What to watch during the lockdown
India TodayWith large parts of India in Covid lockdown, OTT offerings are becoming a daily fix for those confined to their homes. Much like Kota Factory, TVF’s acclaimed show about IIT aspirants, this one also highlights the intense preparations required to clear one of the toughest exams and the repercussions of the stressful environ on relationships. Another Round A still from the 2020 film Another Round Mads Mikkelsen is terrific in this drama about four high school teachers and friends who test psychiatrist Finn Skaderud’s theory, which suggests that having a blood alcohol content of 0.05 is good for the body and subsequently improves one’s social and professional lives. Cinema Bandi A still from the 2021 film Cinema Bandi A camera left behind in an autorickshaw becomes a source of hope for a village whose denizens come together to make a film. An over-the-top hero, a reluctant heroine, a debt-ridden director depleting his limited earnings, a wedding photographer with a penchant for the famous Titanic pose, a kid with a keen eye for continuity and an old, quiet writer form part of the amateur cast and crew of this Telugu film which celebrates that all one needs to make a film is spirit.
