Tooth Pari: When Love Bites

Watched 3 episodes. So far so good.

A vampire comedy in the zone of Taika Watiti's "what we do in the Shadows" and probably inspired by the same, which is evident by the lighthearted and playful mood. But the world-building, the setup, and the characters are original and interesting and not copied.

Also, the title "Tooth Pary" itself suggests that the makers are not taking it too seriously, and neither should the audience, they should have fun while watching it.

A great ensemble cast includes veterans like Adil Hussain, Revathy, and Saswata Chatterjee.

Looking forwards to the remaining episodes, will update after completing the series.

The story was greatly immersive especially the acting of the characters so yeah in short please watch this series. Now in long, story might be feeling too tedious and not well managed but this series age like a fine wine especially after episode 4 and most importantly you may feel this plot is some kind of a rip off, of any vampire Hollywood series or movie but actually it is just a story independent of its own. The perspective of who's on the right side and who is on the wrong side might be changing throughout the series and some characters might feel annoying at first but they indeed as this first season ends basically all become quite useful. Meanwhile the ending was the best part of the series with few hints regarding season 2. So yeah I think Netflix should start making its season 2.

Well, it indeed has an engaging story line that falls in the realm of vampire and human romance. Even though some of the dialogues are a bit over the top kind of that can make one feel that they could have been tightened up, but still the story has enough in it to keep one interested till the last. That 'enough' is the love story between a vampire and a dentist. There are so many shades of the characters involved that one feels captivated. Like Rumi, her tragic human experience, her frustration after breaking up with the doctor and engaging in more mindlessness with sub-insoector Pal, portrays her vulnerability and a certain degree of human like frailties. Reminded me of the saying: 'Perfectionism is a delusion that dangles like carrot for purists to romanticize while inperfectionism rules the roost as evergreen and trendy perfectionism.' If the makers decide to make a season 2 they must ensure the dialogues, in some cases, are more polished. All in all, this version was an engaging watch.

The Director has done a lot of hard work in this series which reflects from each and every scene of the series. The direction has its loose ends. Though the series at first takes good pace and puts audience in a suspense mode but at the end it leaves some loose ends which will create many questions among the audiences about the series and the consequences of the actions of the characters of the series. The acting of the whole cast is praise worthy. The editing is smooth. I think this series should have been released as a movie in theaters . I am sure it would have attracted box office collections. The Director has beautifully depicted the old lanes of Kolkata city and its bangaliana. Sikander Kher speaking bengali words reminds me of the tone used by Mithun Chakraborty in his hey days while pronouncing bengali words. Overall the series is watchable and enjoyable excluding some minor plot holes.

It is definitely fresh take for Indian show involving vampires and making love its central theme around it . This show actually took time to make me interested after 3 episodes. It might happen with you as well . Actually story was fresh and unique to me thats what made me to go for this show but at some point ,I felt direction of some vital scenes could be better .

Directions of some vital scenes made me disappointed , I wish it could have better directions to make us feel more emotional towards story but none of these is taking away anything from story. Story is still fine and fresh which will keep you intrigued.

Each individual's performance is commendable and cinematography is fabulous. Talking about its narrative , this shows tend to show how society is somewhat cruel towards women throughout long decades to even now which is true . It tries to break the barriers and norms set up by society and make our girl central character to whom story revolves around which was pleasing to watch . Few times show try to teach audience which is totally fine with me as long as I support them and I did support them but only one scene pissed me off which I can call body shaming towards man which you will get to know . And also in that same scene, trying to show pre-martial physical relations to make look "good" to audience is also "not right" . I am not saying it is bad either . I think it should be left upon the partners to decide and no one should influence their decision ,not even parents.

In this show everyone's character is given perfect motivations making it hard to determine who is right and wrong. It all depends upon the circumstances in which they are.

Overall, this show deserves a 7-star rating and is the above average show for a free time watch.
