Review of Apaharan 2.0- Sabka Katega Dobara

Image
 Ekta and Shobha Kapoor directed Apharan was excellent thriller and sequel is released on voot platform. In season 2, RAW is planning to kidnapped VKS- a gangster in Serbia as an undercover operation. For that reason they took the help of Rudra as an agent. Story line is roller costar and nicely written considering no any touch with reality. Direction and set selection is not at all good even so editing part is somewhat OK. Acting is upto the mark. Some of the shots are copy paste from the old one. I am giving 7 out of 10 rating with one time watch if you already watched Apharan season 1. Note that so many bad words in the season and not at all advisable to watch with family.

Review of Rudra

Image
Ajay Devgan casted Rudra is thriller violent series. Intelligent group cracking the cases of serial killers, kidnapping and murders on time. Casting of the group is good. Direction, editing and set selections done by professionals. Acting is very normal nothing special. Acting of Ajay Devgan is not up-to the mark. If some one acting on different situations or characters, facial expression should be different. Facial expressions as good cop, love boy or Vimal advertisement seems similar. It is disheartening.  Story line is so-so. Freshness missing.  I am giving 7 out of 10 with avoid category. If you are in Ajay Devgan fan club you can watch.

Review of Undekhi 2.0

Image
 Undekhi 2.0 is thriller violent series based on a dancer killed on the occasion of the wedding ceromancy.  To hide the crime, series of killing done.  Cast framing is awesome. Splendid action and magnificent story line making the series addictive. Satisfactory direction and editing. Harsh Chhaya as Paaji, Dibyendu as DCP Gosh and Surya as Rinku's hooking performance kept the platform alive. 10 episodes of approx 35 mins. Story is excellent even so execution on the front of reality is missing.  I am giving 9 out of 10 with must watch category. Note that Undekhi season 1 to be watched before season 2. Use of expletive words in the season.

Review of The Fame Game- Web Series

Image
 Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Kapoor casted "The Fame Game" is Drama series on Netflix. Superstar- Anamika's marriage life was not in shape. Drama started when she vanished from her house. And story is running in the line of that disappearance.  Direction is as per expectation, not above average. Editing, dialogue and screen play marked as average. Acting of Madhuri Dixit sounds good even so more natural act was expected. Extra efforts on direction and screen keeps story away from the audience. 8 episodes of approx. 45 mins each makes it long. Thrill is absent. Can not judge target audience from the story. Slow story making drama more predictable.  I am giving 7 out of 10 with Avoid category  (if you are not Madhuri Dixit's fan).                                              

Review of Mithya- Web Series

Image
 "Mithya" is thriller suspense story based on Zee5. To make a base let me give the glimpse of the scenario. Professor couple and wife's parents staying in Darjeeling. Happy or can say perfect life is going on until a student messed up their life. Talking about the direction and editing part I liked it. Sets are stunning. You can feel real Darjeeling. Action of Huma Qureshi and Avantika Dasani is natural even more, it looks they worked a lot to get deep in the character. Writing and Dialogue is just amazing if you like the literature. Fresh English words with thought provoking lines of Sakseshpeare keeps you on. Surprises keeps coming. 6 Parts of approx 30 min each makes a short story even so it can be shorted if you don't love art. I am low partially as less thrill. "But so what?" is still question for me at the end. I am giving 8 out of 10 with one time watch series. Note that it is marked as Adult as use of slang language.

Review of The Whistleblower

 The Whistleblower is on Sony Liv. One of the great series with different story. It is thriller story based on corruption in medical examination and selection process. Meaning of Whistleblower is when system is pressurized with unethical means and person or group of persons trying to blow it. It's alarming condition. Corruption in medical examination and selection is at top level and desired persons not getting selected. They lost against money. Story contains corruption, romance, politics and much more.... I feel it is must watch series with 9/10 ratings.
