After watching the trailer, I couldn't understand as to why they made a series out of this story. I had no real expectations from the show, and only decided to watch it after it received some positive reviews. I must say, I was quite disappointed. I don't know why some people are lauding praises on this show. First of all, my original opinion was correct that this story should have been told as a movie, because there is nothing much in it to be carried on for 8 episodes. It's an extremely slow paced show that fails to grab your attention at any point of time. On top of that, you get frustrated with the actions of the characters. The leading man in this series is not a hero, instead he's a wuss, and it's very difficult to like and support such characters. Vikrant is a spineless coward who prefers to be a slave of his masters than standing up for himself. How is it possible for the viewer to enjoy watching the story of such a character?
As far as acting is concerned, Anchal Singh is the standout performer of the show, with a perfect portrayal of a beautiful seductress who thinks of herself as nothing less than a queen and believes that everyone around her exists to make her happy. Purva is basically a mentally unstable woman and her parents instead of getting her some medical help, are fulfilling every stupid fantasy of hers. Vikrant is in the middle of all this, who is not only helpless but also a coward, which makes it difficult for the viewer to empathize with him.
Golden played by Anant Joshi is another fantastic performance of the show. Anant Joshi never lets you feel that it's an act, he is one hundred percent immersed in his role. Actors like him make you believe in the authenticity of the world created by the writers and director. Brijendra Kala and Saurabh Shukla are actors of the highest quality, it's not possible for them to give a bad performance and as expected they have given an outstanding performance in the show.
Shweta Tripathi is a wonderful actress, and she has done a good job as is always expected from her but unfortunately she doesn't really have a lot to do in this show. In a massive ensemble of actors, where pretty much everyone has done a good job, Shweta almost got lost.
There was no need for the story to go on for eight episodes, let alone extend it into another season. That is one major drawback of this show. The pacing is extremely slow, the content is more irritating than engaging, and on top of that we don't get a conclusion, something we could have easily got to. Things happen in the show purely out of convenience, not out of logic. Some of the actions of characters come across as way too unrealistic and ultimately you are left wondering in frustration as to when will all this come to an end, but unfortunately you don't even get that. This wasn't a dark comedy, this was just a poorly made show.
