Bland mix of several underwhelming ideas
Beyond the world of genres and subgenres, lies stories which are powerful enough to become popular tropes of their own. A group of kids going on adventures, and solving mysteries, is one such trope. We have seen iterations of this in popular media like The Famous Five, The Goonies, and Stranger Things. While trying to follow a popular story structure is nothing to be frowned upon, Prime Video's Snakes and Ladders goes above and beyond to remove even the inherent joys of the stories it aims to emulate.

THE tragic suicide of Additional District Magistrate (ADM) Naveen Babu in Kannur district, allegedly following a public rebuke by district panchayat president PP Divya, has kicked up a huge storm in Kerala.
MASTERCLASS BEYOND METHOD ACTING
A blank screen in a cinema theatre transforms every day, portraying tales of heart-wrenching star-crossed lovers, a goosebump-inducing haunted house, or comedy that leaves one aching all over. Many have written endlessly about the power and magic of cinema, and rightfully so. A movie-going experience is incomparable.

Sai Sudharsan's double ton puts TN in command
TAMIL Nadu opener B Sai Sudharsan's magnificent maiden first-class double century (202 batting) put his team in command against Delhi on the first day of the Ranji Trophy played at the Arun Jaitley stadium on Friday.
Tamil Nadu U19 women crowned T20 champions
TAMIL NADU women beat Uttar Pradesh to win their first-ever U19 T20 title in Lahli on Friday. Opting to field first in a low-scoring thriller, TN bowled out UP for 67 in 19.2 overs with Janlin Chandra taking four wickets for 11 runs. TN got across the line in the penultimate over with four wickets in hand.
Resurrection on Day three
Rohit, Kohli and Sarfaraz hit fifties to keep the hosts in the game against New Zealand
Rachin special in Garden City once again
INDIA had a small window of opportunity in the morning session. To their credit, they had a chance to squeeze through that window after a really good hour's work where they had broken the spine of the visitors' batting unit.
