Life Navrangi/ Maa Neella Tank/ Miya Biwi Aur Murder: Webisoda Weekly OTT Update June #4

Hello and welcome back to another instalment of Webisoda’s weekly updates. We have a lot to cover this week so let us get right to it!

First of all, global news. American supreme court just overturned the abortion rights of women- Roe v/s Wade this weekend. Protests were sparked all over the country over this very controversial conservative move and there is a panic among women in the US concerning their reproductive rights. There are a lot of states which are using their legislative power to oppose these moves and a lot of helplines and big corporations that stand in support of women who want to opt for abortions and reproductive care. But this move does set back the US democracy by around 50 years. This mandate also creates dreaded anticipation for more conservative reforms in the future against same-sex marriage and other LGBTQ+ mandates. For more information on this issue, you can watch documentaries like ‘Reversing Roe’ on Netflix, and the movie ‘Roe V Wade’ on Apple TV.

Now in the world of entertainment, Johnny Depp has just been offered more than 3000 crore rupees in remuneration as part of Disney’s effort to make amends with the actor after they dropped him from the Pirates of the Caribbean series in the advent of his domestic violence lawsuit against Amber Heard. While fans across the world ardently hope that their beloved actor returns to the franchise to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow, Depp did mention in his hearing that he won’t return to the series even if Disney offers him $300 million and a million alpacas! Would you like to see him back as the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow?
