Tooth Pari: When Love Bites

The Director has done a lot of hard work in this series which reflects from each and every scene of the series. The direction has its loose ends. Though the series at first takes good pace and puts audience in a suspense mode but at the end it leaves some loose ends which will create many questions among the audiences about the series and the consequences of the actions of the characters of the series. The acting of the whole cast is praise worthy. The editing is smooth. I think this series should have been released as a movie in theaters . I am sure it would have attracted box office collections. The Director has beautifully depicted the old lanes of Kolkata city and its bangaliana. Sikander Kher speaking bengali words reminds me of the tone used by Mithun Chakraborty in his hey days while pronouncing bengali words. Overall the series is watchable and enjoyable excluding some minor plot holes.

It is definitely fresh take for Indian show involving vampires and making love its central theme around it . This show actually took time to make me interested after 3 episodes. It might happen with you as well . Actually story was fresh and unique to me thats what made me to go for this show but at some point ,I felt direction of some vital scenes could be better .

Directions of some vital scenes made me disappointed , I wish it could have better directions to make us feel more emotional towards story but none of these is taking away anything from story. Story is still fine and fresh which will keep you intrigued.

Each individual's performance is commendable and cinematography is fabulous. Talking about its narrative , this shows tend to show how society is somewhat cruel towards women throughout long decades to even now which is true . It tries to break the barriers and norms set up by society and make our girl central character to whom story revolves around which was pleasing to watch . Few times show try to teach audience which is totally fine with me as long as I support them and I did support them but only one scene pissed me off which I can call body shaming towards man which you will get to know . And also in that same scene, trying to show pre-martial physical relations to make look "good" to audience is also "not right" . I am not saying it is bad either . I think it should be left upon the partners to decide and no one should influence their decision ,not even parents.

In this show everyone's character is given perfect motivations making it hard to determine who is right and wrong. It all depends upon the circumstances in which they are.

Overall, this show deserves a 7-star rating and is the above average show for a free time watch.

There's a lot here that is pretty awesome. Interwining a forlorn tale of love , longing and belonging with some delicious vampire lore based in Kolkata! The characters are etched out well and stalwarts like Rajatava Dutta , Saswata Chatterjee , Revathy , Anjan Dutta and Adil Hussain deliver the goods while Sikander , Sandeep and Tanya bring a lot of heart. Subhankar Bhar's camerawork is top notch as always. The fantasy genre finally gets some great worldbuilding in the Indian OTT space!

The graphics are competently done too. Kudos to the ever (pleasantly) surprising Pratim. D. Gupta! Excited for season 2!

Watched 3 episodes. So far so good.

A vampire comedy in the zone of Taika Watiti's "what we do in the Shadows" and probably inspired by the same, which is evident by the lighthearted and playful mood. But the world-building, the setup, and the characters are original and interesting and not copied.

Also, the title "Tooth Pary" itself suggests that the makers are not taking it too seriously, and neither should the audience, they should have fun while watching it.

A great ensemble cast includes veterans like Adil Hussain, Revathy, and Saswata Chatterjee.

Looking forwards to the remaining episodes, will update after completing the series.

It's a vampire-human love story wherein a rebellious lady vampire with a damaged tooth and underground abode falls in love with a shy dentist on the streets of Kolkata, something which is a strict no-no!!

Presence of a vampire slayer witch and her team of Cutmundoos add on to the complexity.

Full Marks For:

... Originality and intelligent desification of foreign mythology.

... Applaud worthy cinematography of old Kolkata lanes and houses.

... Good acting by the entire cast, but Adil Hussain, Tillotama Shome and Sikandar Kher simply outshine everyone.

The lead pair Tanya Maniktala and Shantanu Maheshwari share good chemistry and strong onscreen presence.

Question Mark For:

... No clarification of hero or villain. No moral message at the end of it all !!

Do watch it !!
