Mean Girls 2: I wish this movie didn't exist

I mean you must be absolutely high on meth to even make this movie in the first place. I wholeheartedly despise this movie, and this isn't just my opinion alone in fact everyone else thinks the same way as well. This kind of reaction from the audience was expected because after we were given such an iconic movie, we were given this abomination 'Mean Girls 2'.  I don't even want to summarize this movie because I don't want to ruin anyone's day, all you need to know that this movie is the worst. From extremely unlikeable characters to unoriginal and cringey lines and bad plot, this movie is recipe for disaster.  This movie basically missed all the mark that the previous Mean Girls were able to hit. The first Mean Girls actually delved into the psychological warfare of how teen girls act like and then we have this movie that just makes you want to go outside and admire nature and life outside because of how bad this movie is, or you could instead end up beating som...

Touch: (Breaking the barriers of language)

Mnemosyne is the English department event that we had today on the 13th of March ,2025, and when I tell you guys that it was an eventful day it was for sure a very eventful day, it was hectic and tiring too to say the least but if there is one thing that made the entire day worth staying there then it was probably the play presented by our department called 'Touch' which was a skit on untouchability. "Once you overcome the one-inch-tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films," Bong eloquently stated as he accepted the award for Best Foreign Language Film. When Bong Joon Ho stated this in his speech, I honestly did not think much about it, but I think today is the day when I truly felt the impact of what Bong Joon Ho was trying to say. The play presented to us was fully in Tamil and I as you guys may or may not know I'm not Tamil neither can I understand an ounce of Tamil but today as I watched the play, I understood it completel...

Mean Girls: Understanding female friendships

Image
Mean Girls is such an iconic teen comedy movie that I think most girls of our generation must have already watched it. To the ones who haven't watched it, it is basically a movie that revolves around the life of Cady in high school and how she encounters three of the meanest girls in her new school. She becomes a part of their gang and plans a sabotage against them with Janice who is as mean as them to be honest, but she likes to think otherwise. The three mean girls Regina, Gretchen, and Karen include Cady in their group, and this is where the story starts to shift for all of them.  From brutal backstabbing to cat fights and bullying, everything takes place in the high school, and you could even compare it to a jungle where all the animals have their own system. Female friendships could either be the strongest bond of sisterhood that you will ever see, or it could either be a living nightmare for you, personally I count myself really blessed to have such wonderful people around me...

Talaash: A movie filled with suspense and mysteries

Image
'Talaash' is a movie directed by Reema Kagti and produced by Aamir Khan. Starring Kareena Kapoor, Aamir Khan and Rani Mukherjee Talaash is a thriller/horror Hindi movie. The opening scene starts off with a car swerving off the road and falling into the sea. The reason for this remains unknown and what caused the accident also seems to be a mystery meanwhile the driver or you could say the passenger inside. As the policemen investigates the next day all the eyewitnesses say that they saw the car swerving and felt something paranormal, going as far as to even tell the police that Pinky their dog also tried to warn them about it. Now, it is a known fact that animals have a sixth sense, they can sense dangers right away so in this case the dog sensed something unusual that the normal human eye cannot really see. After the car is taken out from the sea, it is revealed that the person inside called Armaan Kapoor a 'celebrity' died and he was apparently wearing the seatbelt as...

Summer Strike: A heartfelt love story between two introverts

Image
The bustling city life can get tiring, where everything is so fast paced life can get hectic in a city. There is very little room for peace. Yeo-Reum is the protagonist of the drama Summer Strike, which is a heartfelt love story that resonates with everyone. The story follows Yeo-Reum a twenty-eight year old woman who quits her job and moves to a village because her life kept going on a downward spiral in the city, I think what Yeo-Reum does here is important to understand because she does not just leave everything behind because she felt like it but rather it was to start fresh by understanding herself better and by finding her own individuality. She was always caught up with what to do and what not to do thus it came to the point that she didn't even know herself anymore thus her moving out of the city was not just an impulsive decision. As Yeo-Reum settles in the village she meets Daebom who is a local librarian, they are shown to have interest for each other from the first glan...

Good Bad Mother: The Role of a Mother

Image
'Mothers' are perhaps the most beautiful beings. Their sacrifices, their dedication, their love, care and consideration are the things that make a good mother. It's not easy being a mother well that's certain, women are blessed with ability to create, and I think that in itself is the most beautiful aspect of being a woman. 'The Good Bad Mother' is a melodramatic, heartwarming Korean show staring Ra Miran as Kangho's mother, Lee Do-Hyun as Kangho and Ahn Eun-Jin as Mijoo, the show follows the story of a mother (Kangho's) and a son (Kangho) whose relationship is sure to bring anyone in tears. The first few episodes of the show portray Kangho as an unjust prosecutor who only thinks about himself which is directly shown as a result of the years of torment that he went through as child due to his mother, not being able to hangout or even play with his friends because his mother always forced and pressured him to study hard until he becomes a prosecutor, in o...

