Bestseller

Its an ok crime, thriller, drama but it lacked the thrill. It turns into a more of a cat and mouse chase once Mithun Chakraborthy makes his entry.

Its been a while since I have seen him in a strong main role.

You work out the mystery in the early episodes and then you just watch to see how they unravel it.

The end climax again too predictable.

If you are looking for a true thriller mystery look elsewhere, if you are Mithun Chakraborthy's fans then don't give this a miss you will not necessarily disappointed with his character.

I don't know why Shruthi is wearing contacts. There is no reason for her to do so. It's on the face and very noticeable at close ups. Her acting too is so bad. It's so evident of her innocent acting that isn't digestible. Even Satyajeet Dubey is very below average but as episodes go by, his acting feels OK as per his character. Everyone else are actually good in their acting especially Arjan Bajwa & Gauahar Khan. I am not a Gauahar fan but she has acted real good. I am a huge Mithun da fan but Mithun's character could have been played by anyone because it isn't anything special and is a dumb character because though the series tries to show that he is intelligent by doing something or understanding what others don't but that's not intelligence. That's bad writing of the character. Seriously Mithun da is wasted here.

The story is intriguing but when the reasons are revealed, the entire series falls flat. I understand who, why and what but the casting, the acting & the missing soul of the series made this a waste of my time.

Overall story is good. I'll say decent. Little weak in the past story could have done better. Characters were chosen well. Mithun da and Shruti Hassan have nailed it.

But the expectation for a web series will always be more, so need to bring out that content in the show. Just some good story and good execution will not be enough.

Anwar Says : Adaptation of Ravi Subramaniam 2015 novel, Bestseller, She wrote, is a dark suspense thriller and revolves around a cocky and egotist author and his entanglement with a small town fan. The book name adapted from Kabir's Doha Rand , Saandh , Seedhi , Sanyasi and the stolen story is from a family of imaginary town Rajisi and the revenge .

Mukul Abhyankar, the director gave Mithun Chakravorty his first break on OTT and he doesn't disappoint. Shruti Hassan got a lifetime role and played brilliantly the simpering woman's role. Arjan Bajwa fits in his role of author Tahir Wazir after two episodes only. The cutest is Gauhar Khan , an alpha woman with a poise .

The part I didn't like is the predictable suspense and the series carries only on the shoulders of the strong cast. Despite no dearth of angles of twists, the series lack of suspense and thrill makes it ordinary. Still watchable for its simmering effects. 5 out of 10 from me .

While the series is good, I am also a bit surprised with Shruti Haasan's acting and she has come a long way - with improvements that is. After all she's the reason that drawn me into the show since I am a huge fan of her. Acting aside, the film has a rather good story and plot to it. Some say predictable, yes and no, and your prediction is most likely wrong until the end. You can't ignore this work with a cast like the legendary Mithun Chakraborty, and of course the INCREDIBLE Gauahar Khan. Yes, she was the star of the show! While I'm all rooting for Shruti but Gauahar caught my utmost attention with her incredible performance. She confidently captures every mood with her command and screen presence. Such raw natural talent that I have not seen in a long time, especially from Indian cinema. The woman is mesmerizing and she deserves an award, and then some.
