TVF Pitchers: The Term Sheet (2022)
A Rare Hero (edited after second watch)
Honestly, I thought creators will use the money coming in from ZEE5 and not deliver. Especially, considering how difficult it is to write that story. It would've been much easier to not do any research and milk the romanticism around the startup culture.
I think it's groundbreaking how the show kept up with the current pop culture while delivering a hero that many entrepreneurs will look up to. In Bollywood we see heros that are police officers, lover, gang member, etc. Very rarely we see stories of someone real in the current culture. I think Naveen's character is a hero people can look up to and strongly relate to.
The soundtrack and cinematography stands out. I couldn't believe how good the visuals were, especially in the finale. You guys have truly outdone yourselves. However, dialogues were underwhelming. During some scenes, I felt that the actors deserved better dialogues. But also need to give credit to the trio for the brilliant acting. Hoping to see better writing and dialogues in S3, if that ever happens.
Now that I'm entering the workforce myself, I could relate to season 2 even more lol. Don't know if the pitchers reality caught up with the latest indian reality. But it definitely caught up with mine and that's why it meant a lot to me.

You only appreciate your culture once you leave your town
Not an objective review but my feelings towards this movie:
Grew up in Jodhpur around the folk music and the surroundings shown in the movie. I wasn't the biggest fan of the folk music when I used to live in my hometown. Nor was I impressed by the congested and narrow roads of the city. Most of my consumption (entertainment wise) came from the west. Be it literature, music, or movies. I barely cared for my roots.
Now that I have completely shifted away from my hometown, there is very little of my roots left. It's absurd how someone from thousand miles away from your hometown makes you appreciate your roots. Thanks PTA.
