Showtime Part 2 Web Series Review by Suchin Mehrotra | Film Companion Reviews

Amazon Prime Video’s "Mirzapur" set high standards with its well-crafted gangster saga. Season one featured memorable characters and a gripping finale. However, season three, now directed by new creators, is criticized for being lethargic, poorly paced, and overstuffed with subplots. Despite some standout performances, especially by Ali Fazal, the season fails to match the excitement and focus of its predecessors.

Mirzapur Seaason 3 Web Series Review by Suchin Mehrotra | Ali Fazal | Shweta Tripathi | Vijay Varma

"Gaanth," an 8-episode crime thriller on JioCinema, feels outdated and derivative. Inspired by the 2018 Burari Deaths, it’s the third show on this case. Despite good visuals and solid casting, the show is bogged down by incoherent writing and unoriginal characters. The plot drags, making it frustrating and unfocused, ultimately disrespecting the real-life tragedy it portrays.

Gaanth, Chapter 1: Jamnaa Paar Web Series Review by Suchin Mehrotra | Manav Vij | Rajesh Tailang

TVF’s Gullak returns for a heartwarming fourth season, marking a milestone in Hindi streaming. As we revisit the Mishra family, the question arises: do we seek the familiar or crave deeper evolution? While beautifully crafted, the series struggles with heavy-handed narration and occasional tonal inconsistencies. Yet, within its brief runtime, Gullak's endearing moments persist, offering brief but comforting escapes into the Mishras' world.

Gullak Season 4 Web Series Review by Suchin Mehrotra | Film Companion

"Baahubali: Crown Of Blood" is a nine-episode animated prequel series available on Disney+Hotstar. Set before the original saga, it explores the lives of iconic characters facing a new villain threatening Mahishmati's prosperity. However, the animation quality is subpar, hindering immersion. Despite potential, the series lacks compelling storytelling and falls short of the cinematic magic of its predecessors, feeling like a diluted imitation.

Baahubali: Crown of Blood Web Series Review by Suchin Mehrotra | Film Companion

The beloved show "Panchayat" returns for its third installment, capturing the essence of Phulera's charm and camaraderie. As the familiar characters navigate new challenges, the season delves into politics and personal struggles. Yet, beneath the surface, hints of repetitiveness emerge, and the intrusive background score becomes apparent. The finale, however, takes a drastic turn, leaving viewers questioning the show's direction and authenticity. And does the same work for its viewers, or is this a show that's now on a loose track? Find out in our review.

Showtime Web Series Review by Suchin Mehrotra | Emraan Hashmi | Film Companion
