For me, English movies, as it was known, in those days to us were out of bounds as they had vulgarity (read sex) and violence. But, as I grew older, my interest in Bollywood lessened, and Hollywood increased, not for the above-mentioned reasons, but I came across some Hollywood releases that had some meaningful content (read the story or moral) in them.
So in this month-long blog challenge, I will be sharing some of the movies (both Bollywood and Hollywood) which I loved and has good content and not to mention some great actors and actresses also some of recent webseries which one gets easliy hooked to and is relateable.
I am starting the blog challenge with A for Aani Kay Hava (2019 - 2021).
Aani kay Hava is a Marathi web series released in 2019 on MX Player. It features real-life couple Umesh Kamat and Priya Bapat, who are well-known artists in the industry.
This web series portrays the bitter-sweet husband-wife relationships between Saket and Jui. Saket has childish behavior and loves and adores his wife and her wishes but if a situation arises he is a gentle husband and firm support to his wife. (After watching this series, most women must have expectations of him as an ideal husband, I am sure.) On the other hand, Jui is a level-headed, responsible career woman who does adore her husband but takes things practically. They both compliment each other perfectly.
Each episode of all three seasons is so relatable and light-hearted that one can sit and watch them for hours repeatedly. Some of my favorite episodes are Puranpoli, Kami Vajan, Chhota Aajarpan, Bhutachya Gosthi, Sadyanchi Karedi, and the best Te Char Diwas.
Each season has six episodes but each episode is equally enjoyable. Be it rib-tickling comedy or some serious matter like Bandhan. Plus the chemistry of Saket and Jui is the highlight of the series.
If you want to drive away your blues, I recommend all to watch Aani Kay Hava in the morning and keep smiling the whole day.

There is also a series on Netflix called little things which might be in the same space. Will be adding this to my to be watched list. Good luck with the rest of the blogging season ahead.
ReplyDeleteAnd before I forget, you not just are going to list Hollywood and Bollywood, you're also going to include Mollywood! Interesting! Looking forward to it.
I have scanned down your whole A2Z as I am doing a review of you and your WhatsApp friends for my roadtrip - I will let you know when I post it. The only film i have seen from your entire list is Erin Brockovich - not that I haven't watched any Indian movies, but not so much the new ones... My dad must have been more of a film enthusiast than was apparent by our lack of going to the cinema or his refusal to let us watch many Hollywood films when we first got a telly "American trash" he would say. But he had the Pelican book of Cinema so I guess he used to go to more world and European films before he met my Mum. My favourite job of all time was to work as a projectionist in a second-run arthouse cinema in Brixton, London. We had a single projector, so you had to make up the seven or so cans of a film into one big reel and then break it down again afterwards. So with the ten or so movies we showed each week, it took all the time the films were showing to complete this task. So you were listening to the film that was showing and you could look out through a little window when there was a good bit, but you were listening more than looking. what that does is give you a sense of the pace, timing, rhythm of a film. What I like about your reviews are they are so personal and emotional...
