Reeta Sanyal

This show is a new low for TV, and it's painfully obvious that it was never made with any ambition to achieve anything. It's just garbage content thrown together to grab eyeballs. I certainly didn't plan to watch it, but I ended up catching a solid 40 minutes (like 2 episodes, way more than I could stomach) while my mom was watching it on TV. And trust me - that was enough.

I don't even know where to begin with this mess. It feels like every department just phoned it in - like they didn't care at all. The entire production lacks originality; it's a sloppy mashup of poorly copied ideas that just don't work together.

The costume and makeup? Absolutely horrendous. It looks like they picked stuff up from a bargain bin and threw it on without a second thought. And the cast - it's like they specifically chose people who can't act. Half the time, they seem just as lost as the audience, like they were never told what the scene was about or where the story was going.

The cinematography was almost laughable, with Tiktok-like transitions that belong in a 15-second clip, not a feature-length show. Scenes would jump so abruptly that it was genuinely jarring, completely destroying any potential for a cohesive storyline.

This is the worst thing I've seen in a while - just a lazy excuse of a show, pumping out content without care or creativity.

Following trend is also a trend. But that never means swimming with the tide. This is true that celluloid portrayal of crime thriller is today's craze. But one cannot ignore the significance of the composite word crime-thriller. This means a movie or web series must have the potentiality to thrill the viewers. The primary attraction of those films and web series made on legal battle on crime is to provide thrilling experience to the audience. Mere projection of crimes in an irrational and insensible manner can never be called a movie or the new age incarnation web series.

But What about Abhirup Ghosh directed Reeta Sanyal web series? The content claims action thriller web series. But how can one call Reeta Sanyal web series at all? It has utterly failed or deliberately ignored the basic requirements of cinematic art. This boring visual has failed in all departments. The storyline is not only weak and incoherent but there is enough reason to doubt whether this can be called a story at all. Naturally, it is next to impossible to find out the plot and genre in this so-called web series. Similarly, Reeta Sanyal is certainly one of the worst contents depicting courtroom in Indian cinema. This rather proves the level of declined creative bankruptcy. Same is true in case of direction and choreography of this. It has failed to ensure minimum standard.

The rest of the damage has been ensured by the actors and actresses seem as if they are yet to get ready for the first shot in a cinema. The reputed names like Adah Sharma, Manik Papneja and others seem in a mood of rehearsal during the entire web series. Except Rahul Deb, nobody seemed to be having the least sense of acting and cinema. How such unprofessional persons think of film making? This question is very relevant. This is beyond imagination that the performance of some can be so poor at this level. Really, miserable experience.

But this is hard to believe that they are ignorant of this. They cerainly knew that the content has no merit. Now see the tactical approach. After much hypes when the time came to release the web series, it released only the first episode. Total five episodes have been released so far. On 14th October it released episode 1, on 15th episode 2, on 16th episode 3, on 17th episode 4 and on 18th episode 5. The series did not end. However, on 19th and 20th October it released no episode. This seems a strategy of the Reeta Sanyal web series makers. They tried to befool the audience. They knew that if all the episodes get released on a single day, its popularity graph would drastically drop down. In this age when rating and reviews have become decisive factors to make movie or web series successful or flop, the web series makers did not want to take that risk. But this rather exposes them. They think viewers are fools. However, after the release of 5 episodes, it is evident that the content can't get momentum with such approach. Quality content does not need to build strategy to attract viewers. But can rubbish content attain success in this manner? The message is loud and clear; success needs potentiality and deliberation. There is no short route. This is not important whether the crew of Reeta Sanyal web series admits this. They may or may not. But if film makers try befooling the audience, they will lose the remaining space. In my view Reeta Sanyal is the worst content of 2024 so far. I must say abstain from watching this.

Adah Sharma's performance in Reeta Sanyal is nothing short of brilliant. She has a rare gift for comedy-her expressions, delivery, and natural charm make her a joy to watch. While many actors rely on exaggerated performances to land a joke, Adah's approach is refreshingly organic, making every moment feel spontaneous yet perfectly timed. Her infectious energy ensures that even the quirkiest of scenes never feel overdone. But beyond her comedic prowess, she brings depth to her character, making sure that she's not just there for laughs but to add heart to the story. Adah's range as an actress continues to expand, and with every new project, she proves that she's a dynamic performer who can handle any genre with grace and confidence.

There are actors, and then there are performers who light up the screen effortlessly-Adah Sharma is the latter. Reeta Sanyal is yet another testament to her incredible range as an actress. Her ability to handle humor with precision, her impeccable expressions, and her undeniable charisma make this film a delightful watch. Comedy is not just about delivering funny lines; it's about timing, energy, and spontaneity-all of which Adah executes with ease. What truly makes her stand out is how she immerses herself in the role, making every scene she's in feel fresh and engaging. With her undeniable talent and effortless charm, Adah continues to prove that she's not just a versatile actress but a true entertainer.

Akdom bakwas series hai...too lengthy and impractical. The court scenes, the investigations, crime scene areas, every single thing is so childish. Such a waste of time and internet. I don't understand why is hotstar allowing such productions. They used to maintain some class earlier now every other day there are some new hotstar specials and everything is full of rubbish. There was a time when series like special ops released, and now all this rubbish. The police is shown to have some supernatural powers to provide evidence and the court scenes are mockery in the name of law. And multiple episodes just stretching the show for nothing.
