Murshid

Murshid proves a rather conventional addition to the subgenre of Indian gangster dramas, but it is ultimately salvaged by a singular, commanding performance from Kay Kay Menon. The ZEE5 series, a seven-part affair, follows a retired gangster forced back into the seedy underbelly of Mumbai's crime scene.

The narrative, while competent, offers few surprises. Its restrained pace is a welcome change, yet it leaves several subplots feeling rather thin, particularly those involving the supporting cast. The show's real power, however, lies squarely with Menon. He brings a sublime, quiet gravitas to the titular role, imbuing Murshid with a formidable presence that elevates every scene.

One watches this series not for its predictable narrative beats, but simply to witness a master at work. Despite its minor shortcomings, the show is a perfectly serviceable binge-watch for anyone who appreciates acting of the highest calibre. It is a testament to the power of a truly great central turn.

Hope they continue with Season 2.

Although every single person is having good screen presence for themselves, KK Menon and Zakir Hussain have stolen the show. I have always been a super huge fan of their acting and never miss their movies or shows. The web series has a good pace although it's predictable. The whole web series uses less guns but more of strategic mind game and it doesn't bore you at all.

The story narration by the director is good and the calm though ruthless role played by Mr. Menon leaves a deep impact.

Mr. Zakir Hussain as usual and as expected is great in his expressions and acting throughout the series.

This is a good must watch web series if you like crime and political thrillers. Thumbs up !

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.

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.

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.
