For the first four seasons of Gullak, the beloved slice-of-life web series, actor Vaibhav Raj Gupta entertained audiences as Anand Mishra aka Annu, the elder son of the Mishra family.

40 producers, 1000 meetings in 2 days: How Screenwriters’ Association is opening doors for outsiders in Bollywood

40 producers, 1000 meetings in 2 days: How Screenwriters’ Association is opening doors for outsiders in Bollywood

Over the last few years, one of the common complaints of viewers – when it comes to Hindi films and shows – is the lack of originality. Where are the writers creating new stories, original content? That is the question people ask when reading about the umpteenth remake or adaptation. The answer is: ‘in development’. As the industry grows more insular and corporate with each passing year, the writers have taken it upon themselves to seek out fresh talent to bring new voices to the table. And through a pitch fest, they are now allowing the best young writers in the country to get a foot inside the door in a guarded Bollywood. 25 writers meet 40 producers over two days in the Pitch Fest organised by the Screenwriters’ Association of India. What is SWA’s script lab all about? The Screenwriters’ Association of India (SWA) began a Script Lab in 2021, which eventually developed into a Pitch Fest, allowing new writers to pitch their ideas and scripts to everyone from Karan Johar and Aditya Chopra’s …

Maamla Legal Hai 2 review: Ravi Kishan show builds on its strengths, with only a few missteps | Web-series News

Maamla Legal Hai 2 review: Our Patparganj-based kisse kachcheri ke are back, and we’re here to tell you that Maamla Legal Hai 2 is all round better– funnier and crisper. It’s tough to do a serio-comic show around legal matters, but Maamla Legal Hai pulled it off with just a few hiccups. This time around, the court com has ironed out the kinks, and except for the odd episode which doesn’t land, it builds on exactly that tone which drew us in the very first time, which allowed us to marvel at the human condition, with all its complexities, anxieties, insecurities, and happy oddities, without getting all heavy about it. The second season starts from where the first left off (with writing credits split between Kunal Aneja, Syed Shadan, Mohak Aneja, and Tatsat Pandey), with our cutting-corners-smart-cookie-vakeel Tyagi finding himself in a judge’s hot seat. He is left wrestling with the kind of dilemmas those worthies have to take in their stride, especially when it comes to that hardest block of all– delivering a hanged-until-death …
