Pill

Finished binge-watching the whole show:

The topic of corruption in pharmaceutical companies is not new. However, this show presents it in a unique way to the audience. Overall, I totally recommend this show.

Acting: 10/10. All the actors gave amazing performances. Ritesh Deshmukh and Pawan Malhotra stood out as the protagonist and antagonist, respectively.

Storyline: 10/10. The presentation of the story was well done, and it totally captivated me throughout the show.

Direction: Well done.

Casting: The casting was well curated.

Overall, I enjoyed the show and highly recommend everyone watch it with family and friends.

Awesome storyline and acting by all the cast! Really enjoyed the serious acting by Riteish Deshmukh. He should definitely try his hands at this genre more! We already know what an awesome actor he is when it comes to comedy ! Keep it up "Bhava" ! Loved you. Also best thing about the series was there was nothing over the top or too much heroic or larger than life heroism shown. Just a quiet and great battle of a common and honest sarkari babu against the corrupt GIANT company and his own corrupt colleagues who constantly try to stop him Each character had so much "character" in them - for example wife of Riteish, Noor khan, Dr Basu , Ashish Khanna - All character shine ! No dull moments hence a must watch !!

Pill Season 1 is a Hindi-language thriller on JioCinema, created and directed by Raj Kumar Gupta. The show exposes the corrupt nexus of India's pharmaceutical industry.

It stars Riteish Deshmukh as Dr. Prakash Chauhan, a deputy medicines controller, and Pawan Malhotra as the ruthless CEO Brahma Gill of Forever Cure Pharma. The eight-episode series follows Prakash's crusade against unethical drug proliferation after uncovering trial deaths.

The story is rooted in real-world issues like the 2013 Ranbaxy scandal, and unfolds with a whistleblower's social media post which drives Prakash to confront a pharma-politician-doctor nexus.

Pacing is brisk in episodes 1-4 but slows in 5-6, with a rushed finale, unlike Paatal Lok's relentless intensity or The Night Of's taut arcs. Themes of corporate greed and justice resonate but lack Sacred Games's layered subtext. Deshmukh's nuanced portrayal, supported by Malhotra's menacing Gill, outshines Money Heist's ensemble but falls short of Succession's character depth. Production values are solid, with gritty Patiala visuals, though editing and music are functional, not iconic like The Valhalla Murders' chilling score.

Pill engages with its topical premise, sparking introspection about healthcare trust, but its emotional stakes are modest compared to Your Honor's family drama. For Indian audiences, it's grittier than Panchayat but less polished than Heeramandi. Globally, it shares The Undoing's investigative drive but lacks Money Heist's high stakes.

A compelling one-time watch, Pill is recommended for thriller fans and those interested in social issues.

Very very impressive and touchy web series actor are excellent. The story deals with reality of the health department. It's really very shocking to know about reality how the medical people works about genuinely and most of the related people hide and play game. Very dramatic and effective series. Love watch again and again. I really hats off to the director to deal with this cruel reality because every one is faced helth issues in his life and the people working for health how they deal with poor people and get credit.. beauty of the series is camera, direction, actors, story specially dialogues. Congratulations to all team.

It is very engaging series which is entertaining as well as eye opener !!

All characters have given justice to their part ! The best part which i think is they have not over complexed the plot and kept it straight and focused ! The pace and screenplay is engaging and kept viewers engaged !! Makers have make sure not to include unnecessary elements just to increase length

Coming to dialogues they are well written and go with the character

Overall good material for a binge watch !! Go for it without thought !!

Ritesh Deshmukh acting is fabulous especially his tone representing his roots from UP . Have really liked his series Doctor look !!
