She

The premise of She - Netflix India's latest show - is so promising that nothing less than an absurdly confused narrative with no sense of timing and tone might have messed it up.

Even the smarter subtexts are fetishized by the makers. For example, equating the stature of sex workers in society to that of female cops in a male-dominated police force.

The execution of the narrative - the cheesy cop-planning sessions, her training montage, her sister's desi spunk, the incoherent flashbacks is too cringey to examine the complexity of Bhumi's transformation.

Aaditi Pohankar's performance is brave but uneven; she struggles mostly because she has been directed according to a script rather than her character.

The anticlimactic finale is the final nail in the coffin.

The series "She2" is a continuation of part 1" She"...it started exactly where it ended. Anyone who watched part 1 can fully relate but there is preview for the audience who missed to watch the first series. The story is about a senior constable who becomes an undercover agent for police and how the transition takes place right from her look to her overall personality. The line that says.."Agar kisiko hate karte ho usse marna normal h,par agar kisiko pyar karte ho usse marna power h"can chill your spine and can make you scared. But this particular line has great impact on the whole series. Too much of bold scenes,vulgar language and violence is there but we can ignore it because it's an"A rated "series. Series 1 is good but series 2 is better.

Bhumika 'Bhumi' Pardeshi is a Mumbai traffic cop who is recruited for a special undercover operation with the Anti Narcotics Group. She is to pose as a prostitute to get close to a crime lord. This is not easy as she is naturally shy. Away from work she is in the process of divorcing her husband. She lives with her sick mother and under sister, who is a student. As the series progresses her character develops as she learns how to use her sexuality, both at work and away.

This seven part Indian police drama is solid enough although not the best example of the genre. There are plenty of tense moments although many of these are due to Bhumi having inadequate support at key moments. The acting is decent, Aaditi Pohankar stands out as Bhumi; at first I was unsure about her performance but as the series progressed I thought she was nicely capturing her character's awkwardness. The finale doesn't wrap things up so I was pleased to read that it has been renewed for a second season. Overall a decent enough crime drama; not a must see but it passes the time well enough.

These comments are based on watching the series in Hindi with English subtitles.

Tremendous work done by all characters specially Aaditi Pohankar. Finally Indian Netflix is trying something which doesn't involve Karan johar and showing the potential. Vijay Varma as usual catching the eye. How they build the character of the girl is amazing and it's a must watch watch for everyone who wants to emjoy crime, thriller and mystery. Desperately waiting for seasons 2 !!! Imtiaz Ali did a great work, congrats to him !!

Very passionate main actrice; content/plot is almost unimportant.. Very good (+ very passionate) play by. Aditi Sudhir Pohankar.. For people who likes these things of passionate/romance/erotic, its very.loaded/charged with energy..
