June 17, 2020

It is a grim, dark place in the world right now. People have been staying at home, and yet the coronavirus case tally simply increases day by day. The revolution for equality has begun, regardless of the danger, they’ve put themselves in. The job scenario looks grim, and countries have started opening up, from the fear of the economy shutting down. With so much going on, it is hard to cope with reality sometimes. And it is in those times that we find solace in the entertainment we indulge in.

As they say, laughter is the best medicine. So, it is time to kick your feet up and slide down the couch with your favourite standup show. And we have just the list to get you started. Here are our top ten picks for the best Indian comedians and their standup shows on Netflix and Amazon Prime video right now.

Kanan Gill – Keep It Real

The true mark of a comedian doesn’t come from his ability to crack stereotypical jokes that are either vulgar or controversial. They come from the comedian’s ability to bring the fun out of anything. And that is precisely what Kanan in Keep it Real does. Despite being a standup show released three years ago, Keep It Real feels fresh. The jokes are relatable and funny. And the best part of the show is that it’s a family comedy. No awkward eye glances and moments with your family while watching this show. Just pure fun for everybody watching.

Zakir Khan – Haq Se Single

This comedian feels entirely home-grown. He is it too, but that’s beside the point. Most comedians take entirely impersonal experiences and make them into a rallying position for their best jokes. That is not the case with Zakir Khan. Each of his jokes feels altogether from the heart. Each of them, having a moral to them, or a nostalgic memory attached. The show is a mixture of funny and heart-touching, and it is a delight to watch.

Biswa Kalyan Rath – Biswa Mast Admi

A show by his name, Biswa Mast Admi is a must-watch for all engineering students. Filled with experiences from coaching to college, Biswa’s show is an impersonal yet nostalgic cultural ride. The typical engineering from the IIT’s dropped out for comedy trope, Biswa manages to bring a fresh comedic twist to it too. Despite being released in 2017, I find myself going back to the show, again and again, often to laugh at the same jokes.

Azeem Banatwala – Problems

While the shows until now, carried a common theme, and then followed that thread, Azeen Banatwala takes a departure from that trope. He instead flawlessly swims through topics like religion and democracy to mindless birdwatching and a Salman Khan joke you won’t see coming. Azeem’s jokes flow seamlessly despite the topics’ departure from each other. In a time when comedian’s jokes were meant to be funny, not thought-provoking, Azeem manages to achieve them both without sacrificing on the other. Now on Primevideo, Problems in a must-watch.

Kanan Gill and Kenny Sebastian – Sketchy Behavior

A departure from the usual standup routines, Sketchy Behavior is, obvious from the name, a sketch comedy show. By the enigmatic Kenny Sebastian and hilarious Kanan Gill, Sketchy Behavior is one of the best sketch comedy shows on Primevideo right now. The show comprises of 12 sketches, following a common theme: the continuity of a series. The show begins with both comedians in a comedy show, trying to ‘end’ it. However, they realize that the only way they can get out of the show is by bringing a good conclusion to all their sketches. And that’s how the show proceeds. Witty and entertaining, Sketchy behaviour has jokes and plot twists in equal measures.

Assorted Comedians – Comicstaan 1 and 2

We have seen the same slew of comedians for too long. Now comes the time for a new generation of comedians. And to give them a helping hand, is the entire crew of the original comedians. Funny, and ingenious, the reality show explores the different genres of comedy and gives a more in depth look at each style and it’s mastery. The comedians are then judged by the same mentors, at the end of each week which, one is eliminated.

Rohan Joshi – Wake ‘N’ Bake

One of the best comedy shows on Primevideo till date, Wake ‘N’ Bake is part of the new genre of comedy. Despite having pretty strong opinions about the government, which you would know if you follow the comedian’s Instagram, his standup special doesn’t focus on that. His comedy style seems to hover more on the introspective side, and at the end, we not only enjoy ourselves, we learn something new. And we also agree with legalizing mariguana. Rohan is pretty good at convincing.

