Actor Ronit Roy on Sunday shared a cryptic tweet aimed at the people holding powerful and influential positions. The actor feels just sitting and tweeting about burning issues will not help, people having power should come to the ground and work towards resolving it.
MUMBAIâIt was the âWebâ (as in Web Original Series) that enmeshed us in entertainment in 2020âespecially after the lockdown and pandemic began from late March.
Whether shot wholly before the crisis and only post-produced later, or bravely readied in part or whole later, these shows were our stout companions â even as we grew stouter â that did not make us miss the movies and theaters as much as we otherwise would have.
More, we could see all of them at our time and place (convenience) and on our device of choice (phones, laptops, PC, TV, iPads) and they were needed as mood- elevators and stress-busters in those critical times. Binge-watch them or otherwise, these shows were produced on a lavish level, though the recovery on investment modalities are as yet unknown.
