Web series review: School of Lies streaming on Disney+ Hotstar

Set in the fictional Dalton Town nestled in the hills, the disappearance of a 12 year old boy Shakti from the prestigious RISE boarding school rocks the entire town with the police twiddling their thumbs, clueless about the whereabouts of the boy. Will they succeed in finding Shakti especially when there are so many myths and stories concocted about his behaviour and character by his friends and seniors. There is also a parallel plot of some wrong doings ( won't reveal much !!) going on in the school (drugs, illicit sex etc).

The cast is the strong point of this series with Nimrat Kaur ( as the student counselor) , Amir Bashir( a housemaster at RISE) , Vir Pachasia ( the kid who has played Shakti) & the 2 seniors TK & Vikram have really done full justice to their roles.

The damp, gloomy, foggy ambience in the hills goes a long way in creating a spooky vibe that is essential for the for plot.

The story however moves at a snails pace and gets very tedious to watch at times. Yawn alert!! Could have been a bit fast paced. People who like "slowburn's" will enjoy it though.

8 episodes are a bit too many for this series which should've ended in perhaps 6.

Worth a dekho !! Not the greatest, but not bad either!!

Going with 3/5 for this one .. adios 🙂

It's a must watch Web series which is very creating suspense. All actors did their best. The acting skills by Aryan Singh Ahlawat are adorable. He really did a magnificent job. This series provides deep insight to life of students in Indian school. Young actors have shown their mind blowing acting skills. It is an eye opening story well Very nice drama Very nice creativity with lots of suspense. Proud of Haryana,Director is also excellent The views and Visuals were amazing and really gave you that feeling if being present in the ambience of a boarding school in the hills. Congratulations! Best of luck.

One of the boldest yet most sensitive series on Indian ott yet. Don't let the newly conservative reviewers fool you. This series is as state-of-the-art as so many other murder mystery bbc productions out there. Almost every actor understood the assignment well and enacted great. The story hits the shoddy value and conservative system out of the park. Consent, morality and evilness are woven in a tangled web. Even the supposed victim can be pure evil. Even the supposed evil can be merely a victim himself. Such questions are superbly raised and the viewer is left to ponder. Scenery, cinematography, performances, everything is top notch. No sex scenes to titilate. Just tragedies unfolding on your screen.

The makers here have shown a hostel and what students and teachers do and what it ends up

The content is as simple as shown in the teaser of a missing boy from a hostel and how other stories are linked with the missing..the series started at a good note but then from the 4 th episode it seems they were dragging the main content with other stories which had completely no connection with the missing boy..the series is extremely slow in 8 long episodes...the climax what we waited for was such a loose one and unfolded that it feels a lot of time was wasted

Amir , nimrat, Sonali, Hemant all were wasted by giving small roles these actors are meant to play strong lead roles..the boys played a good role like vir aryan Varin divyansh and parthiv

The bad luck of this series is that it was released with 2 big series scoop and asur 2 so was kept aside.