Vir Das – Vir Das For India

Vir Das’s shows have always followed a singular theme – they’ve mostly been about India. While some have been comparisons, others have been about common experiences. I would arguably call Vir Das For India is one of the best standup comedy shows to come out this year (2019-2020). The introspective look into our country, providing both an outside looking in and an insider looking in experience was applause-worthy. The comedian manages to make each show different and seems to be flying higher with each show of his. My favourite touch was the lightings of the show.

Kenny Sebastian – The Most Interesting Guy In The Room

Not his best, yet wonderful, Kenny’s latest standup show is an hour of introspection into the mundane life we lead. From the chappals and shoes to the personalities of different heights in college, Kenny has jokes for them all. The show is then neatly tied with a neat bow and a musical number by the maestro himself. Oh, and if you like his music, you would be pleased to know that he burst out both his harmonium and guitar once again.

Sumukhi Suresh – Don’t Tell Amma

A different take on the life of a kid, the comedian tells the story of a girl from a small town, unlike all the others. Hilarious and enthralling, Sumukhi seems to have taken a departure from her usually riveting and dark shows to do something more light. And we promise not to tell anything to your mom Sumukhi. But considering how the show blew up due to the sheer awesomeness of it, we presume she already knows.

Police Brutality: It’s Time to Look At Our Own Country.

George Floyd, a black man from Minneapolis, U.S, died at the hands of American police officers. He was killed as he supposedly paid a shop owner with a counterfeit bill. The shopowner’s assistant had called 911, over the suspicion of being paid with a counterfeit bill. Four police officers, led by Derek Chauvin first responded to the scene. Upon encountering George, the first thing the police officers did was not to question him. They instead handcuffed him and dragged him to their police car.

Surveillance footage around the shop showed no signs of aggression or resistance from George Floyd throughout the scene. Despite this, within minutes, George Floyd was seen on the ground, with a police officer’s knee on his neck. The officer, Derek Chauvin, held his knee right on Floyd’s windpipe, choking him. He kept pleading that he couldn’t breathe. This was all while onlookers shouted and asked with him to let Floyd go. The entire crime was on video and after inaction by the government has led to nationwide protests.

The scene in America right now is not of a revolution, but solely of a protest beginning. The world has seen many such protests, such movements. Peaceful demonstrations, riots, strikes give birth to a revolution. The people of America shall not go back till unjust police receive the justice they deserve. And while we support their movement, and their solidarity, it is time we had a glance into our own country.

India: Not a Stranger to Police Brutality.

In its history, India has never been a stranger to it. In its pre-independence era, we saw it in its most terrifying form. The police then was a disciplinarian body for the British. The Jallianwala Bagh massacre, though now considered the darkest moments in colonial history, was also an act of police brutality. However, this didn’t seem to change with India’s independence. The police have always been the authority of the powerful over the masses. In 1966, Pravir Chandra Bhanj Deo, the first Oriya ruler, was killed by the police, along with others.

You could say that India has had its fair share of police brutality to experience. And yet, unlike the U.S, India refuses to show solidarity against the Indian Police Force? What influences people to acknowledge the police as a superior force? Does this passivity mean that we shall never be able to hold police accountable for their heinous actions?

History Repeats Itself: The Policing Ideology Is The Same Everywhere.

When looked at closely, USA’s Black Lives Matter Movement and India’s Anti-CAA protests do not have much in common. One protested the death of an individual and the recurring act of police brutality. The other opposed a bill of the government. Yet, it is often in these situations that we must remind ourselves. We have more scope of catching prey when looked at from a bird’s eye view. The movements necessarily were for the same cause, protection of human rights of a specific section or class of people. They saw massive turnouts of youth for peaceful and riotous protests. However, the one thing they both noted was the absolute power wielded in the hands of the police. In both situations, police had free reign to treat the youth as hostile parties.

2019 saw the proposal of the Citizenship Amendment Act in the Lower House of the Parliament. The bill sought to revoke the rights of citizens who had no ancestry to the country of India. This included students from the ages twenty and then above. While this bill came into the Lower House, the government did face a lot of flak. However, all hell seemed to break loose when the NRC bill released itself in quick succession. Singularly, both bills appeared to have good intentions. However, the implications of both of them together seemed to target the Muslim community of the country.

