11th Hour review: Tamannaah Bhatia can’t rescue this series

The makers of eleventh Hour had promoted the company drama as a world-class present which may have Tamannaah Bhatia in one more superlative efficiency. Touted to be the primary big-budget Telugu net sequence, eleventh Hour, nevertheless, fails in any respect ranges to ship on these guarantees.

Tamannaah performs Aratrika Reddy within the present, who’s divorced and mom to a 6-year-old. Whereas placing her son to mattress, she narrates the story of Purple Using Hood to him. The story is kind of vital as a result of Aratrika is the proverbial Purple Using Hood who’s surrounded on all sides of wolves within the garb of males. Her first enemy is her father, a wife-beater who believes solely his son will likely be his worthy successor.

As issues get robust, he’s compelled to make Aratrika the CEO of his firm, which makes her the bête noire of the rival firms and their house owners. Quickly, we witness a information channel reporting on a Rs 10,000 crore rip-off performed by Aratrika’s firm, Aditya Group, and the way she owes a mortgage to a financial institution and has solely someday to repay it. Left alone in a person’s world, she has no alternative however to rage a battle. That is the place our confusion begins and the plot loses its maintain.

Because the sequence progresses, we meet totally different characters. The makers put some in context whereas we’re supposed to know the relevance of others all on our personal. Throughout one of many sequences, we see a glimpse of a debate round Rhea Chakraborty’s NCB case however the makers, like many different issues, depart it hanging.

The one saving grace is that there are solely eight episodes with period saved underneath half-hour of every. It seems the makers had been in a rush to shoot the sequences and put the sequence out as they didn’t focus on minute issues like lip-sync. There are scenes the place Tamannaah’s dialogue and her lip motion didn’t match.

We fail to attach with Tamannaah and her character Aratrika because the character is saved half-baked. Sadly, she’s not convincing as a mom and it takes her seven episodes to make an impression as a businesswoman.

eleventh Hour is just not Tamannaah’s finest efficiency, however her co-star Arun Adith leaves an impression as Peter D’Cruz, Aratrika’s solely well-wisher within the sequence.

The makers tried onerous to make a sequence that stands at par with the content material obtainable on different OTT platforms. However the sequence, which is meant to be one in all Aha’s greatest exhibits, fails to match the expectations.

eleventh Hour had an open-ended climax, paving the best way for a sequel. Our solely hope is that will probably be partaking and price our time the second time spherical.
