I recently watched Raman Raghav 2.0 and absolutely loved it. The film is dark, unsettling, and stays with you long after it's over.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is phenomenal as Raman and deserves every bit of praise he gets, but I feel Vicky Kaushal's performance as Raghav is just as worthy of appreciation. Playing a morally conflicted, drug-addicted cop who's constantly battling his own demons couldn't have been easy, yet Vicky made the character feel incredibly real. His acting is subtle, restrained, and emotionally powerful, especially in scenes like this deleted confession.

The chemistry between Nawazuddin and Vicky is one of the film's biggest strengths. Neither tries to outshine the other—they elevate each other's performances.

For me, this is still one of Vicky Kaushal's finest performances and one of the most underrated performances in modern Hindi cinema.

What do you think? Where would you rank this among Vicky Kaushal's best performances, and do you think Raman Raghav 2.0 deserves more recognition today?

I've been rewatching clips of both Shoaib Akhtar and Shane Bond, especially their spells against Brian Lara, and it got me thinking.

Both were genuinely frightening in different ways.

• Shoaib Akhtar brought extreme pace, relentless aggression, and did it over a much longer international career. His ability to consistently bowl above 150 km/h while mixing in brutal bouncers made him one of the most intimidating fast bowlers ever.
• Shane Bond, on the other hand, had a shorter career due to injuries, but when fully fit he was unbelievably complete. He had serious pace, late movement, pinpoint accuracy, and some vicious bouncers that could trouble any batter.

My view is that Bond may have matched (or even exceeded) Akhtar in terms of peak skill and overall bowling quality, but because of his injury-hit career, Akhtar deserves the edge in consistency, longevity, and sustained impact at the highest level.

So who do you think was the more lethal fast bowler overall?

• Better bouncer?
• More intimidating?
• Better at their absolute peak?
• Who would you least want to face?

Interested to hear opinions from people who watched both. Please back your choice with reasons rather than just picking a favorite.

Ever since I first watched Sacred Games, Bunty has remained my favorite character.

What makes him stand out isn't just his attitude or memorable dialogues—it's the way he carries absolute loyalty, confidence, and unpredictability. He isn't the main character, yet every time he appears on screen, he commands your attention.

The scene in this clip perfectly captures that fearless aura. Bunty never tries too hard to look intimidating; he just is. Jatin Sarna's performance made the character feel incredibly authentic, balancing aggression with moments that almost make you sympathize with him despite everything.

For me, Bunty is one of the best-written supporting characters in any Indian web series. He added a unique energy to every scene he was in, and I honestly think Sacred Games wouldn't have been the same without him.

Does anyone else feel Bunty deserves more appreciation? Where would you rank him among the greatest supporting characters in Indian web series?

Watching this compilation reminded me how ridiculously accurate McGrath was. He wasn't the fastest or the biggest swing bowler, yet he kept beating world-class batters with relentless line, length, seam movement, and patience.

Do you think his precision makes him one of the greatest Test bowlers ever?

Where would you rank him alongside Wasim Akram, Dale Steyn, Malcolm Marshall, Curtly Ambrose, Richard Hadlee, and James Anderson?
As i think he is one of the greatest seamer till now also he has record of highest odi world cup wickets.

Interested to hear everyone's rankings and reasoning
