Creatively Bankrupt Bollywood has again put forward a brainless,humourless, cringeworthy movie which will further erode the reputation of Hindi movie industry. First thing, is this a movie or chance to for forgotten actors and actresses (why being forgotten is best known to them) to revive their careers. And I am damn sure Akshay Kumar will do any movie however bad the script is if he is paid a handsome fee.

Now back to plot of this 2 hours 45 minutes movie, a billionaire dies on luxurious cruise ship with murderer on board, police comes to catch the murderer and solve the case, and there are people who are ready to be the heir to the billionaire and the chaos and drama that unfolds. Why this plot sounds like familiar? Probably because movie has been made on this plot previously not only in Bollywood but in Hollywood also with plot quite similar. It's high time movie producers in Bollywood invest more on writers to produce decent enough script to make audiences laugh and not to repeat used plots, cringe jokes which even fails to make you smirk.

Though with all the rights being sold for OTT, TV and other digital platforms producer will recover its investment, Good Luck in getting decent collection and reviews for general public.

The first Season was awesome to watch, a never seen disease turns into a pandemic causing havoc around the world and now a smuggler and a immune girl (only hope for humanity) must survive the infected people, a dictatorial system and some rebel groups to find the cure for the survival of humankind.

The first season of this apocalyptic survival drama is one the best I came across with each character has their own character development story and how they have survived all the events unfolding around them.

The Second season is more on revenge, pretty high on emotional quotient and less on survival and finding cure, which will probably be extended into season 3. A perfect survival drama has turned into a series for personal vendetta and revenge.

Since the Last of Us part II game itself has uncertain ending, I hope Craig Mazin finds the magic pen to write a perfect ending be it in Season 3 or Season 4 or beyond, otherwise another series which has perfect start will end like Game of Thrones.

This TVF creation moulded in the style of Panchayat series with village setting is the worst that I have seen of TVF, not even in the shadow of Panchayat and follows a series of disappointments that TVF has presented if YouTube shows are to be included. It is more for YouTube than for Amazon Prime.

Series started well but decline some what in middle and falls flat at the end. It should have been a genuine and educated doctor vs the quack but rather leaves this interesting plot line to pursue all together a different story. At one point I felt like the series is promoting the quack more than the genuine doctor and leaves too many ends to be tied.

Acting wise liked Anandeshwar Dwivedi as Phutani and Akash Makhija as Govind more than Amol Parashar as Dr Prashant and Vinay Pathak as quack. Overall acting is ok and the 2 songs are decent and likeable. Only now Panchayat can revive TVF.
