Remo D'Souza talks fresh talent, grit, and real stories
Realme Hip Hop India is back for a second season on Amazon MX Player, and this time, judge and choreographer Remo D'Souza is all in for something different. After a successful debut season packed with talent, the show returns with a fresh wave of performers—and Remo's expectations have shifted.
'This season, I'm watching out for dancers who bring something new,' Remo shares. 'I want to see them push their limits, take creative risks, and really show how they've grown week after week. Last time, we had some incredibly polished acts. But now, I'm more interested in those who bring their own story to the floor—who aren't afraid to step outside the usual and surprise us. Falling short in the first round is fine; what matters is how they bounce back. That fire to do better—that's what makes someone unforgettable.'
When it comes to performances that stick with him, Remo says it's not just about clean technique. 'For me, a routine needs to have depth. It should connect, carry meaning, and make me feel something. I want to be taken out of the judge's chair and into the moment. If a dancer can do that, they've done more than just perform—they've created an experience.'
With tensions rising and competition heating up, Realme Hip Hop India Season 2 keeps pushing the envelope of what dance can be. New episodes drop every Thursday, streaming free on Amazon MX Player through the Amazon Shopping App, Prime Video, Fire TV, and compatible smart TVs.

‘Motorheads' series review: A flashy ride with unfinished roads
In Ironwood, there are two types of people: those who hit the brakes, and those who hit the gas. That's the ethos at the heart of John A Norris' Motorheads on Prime Video. A teen drama set against the backdrop of a dying town and illegal street racing scene, it sounds like something we have seen before, and to some extent, it is. But there are moments, visually and thematically, where the show edges towards new territories. Norris, best known for his work on All American (2018), swaps football fields for back-alley racetracks, but his usual focus on teenage identity and legacy is still prevalent. The cast, made up of lesser-known faces, does a commendable job with their respective characters. Ryan and Deacon Phillippe bring an earnestness that helps ground the sometimes chaotic narrative. Motorheads (English) Creator: John A. Norris Cast: Ryan Phillipe, Deacon Phillipe, Michael Cimino, Melissa Collazo, Uriah Shelton & Others Episodes: 10 Runtime: 50-55 minutes Storyline: As their town crumbles, a group of teenagers dive into street racing, where high stakes and personal conflicts go full throttle Set in a crumbling suburban town in Pennsylvania, the series follows twins Caitlyn (Melissa Collazo) and Zac Torres (Michael Cimino) who move to Ironwood – a town their parents grew up in. While Caitlyn starts restoring their father's old Dodge Charger, Zac gets roped into the street racing scene that once defined his father's legacy. Just like their father and uncle, the twins seem to carry different pieces of the past: Caitlyn with a sharp instinct for building and mechanics, like her uncle, and Zac stepping into his father's shoes behind the wheel. The subplot of rebuilding the Dodge Charger works well as a metaphor. It mirrors their desire to rebuild a life in a new town, a fractured family and a connection to the past that lingers on in Ironwoods' streets. The show leans into visual duality: parallels between generations, choices made then and now, and between two siblings charting different courses through the same inherited world. In this sense, the cinematic structure is one of the biggest strengths. The sequences and flashbacks are vividly cut and some of the racing visuals – especially the bank heist car rollout – are striking and well-paced. Where Motorheads falters though is in its lack of depth. For all the talk of a 'dying town', there is minimal narrative weight given to its decline or even a comparison factor to emphasise on the fact that it was dying. The town is treated more like a dramatic canvas than a lived-in world. The street racing culture, while glamorised, isn't explored very deeply. There is thrill, yes, but very little sense of community, danger or real subcultural grit. Caitlyn's almost magical ability to outperform seasoned mechanics feels like a narrative shortcut more than a believable character arc. The most jarring plotline may be the sheriff's: an ex-con posing as a lawman 'attempting' to turn his life around while enabling his son's criminal activities. The presence of corruption isn't as jarring, but the lack of interrogation around it is, creating a vague ethical tension. With motorsport slowly revving back into public attention in India due to racing ventures being explored and popular actors like Ajith Kumar returning to racing, shows like Motorheads may find a growing audience. It's not groundbreaking television, but it offers just enough momentum to keep viewers buckled in for the ride. Motorheads is streaming on Prime Video

AllBollywoodCelebscoopHollywoodOriginalsBinge Ground Zero ending explained | Credit: YT Ground Zero ending explained: Emraan Hashmi's Ground Zero recently debuted on Prime Video and has received acclaim for its intense narrative and compelling performances. The film draws inspiration from the courageous story of BSF officer Narendra Nath Dubey, who led a secret mission to take down Ghazi Baba, the key figure behind the 2001 Parliament attack. As the movie builds to its gripping finale, viewers are eager to know how accurately it reflects real-life events. Here's a closer look at how Dubey's operation plays out on screen. Check out the Ground Zero ending explained below. (Spoilers ahead, you know what to do) Ground Zero ending explained The old Indian Parliament building is attacked, resulting in several deaths. Fortunately, the politicians were in the inner chambers and escaped unharmed. Despite this, the incident is viewed as a direct assault on the nation's democracy. With growing public and political pressure, the government is pushed to respond. The Intelligence Bureau (IB) identifies Ghazi as the mastermind behind the attack. A college student named Hussain is revealed to be one of the attackers, and Dubey manages to capture him. Recognizing that the boy is a reluctant pawn in the larger scheme, Dubey decides to use him as an informant. However, when the terrorists discover Hussain's betrayal, they kill him, leaving Dubey burdened with guilt over the young man's fate. How was Ghazi Baba captured? The climax takes place during a high-stakes operation in Srinagar, where Ghazi Baba is hiding in a secure location. Dubey and his team launch an assault, resulting in a fierce shootout. Though Dubey is shot multiple times, he continues the mission with unwavering determination. Despite his injuries, he successfully kills Ghazi Baba, ending the reign of the terrorist behind the 2001 Parliament attack and other major assaults. As the credits roll, the film honours the real-life hero Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, highlighting his gallant service, the Kirti Chakra he received for bravery, and his retirement from the BSF in 2022.

The film gives a platform to the courage, resourcefulness and sacrifice of the soldiers engaged in the fight against terrorism.

'Ground Zero' is now streaming on Prime Video in more than 240 countries around the world, including India.
