Lajja 2 Review: Powerful Premise, Patchy Delivery

1 week ago | iwmbuzz.com | Shatakshi Ganguly

When a show dares to revisit the haunted corridors of emotional abuse, gaslighting, and societal hypocrisy, it aims to shake things up. Lajja 2, the successor to its predecessor Lajja, tries to shoulder this burden but stumbles somewhere between intent and execution. Directed by Aditi Roy, the series opens with a promising, almost poetic tragedy: a sudden death during a serene getaway to Bolpur.
Puratawn Review: The Fragile Art of Remembering

1 week ago | iwmbuzz.com | Shatakshi Ganguly

If you ever look back and reminisce about your past, would you want it to fade? Past doesn’t hit you until you lose the strings, one by one. And then, by all the force and fervour you have left within you, you start to cradle the past as if you could preserve it by mere will. You would want it to stay. Like the last strands of perfume on an old letter, the crumpled edge of a photograph, or the voice of someone you now only remember in fragments.
The Last of Us S2 Episode 1 Review: Of Grief, Guilt, and Guttural Roars

1 week ago | iwmbuzz.com | Shatakshi Ganguly

The second season of The Last of Us returns not with a whisper but with a haunting dual prologue that instantly sets the stage for a darker, more emotionally complex chapter in this post-pandemic world. If Season 1 was about surviving the apocalypse, Season 2 is shaping to be about surviving each other. The first minutes introduce Abby, played with stunning restraint by Kaitlyn Dever, standing among the graves of her fellow Fireflies.
Killbill Society Review: Death Gets a Dialogue, and a Dark Laugh Too

1 week ago | iwmbuzz.com | Shatakshi Ganguly

If life is a fleeting shadow, as some philosophers would have us believe, then what is death but the light that casts it? It is an absurdity, truly—this dance of life and death, two partners twirling endlessly in a waltz no one remembers beginning and no one knows when it will end. One would think that after centuries of pondering, we might have figured it out. Yet Killbill Society throws a spanner into that well-oiled machinery of existential contemplation.

1 week ago | essentiallysports.com | Shatakshi Ganguly

The prodigal son returns… and takes over the father’s mantle? When David Taylor called time on his wrestling career and took the job at Oklahoma State, a new rivalry started between him and his former mentor, Cael Sanderson. While the Cael Sanderson machine looked impregnable this season, the coach-player bond had turned into a full-blown recruiting chess match, with both stalwarts going head-to-head, chasing the top talent, staff, and transfers. But the drama continues, now with Thomas Gilman.

Young Muskaan and Rudra watch IPL match excitedly between MI and RCB; One supports King Kohli while other is a Pandya fan. Wearing their favourite colors, they cheer, hoot and celebrate like millions of Indian cricket lovers. Cricket in India is indeed religion, and of course, a game loved to the moon and back. “Daddy, I want one of those,” says Muskaan as Bhaijaan of Bollywood pops open a gutka packet. “Is it chocolate?” persists Muskaan as Daddy dear huffs and puffs wondering what to answer.

You walk into a packed Auburn football stadium and might hear it echo right through…Warrrr Eagle! And roared not just once but over and over by tens of thousands clad in orange and blue. It’s the tradition that mirrors right in front of your eyes. But it gets a bit puzzling for the outsiders, here! So if the mascot, as the school claims is the ‘Tiger’, in a striped suit named Aubie, then why the chanting that we hear is of an eagle?

What’s going on with Penn State? Back-to-back transfers are fueling the current scenario within the team, and things have gotten on a roll with the very recent one with Zach Ryder. Zach Ryder’s move to the transfer portal is a shocker for many. Earlier, we saw Alex Facundo and Gary Steen, two former Penn State wrestlers, heading to Oklahoma State to wrestle under head coach David Taylor.
