Choona

Absolutely, your dissatisfaction resonates. The initial episode held promise, but sadly, the show spiraled into a quagmire of clichés and oversimplified narratives. The communal angle, especially, is disappointingly one-dimensional. It portrays the peaceful community as constant victims, amplifying the "love jihad" concept - a narrative that is not only outdated but also divisive.

It's almost like the series is tailored to appease a particular segment rather than presenting a balanced, nuanced story. It's 2023, and yet, we are served reheated leftovers of communal narratives that do nothing to foster unity or reflect the complex, multifaceted reality of our society.

The real sting lies in the predictability and the lack of depth - each episode is a step further away from the engaging, intricate plotlines we crave, and a step closer to a monotonous echo of the same old song. Even Jimmy's commendable acting couldn't salvage a story that was set up to be mundane.

Those who are saying bad things about web series.. I may agree but there are many things which are good to watch or I can say entertaining.

A sort and simple words review is below.

Shukla and all characters are good and makes it engaging but after a moment you'll feel its boring just because of it's length of some scenes.

They stretched some scenes like they make the web series boring but shukla's dialogues and it's planetary belief makes it intresting. Heist have many twist and turns.. If you like good work.. Watch it.. I liked it.. Shukla makes story a worth watch a lot.

Review of Choona by itsbymayank - Mayank Bharat Bhushan Louteriya.

The scriptwriters have masterfully crafted a story that balances drama, humor, and suspense, creating a perfect concoction of emotions that resonates with the viewers. The dialogues are sharp, witty, and impactful, showcasing the writers' understanding of human nature and their ability to capture the essence of complex relationships. The pacing of the story is expertly handled, keeping the audience engaged while allowing the plot to unfold naturally. It's evident that meticulous planning and attention to detail have gone into the writing process, making the series a delightful rollercoaster of emotions.

The strength of "Choona" lies in its diverse and unique characters, each of whom brings their own flavor to the table. From the brooding protagonist to the quirky sidekick, every character is well-developed and multi-dimensional. Their individual story arcs are carefully explored, giving viewers insight into their motivations, fears, and aspirations. This depth of characterization allows the audience to connect with the characters on a personal level, making their triumphs and tribulations all the more impactful. Moreover, the series doesn't shy away from portraying the imperfections of its characters, making them relatable and human.

Another commendable aspect of "Choona" is its great comic timing. Humor is seamlessly woven into the narrative, providing moments of lightheartedness amidst the intense drama. The comedy in the series is organic, arising from the characters' personalities and the situations they find themselves in. The well-timed jokes and witty one-liners not only elicit genuine laughter but also serve to deepen the audience's emotional connection with the characters. The balance between humor and serious themes is struck with finesse, making the viewing experience both entertaining and thought-provoking.

This is a regular heist show, nothing new or exceptional, but still fun.

The acting talent in this show is fabulous. Jimmy Shergil is a great actor who hasn't really gotten his due yet. This may not do it but he developed his character very well.

The entire team does their bit well. Triloki was my fav and JP was frustrating with his constant negativity - but a really great representation of how people are. Arshad Warsi was a fabulous narrator though at times there was too much narration.

I get that some of the international audiences found the whole representation of astrology a bit much but tbh its not far-fetched at all🙈 I actually know a family that designed their bathrooms based on such advice 😆

The representation of politicians and their greed/grime is so true of several Indian CMs who either build malls in front of slums for money or thug slums in front of malls for vote banks 😁 Overall its a fun watch.

This review is based on watching the audio in the original language without subtitles. A lot of the humour is lost in the translation which often happens.

Also for those who have an issue with the name of the series - choona is a name for lime/whitewash but in slang it also means conning or fooling another!

Jimmy shergill at its best , loved his performance in Your honor series and after that this series is going to be highlight of his power pack acting skills. Apart from him , the cast is spot on , all the actors justify their roles and the dynamics on screen are well blended with one other.

In a Nutshell, it's a political drama which is quite in this days on the webseries platform and its an interesting take towards it with new elements added such as quite heavy use of VFx alongwith the real characters.

It's such a binge that will glue you on to your seats until it ends . So enjoy and can't wait for season 2 !!!!
