalhood
, a web series which will soon be
out on ALT Balaji. Featuring a stellar star cast of Sandhya Mridul, Shruti
Seth, Dino Morea, Sanjay Suri, and more, it also marks the web debut of
Karishma Kapoor. The posters have already stirred interest among the
watchers of the genre. It will have to be seen what novelty it brings to the
already-diverse platter of web series.
