In this week's watchlist, we talk about 1 web series and 3 movies that we saw this week.
We start with the Bengali web-series Rabindranath Ekhane Kokhono Khete Ashenni or REKKA. This web-series is based on a book of the same name by Bangladeshi author Mohammed Nazim Uddin and is directed by Srijit Mukherjee. It stars Azmeri Haque Badhon, Rahul Bose, Anirban Bhattacharya, Anjun Dutt, Anirban Chakraborty and others. It is about a restaurant called REKKA and it's mysterious owner Mushkan Zaveri and how a journalist tries to trace the origins of the owner and uncover a deadly secret about her.
We then talk about the movie Shershaah, available on Amazon Prime, and stars Siddharth Malhotra. It tells the story of Captain Vikram Batra who died during the Kargill War in 1999.
Next we briefly talk about Bhuj, available on Hotstar, and stars Ajay Devgn. It tells the story about a few people defending and reconstructing the Bhuj airbase during the Indo-Pakistan war of 1971. In a sharp contrast to Shershaan, Bhuj is an extremely over the top, hyper-nationalistic movie which is not enjoyable
Finally, we talk about The Suicide Squad directed by James Gunn. It is about another mission where Amanda Waller sends the Task Force X (official name of Suicide Squad) to Corto Maltese to destroy a project run by the dictator of the small island nation.
