This series - all seasons included is one of the best series I could talk & write home about. It's not about a strong story line as a scenario or as a normal backdrop; the series as an entirety is like an audio visual Ted talk. The reality chk is about everybody specially the students in competitive exams that go thru extensive stress related situations. The weakest perish- commit to ending lives. The vulnerable ones go thru anxiety & nervous breakdowns. One of the best solutions is by seeking exemption & having a strong mentor who shares with you paths to tackle, to talk out issues, problems over & over, pull down blocks, and breathe stress free air. There are no blind alleys, if you are willing to put up with the struggle & fight back- there are defined niches available for each one, you get successfully to your niche. The part of the story that truly hits the dart board was that even the mentor may need counsel- Jeetu Bhaiya visits a counseller & sails thru his temporary setbacks. Mentors can't hold your hand & walk your steps on the suggested paths, they can show you the path(s). Kudos to Jeetendra Kumar as "Jeetu Bhaiya" -the actor earns the ranks of great actors with his sensitive portrayal - a splendid lead in these series. The final scene is the highlight wherein "Jeetu Bhaiya" steps out of the groove to "Jeetu Sir" by opting to being a part of the larger picture- of the educational Board at Jaipur- to earning a position for laying & being a part of formulating policies with a view to benefit the larger target audience of students. The goal shifts from Kota to Jaipur. The closing farewell scene is extremely emotional & may bring tear to your eyes- the scene successfully projects the enormous lives he has reasonably touched & is quickly followed by their sea of emotions. All the students (without exception) handpicked in the lead have performed swell as memorable performances. The review will be incomplete if we do not make a mention to the rich performances put up by Rajesh Kumar, Tillotama Shome, Ranjan Raj, Mayur More, Alam Khan. They will live forever in their characters. A piece of advice here to the us- use your struggles & failures as stepping stones & as push factors. Talk, talk your problems with your mentors & confidantes. Please don't build blocks pull them down, closed spaces kill you... When you talk down your grief & mentor brainstorms, you stand to recieve & see solutions. Build your strengths from one to the other, never fail yourself.

To start with the right note if you are looking for a typical Bollywood movie with glamour & songs & running around trees you are knocking the wrong door. Akelli may be categorised as a real dark film & a possible real story that is happening sporadically in the world. It shakes the foundations of credibility in your being. Scene after scene you sit at at the edge of your seat chewing your nails off. The cast is really handpicked for each role Nushratt Bharucha has been unable to bag roles with competence at good believable performances. She excels in creating the horrendous happenings to her. A special mention also to Nishant Dahilya who gives an impactful performance as what was expected of him- with doses of appropriate emotion & reactions expected. The cast & respective performances are super. They transport you there where such incidents are happening or may happen. The raw frames of violence & exploits send shudders down your spine with blood curdling incidents as projected in the film. A must watch, it's a film that should attract accolades at film festivals & Critics Guild. I can go on & on but that may damage the aura which the film creates. Kudos to each & everyone from the cast & crew to give their optimum which makes the film what it is.

How many will sit to watch a film like this which is showing every segment the mirror of what they are doing, or are silent spectators...no one likes the truth. Faceoff the real problem possibly at every level. The movie is very well tackled & a gripping drama(sadly I choose to use this expression). The last part when Bhoomi Pednekar questions the audience for their passivity to watch such shows and glue to TRP generated matter. I know my answer. Great performances by both the lead pair. Kudos to the crew.

The film is based on vice & virtues, chances & redemptions. Anurag Basu so well conversant takes you on trips to mystical land of fantasies & fairy tales. The traces were seen in Barfi, Jagga Jasoos- both appealing to child like hearts except for skipping censorship as is trending. The 3-4 tales of stalwart acting gives different stories with the central character as Pankaj Tripathi giving yet another weirdo sterling performance. Abhishek Bachchan rocks with his underperformance. A must watch. A feather in Anurag Basus hat!

Fabulous web series. Complete with style & elan. The ambiance never rests, keeps you on tenterhooks. What next? Sushmita Sen back with a bang, of course she never went anywhere for us- her followers. Good performances by all. Majestic series in royal Rajasthan.
