MobLand is a slow-burning, psychologically charged gangster drama that delivers, mostly
The world of crime dramas has never lacked violent spectacle or Shakespearean family dysfunctions—but MobLand, the new British series produced by Guy Ritchie, aims higher. It attempts to fuse gangster violence with psychological nuance, and though not always seamless, the result is a gripping, intelligent series that's willing to sacrifice pace for atmosphere and emotional depth. At its heart, MobLand is less about who pulls the trigger first and more about who's playing the longer, more dangerous mind game. With veteran actors like Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren at the helm and Tom Hardy's scene-stealing intensity at its core, the show dares to ask: What happens when the real warfare is waged not on streets, but in the recesses of the criminal mind? In the first season, after Liam Harrigan (Jack Bannon), the reckless nephew of gun kingpin Conrad Harrigan (Pierce Brosnan), accidentally kills Marcus Stevenson (Daryl McCormack), son of drug lord Richie Stevenson (Geoff Bell), a fragile truce between the two London crime families collapses. As tensions rise, the Harrigans' loyal fixer Harry Da Souza (Tom Hardy) is tasked with containing the fallout, while Conrad's calculating wife Maeve (Helen Mirren) pulls strings behind the scenes, triggering a brutal and complex gang war. The biggest strength of the show lies in its layered storytelling. Ronan Bennett's writing opts for cerebral tension over gratuitous violence, using suspense and subtle power plays to drive the narrative. Each move feels like a chess piece placed with purpose. Pierce Brosnan is terrifyingly good as Conrad Harrigan, playing against his usual suave persona with sneering menace and psychopathic flair. Helen Mirren as Maeve, the Lady Macbeth-esque matriarch, is equally arresting. Together, they command the screen, weaponizing love and power in terrifying ways. But the real star is Tom Hardy. As Harry Da Souza, Tom delivers one of his best performances in years—stoic, unreadable, yet emotionally dense. He's a man with a moral code working in an amoral world, and Hardy plays him with a quiet storm that's always threatening to erupt. Director Guy Ritchie's fingerprints are evident in the sharp cinematography, kinetic editing, and carefully stylized violence. The aerial shots of the English countryside and tonal shifts in lighting—bright in scenes of affluence, darker in grittier moments—are subtle but effective choices that add layers to the storytelling. The show also earns points for refusing to spoon-feed viewers. It demands attention, observation, and patience—traits that reward you with compelling character arcs and devastating plot twists. For all its strengths, MobLand stumbles in its pacing and balance. The first few episodes feel like they're trying too hard to be clever, withholding too much information and slowing the momentum. Viewers looking for immediate gratification may struggle to stay engaged. The emotional subplots—particularly Harry's strained marriage—veer into clichéd territory. The overused trope of the emotionally unavailable male antihero doesn't offer anything new, and the repeated "you're never present" dialogue begins to grate. Some supporting characters, especially those introduced in subplots involving sexuality or past trauma, are written with a heavy hand. Their stories feel like they're inserted more to tick off diversity checkboxes than to organically contribute to the narrative. These arcs lack the nuance and integration that the main story achieves, making them feel forced rather than progressive. Lastly, the season finale—while packed with action—feels rushed and less thoughtful than the slow-burn buildup that preceded it. Cliffhangers work when they're earned, and here, the ending comes across as a desperate grab for a Season 2 rather than a natural crescendo. MobLand is an ambitious, slow-burn crime series that mostly succeeds thanks to stellar performances, sharp writing, and its commitment to psychological depth. While it occasionally stumbles under the weight of its own seriousness and tries too hard to cater to modern sensibilities, the show ultimately delivers a fresh take on the gangster genre. For fans of Ray Donovan, The Sopranos, or even Guy Ritchie's own The Gentlemen, this is a must-watch.