The Jamia-Milia Islamia Attack (2019)

Due to the central government’s pre-existing bias against the Muslim community, this seemed to people as an act of discrimination. And youth and adults all across the country got onto the streets to protest the bills, citing them unconstitutional.

While this was cruel to the community, the final blow came with the excessive force used by police officers. It was mainly in the Jamia Milia Islamia Attack. The police at Jamia Milia Islamia attacked both peaceful protestors and students who were not protesting, using excessive force. The confrontation took place on the 15^th of December, where police forcefully detained thousands of peaceful demonstrators. Police beat them with batons and tear gas mercilessly. The actions prompted countrywide protests from universities, political and celebrity figures alike.

Why Does No One Bat An Eye?

The incident at Jamia Milia Islamia was but one in a series of police brutality crimes against the general public. However, there was no action. There have been no further checks on the police force and their reasons for using excessive force. The Vice-chancellor of the university claims to have filed an FIR against the Delhi Police. However, nothing as such has happened yet. And yet, after the two weeks of initial outrage, we noticed that everything went back to supposed normalcy. Why?

brutality during press conference and protest — Image Source

This de-escalation originates from the ingrained mentality of the Indian population. Due to constant indoctrination, through movies, TV shows, the country believes that the police force can do no wrong. The police are an institution to protect our citizens. However, the recent polarization of the country has changed things. And as we see in Bollywood movies, the police beating up a person who is ‘bad’ is ‘cool’. In a society that has been witness to such brutality for over three decades now, it is normal for us to show no reaction.

Make A Change To The Power The Police Wields.

Any authority, when left unchecked, can get out of control. It stays true, especially to institutions that have a higher amount of power than wielded by the general population. It is our duty as the citizens of the country to take back the control in our hands. Sign petitions, donate funds and resources to disadvantaged communities. Speak out against police brutality. Ask questions and educate yourselves. Despite it being a community with bias, we have the power to change how the police treats us.

And just as in the US, if you are on the safer side of the revolution, understand your privilege. Protect your brothers and sisters that face the threat of police brutality daily.

After Nairobi Who’s Next?

The series ended on a cliffhanger in which Alicia is holding a gun opposite to an unarmed professor. This raises many questions. Will the team be able to finish the heist successfully? Will the professor be alive to carry out the heist? However, every fan wants to watch the end on a good note, but after Nairobi’s death, it is difficult to predict who’s next.

According to the fan theories, it is predicted that the death of Arturo Roman, the trouble maker’s death is very much possible. Since after he roofed and raped Amanda, no one wants to tolerate him anymore. If season will wrap the series of Money Heist, then the death of the professor is most certain.

Money Heist Season 5: Release Date

When asked from Alex Pina about the fifth season of Money Heist, he said, “Someone knows there will be, but we don’t.” However, we all know after the insane following of the fourth season, the fifth season is definitely on the cards. Moreover, Director Jesús Colmenar told Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia that “there is going to be a fifth.”

We don’t have any official dates of the fifth season yet, but if we were to follow the pattern of previous releases, which maintained nine-month gaps between each release. We can say to watch the fifth season of much-awaited heist by the end of 2020. Although we can expect the showrunners to push the release date forward due to ongoing pandemic situations, As Netflix has suspended all the original projects till the situation gets normal.

Alex Pina Never Wanted To Remove Berlin

Alex Pina has recently revealed in his documentary Money Heist- The Phenomenon that he really had no intention to remove Berlin from Money Heist. He is entirely different from other characters. Having traits of narcissism, misogynist, and psychopath made him unique and attractive, but he was certainly not a character you marry your daughter with. So he had to remove him because people weren’t able to understand him profoundly, but what could be better than ending his role on a positive note, he added

The fridge is empty, what would you expect? Some weird combinations, that’s what. Have you ever had a craving to mix some chicken rice with tomato ketchup? Do not worry, everyone does at least once. The tongue has the ability to distinguish between almost seventeen thousand tastes, and it is obvious that all of have an affinity for some weird ones. There are primarily five tastes that the tongue can distinguish between, but our palates have evolved to incorporate more diverse tastes too.

