It's sad to see a series with such a strong premise, talented cast, and rich context fall into the realm of mediocrity. The political backdrop involving corruption and land mafias had the potential to add real depth to the story. Sadly, the director reduced it to a one-dimensional tool-simply to paint the protagonist's family as villainous-without delving into any meaningful detail or analysis.
Meanwhile, the present-day mystery and kidnapping subplot felt forced and lacked genuine engagement. There were far too many subplots tangled together, making it difficult to discern what was central to the story and what was just filler. With such an ensemble cast, this could have been something remarkable. But instead, the director seemed more focused on dramatic confrontations and fiery dialogue-which, to be fair, were well-acted-but that alone isn't enough.
It's especially disappointing to see a seasoned actor like Saswata Chatterjee underutilized. The attempt to make her character mysterious and central to a major plot twist ultimately fell flat. The narrative as a whole failed to stay cohesive-it became loose, predictable, and struggled to hold tension. Yes, the family drama and suspense were present and occasionally enjoyable, but the series never quite reached its full potential.
Bangladeshi web series makers need to become smarter and more creative. Simply being "good by Bangladeshi standards" is no longer enough-if something is mediocre, it remains mediocre across all benchmarks.
