Memories Review

'Memories' has Rohit Roy playing Manav Malhotra, the head of a TV News channel, who gets supernatural powers after he survives a car accident. Basically, he can access the memories of a dead person by touching them. Rohit is just coming to terms with this power, even as he helps his police officer buddy to solve cases. But, he is then embroiled in a high-profile murder case that’s too close to his own life.

Indian sci-fi series are few and far between, and they have achieved a cult status. Sc-fi series need two things to work. One, a cool supernatural power and two, something that makes the audience invest in the characters. While the cool supernatural power exists, there’s little for the audience to invest in the character –the car crash that the protagonist survives is shown off-screen. Krishna Bhatt directs the series well and the young director has a good sensibility for the emotional scenes.

The performances are good, with Rohit Roy doing a good job of playing Manav. The strong script gives him a platform to put up a decent performance and he rises to the occasion. The supporting cast also does its job well.

Viewers will enjoy a beautifully woven romance amidst the thrill and twists that the show will bring along. Rohit’s character is a well match of his behavioral pattern onscreen. His glasses, suits, all add heft to the maturity of the character and the seriousness of the situation.

The web series is popular to be psychological thriller which keeps its viewers hooked to their chair.