We have bitter, salty, sweet, spicy and sour. And it are combinations of these that give birth to the best and the worst combinations of food that we have. While they may be distasteful to some, we have to admit, some upon trying out do attend on the better side of the list. And with them being consumed at the middle of the night, the midnight hunger pang adds a little something to the list.

Ketchup and Pizza

While there are some who vehemently despise the thought of ketchup on pizza, there are yet more who don’t. It does sound like an abomination; the pizza is a dish that shouldn’t be desecrated by anything. However, the added tomato seasoning from the ketchup simply adds to the flavor of this weird food combination and is a must try.

Coca-cola and Red Wine

There is always something about sparkling drinks that has simply added to their allure. The simple iconic taste of coca-cola is unique in itself, with its saccharinely sweet flavor. The soda on decompression though is merely sugar syrup and should definitely avoided as such. But upon mixing the soda and the famous red wine, we found that the flavor created was truly other-worldly. The wine retains its feel, warm and mild, with the essence of pressed grapes in them. However along with that, the coca-cola incorporates a port-wine type of mouth feel, with the added excitement of the soda. A splendidly weird food combination awaits.

Cream Cheese and Olive sandwich

Who doesn’t like anything with cream cheese on it? Doritos? Make a cream cheese dip. Pickles? Cream cheese it is. The true weird food combination is having cream cheese as it is in one sitting. With its salty yet sweet ambiguity, cream cheese provides for a wonderful accompaniment with most foods. And they are the perfect filling with olives in an olive sandwich. Olives have an inherently oily and salty taste which is only best complemented by cream cheese’s soft, cheesy and sweet flavor. And cheese in all forms is always a yes, so cream cheese and olive sandwich it is!

Grilled Pineapple and Tabasco Sauce

The perfect combination of tastes is extreme sweet with the tang of sour and spice. And what better way to taste that then grilled pineapple and Tabasco sauce. The smoky and sweet flavor of the pineapple wonderfully mixes into the sharp spice of the tobacco sauce. Grilled pineapple would also go well with a dash of pepper, maybe some mint juice extract on it. The sourness of the pineapple gets diluted with the grilling but it still complements and counters any spice, preventing any one taste from getting too overpowering. This weird food combination is perhaps not as weird as we think it is.

Cheddar Cheese and Apple Pie

The one upside to pies are that you can control the sugar that goes into pies. Half as sugar needed and double the nutrition, pies are the best desserts to have. And the best and most conventional dessert to enjoy is the apple pie. With a crunchy crust and soft, gooey apple centre filling, an apple pie can be eaten at anytime, and anywhere. And the taste is only amplified when eaten with items that complement these flavours. With the firm and steady flavor of cheddar making a base for the sweetness of the apple and cinnamon of the pie, this is a must try. To make this weird food combination even more delectable, you could pour melted cheddar cheese on the finished apple pie.

Doritos and Mac ‘n’ Cheese

Everything goes with Doritos. Doritos with anything is not really a weird food combination but we have yet to see everyone adopting them. With their tang and crunch, Doritos are chips that are asking to be toppings everywhere. Just like Popeye’s made the cheetos chicken burger, the Doritos and mac and cheese are a comfort food like no other. Mac and cheese is a very, basic comfort food. The gooeyness of the cheese, and the softness of the macaroni, is elixir to the mouth. But to add to this, we need a bit of flavor; only salt and pepper won’t do it. This is where the tang and spice of the Doritos comes in.

Apple Juice and Goldfish

Chances are, if you are not from the United States of America, you may not ever had the pleasure of eating a goldfish. Goldfish are gold, light saltine crackers shaped in small fish-like shapes. They are crunchy and once you start eating them, you can’t stop. But it is quite pleasurable to break the monotonous crunch with some soft, sweet and saltine crackers.

