Honeymoon Photographer

Story- 2/5 Script- 1:5 Actors-4/5, except plastic females Acting- 4/5 Location- 5/5 Cinematography- 3/5 Music- 5/5

It is a murder mystery. The movie revolves around-

High societies- lack of trust and transparency, broken families, it's all about money, buy anything.

And on the other end- working class, principles, belief system, processes and policies.

And then corrupt cops and, good cops.

And comic characters as fat policeman always sneezing etc. It works no longer guys- wake up!!

Off course it boils down to fraud, corruption and money. This time Pharma industry.

The story just dies on the 3rd episode. Only the 1st episode has a pull and that is what keeps the audience going. Sad to see that surprise elements were not handed well due to sad direction and script.

The only good news is that there are no drugs. But lead actors with plastic on their faces is so sad! They seem to have lost their plot.

Such a pathetic end. So predicable. It was like a children stupid game. Keeping jumping between suspects.

There are so many simple but much better movies around.

This one is just avoidable.

Good potential but because of poor acting and weak screenplay end with one of worst show of this year. Non serious and very very weak screenplay.

All the things went poor. Below average acting, background music and story went too bad.

Don't waste time to watch this show.

Female leads are made eye candy and had not done their role seriosuly. Jokingly take the reference of cult classics like ocean 11-13.

One of the poorest scripts i have ever seen.

No chemistry between wizard and female photographer. So much illogical and trash won't make any sense after few episodes. Disappointed and watlste of time.

The first episode is good, but after that, it becomes dull and monotonous. This series is a clear example of how a great concept can suffer from poor execution. What starts with promise quickly turns into a pedestrian watch.

After the first two episodes, the storyline drags, making it easy to lose interest. Acting-wise, everyone is just okay-nothing extraordinary. It's the kind of series you can keep on in the background while multitasking without missing much.

If you're short on time, just watch the first and last episode-you won't feel like you missed anything. Largely looks like a story written by novice writer without any understanding of how to build a character and motive.

Anwar Says: Murder mysteries are difficult to narrate and the role of script writer is of equal importance as of the director. This Jiocinema release has the right direction and started with a Hollywood kind of web series but script was not smart enough to keep the audience stick to the edge of seat.

Actors are good, specially the lead Asha Negi , visible in almost every frame. Rightly not many sub-plots were chosen and the background introduction of characters are short. Normally, on OTT , producers take the web series to 8-9 episodes by introducing these gimmicks. Overall, the casting is B- class and the characters of Police Officers are below average.

Suspense is predictable and thrill is missing. Learnt a new word- PRENUP - meaning a pre- nuptial agreement regarding ownership of respective asset by couple, if the marriage fails. Still watchable because of cinematography and efforts of actors.

I stumbled upon this murder mystery, and with Asha Negi headlining it, there are two good reasons to give it a go: I love murder mysteries, and I find Asha to be a talented actor.

The story follows a honeymoon photographer who becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a newlywed groom. With everyone harboring secrets, she must clear her name before facing a possible sentence.

The series has a promising start, introducing the characters and setting the dynamics between them. However, the police procedures come off as childish, with the officers behaving like novices. The show isn't gritty or overly serious, so it never feels boring. Surprisingly, for its genre, it's a lighthearted watch. The twist in the plot is well-executed, and it keeps you guessing until a few episodes in.

Asha Negi delivers a solid performance, bringing depth to her character, which has quite a few layers. Jason Tham plays an endearing friend and does his part well. Rajeev Siddhartha is decent, though his performance feels a bit repetitive. Apeksha Porwal and Sahil Salathia, as the newlyweds, fit their roles well and add to the story.

Cinematographically, it works, with scenes set in Goa that add a chill vibe to the narrative. Even the Mumbai sequences are captured aesthetically. A little more work on the script could have enhanced the series, especially by adding more strategic police tactics or creative escapes by the suspects.

It's not groundbreaking, but if you're looking for a light watch, this one could definitely make it to your list.
