Die Trying Review

Starring Kenneth Sebastian as a cutesy guy- Kenny and Vidyuth Gargi as his no-nonsense best friend Rohan, on their quest to become hit musicians, the show follows the peculiar hurdles they must cross for their dreams to become reality. Long story short, things go wrong for our aspiring duo more than they go right and their unconventional problems turn into humorous plot-lines. The show is set in the year 2004, while the essence of the era could have been captured better, the retro, feel-good vibes are warm enough.

An interesting aspect of the show is its many, many entertaining side characters. They are written and performed quite well. From Kenny hitting on women in clubs for music inspiration to make-shift recording studios, the show is stuffed with witty one liners and clever innuendos.

The show surely doesn't have any mind-bending twists or hysterical highs and may even remind of a comedy sketch that has been stretched out a little too long but is consistently adorable and engaging. It's a great pick to fill a laid-back evening.
