However, she adds: “There was nothing scary in it.” Abhinandan comments, “This is no Stranger Things.”Rajyasree and Abhinandan discuss their love for the original Lion King movie and how the new photorealistic remake fails to live up to the original, despite excellent visual elements. What stole the show for Abhinandan was John Oliver’s character Zazu, who he felt was fantastic. Rajyasree adds that the Hindi version’s trailer was “unimpressive”.Up next is Top Gun: Maverick.
