Murshid

The New Web Series Murshid proves once again that Kay Kay Menon can play any role with Uttar Perfectionml. He is no doubt one of the brilliant Actors of Bollywood today. Menon can make a dull theme attractive and worthy to watch.

The plot of the Film is not new. There is nothing new in this Web Series that repeats the theme of rivalry among gangsters to dominate the underworld of Mumbai. The Bollywood has experimented the theme repeatedly. The Web Series no doubt tries to depict the underworld Gangster-Police-Politician cocktail in a different way. The projection of an underworld having humanistic approach is also not new taking into consideration the Films made so far. However, in some points the Web Series tries to prove reality of Mumbai and the inherent crime and mafia rule r convincingly. The Coriography and site Selection for some scenes to shoot exposes personal life of those involved in the Crime World of Mumbai. But the Web Series by no means a Crime Thriller and the element of Suspense is missing.

Kay Kay Menon takes forward the entire action in this Web Series. The character Murshid has been projected as a Gangsters with great Accountability for the society. Kay Kay Menon has made the only difference in in this Web Series. This is not a negative character. But Menon has performed in an excellent manner. However, portrayal of Robinhood is nothing new in Indian cinema. But the performances of Menon gives elevation to the Web Series. Menon has been simply brilliant in whatever role he has played during the last few years. Both his dialogue delivery, facial expression and gesture have been excellent during this Web Series.

But Kay Kay Menon Shines and outshines others For the Menon-fans. Menon has really proved . To watch Menon playing a brilliant role, one may watch and enjoy.

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.

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.

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?

Murshid is a film that had the potential to be a masterpiece, thanks to its gripping storyline and the intensity of its narrative. The film weaves a tale that is both profound and engaging, taking the audience on an emotional journey that is both relatable and thought-provoking. However, despite this strong foundation, Murshid ultimately falls short due to a series of missteps in its execution, particularly in terms of direction and dialogue.

The storyline of Murshid is undeniably its strongest asset. The plot is intricate and well-crafted, with layers that slowly unravel as the movie progresses. It is the kind of story that demands your full attention, as each scene builds upon the last to create a complex and engaging narrative. The themes explored in Murshid are deep and resonant, touching on issues of identity, loyalty, and the human condition. The story manages to strike a balance between being both universal and deeply personal, making it relatable to a wide audience while still maintaining a sense of intimacy.

However, the film's potential is severely undermined by its direction. The director seems to have a vision that is unclear and inconsistent, which results in a film that feels disjointed and uneven. There are moments where the pacing is off, with scenes dragging on unnecessarily or cutting away too quickly, leaving the audience feeling unsatisfied. The visual style of the film is also lacking, with certain scenes feeling flat and uninspired. It is clear that the director struggled to bring the story to life in a way that does justice to the material.

The dialogue in Murshid is another significant weakness. Good dialogue should be natural and engaging, serving to enhance the story and develop the characters. Unfortunately, the dialogue in Murshid often feels forced and unnatural. There are moments where the characters' conversations are stilted, lacking the flow and rhythm that good dialogue should have. This not only detracts from the overall experience but also makes it difficult to fully connect with the characters and their struggles. The clunky dialogue disrupts the film's emotional impact, making it harder for the audience to become fully immersed in the story.

Despite these issues, Murshid is redeemed by the extraordinary performances of its lead actors, Kay Kay Menon and Zakir Hussain. Both actors deliver performances that are nothing short of remarkable, bringing depth and nuance to their characters that elevate the entire film. Kay Kay Menon, in particular, is a standout, delivering a performance that is both powerful and subtle. He has an incredible ability to convey complex emotions with just a glance or a slight change in expression, making his character feel real and relatable. Zakir Hussain is equally impressive, bringing a quiet intensity to his role that perfectly complements Menon's more expressive performance.

The chemistry between Menon and Hussain is palpable, and their scenes together are some of the most compelling in the film. They manage to bring a sense of authenticity to their characters that is missing from the rest of the film, making it easy to get lost in their performances. It is clear that both actors put a great deal of thought and effort into their roles, and their hard work pays off in a big way.

In conclusion, Murshid is a film that had the potential to be great, but ultimately falls short due to poor direction and weak dialogue. The story is compelling, and the performances by Kay Kay Menon and Zakir Hussain are exceptional, but these strengths are not enough to fully overcome the film's shortcomings. Despite its flaws, Murshid is worth watching for the performances alone, and for the story that lies at its core. It is a film that will leave you thinking, even if it doesn't quite deliver on its full potential.

If I were to rate Murshid solely based on the performances of Kay Kay Menon and Zakir Hussain, it would easily earn 10 stars. However, as a complete film, it is a mixed bag-one that leaves you wondering what could have been with a stronger hand at the helm.
