Kathmandu Connection

Like super boring. The plot keeps twisting for no reason and one would keep losing interest after each episodes. Amit Sialis a good actor but I doubt if he justified this web series.

Overall watch at your own risk or else u can watch repeat episodes of any tv serials on Sonyliv anyways.

Kathmandu Connection has many interesting elements in its storyline, it is loosely based on the much done subject of the early 2000s, The Dawood Ibrahim-Chota Rajan rivalry set as the backdrop and a cop story in the foreground. Despite some good actors, a nice technical team and a decent run time, Kathmandu Connection is let down and botched up royally by the screenplay department singlehandedly.

Cinematography is neat throughout the six episode mini series. Editing is good in keeping the total runtime to just over 200 minutes. Screenplay is a big downer that lets down all other good work quite sadly. Production design, though they have worked hard for the 1990s look, there are some glaring errors like LCD tvs and cell phones that were non existent in the early 90s. Costumes and makeup was average along with the music. On the acting front Amit Sial shines with very little support from the other actors in the series. His portrayal of a DCP is pretty accurate.

Overall, though the series has some elements based on real events, like the fallout between Dawood Ibrahim-Chota Rajan just after the 1993 Bombay serial blasts, their all out gang war, the assassination of Nepali MP Mirza beg, the lack of further research and some lazy writing hurts Kathmandu Connection big time. The series is still of watchable quality despite its huge shortcomings, sans major expectations. 5.8 stars out of 10 for Kathmandu Connection for its honest attempt to try something new in the place of a regular run a mill story. Watch it only when you have absolutely nothing else to do.

Storyline is pathetic. Lead investigating officer(Anurag Arora) and main opposite role( Gopal Datt) actor's are nice but ,all other performances are average. Lead actor is also struggling in romantic dialogs.

Also. A Certain community is shown as victim and community people are getting shown as running as orphanage. And portrayed that particular community people are not culprit instead they are victim.

The show was only meant to show the police in bad light and a particular community in a good one. There seems to be a sudden rise of these kind of shows off late and when pointed out, then playing the victim card.

There is a freedom of speech and we have a choice of whether to watch it or not but I didn't expect this from SonyLiv which has produced some classy shows till now. A big thumbs down.

No story, unnecessary sub plots and funny twist. Do not waste your time and money on such series.
