South Film actor Rashi Khanna will be seen opposite Shahid Kapoor in an unnamed web series directed by Raj N. and Krishna DK.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is reportedly going to make his web debut with a historical drama.

Most of the movies released this year and the web series have been overdoing the drug drama and violence. I mean hey we get it how drugs work, but wasn’t it a bit much?

While the plot is making itself out to be more exciting and contrived this time around, it was a little dampening to see that, at least in the trailer, women didn’t find much screen space.

Even as a crime-thriller fanatic, I admit that there’s only so much knifing and gunning one can enjoy with every consecutive frame. It becomes banal after a point.

The 33-second teaser opens with Olivia Colman’s voice that waveringly asserts, “Something as important as the monarchy simply cannot be allowed to fail.”

In the web series, Swara Bhasker plays ACP Radha Nautiyal, a feisty police officer who is out to tackle sex traffickers.

Why blame Sima Taparia, when it is Indian parents, bride and grooms, who go to matchmakers with an outdated checklist?

Bandish Bandits stars Ritwik Bhowmik, Shreya Chaudhry, Naseeruddin Shah, among others and features an original soundtrack composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. The show will be available for streaming on Amazon Prime from August 4.

The miniseries is based on Vikram Seth’s popular novel by the same name and is directed by Mira Nair. Its stellar cast includes Tabu, Ishaan Khatter, Tanya Maniktala, Rasika Dugal, Ram Kapoor among many others.
