Web Series Review | Kaun Banegi Shikharwati: Perfect Casting Saves This Series – FilmyVoice
Set within the royal land of Rajasthan, ‘Kaun Banegi Shikharwati’ is a hackneyed ten-episode dramedy the place a father makes an attempt to reunite his 4 estranged daughters to save lots of the legacy they maintain.
Naseeruddin Shah performs Raja Mrityunjay, the erstwhile King of Shikharwati, who’s slowed down with empty coffers and an enormous debt to the Indian Authorities – when it comes to property tax in arrears. To avoid wasting himself from the state of affairs he’s in, with the assistance of his shut confidant Mishraji, he feigns an odd sickness and calls his 4 estranged daughters; Devyani, Gayatri, Kamini, and Uma to his palace with the reassurance that he would resolve an inheritor after the 4 of them compete in a contest.
The principles of the competitors are easy. There could be 9 rounds within the competitors, and every spherical could be a process which the princesses must carry out. Ultimately, the winner of the competitors could be appointed the subsequent “King”. That’s how the plot kicks in and thus begins the predictable misadventures of the quirky princesses who do their darndest to win.
Every episode is astutely crafted with artwork that appears insubstantial and meandering on the floor and thus could repulse some. However by the tenth episode, after you will have had the endurance of sitting via the sooner 9, you’d get hooked to search out the collection finish on a significant and heart-warming be aware.
As for the characters; Naseeruddin Shah because the idiosyncratic Raja along with his fuzzy tuft trying as cosily rumpled as an unmade mattress, making it clear that Raja Mritunjay shouldn’t be a heartless, imply man and that he has the welfare of his daughters and his property at coronary heart, Lara Dutta as Devyani his oldest daughter with marital points, Soha Ali Khan as his thoughtful second daughter Gayatri who’s a single mother to her two youngsters, Kritika Kamra as his third single daughter Kamini who’s obsessed over her social media follower rely and Anya Singh as Uma his allergy-prone, gamer daughter, Cyrus Sahukar as Devyani’s husband Harsh Neotia, Raghubir Yadav as Mishraji, and the remainder of the ilk, all seem stereotypical and oft-seen.
Equally, spare for a handful of impressed scenes, the remainder of the collection seem cliched and unoriginal.
In lesser fingers, ‘Kaun Banegi Shikharwati’ may have been indigestible pablum, however its pitch-perfect solid received’t allow you to quickly neglect the poignant bonding of the collection. There’s a pure performative high quality to the actors’ embodiment of their characters. All of them appear to be residing their components effortlessly and are spectacular of their marked roles, with them going massive always with smirks, sighs, smiles, and tears.
Total, mounted with ace manufacturing values, the collection seems staged with broken people in quest of – connection and unity, who wind up tidy to a tacky fault.
