Fingertip

This is the Best web series I have ever seen on OTT, this is a thriller, educates, creates awareness on Cyber crimes, a must watch series (both the seasons), and I think this should be telecasted in educational institutions, Govt. Departments and corporates.

Wonder why mainstream cinema has failed to recognize such a good looking and talented hero! His acting is superb. The Director has done a good job of highlighting the hidden underworld of the Internet and has got the best out of every character however small the role. For example, the manager of the heroine has given an excellent performance and so has the guy who sells sent and blackmails young girls. The story line is good and the director has left enough doorway to make season 3. Very different from the mundane television serial that you see on regular TV Channels. Good job, the director and the crew.

As of 2021 Fingertip can be classified as the the best ever Tamil web series produced (not many have been made by the way) by a mile. Fingertip captures our technology-hooked modern lives through the prism of the five deadly sins, it is a highly relatable, acutely watchable series about modern Tamil lives in the big cities. Every episode is the story of an average person, whose life is thrown into disarray through social media and its implications on our lives.

None of the other Tamil web series across various other OTT platforms can match Fingertip, either in its substance or quality. I am not suggesting that Fingertip is among India's best, but it is the best among all other Tamil web series. Cinematography is well handled throughout the series. The major plus factor for fingertip lays in its no nonsense screenplay, that is far from being predictable and keeps the viewer guessing. Excellent treatment given by director Shivakar oozes above average quality in its near 3 hour run. Production design, music, costumes and makeup are all par. At 180 minutes, the editor has done some wonderful work to keep up the pace across the 5 believable episodes. On the acting front Sunaina does a wonderful job in episode 1, Followed by Sanjana Sarthy in episode 3.

Overall, Fingertip is by no means a Black Mirror in Tamil as some people suggest, it is far apart in terms of writing and production quality but the web series shows a lot of promise for the future. I hope the producer Vishnu Varathan produces more such projects in the near future. A must watch for all Tamil movie audiences, who expect a little more substance than the regular run a mill potboiler stories. Fingertip will not disappoint its viewers, 6.7 stars out of 10 for the treatment instilled and the effort taken to churn out something respectable.

The 8 episodes were creating expectations and almost it fulfilled them all. There are 6 stories and each have its own importance and situations can be related to any middle class family in the country.

The ending is half ok to me as I don't accept the trend and ofcourse it may be the fact that one who is the master in technology will. Survive any situation. May be I wish to have positivity and good moral to the audience as it should prevail the balance in nature.

Anyhow the time spent was worthy.

This is a good watch. It tells about the bad effects of online world. I can compare it with Black Mirror series on Netflix. It is not as dark as Black Mirror and not that complex in terms of technology but the heart of the theme is at the right place. I am waiting for the second season to come, but looking at the number of voters on IMDb not sure if this series was able to reach a larger viewership and second season will ever come.

WATCH IT! You will not be disappointed.
