Tathaastu (2019)

Don't, and I repeat, don't fall for the seemingly enticing trailer with a clever theme of a business trying to fulfill impossible wishes. The show delivers nothing of the sort and comes off as rather an unpalatable melange of off beat mess. This Arre original is boring, lacks structure and follows a chaotic plotline.

The show starts with Dev Awasthi (Shivankit Singh Parihar) being interviewed for his wildly successful start-up 'Tathaastu,' where they take "your wish is my command" attitude to the next level and gets seemingly impossible requests sorted in no time. His team includes a lot of wacky characters, none of which are interesting enough or well developed. With conspicuously choppy writing and pale dialogues, the show fails to hold attention even for a couple of minutes. The pace is slow and direction could use a lot of work. Their first case is Taimur's missing potty training chair, and nothing could have been more mind-numbing than that. Everything in the show is forcefully tied and distastefully presented.

I wouldn't recommend this show to any with a sense of humor for witty and ingenious ideas. Steer clear of this half baked attempt.

Arre India, launched it’s webseries 'Tathaastu' on 20th February 2019. A startup named Tathaastu started by Dev Ashwati brings on the concept of problem solving in real life using the personal assistant app. “Get your craziest wish/problem to the weirdest wishes/problems fulfilled and solved” all at one place.

Solving a small petty complication to a weird problem of tik-tok addiction by a teenager. A complete office drama series with hilarious jokes, crazy minds and weird demands by their customers. Shivankit Parihar in as Dev Awasthi Tathaastu who heads the started a startup Tathaastu, which is a personal assistant app that solves people’s problems, fulfills craziest wishes etc. “only one wish at a time”. Episode one deals with a problem by investigating a case of taimur’s stolen priceless potty seat. In the same fashion they solves series of upcoming problems of marriage where the groom’s family gets to know that there is a fault in the stars and wants to cancel the marriage. So the future bride and the bridegroom runs to tathaastu for help. They comes up with a creative idea of which DK and his team creates a hallucination that there is a cockroach in daya chand chips which isn’t actually and tweeted it, this made the company’s shares under loss. The future bridegroom then calls his dad that because of rejection of that girl, everything happened and made his dad realize that she is a luck stone for his family. This is how tathaastu solved there second problems. The actors seem to have sleep-walked through their roles, that’s how lacklustre the acting is. Pranay Pachauri, the guy who plays DK, apes Hrithik Roshan and quite blatantly at that. The whole series was completely entertaining, exhilarating and exuberant for the audience to enjoy.
This webseries is streaming on MX Player and Arre India. It is a well conceptual comedy series. Watch it only if you have time to kill and nothing better to do.
