Christopher Reeve got cast as superman back in 1977. His friends and father were all against him in taking up the role but the movie turned into a foundation for today's comic book genre. It was at this time were he was in a relationship with gae exton with whom he had two children - Matthew and Alexandra. Later Superman 2 released which was too a success. But his movie career never flourished outside superman which led him to take up movies made for television. It was at this time, he got seperated with exton. Months later, he met singer dana and fell in love with her. They got married and had a son William. But tragedy strikes in 1995, where Reeve fell from his horse broke his neck and became quadriplegic. With the loving support of dana and friend robin williams chris started making public appearances first at the Oscars, then for various public welfare programmes. He acted as well as directed three movies while being on wheelchair. He started christopher reeve foundation where he was doing stem cell research for people with sci. But in 2004, he passed away. His wife dana steps in his position for the foundation. But, tragedy once again strikes when dana is diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and dies in march 2006. After her death, their children took their position.

The documentary mostly(with which this would not have not been possible, otherwise reeves would be remembered today just as a washed out actor) focuses on the aftemath of Reeves accident. Reeve initially started hating himself for ruining everything but dana said those beautiful words to him- you are still you and I love you which inspired reeves to not give up and fight this disability. Dana's unconditional love and reeves children's understanding and support needs to be appreciated. Also, our lovely robin williams was also with him for everything. Glenn close said that robin wouldn't die if reeve was alive.

On the whole, superman the christopher reeve story is a must watch if you are not aware of this legend's real life story.

Mufasa the lion king, prequel of the lion king shows the origin of mufasa becoming the lion king. The positives are that you have a fresh experience while watching because its a new story unlike the 2019 version. Also, animation is great.

But the biggest disappointment was the origin story of scar. Scar, as we know is so cunning and evil. He is initially shown here as a lovable cub seeing mufasa as his brother. Later, he turns into mufasa's sidekick during the former's quest. Do you want to know why scar turned evil? Its because, he liked sarabi but sarabi had feelings for mufasa. That's it. Its like in bahubali, bhallalladeva just hating bahubali because devasena chose the former over him. This ruins the character of scar, who was the best Disney villain ever.

Overall, its an okay mufasa story, but a very bad scar story.

In anurag basu's anthological film ludo, my favorite segment was the one featuring abhishek bachchan and inayat verma. Five years later, we get to see both of them in a full fledged film as father and daughter.

Its a story of a widower father and his daughter who wants to participate in dance india dance competition. Abhishek's character tries to be a strict dad but is easily emotionally manipulated. The whole first half runs on a flat note as everything happens in favor. But then comes a twist which makes the film emotional.

Be happy is a perfect ott film which would not have succeeded in theatres, but in ott during a lazy day, you sit with your family and watch this you would love it.
