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 !!

Not sure why these directors are trying to make TV series which are mainly for Indian Audience and revolves around Indian characters but the story is far removed from being Indian. It seems that these type of directors are heavily influenced by Hollywood horror movies but not in right ways. Instead of adopting modern movie making and storytelling styles and techincal expertises they are blindly following the age old Hollywood story tropes. And it's really funny watching Netflix falling for this types of contents.

Watching toothpari is like watching a Hollywood fan film(read series) made by a Hollywood fanboy.

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.

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.
