Dustbin reviewed Mirzapur
The web series starring Pankaj Tripathi, Divyenndu, Vikrant Massey and Ali Fazal, was launched on Amazon Prime Video.
Mirzapur is a typically dysfunctional fictional town in Eastern Uttara Pradesh, whose uncrowned king is the delightfully named gangster Akhandanand Tripathi (Pankaj Tripathi). He is a serious man, his existence pockmarked by murders, betrayals and skullduggery. He owns a carpet factory hence his nickname is 'Kaleen Bhai'. Akhandanand's biggest enemy is his own offspring. His hot-headed son Munna(Divyenndu) is aching to take over the empire. He punches and shoots before thinks, erupts without provocation and does not believe his father. Munna's psychotic behavior opens the doors of the Tripathi Citadel to two ambitious brothers. Guddu(Ali Fazal) and Bablu (Vikrant Massey). Guddu an aspiring body builder and Bablu a class topper. The creators of the show barely tinker with the gangland drama template. Nearly ever character that you would expect to see in a tale of crime, corruption, revenge and murder sign the attendance roster. The struggle between father and sons, the endemic corruption that enables crime, the sharp-tongued mend and compromised women, the cussing and rutting, the back-stabbing and the instant paybacks makes the Mirzapur a hit web series.
Divyenndu and Vikrant Massey are terrific in their roles, each managing to earn some sympathy even though their characters are never up to any good. Pankaj Tripathi's nuanced and hugely enjoyable performance is among the grace notes.

The series is about three sisters who are royal only in name, as their financial status is in tatters. They decided to move to Mumbai in search of a good life.
Hum is an interesting concept. A mother who's too dependent on alcohol, a younger daughter who considers alcohol as a stress buster , a lonely widower who has kept himdelf restrained for a long time and an employee who's finally finding true love. These character are interesting and the performances are good dramatics. Kushal Tandon's fans will enjoy seeing him in this stylish fun-loving Casanova character. The actor has the effortless swag.
The ending of the series is pretty interesting though,and will make die-hard Ekta fans come back for more. Hum packs in the emotions and entertainment in equal measure.

"Made in Heaven" is the amazing web series India has produced, no doubt about it . The love scenes, both hetro and homosexual , look real with the actors letting loose the kind of unbridled physical passion that was so far forbidden in India cinema. Every major character in " Made in Heaven" is waiting to break free from one form of repression or another.
Shobhita's character Tara who comes from a middle class background, has married a rich man Adil who now is cheating on her with her best friend. Another best character is Karan Mehra who is a homosexual yearning to come out, grappling with emotional and financial problems.
Together Tara and Karan plot and plan through a string of affluent weddings, lavish on both food and feud. Lies seems to fuel the passion of these inflamed character. The dialogues hit the right notes without putting too fine a point on it. Both the characters solves typical problems like discreet dowry deals and unrelenting disdain for a 50 plus woman's desire for a second marriage life.
The emotional ruins of Tara and Karan take Made in Heaven to a somewhat satisfactory end, but it feels an hour too long in getting there.
This is the series you will want to watch all in one go. So set side a whole day for it.

'sacred Games' adapted from Vikram Chandra's 2006 novel opens the latest front in Netflix's international campaign.
The series begins with a bang, as Sartaj singh (saif Ali Khan) is contacted by an anonymous caller who sits Wizard-of-Oz like, before a bank of computer monitors, distorting his voice and masking his location. The caller turns out to be Ganesh Gaitonde(Nawaziddin Siddiqui) a
notorious Mumbai criminal who's been missing for years and thought dead. Gaitonde warns Sartaj about the unspecified event that will strike Mumbai in 25 days. The role of Singh played by Saif Ali Khan was a role of an honest cop. The whole story revolvers around the gangster Gaitonde. As Radhika Apte's character, a foreign intelligence officer, begins to have a bigger story, she also magnifies the appeal of the series. It is a story about good versus evil. Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwani who share directing duties have made classic noir story, complete with layered central character, a damsel in distress of a city and corruption that goes all the way to the top.
Ganesh Gaitonde is particularly memorable character that will for years remain a highlight of Nawaz's already legendary body of work.
In the end I would like to suggest you that if you have watched Netflix shows that for sure you have to watch this amazing show .#mustWatch
