Showtime

Only Emran Hasmi, Rajeev, Mahima, and Ofcourse Vijay Raaz were amazing. Mouni roy was over the top and clearly shows why she is good for TV Serials... Poor acting, no Expression and dilogue delivery is worst... Just to get footage I am sure she has forced her single shot screen present in episode 7.... Hate to see her... The screen time is stretched in few episodes and dialogues are very poor.

Acting wise most actors were great and did wonderful .... Story is good too... Direction wise you can feel all episodes aren't directed by just one director but different people as some episodes have great grip other episodes we feel like yawning l.

Just completed watching Showtime!!

All the actors have worked well. Part two was a bit faster than Part one. Because in part one after two episodes, it was kind of slow. But for the part two, the show has taken its pace. Story vise part two is more interesting than the first one.

There has been a few things that will give you some deja vu with the things actually happened in Bollywood over the years. Even though I am not mentioning any names or anything (for the sake of not spoiling the show), you guys will know what I am talking about.

Another interesting thing was mentioned was "when two people fights, the third person takes advantage of it. So, instead fighting with each other, try to find a middle way which will give you more probability of victory."

For me the best part was the end of the show where we will get to see new allies happening on both the positive and negative side.

The concept and story were par excellence. I was very excited for this show. Full marks for the concept. But the execution failed miserably. Were not able to convey what they had envisioned. In fact they completely missed the mark and were too rash without enough build-up for any character or any story.

Visuals are excellent. That scene where Vijay Raaz proposes his son's launch to Mahima in exchange for help, that whole sequence was a visual treat. Rajeev and Vijay out perform everyone else.

This could had easily become one of the best shows if Karan Johar was involved whole heartedly into this project in order to deliver.

Personal Rating 7.5/10

Being a pure filmiholic, it is only natural that I would love this web series on celebrity life, dark secrets of the film world and the hype of Bollywood. Emraan Hashmi gave a great performance, he single handedly stole the limelight in the series. It is completely ridiculous that the dark secrets of Bollywood would be revealed in such a way in any Bollywood series, that is why I thoroughly enjoyed the series. There is no chance of being boring, this series can be seen in one sitting.

Overall, it goes without saying that this is a must-watch series for those who are always into the filmy world. Waiting now for June, gonnaa wating to see part 2!💛🎬

"Showtime" (2024) offers a glimpse into the dazzling world of Bollywood, with its glamorous stars, extravagant sets, and cutthroat competition. However, despite its initial promise, the series ultimately falls short of delivering a truly captivating and engaging narrative.

The series follows the lives and ambitions of various individuals within the Bollywood industry, from aspiring actors to powerful producers, all vying for success and recognition. While the show's visuals capture the glitz and glamour of the industry, the narrative itself struggles to break free from predictable plotlines and stereotypical characters.

The performances are decent, with the actors showcasing the charisma and vulnerability of their characters. However, the lack of depth in the character development prevents the audience from fully connecting with their struggles and motivations.

The series attempts to delve into themes of ambition, betrayal, and the price of fame, but these explorations often feel superficial and lack the emotional resonance needed to truly engage the viewer. The pacing is uneven, with some scenes dragging while others feel rushed, and the attempts at creating suspense and intrigue often fall flat due to the predictability of the plot.

Overall, "Showtime" (2024) is a series that promises much but delivers little. While it offers a glimpse into the glamorous world of Bollywood, its shallow character development, predictable plotlines, and lack of emotional depth prevent it from being a truly captivating viewing experience.