Peanut Butter and Goat Cheese

Cheese, cheese, cheese. Cheese when eaten from organic sources, that don’t process them excessively, is very nutritious. With proteins, fats, calcium and carbohydrates, cheese is actually a staple to a diet. However, it should be consumed in moderation. Peanut butter and healthy goat cheese is one weird food combination that you shouldn’t miss out on. Take a pair of graham crackers, stuff it with goat cheese and peanut butter, and heat it for a bit. The delicacy obtained is equal parts crunchy, soft, filling, salty and sweet. Peanut butter and goat cheese are the perfect midnight snack; not exactly unhealthy, but good enough to indulge on.

Chocolate and Chips

If you have never had chocolate and chips, you may probably be gagging at the combination. But this weird food combination, do not knock it till you try it. While the chips are salty and crunchy, the chocolate is well, chocolate. The plain salt chips seem to go best in this combo and a better idea would be to dip your chip in the chocolate and store it in the freezer till it becomes firm. The truffle that ensues is not only easy to eat, but is decandent in texture and taste alike.

Banana and Bacon

This last one is one for the non vegetarians of the friend group. While bacon goes with everything, waffles, fries, burgers, eggs and omelets, one of the best and weirdest go to’s is with banana. The banana is soft, and easy to munch on, whereas the bacon is both juicy and full of flavor. The flavor of the bacon bursts in your mouth and the banana manages to mold it into the taste and texture of the banana. This weird food combination is also a good meal to grab and go on work days.

We hope you enjoyed our top ten tally for the best and weirdest food combinations from all around the world. Let us know if there are any other weird food combinations you have enjoyed more in the comments below.

Everything you need to know about Korean Barbecue

Korean bbq (Barbecue) is a popular method of grilling meat such as beef, chicken, or pork, which is typical of Korean cuisine. These dishes are grilled either on gas or charcoal grills that are built into the dining table itself. They can also be grilled on portable stoves that can be used at the table. Alternatively, a central display grill is also often used by the chef to prepare dishes.

Everything you need to know about Korean Barbecue

A classic Korean barbecue combines some typical components, such as banchan and bulgogi. It also includes accompaniments and refreshments that are served along with them. Korean food is meant to be a collective experience. This means that it is supposed to be enjoyed together as a community. Even non-Korean communities are now starting to enjoy this delightful cuisine.

The components of Korean Barbecue

So whether you plan to just go out to enjoy some good Korean bbq, or you want to host an entire feast at your place, make sure you are aware of these important components.

The meat in Korean bbq

Though there are quite a few vegetarian options available too, meat is the real show stopper in Korean bbq. The chargrilled meat and the rendered fat are the classic components of a good Korean barbecue. In fact, all other components are meant to revolve around this primary central ingredient. The most commonly used meats are beef and pork. The meat could either be marinated before cooking. Or you could just season and grill the meat.

Beef: Galbi and Bulgogi

Galbi are short ribs. Ulgogi is usually made up of thinly sliced ribeye or brisket. Both of these rely on a savory-sweet sauce for their marinade. The marinade also includes Asian pears, brown sugar, sesame oil, and mirin.

Pork: Dwaeiji Bulgogi

The marinade that is used for this is much more intense and overpowering. The final dish is also paired with much fancier accompaniments.

Chicken: Buldak

For those who do not prefer pork or red meat, chicken is a good option. Just like pork, chicken is centered around a spicy-sweet sauce. As the chicken cooks, the sugars in the marinade caramelize, giving the chicken a beautiful charred look and taste.

The Sauce: Ssamjang in Korean Barbecue

Irrespective of the meat that you choose, the sauce is a must to spread on your prepared food. SSamjang is a no-cook sauce, that just involves stirring together different ingredients. Traditional ingredients include soybean paste and chili paste. It also includes sesame oil, sesame seeds, fresh garlic, and scallions.

In English, SSamjang translates to ‘wrapped thick sauce’. It is basically spread on lettuce and perilla leaves. These leaves are then wrapped around the pieces of grilled meat. The quantity of the sauce to be used depends on the meat that you are using. Beef being subtle in flavor can take more amounts as compared to others.

