Jewel ThiefWelcome back!In this episode of Suno Bollywood, I’m chatting about The Jewel Thief , a heist movie that could have been great, but kinda ended up being all sparkle and no substance. It stars Saif Ali Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Kunal Kapoor and Nikita Dutta… but let’s just say the script didn’t do any of them justice.I also share a funny little Budapest story and my thoughts on the songs, the sets, and why this movie felt like a missed opportunity. If you’re into Bollywood, crime flicks, or just love a good honest rant—this one’s for you!Show notes:1. Title Track2. Jaadu3. Ilzaam4. Villain BGM

Chithha (GUEST EP)
Chithha Welcome back! In this emotional and thought-provoking episode of Suno Bollywood, I’m joined by a special guest Sai, also known as Kollywood Kuruvi, to discuss the 2023 Tamil crime drama Chithha. Chithha explores the tender bond between a caring uncle and his young niece, and how their lives unravel when she goes missing. We reflect on the film’s powerful message about safety, trust, and the uncomfortable realities of a society where predators often move freely. Without giving too much away, we also talk about the unsettling portrayal of the antagonist, the emotional weight of the storyline, and the film’s brilliant effective music. We talk about why Nimisha’s character stood out, and how Chithha critiques not just abuse, but also the well-meaning yet sometimes misguided responses to it.Tune in to hear our full thoughts and reactions to one of the most powerful Tamil films in recent years.Check out and follow Sai Sasee / Kollywood Kuruvi on:YouTube: Sai SaseeInstagram: @saisasee_TikTok: @saisaseeShow notes:1.

CU Soon
CU SoonWelcome back! In this episode of Suno Bollywood, I dive into the innovative Malayalam thriller C U Soon, starring Fahadh Faasil, Roshan Mathew, and Darshana. This film is uniquely told entirely through computer screens, utilising online chats, video calls, emails, and surveillance footage to tell a suspenseful and emotionally layered story. Shot entirely on an iPhone during the pandemic, C U Soon pushes the boundaries of conventional filmmaking with its creative format and deeply relevant themes. I share my thoughts on how authentically the film captures our digital communication styles and how it immerses us into a world we all recognise—our online lives. While the storytelling method is engaging and the performances are top-notch, I also reflect on my mixed feelings about the film’s ending. Tune in for my full take on this unconventional thriller and find out why I think it’s still worth a watch. Don’t forget to listen to the trailer if you're new here!

Set in a fictional royal universe filled with scandal, luxury, and ambition, this show attempts to blend palace intrigue with startup culture.Join me as I unpack the show’s unique concept of a Royal B&B, where business meets royal blood — and why this idea doesn’t entirely hold up. I also share thoughts on Ishaan Khatter’s surprising performance, Bhumi Pednekar’s annoying presence (and wardrobe!), and whether the styling and visuals can make up for inconsistent writing and underdeveloped characters.From confusing character arcs to fashion highs and dance sequence lows, I cover the glam, the glitches, and the moments that made me go huh?Show notes:1.
