Bestseller

Best Seller is an Average thriller where you can easily guess the end within fifty percent of its run time. Story is simple. An ambitious but less talented author used a true Story of a family in his books and which easily becomes a best seller. But the impact is such which almost ruins that family. Now the brother and sister duo of that family make a plan to get revenge against that author. Too much unfolding of suspence too early make the best seller highly predictive from the first episode itself. But still you can watch it upto last episode due to sound performance of all the casts. Perfomence of Arjan Bajwa as ambitious author Tahir Wajir is good. Gauahar Khan as Tahir's wife is fantastic. Bother Sister duo Satyajeet Dubey and Shruti Hassan as Parha Acharya and Meetu Mathur fulfill the needs of the script. But as a central character Shruti Hassan should be better because she got the ample scope with different shades in the Webseries. But ultimately Mithun Chakraborty as ACP Lokesh Pramanik steals the show. His style of acting , comic timing, emotions grip the Webseries particularly in the latter half. Though there is a reflection of Anil Kapoor and Samira Reddy's role of race in Mithun and Sonali Kulkarni's role in this web series. Slow starter Best Seller gets the momentum when Mithun enters the series in the third episode. But still it is strictly average with predictive end. The series highly justified one of the dialogue of that series which indicates end is fixed before the starting of a book.

Seriously very old and repeated story.... Big faces with boring story. No new concept. Family revenge as a very common storyline. Sheuti Haasan didn't need to have done this.

I don't know why Shruthi is wearing contacts. There is no reason for her to do so. It's on the face and very noticeable at close ups. Her acting too is so bad. It's so evident of her innocent acting that isn't digestible. Even Satyajeet Dubey is very below average but as episodes go by, his acting feels OK as per his character. Everyone else are actually good in their acting especially Arjan Bajwa & Gauahar Khan. I am not a Gauahar fan but she has acted real good. I am a huge Mithun da fan but Mithun's character could have been played by anyone because it isn't anything special and is a dumb character because though the series tries to show that he is intelligent by doing something or understanding what others don't but that's not intelligence. That's bad writing of the character. Seriously Mithun da is wasted here.

The story is intriguing but when the reasons are revealed, the entire series falls flat. I understand who, why and what but the casting, the acting & the missing soul of the series made this a waste of my time.

I don't know why I am giving 6 star here. I mean I enjoyed watching the series because I watched it at one go. But in the mean time couldn't tolerate the pathetic acting of Shruti. Story was some extent to okay but for me it was way predictable. Ending seems like the longer version of Haseen Dillruba! Having Mixture feelings tbh.

Anwar Says : Adaptation of Ravi Subramaniam 2015 novel, Bestseller, She wrote, is a dark suspense thriller and revolves around a cocky and egotist author and his entanglement with a small town fan. The book name adapted from Kabir's Doha Rand , Saandh , Seedhi , Sanyasi and the stolen story is from a family of imaginary town Rajisi and the revenge .

Mukul Abhyankar, the director gave Mithun Chakravorty his first break on OTT and he doesn't disappoint. Shruti Hassan got a lifetime role and played brilliantly the simpering woman's role. Arjan Bajwa fits in his role of author Tahir Wazir after two episodes only. The cutest is Gauhar Khan , an alpha woman with a poise .

The part I didn't like is the predictable suspense and the series carries only on the shoulders of the strong cast. Despite no dearth of angles of twists, the series lack of suspense and thrill makes it ordinary. Still watchable for its simmering effects. 5 out of 10 from me .