Lettuces and Perilla Leaves: The Ssam

Lettuce and perilla leaves are used to wrap the meat parcels. Perilla leaves are quite common in Korean markets and are sold as sesame leaves. The grassy flavor of these leaves adds an excellent dimension to the grilled beef and pork.

When it comes to lettuce, leafy varieties like red leaf are common in Korean barbecue.

The leaves need to be flexible enough to be able to wrap items, but also need to be large and sturdy enough to not tear. Thus, lettuce like romaine, which snaps easily, should be avoided. Other than acting as agents that help to wrap the meat, these leaves also add a refreshing taste to the dish. Take all care to ensure that the leaves stay bright and fresh, and don’t wither away.

Garnishes

Finishing garnishes are a must in any Korean Barbecue. These are sprinkled on the bites of food before consuming them. These include scallions, sliced garlic, and fresh green chilies, served with some toasted sesame seeds.

The side dishes: Banchan served in Korean Barbecue

A spread of side dishes completes the Korean barbecue. The term ‘Banchan’ basically refers to all the small side dishes that are served along with the main barbecue meal. These side dishes help to stave away the palate fatigue that occurs after consuming all the meat. These include pickled, fermented vegetables; such as kimchi. Marinated greens like spinach are also common. Rolled omelets and stir-fried anchovies are also important side dishes.

Rice

Rice is a crucial part of Korean meals. However, when it comes to Korean barbecue, rice is more of a supporting dish. It is the meat that takes the limelight.

**Beverages: Beer, Soju, Makgeolli, or Wine, served along with Korean Barbecue**

Plenty of beverages are needed alongside the main meal. Moreover, Korean food will leave you feeling really thirsty and salivating. Thus, refreshments are unavoidable. Remember that drinking is also a collective activity in Korea. Thus, people pour out drinks for each other and not for themselves. It is customary to receive drinks with both hands and to drink shots as a group.

However, try and keep drinking on the lighter side. Soju and makgeolli, both milky wines made from water, rice, and the fermentation starter nuruk, are common refreshments.

Preparing your own Korean bbq

Korean Barbecue is a celebration of fire. If you plan to host your own barbecue lunch, make sure you get lots of meat and also a lot of chili! And even if you don’t have an indoor grill, it is not a problem. You can use your outdoor grill to cook your delicious barbecue. Make sure to prep and marinade your meat well. The extra effort that you do will go a long way in making your meal a delicious one. Also pay close attention to your meat, flipping it only once when it is halfway done.

Eve Teasing

Eve teasing refers to sexual harassment and molestation to women by men in particular. Traditionally, people often blame women for eve teasing incidents because they provoke male by wearing scanty clothes. That is actually a whimsical excuse. Even if females wear modern dresses it does not give men license to harass women. Increasing number of eve teasing in urban places in India compelled the local authorities to take a serious look into the problem. The growing instances of the murders and of women for rejecting the love of the man had rocked the nation and now the serious thought is given on the reasons for these crimes. Sometimes this eve teasing leads to drastic ends like rape and death of the victim.

I think that Indian cinema is in some way responsible for these because in movies we see end number of instances where men in jeeps follow girls, and when girls crossed the road panicking, they make U-turns to come nearer, and this is where the molestation happens. and this is just one particular which I am describing. i am not criticizing the cinema for showing such scenes, but it would have been motivational to end such scenes with the victims standing up for themselves.

According to Indian cinema girls are shown to be agreeable to teasing by not accepting it as their fate. Films will only influence only those who are susceptible. But television cannot be entirely blamed for the increasing violence in society. Not just Indian, but numerous women face such problems on daily basis.

It has become a mundane part of their lives with the feeling of insecurity and horror at crucial hours. Often girls go out alone for works or some other purpose. But teasers are always in this chance to take due advantage of the situation. So as far as possible either stay in group or have some elder male with you, this is what many would suggest you! You feel safe in groups as being an individual girl you become an easy target of molesters.

Harassment, corruption, humiliation all these have now become a common part of modern society in this 21st century. We often hear about molestation or being raped and killed a young girl or a women by the men who go wild in the public.

Every girl faces molestation either by hearing derogatory comments on them, sexually harassed, eve teased and what not!

