36 Days

Disappointing Finale to a Promising Start

"36 Days - Secrets are Injurious to Health" begins with an engaging premise, drawing viewers in with suspense and intrigue. The early episodes effectively build tension, with decent performances and a solid setup. Unfortunately, the series falters midway, losing its narrative focus and leaving viewers frustrated.

The plot, initially promising, becomes disjointed and bogged down by unnecessary subplots and inconsistent character arcs. Twists that should enhance the story feel predictable, and the dialogues lack originality. By the final episodes, the story spirals into chaos, leading to a rushed and shallow conclusion that leaves many questions unanswered.

While the production design and initial pacing are commendable, they cannot salvage a series that lacks cohesive storytelling. The talented cast is let down by weak writing, making their performances feel lackluster as the show progresses.

Overall, "36 Days" is a disappointing watch. Despite its strong start, it fails to deliver a satisfying narrative, making it hard to recommend. If you're looking for a gripping thriller with a well-crafted ending, this series may leave you disappointed.

Web Series Review: 36 Days Streaming on Sony LIV!!

Directed by Vishal Furia and Produced by Applause Entertainment along with BBC studios , 36 days is a crime thriller web series which takes viewers on a roller coaster ride in a story filled with love, lust , murder and intrigue!!

The arrival of a mysterious stranger Farah ( Neha Sharma) in a gated bungalow community in Goa sparks off a series of bizarre events , causing chaos and mayhem in the lives of the residents whose lives seem hunky dory on the outside , but r living with dark secrets buried deep in their hearts!!

Coming to the cast : Chandan Roy Sanyal as Tony, the lecherous & crass owner of the gated community impresses you the most . You will feel disgusted by his homophobic behaviour yet fall in love with his acting !! The star of the web series for sure 😊

Neha Sharma has acted decently as the mysterious stranger giving a restrained performance but definitely not her best .

Shruti Seth & Purab Kohli as the dysfunctional power couple have done well in their respective roles.

Amruta Khanwilkar as the loud, greedy and garrulous Lalita is funny in her own way. The talented Sharib Hashmi as her husband has played the role of a cuckolded hubby well.

Sushant Digwikar as the transgender Tarun/ Tanya has an important role and is impressive.

Shernaz Patel, Faizal Rashid & Kenneth Desai - weakest links in this story and their tale of woes takes away a lot from the narrative!! Cudve been better.

Overall the series moves in a very leisurely manner without any major twists till the final 3 episodes where the action actually happens.

U might also find the twist in the end , an anticlimax.

An interesting concept where the story moves in reverse - From the time the murder is committed (1st episode) to the reasons behind it ( going 36 days behind - 8th episode) . Not bad .. yet kuch toh missing lagta hai ... Not gripping enough,with lots of boring sub plots and loose ends in the script!!

The stellar starcast is not utilised fully!!

Going with 2.5/5 for this one.. adios 🙂

The series, '36 Days,' offers a unique glimpse into the often hidden underbelly of high society. It's a brave attempt to showcase the dark side of wealth and privilege, revealing the political games, superficiality, and hidden desires that lurk beneath the glamorous facade.

While the storyline is intriguing and the concept is fresh, the series falls short in delivering a truly thrilling experience. The lack of a gripping crime or suspense element leaves the viewer somewhat unsatisfied. The pacing feels uneven, and the characters, though well-intentioned, lack the depth to fully engage the audience.

The acting, in some parts, feels a bit forced, making it difficult to fully immerse oneself in the story. The series could have benefited from more nuanced performances that would have added a layer of complexity to the characters.

Perhaps the biggest disappointment is the ending. A thriller series often culminates in a shocking or unexpected twist that leaves a lasting impression. Unfortunately, '36 Days' fails to deliver such a climax.

Finally got round to watching this show,

A great adaptation of the original 2014 show 35 Diwrnod TV show, with a indian twist.

An excellent essemblement of cast, with Neha Sharma being the star of the show. Her charater Farah Zaidi was perfectly played, with her charm and sexy looks.

Neha Sharma looks gorgeous, has brilliantly acted the character of Farah Zaidi (Jan Richards (played by Lois Jones) in the BBC show).

An excellent series that will keep you on the edge of your seat... Hopefully another season soon..

Murder... Mystery... Suspense... and Neha Sharma.. what more could you ask for.
