Laakhon Mein Ek

In this era of gauche, phony, and bad-quality content on our TV sets, a web series like "Laakhon Mein Ek" gives us a ray of hope. People want to consume edgy and good quality content, TV does not give us that opportunity because it is filled with clichéd and dumb soap operas.

Biswa Kalyan Rath's web series "Laakhon Mein Ek" does wonders and it is an eye-opener. It is an invigorating experience to see the real-life predicaments are depicted on screen with a sheer brilliance.

These six episodes perfectly illustrate the life of a teenager, who is laden with the affliction on his shoulders. Parents push the envelope and force their children live their shallow dreams, just to showcase and create a distinction in the so-called society.

The writing is impeccable, it sums up all the nuances of a typical coaching center and successfully elaborates the students' ordeal. All the characters are drawn immaculately and every actor gives a fantastic performance.

The background score is phenomenal, it adds intensity, goes well with humor.

You want to watch something new, edgy and real, watch it right now.

There was a lot of hype going on about Biswa's Web Series coming up but when I watched the trailer, I was really disappointed. Judging from the trailer, I expected it to be clichéd story of an IIT aspirant, nothing new in that right. But then I finally watched it, and I kept asking for more. It was much more than stereotypical story of getting into IIT . It was really dark and a lot of attention was given to minute details. All the characters played their part to their full potential. A lot of moments come where you can relate to the characters. Look out for Alam Khan (Chudail) in the series. It is one of those series which makes you ponder and will stay in your mind for quite some time.

Laakhon me ek tells a story that needs to be told. And it tells it in a perfect manner. All the aspects - the acting, direction, writing, cinematography, soundtrack etc. align well together to form an experience that is the essence of the show.

The show has been made so well that instead of just seeing what is happening, we feel like we are experiencing what the protagonist is experiencing. We live and feel what Akash lives and feel. Our emotions get attached to his. Because of this, there are times when it is not easy to watch. As we start to feel what the character is feeling, at times, it becomes a bit too overwhelming for us to go through what he is going through. But that too in itself is a sign of a good show.

I am glad that a few hours ago, I decide to watch Laakhon me ek. Thanks to the team for creating something this great.

The acting is great and feels very real. The story is well written, slightly slow at times but the acting makes the series so much real and fills in the gaps in the storyline pretty well.

Laakhon Mein Ek is a web series that attempts to hold up a mirror to the Indian society's ugly face. It touches topics that are often neglected and not talked about openly in our society. One of the biggest flaw in our education system is that it has become a business that thrives on exploiting the kids by glorifying the success only a few academics enjoy. The series aims to spell out this societal deficiency and persuade us in introspecting to find a possible solution. Biswa's directorial debut gives us a glimpse of his immense potential. Make no mistake the tale is not for everyone. It's dark and the screenplay does justice to exactly that. Every character is brewed with details and most do very well to play their part. Unrequired comic relief is left out and difficult and painful situations are dealt with the realism. The three main kids do an awesome job with a special shout out to characters Chudail and Akash. I hope a lot of parents/to be parents watch this series and learn to give precedence to what their kid dream of rather than what the society celebrates
