Money heist x Charlies Angles x Tollywood SRK's captivating screen presence and the film's impressive action sequences and music are the highlights, earning it a solid three-star rating. However, the movie suffers from a weak storyline and erratic editing, making it a challenging watch. The introduction of the female characters at the start feels unnecessary to their storyline and the main female lead's promising storyline abruptly fizzles out in the second half. The portrayal of jail inmates as virtuous compared to society's criminals is questionable. If I were to revisit it, I'd prefer skipping to the songs and action scenes, as the rest is disappointingly executed.

Bollywood seems to be lacking originality as they continue to pick scenes and scripts from past movies, like DDLJ, K3G, and Devdas, without much change. It's disheartening to see where the industry is headed. However, in this movie, Ranveer and Alia's performances shine, saving the day. Ranveer portrays a Delhi boy remarkably, while Alia's maturity elevates her screen presence. It's unfortunate that Shabana Azmi and Jaya Bachchan's characters weren't optimally utilized. Swapping their roles could have added more weight to the film, as Jaya's attempt to emulate AB from K3G fell short. Despite the weak script, the movie offers some entertainment. Considering the decline in Bollywood standards lately, it's still worth a watch for those seeking some semblance of quality.

Not even worth a watch. Felt money and talent all have been wasteful making this series. Casting: On paper actors look fine but they do not suit the role. NS as The Great Akhbar? An emotionless Aditi as Anarkali? Dialogues: This was the worst part of the series. Unimpactful and lack of research on how moghuls spoke. How can you allow words like 'bekaar' , 'badla' etc to be in the script is beyond me. Story telling: So much promise with very little content. Director and the team lacked vision in creating a storyline so added a little bit of everything. This should have been shot across 2/3 seasons. No real buildup to any pivotol moments just a quick glance and off you go. Also first 4 episodes maybe a build up can be skipped as had no real content. Worth a watch? I think there are many good shows on TV to waste your time at this blunder by Zee5

Decent start and storyline but the writing was very poor in the second half and editing disconnects you from the story completely. Random shots of baba walking in the desert, village pundit making his wife walk up the wall, Kiara disappearing from the screen for 20 odd mins etc Tabu again with an exceptional performance and the end with psycho Tabu was spot on. Kartik with a good performance, first 15 mins it felt he was copying SRK (clothes ddlj) and ranbir kapoor (yjhd) but comes into his own in rajasthan.
