The Fame Game

As expected The fame game rides on the shoulders of strong and convincing acting of Madhuri Dixit only. This series clearly narrates how ugly is Bollywood behind the glittering glamour world. It is not exactly a thriller but more of Drama with some mystery and thriller element. In case you are Fan of Madhuri Dixit than it is must watch but in case you are not Madhuri fan and want to watch thriller or Mystery than there is lot to watch on OTT.

It's like serving a stale and bland food by an international multicuisine restaurant. The show tries to cash on the fame of Madhuri Dixit, but unfortunately makers forgot to work on the story. You feel cheated by the end of the show after dedicating many hours of your busy day on a show which yields nothing. Very stale and predictable story with a choice of very bad and undertrained actors and above all worst than anything writing. I have given rating of 4 just for the sake of "Manav kaul" because he tried to keep this sinking ship afloat. And please netflix stop underestimating indian audience in the name of thrillers, thats disrespectful.

It has become a trend to stretch a story beyond what it can. Totally defines the greed of the producers for earning more money. Problem is that ends up becoming a major headache for the viewer which is rather frustrating! This one started on a highly promising note with Madhuri rocking in each and every frame but the story and screenplay drag...This could have been avoided had it all been packed in a tight 6 episodes instead of 8. A good example would be Bestseller(Shruti Hassan) on Amazon Prime, perfectly finishes when it should. Dharma productions need to learn that for the upcoming ones.

This is the story of an actress who is clinging on to her fame and her wealth despite being manipulated by her own mother and husband.

Madhuri as the centre piece of this whodunit puzzle is convincing, rest of the senior support cast is good but most of the heavy lifting is done by new stars who play Madhuri's children and an obsessed fan.

Their struggles around her fame and their own vulnerability as well as sense of entitlement is very well portrayed / captured on screen.

Overall the show is good with a wonderful twist in the end!

It is the young actors who shine bright in this series and elevate it a few notches from passable to an exciting 1 time watch.

I don't know why there are so negative comments, honestly I felt this is good series with combination of thriller and drama. Everyone acted outstandingly, I didn't watch the trailer and was not awaiting for it, suddenly watched this from Netflix Home Screen and it was really worth of my time.