The Summer I turned Pretty: Belly is the problem

Image
'The Summer I turned Pretty' more like the summer I turned into a mess. Take off your glasses and then boom you have your glow up, season one's plotline is so awfully obvious, Belly, our protagonist spends her vacation with Suzanna and her boys every summer, but this summer is different, and can you guess why is that so? Yep, that's right she has a glow up, so this summer is going to be different for her and also, she likes one of Suzanna's son Conrad, well she always liked him, but he acts like big jerk towards her in the first few episodes. Jeremiah on the other hand Conrad's brother, is a sweetheart towards Belly, always looking out for her, being there for her when she needs him the most, but can you guess what belly does? she breaks his heart by kissing Conrad and gives him false hope in the beginning. Yeah, Belly is the problem here and there is no defending her, and I admit that she is young and naive, so she made mistakes but like she's also really ...

Unlocked: THE DANGERS of our digital era

Image
Unlocked: The dangers of the digital era We use our phones for practically everything in our daily life, whether it’s for watching shows, movies or buy things, calling for Uber, connecting with people all over the world. I think phone has truly become a necessity in our day to day life, but what happens when our phones become the reason why we are in danger? Terrifying to even think about it especially because our digital footprint is everywhere. The movie that I am going to talk about today is ‘Unlocked’, a Korean thriller/horror film directed by Kim Tae-Joon. This movie is scary to say the least, because imagine losing your phone and then you get your phone back but this time your phone has a hidden camera inside it and it can practically see everything that you are doing ok so that is terrifying and possibly the worst nightmare for everyone and this is what this movie is about. I think it’s always thrilling and more exciting to watch the movie for yourself and see how the movie goes...

XO Kitty: Another show that is awfully bad

Image
XO Kitty.......hmmmmmmm....so where should I start? Xo Kitty is an American Netflix show in which the main character 'Kitty Song Covey', goes to Korea to study in the most reputed school 'KISS' where even her boyfriend/pen pal studies and to also find out more about her dead mother so that she can relate to her mother and resonate with her Korean side. Now when I say this show is bad, I mean it's bad TERRIBLE INFACT The plot itself doesn't sound bad but Oh Boy! when I tell you that the storyline was so poorly written I mean it. Literally everyone in the show is a big douche, or they might be even worse. Kitty our protagonist who was a beloved character in "To all the boys I've loved before" had such a bad character development in XO Kitty that will make anyone wonder what went wrong with her. She comes to Korea to learn about her mom mainly, yet she barely does anything to actually learn about her, every episode is like a new montage of her falling...

Our First Vlog: Starting something new

Image
Starting something new can be terrifying but at the same time exciting, so when Eshall and I decided to start a vlogging channel we were uncertain on how we should actually start it, nevertheless we kept collecting footages and by collecting, I mean we literally hoarded a bunch of clips. Was it fun though?  I mean yeah kind of except when you are like dying of hunger and you really want to eat the food, but you still have to take ten different videos of it from different angles then it's a torture, but other than that the process of making this video was really fun. Eshall and I would get random bursts of energy to shoot more and create more content so if you are up to watching our videos then you could expect for us to post regularly. Anyways I really do hope that you enjoy watching our video and please do like, share and subscribe to our channel. https://youtu.be/poEgyFLD9GY?si=ZsiII1zRnGqeegrL Until next time, bye guys

Image
'What Will People Say' is a 2017 internationally co-produced movie directed and written by Iram Haq, starring Maria Mozdah as Nisha, the protagonist and Adil Hussain as Nisha's father. The story revolves around the life of a Pakistani teenager Nisha in Norway who lives a double life, with her Norwegian friends she tries to fit in, going to parties, drinking, smoking etc, but with her parents she is the perfect daughter who tries to live up to their expectation. Nonetheless, she is a teenager at the end of the day, so she ends up making a mistake which turns her entire life around so as a form of punishment her father decides to send her to Pakistan to stay with her aunt and I won't be spoiling much about the movie because I do want everyone to watch this movie for themselves.  This movie is art in itself, depicting the harsh reality. The words "what will people say" resonates with the people who are from conservative households, Indian households in itself ut...

Juice: A Powerful Short film

Juice is a short film directed by Neeraj Ghaywan starring Shefali Shah, this film delves into the dynamics of gender roles, and the misogyny prevalent in Indian households. The movie follows the story of Manju and her husband where they host a gathering with their friends. Just like any other typical Indian family the women in the family along with the friends' wives work in the kitchen while the men enjoy having convos about the economy while making misogynistic remarks about their wives, being completely ignorant towards their struggles and efforts.  The film conveys a very powerful message about the misogyny that we tend to overlook because we have normalized it so much. The climax of the film is unexpected well at least for everyone in the film it is, but when we actually observe Manju's character in the film, she had already reached a breaking point therefore, her quiet rebellion against the men in the room was like a slap to the face hitting them with realization. The end...
