I used to like Khushi. She seemed like a sweet girl, lost after her mother's passing. But after Archie's and now this, her acting is so so bad. She has clearly gotten a lip job and can't talk to save her life. Her outfits were interesting, but in the attempt to look cut and innocent, she cannot carry anything off. And her acting is so so bad, I was cringing, and even while forwarding I could not watch. A talentless product of nepotism. I could not get over her bad acting to even notice Saif Ali Khan's son, who didn't seem as bad but should take acting lessons. Even the "dance" was so cringe-worthy. Who put these two in this film? The dialogues are also so bad. I do not recommend this film for a single minute, it is not worth it even when forwarding.

I loved this movie! I am probably in the minority. The topic itself is dark, so much about loneliness, isolation, making the best what you have, and strange relationships. I loved Gleeson and Farrell, and the duo with the writer were the perfect combination. I ended up watching In Bruges after and loved that too. It is a story set in Ireland. The humor is dark, and the bleakness is horrifying, and yet, strangely, the human mind and small town-mind is intriguing. I loved watching it and highly recommend it. It is not a light movie, but certainly not psychological or complicated like Bergman movies. But it is intriguing and a good watch. The acting is fantastic, and it haunts your mind long after.

I loved season 1 of Made in Heaven. It broke boundaries on a massive scale, and my Latina friend recommended it, showing how many boundaries it had broken. Everyone I knew loved it. I watched it multiple times eagerly awaiting season 2. Did season 2 live up to its hype? It felt like a let-down. For one, season 1's premise of one marriage per season with parallels in the leads' own lives worked quite well and tied it up well. Season 2 seems like a hodgepodge of things trying hard to be consistent. Every single episode is "woke". While I love how this show has touched upon serious topics, season 2 was like being slapped in the face in every single episode how being woke and diverse and different is ok. I like subtleties, I do not like being hit in the face multiple times. It is exhausting.

Karan, Kabir and Jassi keep going round and round in the same cycle, while Tara lands on solid ground but in the process loses her simple boyfriend who is just a good guy, the chemistry everywhere seems quite rushed, the couples all seem very mechanic.

Season 1 had heart; season 2 has moments of it but there is so much going on that the overall heart is completely missing. Season 1 showed us how the couple fell in love, season 2 couples and marriages are revolving around the other characters completely losing its roots. Is season 2 worth it? Yes. Everything - sets, costumes, are all stunning. But it is certainly a let-down from season 1.

Season 2 did not need all the celebrities because then it takes away from the heart of the characters and weddings. The director got too carried away casting her celebrity friends who really have no purpose.