We keep hearing about the Delhi gang rape incident where the young girl got raped brutally in a moving bus and nobody in spite of seeing her injured on the road tried to help. This shows that humanity has lost some of its existence in today’s time. Eve teasing occurs every day in every corner of the world and has now become a trend among indecent people. Women have always faced this because they are being always thought of as lacking physical power. But it’s time to take some action and set up a standard of being powerful women in the society and stop the inhuman acts. We have heard about number of cases where a person who tries to take a step against molestation himself gets in danger. Either he is brutally hit or gets killed.

In such situations, it gets difficulty for a woman to help herself in between the beasts. Thus, it should be necessary for every girl to have some training of self defence to protect herself. It even provides you the strength and courage to protect other women in danger. Engage yourself in some taekwondo, judo or karate training. In this way you will also be able to save not only yours but other girls life as well which will even teach those beast the lesson of their life. Carrying small safety tools with you not only makes you feel safe but will even help to avoid any kind of harassing situation. Whenever you feel that somebody is trying to touch you or unnecessarily trying to get close to you just take out the bottle and spray it in his eyes and showing the knife can make the people around you aware of the situation and can come for your help. Such kinds of techniques act as a part of self defence and which will not only make the teasers learn a lesson but will also give some strength to the other girls for future of how they can protect themselves and fight against the harassers.

One of the solutions of eve teasing, I think, is to expose such people. They might feel uncomfortable and guilty, once they are exposed in public. We should not be ignorant to such occurrences.

Who doesn’t love romantic-comedies? Cheesy, sweet and with the perfect dash of cringe, rom-coms are the ideal way to occupy your time in this limbo. Not one to put a damper on your feels, romantic comedies only leave you happy. A welcome distraction from this quarantine, we have made a compilation of the best romantic comedies for you to binge-watch this quarantine season. We shall be rating them based on cry value, cheese factor and our very own nonsense meter. These romantic comedies are your common run-of-the-mill ones, no. They’re no ‘ To all the boys I loved’ or ‘The Perfect Date.” But they are pretty perfect in their way.

5. Sleeping with other people.

Sleeping with other people rom-com — Image Source

A common theme in a lot of rom-com movies is when the protagonist is rudely dumped and has to find her purpose in life and in the world. In due process, she finds someone who makes her feel way better than the last person did and voila! They live happily ever after. Well, the case with Sleeping with other people isn’t so. Aptly described on the motion poster, Sleeping with other people is a romantic comedy with commitment issues.

The main characters Lainey and Jake, are serial-daters and never settle down. After realizing that it has become an actual problem, they both, separately, of course, attend a support group for ‘their’ type of people. What follows is a romantic comedy of errors, which of course ends in a happy ending, as all rom-coms do. Sleeping with other people is a fresh and fun approach to two people in love and their romantic hang-ups.

Cry Value – We’d rate Sleeping with other people 2.5/5 because the only kind of cries it does give us are cries of laughter.

Cheese factor – Sleeping with other people is a 3/5 on the cheese factor, especially with all the mousetraps in the movie. (That’s an inside joke you’ll know on seeing the movie.)

Nonsense meter – We give the movie a 3/5 for its nonsensical twists and turns, often leaving us frustrated for the final climax of the film.

4. Isn’t it Romantic.

Isn't it Romantic rom-com — Image Source

Isn’t it romantic is very much a meta-movie. It is also a rom-com and that is hard to believe. In its attempts to break open the fourth wall, it smashes it, shatters it and leaves us a little stunned. The movie is about the story of a girl Natalie, played by the charming and energetic Rebel Wilson. Natalie has hated romantic comedies for as long as she can remember. She believes that none of what happens in them would ever work out in real life.

Following her conversations with a co-worker and best friend about the same, she finds herself in a subway mugging. In the mugging, she conks her head and falls unconscious. However, she doesn’t wake up in the same world. She ends up waking to a perfect world. A world full of daisies and roses, and insanely attractive men who seem to fall for her, she ends up realizing that she is in a PG-13 romantic comedy. The rest of the movie follows her attempts to get out of the film and to learn to love herself.

