Kaun Pravin Tambe: Disney Plus Hotstar

Kaun Pravin Tambe? is streaming on Disney Plus Hotstar.

Starring Shreyas Talpade in the titular character of Pravin Tambe, the film explores the story of an aspiring cricketer, Pravin Tambe. Though he never got a chance to play in the Ranji Trophy or in the national cricket team, he never gave up and finally made his debut at the age of 41 in the Indian Premier League. Talpade has given a striking performance in the film. But the slow-paced script plays a spoilsport. The film is not entirely unwatchable but it isn’t extraordinary too.

Apple TV+’s six-episode espionage drama features Gary Oldman in the lead role. It is adapted from Mick Herron’s first novel in the “Slow Horses” series. Indianexpress.com’s Rohan Naahar gave the series a 2.5 star rating and wrote in his review, “Even at six episodes—most of which are around 40 minutes long—the show feels like it’s going around in circles, dragging you by the hand along with it. And a lot of it requires massive leaps of logic.”

We know exactly how things will pan out, no strain on the brain. Everything is straight-forward, no complicated characters, no morally ambiguous situations.”
