Khauf

2025

Khauf is a reflection of how fear, trauma, and societal control can intertwine to imprison women in both literal and metaphorical cages. Set largely within the confines of a women's hostel in Delhi, the series masterfully mirrors the suffocating domestic spaces many women inhabit across India, where the home—supposed to be a sanctuary—often becomes a site of control and quiet suffering.

Kabir Singh is a celebration of toxicity. A wet dream for all the bullies.
Without delving deeper into its incoherent narrative, and leaving aside the misogynist part, the craft of Kabir Singh is as flawed as the character.
It has so many pointless slow-mos that I wonder if they are competing with Appendix for what's more vestigial.
The terrible editing and convenient switching between the theatrical element and realistic tone help to manufacture the romance.
Unfortunately, the melodramatic development of the romance between Kabir and 'uski bandi' couldn't grow bigger than his anger.
