Web Series Review: 36 Days Streaming on Sony LIV!!
Directed by Vishal Furia and Produced by Applause Entertainment along with BBC studios , 36 days is a crime thriller web series which takes viewers on a roller coaster ride in a story filled with love, lust , murder and intrigue!!
The arrival of a mysterious stranger Farah ( Neha Sharma) in a gated bungalow community in Goa sparks off a series of bizarre events , causing chaos and mayhem in the lives of the residents whose lives seem hunky dory on the outside , but r living with dark secrets buried deep in their hearts!!
Coming to the cast :
Chandan Roy Sanyal as Tony, the lecherous & crass owner of the gated community impresses you the most . You will feel disgusted by his homophobic behaviour yet fall in love with his acting !! The star of the web series for sure 😊
Neha Sharma has acted decently as the mysterious stranger giving a restrained performance but definitely not her best .
Shruti Seth & Purab Kohli as the dysfunctional power couple have done well in their respective roles.
Amruta Khanwilkar as the loud, greedy and garrulous Lalita is funny in her own way. The talented Sharib Hashmi as her husband has played the role of a cuckolded hubby well.
Sushant Digwikar as the transgender Tarun/ Tanya has an important role and is impressive.
Shernaz Patel, Faizal Rashid & Kenneth Desai - weakest links in this story and their tale of woes takes away a lot from the narrative!! Cudve been better.
Overall the series moves in a very leisurely manner without any major twists till the final 3 episodes where the action actually happens.
U might also find the twist in the end , an anticlimax.
An interesting concept where the story moves in reverse - From the time the murder is committed (1st episode) to the reasons behind it ( going 36 days behind - 8th episode) . Not bad .. yet kuch toh missing lagta hai ... Not gripping enough,with lots of boring sub plots and loose ends in the script!!
The stellar starcast is not utilised fully!!
Going with 2.5/5 for this one.. adios 🙂
