It's so difficult to find people who admit that LotR is a drag to read. Most people pretend as if it's the pinnacle of writing. Good to see some support from Vishal.
Come on man. No sane man would ever think it's the pinnacle of writing! I'd say that Moby Dick or Remembrance of things Past is the pinnacle of writing.
Those who read epic/high fantasy are able to read lotr.. it's not for those who are beginners or only read fantasy like Harry Potter which is set on earth whereas lotr has his own world, language, history, lore... Harry Potter has taken so much inspiration from lotr
Finally, a typical (in a good way) Chalchitra Talks video. Thank you! Now waiting for the OG content where Vaibhav does a solo (non-Short) movie recommendation. I still remember having goosebumps watching Foxcatcher in the early lockdown days, thanks to Vaibhav's praises for Bennett Miller.
When vishal was talking about Lee child and his theme of a man taking bus and dropping any random village, I suddenly remembered I watched a series on same theme and I searched about it and it was jack Reacher which is based on the novel of same name which is written by Lee child which I had no idea until now😮. It's very good series and I was waiting for season 2 which I eventually forgot and remembered now.
Vishal's vibe is so similar to Shreeja Chaturvedi... P.s.- vishal's humor is more relevant and relatable to me and I am not comparing them or saying any is better than other
Thanks for sayin that Tamasha is not that good. I am fed up of people calling it a masterpiece. It was mostly average and it wasn't saying anything which hasn't been said before.
Murakami reminded me of Prajakta Koli AKA Mostlysane. She was the first person I saw talking about and vouching on Murakami. On searching, I found out that you guys have not had her on Chalchitra Talks yet. So it's a suggestion to bring Prajakta on the show because she really has GOOD things to suggest in terms of movies, shows & specially books.
