Virkar

#sanjuzzreviews

This thriller web series based on Piyush Jha's novel " The AntiSocial Network" is all about cyber crimes, cryptocurrency, dark web, date rape, murders and a poor mumbai cop, inspector Virkar ( a confused and bewildered looking Pratik Babbar caught in the middle of this zhamela).

Hey... before you jump to the conclusion that the series is trash, I would like to tell you that the series is actually very fast paced and decently engaging even with its flaws and predictability.

Babbar has a fantastic physique, but too much attention is given to his body and to be honest he isnt a great actor. Kunal Khemu did a much better job in the Web Series Abhay.

With something or the other happening in every episode, the pace doesnt slacken one bit throughout the length of the series . Also, Short episodes of around 30 mins each make it a good binge watch option.

Among the cast, Ashish Vidhyarthi and the late Asif Basra are good in their respective roles, however the rest including Simran Kaur Mundi are not so great. Casting is one of the flaws in this series.

All in all, not too bad as a one time watch ...adios :-)

Its a mix match showing how money is being priortize then love, life or person in this modern world. Gave 7 star because of the last bullet.

Simple,Normal,Repititive,Average Acting ,weak dialogues....with same stories.

The worst thing about this web series was Ashish Vidyarthi being wasted. Such a talented and legendary actor should have been given more space.

And good thing about the show? Perhaps nothing.

Chakravyuh is not actually a bad web series but pretty average one. It would take real effort to go past first couple of episode.

It's a story about serial murder and Virkar(Prateik Babbar) is a hot-blooded cop and is investigating the case.

Sadly the execution of the murder mystery is not done properly. Many scenes are too predictable. There were things present, characters etched well and couple of good actors but the execution falls flat. There were so many elements like hacking, digital currency which should have been dealt with better screenplay and writing. If properly executed, this web series could have been much superior.

The visuals in the web series seems dated to me as well as the body language of actors.

Prateik Babbar, the main lead appears so stiff and can hardly gives any expression. He tried so hard to appear different but is not totally convincing. He delivers an okay performance.

IF you could bare the non acting skills and extremely poor dialogue delivery of Prateek Babbar, this is a good one time watch thriller. Prateek Babbar's dialogue deliver and poor acting skills ruin the otherwise a good series.
