Hustle (2004–2012)

Classy and Slick

[10/10 · 23 July 2007]

Well, BBC Entertainment finally got this series to India. Its probably the best crime drama i've ever seen. Classy and Slick makes you feel like you should be one of em. The music is awesome, shots, color grading, everything is EXCELLENT. Saw two episodes and ordered the DVDs from Amazon. Do not miss this. If you've not even seen on episode, buy the whole DVD set. God I'm a fan...... Absolutely love it.....

I loved the crown jewels episode where they steal a diamond. Though stealing a diamond is one of the most stereotype heists, but the way they fooled the police was amazing....

The other cool episode was when they pull a long con on this property dealer who tries to run ahead of con men. Well not Mickey and his team. Hats of to Bharat Nalluri for the concept. Now stop reading this and go watch Hustle....

Karamchand (1985– )

Karamchand Returns after 22 years

[9/10 · 13 February 2007]

Karamchand is back after 22 years on Sony TV. Amongst everything else, I love the fact that the original title theme has been kept as it is. Its simply amazing. One can also download the theme from Sony Television's website. Although I was not much impressed by the first episode but I'm sure it'll be a remarkable return of India's original detective. Pankaj Kapur is such a versatile actor and the contrast which he brings while playing Karamchand and on the other hand Mussadi in Office Office is superb.

Pankaj Parashar created the original Karamchand and he's directing the new series as well. We can therefore expect the same thrills and the same camera work as mentioned in the previous review.