Cry Value – We’d give Isn’t it Romantic a 1/5 on the cry scale, because other than Rebel Wilson embracing herself, talking to the audience about self-love, there is nothing much to cry about.

Cheese factor – Isn’t It Romantic is a double-baked lasagna of cheesiness, from the beginning to the end and hence scores a 4.5/5 on the cheese factor.

Nonsense factor – The story follows the premise of a cliché romantic comedy and makes fun of it. So it ranks high on the nonsense. We give Isn’t It romantic a 3.5/5 on the nonsense factor.

Also Read Half Of It – A Breath Of Fresh Air In A Sea Of Cringy Rom-Coms.

3. Always be my Maybe.

Always be my maybe rom-com — Image Source

This movie has Keanu Reeves in it. And it is a rom-com. That is all I’d like to say. I’m kidding. This movie also has Ali Wong. More of a comedy than a romantic film, it’s nice to see a movie other than Crazy Rich Asians which represents Asian Americans. I could go off on a tirade about minority representation in films like these, but what we need to talk about is how the movie is wholly woman-centric. Ali Wong is dynamic, and the whole film is a delight to watch. Ali Wong and Randall Park have a chemistry that isn’t sizzling but does have this lightness that you carry with you even after the movie.

Cry Value – Always be my Maybe does make you shed a few tears of joy in the end. We’d give it a 3/5.

Cheese factor – All we’d like to say is – highschool sweethearts to lovers. 4/5.

Nonsense factor – The entire Keanu Reeves scene is filled with nonsense that leaves you laughing maniacally. 4/5.

2. P.S. I Love You.

P.S. I love you is one cry-worthy film. Not exactly the com part in a rom-com. I shall briefly describe the plot to you, and I’m sure you shall be bawling your eyes out at the end of it. Holly and Gerry are married, and very much in love, despite their many arguments and fights. One night, Gerry dies of a brain tumour, leaving Holly a widow. The grief starts to make Holly spiral when on her 30^th birthday, she is given a letter by her family. The letter was written by Gerry, in preparation for his death from cancer. It turns out that this is not just one letter. Gerry has written a series of notes for Holly, each ending with a ‘P.S: I love you’. The story captures the moments of grief perfectly and chronicles Holly’s growth from her pain to an independent woman who’s finally moving on.

Cry Value – This movie has all the feels. And by all, we mean ALL. If I could give it a six I would. But for propriety’s sake, I’m going to give it a 5/5.

Cheese factor – While the movie goes for a very sombre note, it is still a chick flick and has its moments of cheese in it. We give the movie a 2/5 in terms of the cheese factor.

Nonsense factor – Sadly, P.S: I love you has so much realism it has barely any time for nonsensical scenes. 1/5.

1.Mamma Mia.

The greatest of the greatest romantic comedies is right here. Mamma Mia is all you could ever desire from the rom-com genre. From a beautiful greek island, to the marvelous Meryl Streep, Mamma Mia leaves you with the phrase, “This is what romantic comedy is all about.” Meryl Streep is a single mom on a Greek island far, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Her daughter’s now of age and is finally marrying the love of her life in a small but intimate ceremony.

However before she does so, she has one wish. To have her father escort her down the aisle. The problem is, however, that nobody knows who the father is. When they ask Meryl, she says, “I’m not sure either! It could be one of those three men I met on the island.” Her daughter writes three letters to her potential fathers, inviting them for the wedding. What follows is a series of fun, cheesy and cute film filled with the iconic ABBA’s songs.

Cry Value – This movie is not for crying. Full of smiles and songs, we give Mamma Mia 0/5 on the Cry Value meter.

Cheese Factor – The movie oozes with cheesy goodness in every scene, with comical twists and turns sprinkled in between. We give Mamma Mia a 5/5 for the cheese factor.

Nonsense factor – This movie is probably as nonsensical as it gets. We give it a 4.5/5 for its nonsense factor.

That was our list for the five romantic comedies you could binge-watch this weekend. Let us know if you have any other suggestions in the comments below.
