BLUF
A consistently trashy guy becomes the youngest ever Chief Minister of Rajasthan state only to be killed on his way to the inauguration. What’s more, he decides to hang around to figure out who killed him instead of getting going to his heavenly abode.
THE MEAT AND THE POTATOES
The 10-episode series, which is loosely adapted from Shweta Brijpuria’s novel Dark White, is a story of a defunct excuse for a human being and his aspirations in politics as he sashays his way walking over all people he can use and dispose of.
The series unfolds in the form of flashbacks and a Sumeet Vyas as Yudhveer voiceover delivering a sardonic analysis on the investigation into his murder. Who could possibly be behind the untimely murder of this arrogant, hedonistic child of a man of zero character?
The whole series is like a visit to the sleaziest corner of the world, finding the most morally defunct characters in the shadiest surroundings and giving them the world’s most enumerated expletives to mutter.
Not for kids or adults who cannot handle obscenities.
IN THE ZONE
The cast has some bad actors Nidhi Singh, Monica Chaudhary, Taniya Kalra, Kunj Anand, Shekhar Choudhary, Rachit Bahal, and Sumit Singh because you know some of them are trying to act and they are directed by Sattwik Mohanty
Sumeet Vyas, one of the first web actors emerging out of India tries his best to justify the shades of Yudhveer’s character. His evil incarnation bad- boy look with unkempt hair and a dubious beard and to portray a clean-shaven politician just sparkling white clothes. There is no leeway to perform for him because there is apparently nothing to say and even if there is the Ekta Kapoor School of Profanity handles most of it. Not sure if there are any dialogues at all.
Jatin Sarna enacts Abhimanyu Singh, the brawny officer who has the tough job of digging up dirt on Yudhveer and questioning his dubious friend’s circle of frenemies. You can almost imagine that this role is essayed.
FWAR
For a book written by a woman, maybe celebrating sexism, showing hatred towards homophobic characters and commemorating characters who treat women like objects for meeting desires and manipulation is not a bold portrayal of what is wrong but a narrative with no statement to make except parade abject bigotry.
WHAT WE LIKED
Sumeet Vyas. But then we have always liked him
WHAT WE HATE
Every damn thing
