Web Series Review | The Fame Game: A Treat For The Madhuri Dixit Fans
Yearly hundreds of individuals vanish with out a proof, and most of those disappearances go unnoticed. Nevertheless, it’s a completely different matter altogether when the lacking individual occurs to be a celeb.
Between the interval of lacking and resurfacing of the lacking individual, there are speculations, foul play is at all times considered however not all are fortunate to reappear amongst those that floor alive. Many, nevertheless, don’t really go lacking within the first place; for them, the celeb life is just a little an excessive amount of to bear.
Thus, on the very onset, the title of this sequence is a dampener by itself. Regardless of the thriller or aura of the present, in the back of your thoughts, you already know its premise is simply an attention-seeking tactic.
This overview relies on the primary six episodes of the sequence. Anamika Anand (Madhuri Dixit) is a famend actress on the final leg of her profession. Her husband, Nikhil Extra (Sanjay Kapoor), is producing a movie together with her because the lead. Mid-production, they realise that the movie will not be shaping as per their expectations, and thus they rope in Manish Khanna (Manav Kaul), a celebrity whose on-screen chemistry with Anamika is palpable to the viewers.
However simply earlier than the movie is to be launched, Anamika Anand goes lacking.
Narrated in a non-linear method the sequence begins with Anamika Anand lacking for 48 hours and Police Officer Shobha Trivedi investigating the case. Through the investigation, we find out about Anamika’s fading recognition, her dysfunctional household, and resurfacing of her long-discarded flame Manish Khanna in her life.
By the second episode, it’s 4 days that Anamika is lacking and unravels occasions that occurred six months earlier. Loaded with flashbacks and filled with guilt and moments of pleasure, we hear Anamika inform her daughter Amara (Muskkaan Jaferi), “Fame will not be glamour, fame is harmful, and also you don’t know the way one has to take care of individuals.”
The assertion is subtly loaded however is dismissed within the pure course of the dialog when her daughter reveals to her that she desires to comply with her mom’s footsteps to stardom.
Episodes three and 4 reveal occasions that occurred 5 months earlier. Right here the narrative meanders at a laid-back tempo, and you discover the momentum of the narrative dip. However within the sixth episode, a stray assertion like, “Ab hogi hamari movie hit,” from an unconcerned Nikhil, you grow to be a dispassionate viewer as a result of by then timelines merge and also you aren’t concerned about co-relating the occasions that occurred two months in the past with the current.
Additionally, pushing the narrative ahead are points regarding: Anamika’s delicate son Avinash (Lakshvir Sing Saran), the loopy and tenacious fan Madhav (Gagan Arora)- who’s an orphan, PK the slimy movie financer, Billy, Anamika’s Make-up artist, who labored together with her for 15 years.
Conversations and scenes seem verbose and compelled in most elements of the sequence, aside from the Marathi tinge within the dialogues. Additionally, within the sixth episode, the scene regarding the private lifetime of the investigating officer Shobha Trivedi is unwarranted.
General, mounted with ace manufacturing values, the sequence is participating due to the performances of its ace star forged, all of whom are a bit above common. None of them add any nuance to their characters. However the highlight is of course on Madhuri Dixit, who makes her debut on the OTT platform. Together with her typical charismatic manner and dance sequences which one has oft seen on the big display screen, she is certain to please her followers and get some additional brownie factors too for that.
Among the many youthful lot Lakshvir Singh Saran, Muskkaan Jaferi, and Gagan Arora are honest and promising.
