The Fame Game

The show is boring. Do not waste your time on it. The episodes could have been shorter and the writing could have been crisper. Lost interest after episode 3. Mediocre writing.

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.

The Fame Game tells the story of the most popular actress India, Anamika Anand (played by Madhuri Dixit) who is living two lives - one of a superstar and one of a dedicated wife, mother, friend, mentor and a loner, who is forced to make choices. The main event triggers when the India's most loved star disappears all of sudden and neither her family nor her friends have any clue about it. What follows next is the hunt, investigation and interrogations which includes dark secrets and fantasies of the superstar and her beloved people.

The Fame Game, kind of, pays tribute to the shining star in every possible way by breaking into her song, Chane Ke Khet Mein, or divulging into her scene from her previous films. This will definitely be a treat to her fans.

Unfortunately, the web series starts of well but loses the focus later with wafer-thin script which could have been sharper and convincing in this eight episode glamour drama. The editing should have been tighter with few episodes trimmed down to make it a better watch. Even though the cracks start appearing in the plot, the performances of the actors will keep you hooked coupled with grandeur sets, astounding back ground score and above all - Madhuri Dixit

The Fame Game belongs to the epitome of talent, Madhuri Dixit, who shines bright in each and every scene that will make you fall in love with her.

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.
