슬롯사이트˜The Roshans슬롯사이트� Review: Rakesh Roshan, Rajesh Roshan and Hrithik Roshan Play It Safe in This Highlight Reel of Their Legacy, Shah Rukh Khan Steals the Show (LatestLY Exclusive)

The Roshans Review:슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Sigh! So, here we are with yet another docu-series about yet another legacy Bollywood family, showered with unrelenting praise, and no Jaya Bachchan around to bring them down a peg this time. The Roshans is a celebration of the careers of three generations of the Roshan family: starting with the late composer Roshan, then moving on to his sons - actor-filmmaker Rakesh Roshan and composer-lyricist Rajesh Roshan - and finally, to Rakesh Roshan슬롯사이트™s superstar son, Bollywood슬롯사이트™s OG Greek God, Hrithik Roshan.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트˜The Roshans슬롯사이트�: Hrithik Roshan, Rakesh Roshan and Rajesh Roshan Share Untold Stories in Upcoming Netflix Documentary (View Poster).

Directed by Shashi Ranjan, The Roshans is a four-episode series, each focusing on one of the family슬롯사이트™s main figures. It follows the now-familiar format seen in other Bollywood docu-series such as The Romantics (on Yash and Aditya Chopra), Angry Young Men (Salim-Javed), and Nayanthara: Beyond The Fairy Tale. Initially, these shows had a certain novelty, evoking nostalgia even if they didn슬롯사이트™t educate much beyond what a Wikipedia page might. But there슬롯사이트™s something undeniably attractive about seeing stars reminisce about the films you grew up watching and the people who made them.

However, with the formula now overused, the dazzle has dimmed. Beyond the relentless admiration and back-patting, I want a deeper dive - warts and all - into the heart and soul of these stories. That슬롯사이트™s where these shows falter. While Angry Young Men슬롯 머신 사이트 추천still ventured into the darker areas of Salim-Javed슬롯사이트™s career, The Roshans plays it safe. Very safe.

'The Roshans' Review - What to Expect!

The first episode focuses on Hrithik슬롯사이트™s grandfather, the underrated Roshan Nagrath, and his musical legacy. This was my favourite episode because it shed light on a composer who isn슬롯사이트™t discussed as often as Khayyam, Naushad, or Shankar-Jaikishan, despite gems like "Rahen Na Rahen Hum" (Devar), "Jo Wada Kiya Woh Nibhana Padega" (Taj Mahal) and "Na To Karvan Ki Talash Hai" (Barsaat Ki Raat). While not very revelatory, it was still lovely to hear singers and composers discuss his unique style of compositions.

The inclusion of musical luminaries like Asha Bhosle, Sonu Nigam, and Anu Malik felt appropriate for this episode, though actors like Shah Rukh Khan and directors like Sanjay Leela Bhansali also shared thoughts on Roshan슬롯사이트™s songs. Asha Bhosle슬롯사이트™s comment about Roshan being unfairly sidelined during his career was intriguing, but the series frustratingly teased this without delving deeper.

The subsequent episodes focus on the Roshan trio, who cemented the family legacy. We hear about their successes, their struggles before those successes, and... more successes.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천If you슬롯사이트™re a fan of Rakesh Roshan슬롯사이트™s brand of cinema, Hrithik Roshan슬롯사이트™s iconic Bollywood debut, or Rajesh Roshan슬롯사이트™s soulful tunes from the 슬롯사이트�80s or from his brother's movies, you슬롯사이트™ll find moments to enjoy. If not, Shah Rukh Khan nearly steals the show with his engaging anecdotes, doing well to describe why Rakesh Roshan's movies connect with the masses, and he gets substantial screen time across the episodes.

Other notable appearances include Subhash Ghai, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Shatrughan Sinha, Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Ranbir Kapoor, and Tiger Shroff, among others.