Reevaluating Indian Royalty: Misconceptions in Popular Media
I don't want to talk too much about 'The Royals' . All I will say is that the show is not at all well-researched. The onscreen depiction of royalty in India has been off the mark all the time, and the depiction (of Indian royalty) in popular media continues to be off the mark. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Too much importance is always given to decadent lifestyles and profligacy. It feels as if royal families are living only in the past-that's the kind of general overview that all of them (movies and shows) have. It's as if royals are just squandering away wealth and not doing anything at all. There is nothing covering royalty as it is today. These portrayals are not at all realistic. The west has always been fascinated about Indian royalty-the lifestyle and riches. Unfortunately, that has become the overarching story of royalty. If you look at a show like Downton Abbey , apart from talking about the privileges, it also highlights the challenges of being royalty in today's times. However, the onscreen portrayals of royalty in India only talk about the exploitation of legacy. In reality, a lot of royal family members are going back to their roots and working with communities. This has been a politically motivated narrative right from the time of independence. The 'real' royals are making a difference, including several ladies of the house. There are so many examples. Princess Brijeshwari Kumari Gohil of Bhavnagar is working at the grassroots, doing exemplary work to restore and retain the heritage of Bhavnagar. Princess Vaishnavi Kumari of Kishangarh is playing a key role in reviving art, while Princess Gauravi Kumari of Jaipur is also doing exemplary work with the Princess Diya Kumari Foundation. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Many of them have studied abroad and come back to work at the grassroots. Everyone has a great sense of responsibility and pride for their roots. They are taking care of it because nobody else can do it. We rarely talk about the contribution of royalty. My father, MK Dr Ranjitsinh Jhala (author, conservationist, and former IAS officer), was one of the earliest royal family members to give up a comfortable life and work as a government servant. We only hear about the jewels of Jam Saheb , but nobody talks about the exquisite cricketer that Ranjitsinh ji was, or about his contribution in putting cricket on the map of India, organising cricket camps in Jamnagar etc. Even today, our most prestigious domestic cricket tournament (Ranji Trophy) is named after him. It did not suit the political class to talk about the contribution of royalty, what they did for the people. I am happy that my daughter Padmajaraje has started young and she is doing social work at Shri Maharani Chimnabai Stree Udyogalaya. The narrative of how Indian royalty aligned with the British and exploited the subjects-this has been a very systematic, thought-out narrative, to club colonialism and royalty in one bracket. There's no doubt there were alliances and associations with the British. However, how politics and diplomacy work is complex. If I talk about Baroda, it maintained decorum with the British to run the state without hindrance, even if the royals did not like it at a personal level. One has to understand that the royals were not there just for decorative purposes, they had to run the administration too. We only see what the media has shown us, but people don't understand the complexity of the situation. Also, royal families have never spoken up about themselves. Creating this stereotype about royalty always suited the political class. In reality, states had to engage with the British to run their kingdom. For centuries of royalty, there will be some incompetent, decadent people ('bad royal apples'). But states were run by royals for 400-500 years. To say how a large part of the country was run for hundreds of years and the entire royalty of India was rubbish-that is really overstating it. The perception will change only if history is documented more evenly. It's also up to us (royals) to document our own history because nobody has collated what different states did in their tenure. More awareness needs to be created and it's important for people to put their authentic stories out there. One has to be prepared for backlash too. After my recent post, there was a backlash in the comments section. It's because a particular mindset has been created for so many years about royalty. – As told to Soumitra Das #IndianRoyalty #PopularMedia #TheRoyals #Politics Agree? Disagree?

Priyanka Chopra tries to keep Idris Elba, John Cena alive in final trailer for Heads of State. Watch
It definitely smells like summer, as the biggest stars of the world are coming together for an action-packed adventure in the new film Heads Of State. Featuring John Cena and Idris Elba trying to overcome the challenges that come with holding the highest office in the country, such as people blowing up your plane mid-flight, shooting RPGs at you, surviving the jungle with your contemporary from the other country, and the usual stuff. Priyanka Chopra, who plays a top MI6 agent, meanwhile, tries to keep both 'heads of states' alive and find out the identity of the attackers. The final trailer is cut like a quick montage ad for a delivery and packaging company like DHL, as Priyanka travels through what seems like the entire world to reach Cena and Elba before whoever wants them dead actually succeeds. The writers have written Cena's character in a way that takes inspiration from the trolling he faces in real life as a WWE wrestler and uses it to give an extra layer to him. Elba, on the other hand, seems to be doing what always works for him: witty dialogues, a refined jawline, and seamless action moves, while making it look very British and dignified. ALSO READ: Coldplay's Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson break up for good; she wanted kids, he didn't: report The trailer features Sharlto Copley as a narrator for the events that lead up to the union of our three main characters, as he tries to introduce everyone and his team, who are killed off before he can even finish his sentence. Copley even makes fun of the makers for cutting a trailer that seems to give everything away as he is shot by a sniper through the window. Jack Quaid also joins this team of dysfunctional people as he shoots his way through everything and everyone without a sliver of fear or tension. Idris Elba takes to the dangerous life naturally, while John Cena still believes that everyone loves Americans, a few moments after his big blue American plane was shot down. As Copley pointed out, the trailer seems to give away almost the entire movie; however, the narrative still seems like fun, and if the cast is any indication, fans are in for a good piece of entertainment. The film also features Carla Gugino, Stephen Root, Sarah Niles, Richard Coyle and Paddy Considine. It is helmed by Ilya Naishuller and penned jointly by Josh Appelbaum, André Nemec and Harrison Query. The movie releases on July 2.
