What happens when "Fargo" crashes into "Dumb and Dumber"-but with a generous serving of spicy masala? You get "Deli Boys", a fresh and frenetic crime-comedy that's as unpredictable as it is entertaining.

At the heart of the series are two brothers: one flamboyant and reckless, the other naïve yet ambitious. Their father, a successful businessman who deliberately kept them out of his empire, suddenly dies-leaving them to inherit not just his legacy but also the shady dealings hiding beneath it. As they fumble through legal and financial chaos, a whirlwind of colorful characters enters (including FBI) the picture, none more magnetic than Aunt Lucky (Poona Jagannathan), who effortlessly steals every scene.

Clocking in at around crisp 23 minutes per episode (sans credit roll), Deli Boys delivers tight, well-paced storytelling, a rarity in today's era of overlong streaming series. The humor is sharp, unforced, and refreshingly authentic-never pausing to over-explain inside jokes, especially those rooted in South Asian (particularly Punjabi) culture.

Goofy yet organic, Deli Boys blends smart writing with strong technical execution. It may not reach cult-classic status, but it's a solid, standout comedy that will resonate with South Asian audiences for years to come.

It's the stereotypical British desi (Indian) romantic comedy mixed up with generous Bollywood cliches.

Yes, could've done it better, perhaps risk taking by bending the character arcs isn't their cup of masala chai tea.

This movie easily goes to your afternoon or weekend watch, but definitely not a boring one... However even if you dooze off for few minutes, you can catch without rewinding.

The cast, and camera work are great, Sindu Vee in particular looks like Radhika Apte, a nice transition from her stand up, which we're used to.

If you're a Romcom person and if you can handle Indian spice, then this is a easy and pleasant watch for you.

If documentaries were just glorified Instagram stories, Larissa: The Other Side of Anitta would be influencer of the year-glossy, over-edited, and thin on substance.

Anitta's journey from Rio's Honório neighborhood to global stardom is inspiring, packed with enough drama and grit for a compelling documentary. This film promises to reveal "Larissa," the woman behind the pop star. But instead of depth, we get a 90-minute PR reel-montages of Coachella, Carnaval, VMAs, Latin Grammys, and her Madame Tussauds wax figure unveiling.

Even its attempt at vulnerability-comparing her struggles to Carmen Miranda's and escaping to the Himalayas for yoga and skiing-feels unconvincing. A great story was there for the taking, but this film settles for bite-sized moments aimed at Instagram and TikTok audiences who might not bother with her previous Netflix docuseries.
