Murshid

I just finished watching this series and I have to say, Kay Kay Menon's performance really carried the whole show. Despite the poor direction, I managed to get through it because of KKM. The episodes being under 40 minutes was definitely a plus (only because the direction was so poor, or else he is a delight). If they decide to make a second season, I really hope they choose a more experienced director. It was disappointing to see such a talented actor held back by lackluster direction, but Kay Kay Menon's performance was absolutely brilliant as always. If you're a fan of his, you won't be disappointed.

Good film Smooth Narative and No unnecessary Drama or scenes. Screenplay, dialogues and story line was very apt and to the point without much melodrama or overhyping any character.

The director has potential. Very well acted by all actors , especially As always Menon. His personality as Don was superb.

Though much improvement in needed with production and Hindi film waala Feel to the whole reels. It was like a new director is debuting in 2001-2002 that was the film feeling while watching.. character actors need better as they were more like Producers or Directors friends then Actors.

Awaiting part Two, hope soon.

Mumbai mafia crime series with a simple yet gripping story line and some authentic characters. Kay Kay Menon carries the series effortlessly on his lanky frame but at times you wish there were some stronger antagonists and one also misses a meaningful female lead. The symbiotic relationship between politics and organized crime is shown in a pretty matter of fact manner. On the political side, the story oversimplifies the Muslim vote. The familial legacy has a ring of truth to it. The Dubai connection feels a bit trite. Some of the supporting cast could have performed to a higher acting standard. Look forward to Season 2.

I really like the story line and the characters, so whoever wrote the story and screenplay did a good job. But the acting seems very weird in some portions, it's almost like the director didn't delve into the characters and language of the underworld. The supporrting actors didn't do a good job, I would say the actors weren't selected properly. These kind of series should have selections from good drama schools in the country or of people with previous experience. But some of the dialogues lack seriousness or relevance.

I am still in the middle of the series, and I am in the middle of a scene where the characters are hyping murshid without the story not supporting that hype yet. Does he require so much hype in every episode?

If you are a thriller movie types, this would definitely prove to be a good entertainer. Though the emotional plot was useless, and after the first few episodes, rest of the plot seemed stretched for no reason, but still, JUST. FOR THE INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE OF KAY KAY MENON, especially after Shekhar Home, this one is pure class after a long time.

Rest of the cast does a good job altogether.

Good time pass. Anyway, the last episode seemed quite predictable and the curiosity dies long before the final climax ,..makers could have cleaned up the messy plot after the 4th episode only, which would have given this series a more crispy version. Still, Menon's acting is totally classy.
