Kaala

Kaala flip-flops between brilliance and cliches and is at times exhilarating and at times exasperating. But Avinash Tiwary and Jitin Gulati - man, especially the later - absolutely steal the show and make you realise how not-so-known Indian actors are absolutely rocking the OTT space. Can watch the show for Jitin only.

Coming to the plot, financial thrillers are always fun to watch but Indians have not been too adept in it. Reverse hawala is a good concept and one can easily see why Hotstar wanted this show, but the money laundering bit leading to the end is not explained well. I found the pacing inconsistent as well, which made it a satisfactory watch, not a great one.

A well made series that chronologically goes back & forth from 1980s to 2018. The best hero of this series are the performances, not a single actor have under delivered their role.

A movie style series that uncovers true colors of each character slowly.

Starting with leads - Avinash Tiwari who has played IB officer flawlessly, sometimes over the board but overall well acted.

But the finest came from Jitin Gulati, and his shades of character. A slow transformation that goes from various turfs.

All others have played their characters really well.

Background score, casting and production values are top notch.

Some flaws though - bit draggy in parts, unnecessary characters exposure and too much of timelines shift that may make few watchers impatient .

Overall, a very solid drama about money laundering that should have more takers.

Good story With top notch acting of some actor not only raw investigative narrations some emotional filling between character , chase scene I liked it. Again Avinash tiwary nailed fan from Niraj Pandey khakee, bulbul he deserve much more , same week two totally different character , Dawood to deshbhakt IB Officer, watching kolkata real street is pleasure., some scene are unwanted. But at least u can forward in home , must watch , applaud to director , team , producer., some funny scenes is also there in sarcastic way , by some side actors , so many known faces from Tv industry , good platform for them as , web series 👍

Story and direction along with screenplay are awesome. Some parts are predictable and storyline could have been faster. It could have been wrapped in 5 episodes instead of 8 with 5 main protagonists headlining each episode. This is tightly woven around main character so the direction has been marvellous in that sense. Cinematography suits the flow and build up. Well written, minimal dialogues are not heavy and absorbing around the storyline itself.

"Excellent screenplay! This series stands out as one of the best in recent times, making it a must-watch for any avid viewer. While the first episode might appear overwhelming with its intricate plot, I urge you to invest some time and focus, for you will be rewarded with a captivating narrative filled with unexpected twists and unique storylines that are a rarity in today's content.

The direction of the series is top-notch, a testament to the talent of Bejoy Nambiar. His vision and execution shine through, keeping the audience engaged from start to finish. The photography adds another layer of depth to the storytelling, creating a visually stunning experience.

Moreover, the ensemble cast delivers commendable performances, breathing life into their respective characters. Each actor contributes significantly to the series' success, making it a well-rounded production.

In conclusion, this series is a masterclass in storytelling, direction, and acting. If you appreciate a finely crafted screenplay with layers of complexity and intrigue, this is a gem you shouldn't miss.