'The Roshans' Review - The Hits and The Misses

Unsurprisingly, the series is filled with praise for the family. At times, it feels excessive. For instance, someone claims Rajesh Roshan슬롯사이트™s music set him apart from all his contemporaries슬롯사이트”a statement that feels overstated. While Rajesh Roshan created some beautiful melodies, I wouldn슬롯사이트™t say his work redefined the field. Similarly, Hrithik슬롯사이트™s claim that his father 슬롯사이트œchanged the Indian cinema landscape슬롯사이트� felt hyperbolic, though understandable coming from an admiring son.

There is also a claim from director Siddharth Anand that슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Rakesh Roshan has never had a flop as a director. While this might sound impressive, it슬롯사이트™s not entirely accurate. The series conveniently glosses over his lesser-known failures, such as Kaala Baazaar, King Uncle, and Karobaar. However, it is true that Rakesh Roshan슬롯사이트™s track record with his son Hrithik is impeccable, and his knack for creating mass-appeal films is undeniable. Outlandish themes for Indian audiences, like aliens (Koi Mil Gaya) and superheroes (Krrish, Krrish 3), have somehow resonated under his direction and clicked with the masses, even if some of them haven't aged well.

One area where I wish the series focused more was the action scenes in Rakesh Roshan슬롯사이트™s films. This is where he truly shone as a filmmaker. Even though Koyla didn슬롯사이트™t perform well at the box office, it featured some of Shah Rukh Khan슬롯사이트™s most memorable stunt sequences, such as the scenes where he sets himself on fire or jumps onto a moving train. Similarly, Krrish 3, though not my favourite superhero movie, includes an incredible plane stunt sequence. These moments are mentioned in the series and we see the BTS scenes, but there슬롯사이트™s no real insight into how Rakesh Roshan approached crafting them.

The Roshans emotionally discuss their successes, struggles, and even the dark chapter when Rakesh Roshan became a target of the Mumbai underworld following the success of Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천While I appreciated some intriguing tidbits, like the revelation that Rakesh Roshan슬롯사이트™s inspiration for the emotional scene in Koi Mil Gaya (where Hrithik Roshan슬롯사이트™s character anguishedly talks to a statue of Lord Krishna) came from his own frustrated prayer to God during his struggling acting career, the series doesn슬롯사이트™t dive deep enough.

Also, if you슬롯사이트™re expecting the series to delve into the juicier or more controversial aspects of their lives and careers, you슬롯사이트™ll be disappointed. For instance, Rajesh Roshan never addresses the long-standing plagiarism allegations against him슬롯사이트”yes, the man had the audacity to and even an . I couldn슬롯사이트™t help but chuckle wickedly when Hrithik called his uncle "authentic".슬롯 머신 사이트 추천From Elvis Presley슬롯사이트™s Jailhouse Rock to Celine Dion슬롯사이트™s Titanic Track, 10 Iconic International Hits Bollywood Had the Audacity to Plagiarise!

Similarly, don슬롯사이트™t expect Rakesh Roshan to acknowledge criticisms of how his 1990s films allegedly portrayed actresses in an exploitative manner, or how he himself incorporated ideas from Hollywood movies into his own. Hrithik슬롯사이트™s personal life - including his failed marriage - is also left untouched.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천In fact, see the interviews that the trio are giving to promote the series, and you will find more interesting content there.

The most controversial revelation comes not for the Roshans, but from Rakesh Roshan and Shatrughan Sinha who recount how Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan were allegedly uncooperative during the shoot of Karan Arjun. Even Shah Rukh Khan sheepishly admits to this.

'The Roshans' Review - Final Thoughts

The Roshans슬롯 머신 사이트 추천is a glossy love letter from Netflix to the Roshan legacy, perfect for their fans who want to bask in nostalgia or revisit the family's highlights without questioning the narrative. But for those hoping for a deep dive into the complexities, controversies, or imperfections that shaped their journey, this series offers little more than surface-level admiration.
