Olokkhis in Goa

"Good artists copy, great artists steal." And the makers of this series have literally given away its source material on a calling card.

I have seen "Rough Night". Didn't really care much for it. Why I watched "Olokkhis in Goa" even though it was pretty clear from the trailer that the series has been lifted from the 2017 film isn't much of a mystery - I had time to spare.

I liked the series better. Smart changes in storyline, good backstories and character arcs and a mostly coherent narrative. Well acted too. I really liked Priyanka Mondal's Titas and Priyanka Bhattacharjee's Hoi. Anuradha Mukherjee as Ranita holds her ground well. Avery Singha Roy's Barsha has been written as the "class clown" so she's supposed to deliver anyway.

Goa has been used well. They've managed to get some great shots.

Overall a good time and a fun watch.

The series sounds like a unique blend of thriller, comedy, and drama. The dynamic between the four female friends adds depth and complexity to the story, while the addition of a male gigolo adds an element of suspense and intrigue. The setting in Goa adds to the exotic atmosphere, and the crime that happens adds a layer of mystery to the plot. Overall, the series seems like it has the potential to be a entertaining and engaging watch, with twists and turns to keep the audience on their toes.

Anuradha Mukherjee, Avery Singha Roy, Priyanka Mondal and Priyanka Bhattacharya done well for their part. Durbar Sharma, Pranjal Das added extra flavor on it. Music and BGM is quite great. Director and Writer Joydip Banerjee done well and the dialogue written by Soumit Deb is great and crunchy. Overall teamplay is shining all the way.
