The Fame Game

The Fame Game is marketed as a thriller and if you forgive the first 20 minutes or so it begins to grow but then often is watered down by family drama and bad dialogue writing at the beginning of series, you would wonder that too while watching it how those lines get through in the final cut . Getting back to the other part of the series , parts about disappearance and investigation and as story unfolds with reasons for it are much entertaining , watchable and holds you on to the screen then what goes around with other things that I found unnecessary in the story and series . Series does have its moments when story , narrative and atmosphere builds up but if you have been watching lots of thrillers and mysteries lately you would see those things and storyline coming from miles away while you might find similarities with few other movies and series made in past in English and foreign languages . Madhuri Dixit does what she does very well and fans would not be disappointed at all , Rajshri Deshpande needs special mention along with other cast members like Manav Kaul and Suhasini Mulay . If script-writing and editing could have been better it would have been one of those acclaimed series but it falls short of it .

Give it a try for Madhuri Dixit and have patience as it is that you would need . Again Rajshri Deshpande and Manav Kaul need special mention for their acting . I will go for a strong seven but I am still hesitating for an eight.

As expected The fame game rides on the shoulders of strong and convincing acting of Madhuri Dixit only. This series clearly narrates how ugly is Bollywood behind the glittering glamour world. It is not exactly a thriller but more of Drama with some mystery and thriller element. In case you are Fan of Madhuri Dixit than it is must watch but in case you are not Madhuri fan and want to watch thriller or Mystery than there is lot to watch on OTT.

It's like serving a stale and bland food by an international multicuisine restaurant. The show tries to cash on the fame of Madhuri Dixit, but unfortunately makers forgot to work on the story. You feel cheated by the end of the show after dedicating many hours of your busy day on a show which yields nothing. Very stale and predictable story with a choice of very bad and undertrained actors and above all worst than anything writing. I have given rating of 4 just for the sake of "Manav kaul" because he tried to keep this sinking ship afloat. And please netflix stop underestimating indian audience in the name of thrillers, thats disrespectful.

I don't know why there are so negative comments, honestly I felt this is good series with combination of thriller and drama. Everyone acted outstandingly, I didn't watch the trailer and was not awaiting for it, suddenly watched this from Netflix Home Screen and it was really worth of my time.

The show is boring. Do not waste your time on it. The episodes could have been shorter and the writing could have been crisper. Lost interest after episode 3. Mediocre writing.
