Falso

The series grips up into the world in the first two episodes, and keeps you on the edge of your seat through the last three. Their biggest victory as a story teller lies in the fact that you are relating to the journey of two protagonists - Sunny and Firoz - and there are times when you don't want the characters to take a certain decision, as deep within they are the middle class families, trying to make it big. While there are multiple characters introduced through the 8-episode series, Raj and DK manage to give every character their moment of glory and intertwines it seamlessly into the narrative. Despite being a web series, the emotions of Farzi are very rooted and relatable, something that director duo of Raj and DK have mastered in through their Family Man Franchise and now, Farzi. The entire Zakir Hussain track is a riot and the finest moments of the series lie in the interactions of Micheal and Pawan Gahlot. Farzi isn't just a cat and mouse race between the characters, but also their actors to be at their best. Once again, Shahid Kapoor makes a statement on why he is among the best actors of the country, as he leaves a mark with his act as Sunny. Vijay Sethupathi also makes a powerful digital debut and aces his character of Micheal. What works beautifully is his seamless style of mouthing those sarcastic one-liners as that lends a unique arc to his character. Kay Kay Menon as Mansoor too gets his moments to shine but the best as an actor is kept for the finale. Bhuvan Arora as Firoz is the find of Farzi and one will hear his name frequently in the times to come by. Raashii Khanna too gets an author backed character, playing RBI Officer, Megha Vyas, and is confident through her presence in the series. Can't Wait for Season 2 and also to explore more of this Raj & DK universe..!!

8.5/10

As an ardent follower of Raj and DK and their previous endeavours, I had been anticipating their new show since it was first announced last year, and now that I have finally finished it, I can confidently tell that my patience was rewarded.

It is gritty, it is dark, and most importantly, it puts the emphasis where it was required: on the characters and the places they come from.

Shahid, Vijay, Kay Kay, Raashi; the cast had no shortage of talent, so it was rather a challenge to balance out all of their screentime as well as relevance in the script, which I believe Raj and DK accomplished admirably. Big props to the entire cast too, for their dedication and full commitment to their roles, especially Shahid & Vijay; this is their first time on an OTT platform, and they knocked it out of the park, no doubts whatsoever.

The most impressive thing for me however is that, despite having lengthy episodes (nearly an hour each), I was never bored, not for a single moment. There was always something interesting going on, something cooking, and that kept my mind occupied and engrossed throughout. And I can say the same only for a handful of other shows out there.

I'm already looking forward to the next season!

Bring it on, and bring it on fast!
