Choona

Those who are saying bad things about web series.. I may agree but there are many things which are good to watch or I can say entertaining.

A sort and simple words review is below.

Shukla and all characters are good and makes it engaging but after a moment you'll feel its boring just because of it's length of some scenes.

They stretched some scenes like they make the web series boring but shukla's dialogues and it's planetary belief makes it intresting. Heist have many twist and turns.. If you like good work.. Watch it.. I liked it.. Shukla makes story a worth watch a lot.

Review of Choona by itsbymayank - Mayank Bharat Bhushan Louteriya.

Anwar Says: A Netflix release, goon turned politician story but with a difference. The main character is delusional as well as follows star, planets and Vaastu. In process, he keeps on creating enemies who plan to carry out a heist in the fortress of Jimmy Shergil aka Calculator Shukla. Pushpendra Nath Mishra has been able to create both humour and intrigue.

Jimmy has been always an underrated actor and worked mostly in B class film. His effortless projection of the character is the key factor, though background narrator Arshad Warsi explained his character more than what he uttered himself. Aashim Gulati is a favourite of Mishraji after Taj and he also did justice to his role and so Namit Das, Chandan Sanyal and Vikram. Use of VR technology is successfully hemmed with the storyline.

Audience would be engaged in most of the time except in some middle episodes. Arshad narrative could have been less , still it is a fun watch. 6 out of 10 from me.

The story starts well and then, falls apart. After a few episodes, one simply loses interest and the screenplay fails to grip you. A few side stories are unnecessary and many plot points are not built properly.

The story digresses many a times from the main plot and when it comes back..you are not as invested. They should have focused more on the 'hiest' and the nuances around it.

The humor is also quite basic and only a few scenes would truly crack you up.

Jimmy Shergill is amazing; although, the character development didn't help him much.

Had a lot of hopes from this series.. although, it didn't turn out to be good.

You can skip this one.

A light hearted comedy full of suspense and drama. Seems comedy was a bit overdo but my suggestion: don't apply too much brain and just enjoy it. Fantastic for a dinner time entertainment series with spectacular performances from some of the stage actors. Worth a watch for sure.

Jimmy Shergill - awesome as ever The plot thickens after 2 episodes so u need to continue watching. But the only part missing is the story didn't end with all characters it started with such as mintu. The dialogues are subtle but have a fantastic comedy twist to them. If u liked gulab and guns u shud like this too. But don't have a very high story expectation.

This is a regular heist show, nothing new or exceptional, but still fun.

The acting talent in this show is fabulous. Jimmy Shergil is a great actor who hasn't really gotten his due yet. This may not do it but he developed his character very well.

The entire team does their bit well. Triloki was my fav and JP was frustrating with his constant negativity - but a really great representation of how people are. Arshad Warsi was a fabulous narrator though at times there was too much narration.

I get that some of the international audiences found the whole representation of astrology a bit much but tbh its not far-fetched at all🙈 I actually know a family that designed their bathrooms based on such advice 😆

The representation of politicians and their greed/grime is so true of several Indian CMs who either build malls in front of slums for money or thug slums in front of malls for vote banks 😁 Overall its a fun watch.

This review is based on watching the audio in the original language without subtitles. A lot of the humour is lost in the translation which often happens.

Also for those who have an issue with the name of the series - choona is a name for lime/whitewash but in slang it also means conning or fooling another!
