The Fame Game

The show is boring. Do not waste your time on it. The episodes could have been shorter and the writing could have been crisper. Lost interest after episode 3. Mediocre writing.

It's like serving a stale and bland food by an international multicuisine restaurant. The show tries to cash on the fame of Madhuri Dixit, but unfortunately makers forgot to work on the story. You feel cheated by the end of the show after dedicating many hours of your busy day on a show which yields nothing. Very stale and predictable story with a choice of very bad and undertrained actors and above all worst than anything writing. I have given rating of 4 just for the sake of "Manav kaul" because he tried to keep this sinking ship afloat. And please netflix stop underestimating indian audience in the name of thrillers, thats disrespectful.

Web Series review: The Fame Game streaming on Netflix.

#sanjuzzreviews #TheFameGame #netflixindia #madhuridixit A Bollywood superstar Anamika Anand ( Madhuri Dixit) suddenly vanishes without a trace. As her family and police launch a frantic search for the star, pieces of her perfectly scripted life are stripped, revealing the dark truths about the Bollywoods rich and famous.

First the pros .... Acting is top notch, Madhuri does full justice to her role as the aging star trying to hold on to her stardom .. the dhak dhak girl rocks again. A surprise package are Lakshvir Saran & Muskaan Jaferi who play Madhuris kids, Avi and Amara respectively. Awesome performances by these 2 as they hold their own against a cast of seasoned actors. Sanjay Kapoor and Suhasini Muley essaying the roles of Dixit's gold digger husband and overbearing mom resp give an earnest performance. Manav Kaul as her lover, superstar Manish Khanna is good too.

Now the cons... This is an 8 part series with each episode having a runtime of around 45 mins making it a tedious watch. In an attempt to add content to increase runtime the narrative slows down a lot making you go yawn yawn at times. With crisp editing, this cudve easily been a 6 part fast paced, gripping thriller web series.

And yeah .. there is a twist in the end which is nice, with poetic justice served once again.

However the major flaw is the extremely slow narrative which reduces this series from an excellent to an ok ok decent one time watch.

I'll go with a generous 3/5 for this one ....adios 🙂

It has become a trend to stretch a story beyond what it can. Totally defines the greed of the producers for earning more money. Problem is that ends up becoming a major headache for the viewer which is rather frustrating! This one started on a highly promising note with Madhuri rocking in each and every frame but the story and screenplay drag...This could have been avoided had it all been packed in a tight 6 episodes instead of 8. A good example would be Bestseller(Shruti Hassan) on Amazon Prime, perfectly finishes when it should. Dharma productions need to learn that for the upcoming ones.

As expected The fame game rides on the shoulders of strong and convincing acting of Madhuri Dixit only. This series clearly narrates how ugly is Bollywood behind the glittering glamour world. It is not exactly a thriller but more of Drama with some mystery and thriller element. In case you are Fan of Madhuri Dixit than it is must watch but in case you are not Madhuri fan and want to watch thriller or Mystery than there is lot to watch on OTT.
