WEB SERIES REVIEW: The makers tried hard to create a black comedy crime drama but could not deliver due to its own loopholes. The eight-episode series keeps you hooked in the beginning, but later this character-driven overstretched plot fails to keep its promise. There are too many subplots going on parallel which failed to create any impact at the end. It was a huge disappointment for the viewer who has invested time for eight episodes.
All the potential actors are simply wasted here. Few characters are forcibly introduced to only stretch the runtime. Sunil Grover plays Sonu Singh, a lonely man with no social circle due to his strange behaviour. He delivered an average performance due to mediocre writing. Ranvir Shorey, Girish Kulkarni, and Mukul Chadha gave a decent performance. Other supporting casts were just average in their roles.
There was a huge room for editing, the series could have been cut short to bring it down to six episodes. There was absolutely no need of adding unnecessary lengthy scenes to drag the series.
