Murshid

The web series Murshid proves once again how a brilliant actor like Kay Kay Menon can carry an entire story on his shoulders. The plot revolves around a gangster who starts from the ground up, eventually becoming the most infamous gangster around. But the real twist comes when his elder son dies in a tragic accident, and he decides to leave everything behind.

Yet, as always, destiny has its own plans. His comeback is driven by pure emotion, as he returns to the life he left behind, this time for his second and only surviving son.

You'll love Kay Kay Menon's performance and the clever, calculated mind of Murshid. The character's emotional depth and smart moves will keep you hooked. 7.5 stars from my side!

Although every single person is having good screen presence for themselves, KK Menon and Zakir Hussain have stolen the show. I have always been a super huge fan of their acting and never miss their movies or shows. The web series has a good pace although it's predictable. The whole web series uses less guns but more of strategic mind game and it doesn't bore you at all.

The story narration by the director is good and the calm though ruthless role played by Mr. Menon leaves a deep impact.

Mr. Zakir Hussain as usual and as expected is great in his expressions and acting throughout the series.

This is a good must watch web series if you like crime and political thrillers. Thumbs up !

Good film Smooth Narative and No unnecessary Drama or scenes. Screenplay, dialogues and story line was very apt and to the point without much melodrama or overhyping any character.

The director has potential. Very well acted by all actors , especially As always Menon. His personality as Don was superb.

Though much improvement in needed with production and Hindi film waala Feel to the whole reels. It was like a new director is debuting in 2001-2002 that was the film feeling while watching.. character actors need better as they were more like Producers or Directors friends then Actors.

Awaiting part Two, hope soon.

I really like the story line and the characters, so whoever wrote the story and screenplay did a good job. But the acting seems very weird in some portions, it's almost like the director didn't delve into the characters and language of the underworld. The supporrting actors didn't do a good job, I would say the actors weren't selected properly. These kind of series should have selections from good drama schools in the country or of people with previous experience. But some of the dialogues lack seriousness or relevance.

I am still in the middle of the series, and I am in the middle of a scene where the characters are hyping murshid without the story not supporting that hype yet. Does he require so much hype in every episode?

I just finished watching this series and I have to say, Kay Kay Menon's performance really carried the whole show. Despite the poor direction, I managed to get through it because of KKM. The episodes being under 40 minutes was definitely a plus (only because the direction was so poor, or else he is a delight). If they decide to make a second season, I really hope they choose a more experienced director. It was disappointing to see such a talented actor held back by lackluster direction, but Kay Kay Menon's performance was absolutely brilliant as always. If you're a fan of his, you won't be disappointed.
