 DHOOTHA (Season 1)

Cast : Naga Chaitanya, Parvati Thiruvothu, Prachi Desai. 

Genre : Supernatural,Horror, Suspense, Thriller, Macabre, 2024-watched. 

Director and Writer : Vikram K Kumar 

Watched Medium : Amazon Prime Video 

My Rating : 9.5/10 😀😀😀😀😀


Crime gets reported to the relevant parties before it actually takes place and the future is something that cannot be altered because it is written by a ghost!! One of the best I have ever watched. Kept me hooked from the start till the end! 

Very thought provoking and nerve wracking experience. Makes us wonder at what point the real infiltration of lies and politics started happening into journalism in our country. Journalism is supposed to be a field filled with people who uphold the values of integrity and truth but for quite a while, spreading fake news has become the norm, for the benefits of certain corporate parties. This web series shines a light on the devastation that could result from the work of a few corrupt journalists. Its told with a very fresh voice and from a very uncliched perspective. Love this series. It has a high rating on imdb too! I give it a 9.5/10 for the brilliant story, narration and the acting of all the characters involved!! If there is one web series you are all looking to watch to get scared, to get educated, to get thoroughly entertained - get your pop corn ready and watch this one!! :) 


This is the kind of a web series that we either watch it all in one go because it is hyper-addictive or stop watching altogether because of an inability to stomach the hyper gore and violence elements in it. I wonder how the director Mr.Kumar has narrated this tangled web of mystery and horror to the actors to convince them to take up their roles. Its not a simple story and there are layers and layers of mystery, suspense, supernatural horror cascaded together. I watched a couple of trial episodes and got hooked for the rest. It is just so good and subtle at the beginning, then only got better. 


I have never seen Naga Chaitanya act so well. He surprised me with his intense and fully immersed skill as a haunted journalist struggling to keep his life from being torn apart by the forces not in his control at all. He plays the role of a highly corrupted and selfish, callous, hedonistic journalist that cares little to nothing about morals. He runs a news paper agency but sells paper space to politicians and media personalities who bid the highest. Some force is targeting all such journalists everywhere and it is his time to be on the radar. While he and his family are targeted by this supernatural force, he also becomes the suspect in a tightening noose of several murder investigations related to this case. He gets mired into a deep and deep pit of trouble with no breathing space.  How does it all turn out? Who is behind the killings? How does he get out of the police investigation? - a smart journalist hunted down by an equally smart DCP agent.

Book Review : The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand

 The Perfect Couple  By Elin Hildebrand  (Nantucket #3) Published Year : 2018 Page Count: 347 pages  Medium Used: Kindle PW  Genre : Romance, Mystery, Suspense, Psychological Thriller, Drama, Crime, 2024-read.  Rating : 4/5  The ending is such an anticlimax and a let down for me - it almost feels like being cheated. I got so high and invested in the narrative..I lost sleep for most of last night and was reading all day since I got up this morning. The character development is ooof .. the characters are filled with life, credulity and fly off the page into the reader's mind space. I loved the layout of the narrative. I loved the writing.  I would have liked if the mother of the family was a bit on the negative side as well. I mean, really, having Nicole Kidman play the role and making it all cute, nice and kind, compassionate is like wasting enormous talent. I picked this book because I saw an ad that there is a limited series coming up on Netflix ...

Book Review: Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

 Gideon the Ninth  By Tamsin Muir  Published Year: 2019 Page Count: 448 pages  Medium Used: Kindle PW  Genre : Action, Fantasy, Magic, Necromancers, Adventure, Murder Mystery, Suspense, Lesbian, 2024-read.  Rating : 4.75/5 🙂🙂🙂🙂🌟 Wow. The twists!! And wow wow wow .. the lies!! The deceptions ! Its exotic and steamy! Unputdownable. Highly Addictive. Been wanting to read this for a while now! The paperbacks being so expensive, I settled in for a Kindle experience. I am not disappointed. The lack of smut - which I expected/anticipated when I heard its lesbian fantasy - is such a relief. The tone of the narrator is serious throughout. I had some laugh out loud moments once or twice but that's it. One of the best fantasy book series ever!  I think it is the prose and writing style that I had to read this book real slow so as not to miss anything out. There is action in this book , necromancer magic, fantastic games and there are murders to solve and lyc...

Book Review : Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and his Years of Pilgrimage by Haruki Murakami

Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and his Years of Pilgrimage  By Haruki Murakami  Published Year: 2013 Page Count: 310 pages  Medium Used: Kindle PW  Genre : Contemporary Fiction, Coming of Age, Mental Trauma, Relationships, 2024-read.  Rating : 4.95/5 🙂 😎 😀 🙂 💫 Murakami brilliantly portrays how shocking and traumatic experiences can get carried over, for many years afterward, if they are not resolved. These have a devastating impact on the relationships and expectations of the person who suffered. The writing is simple and flowing. The pace of the novel is medium and hooks the reader right from the start. I have come to care for each of the characters in the story and not just the protagonist, Tsukuru Tazaki. He also shows what can happen once the person confronts his trauma, talks it out with the perpetrators and realizes that he is better off because of this. Loved the book. Highly recommend.  Tsukuru Tazaki is an introverted, well balanced student who drea...
