Honeymoon Photographer

Very poor storyline. Screenplay is boring too. Nothing much that interests in the story, there are lot of loopholes in the "Suspense Thriller". They try to infuse comedy at times which is crappy. It gets unbearable by episode 4. The police are shown too lazy who never manage to catch the protagonist although they have several occasions to catch her, which is again laughable. The pen drive story containing secrets of transactions of billionaire family is similar to 70s file/diary story. Overall the web series is one with a dull story, at times bad acting, and overall uninteresting. Not worth spending your 4+ hours.

I stumbled upon this murder mystery, and with Asha Negi headlining it, there are two good reasons to give it a go: I love murder mysteries, and I find Asha to be a talented actor.

The story follows a honeymoon photographer who becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a newlywed groom. With everyone harboring secrets, she must clear her name before facing a possible sentence.

The series has a promising start, introducing the characters and setting the dynamics between them. However, the police procedures come off as childish, with the officers behaving like novices. The show isn't gritty or overly serious, so it never feels boring. Surprisingly, for its genre, it's a lighthearted watch. The twist in the plot is well-executed, and it keeps you guessing until a few episodes in.

Asha Negi delivers a solid performance, bringing depth to her character, which has quite a few layers. Jason Tham plays an endearing friend and does his part well. Rajeev Siddhartha is decent, though his performance feels a bit repetitive. Apeksha Porwal and Sahil Salathia, as the newlyweds, fit their roles well and add to the story.

Cinematographically, it works, with scenes set in Goa that add a chill vibe to the narrative. Even the Mumbai sequences are captured aesthetically. A little more work on the script could have enhanced the series, especially by adding more strategic police tactics or creative escapes by the suspects.

It's not groundbreaking, but if you're looking for a light watch, this one could definitely make it to your list.

The first episode is good, but after that, it becomes dull and monotonous. This series is a clear example of how a great concept can suffer from poor execution. What starts with promise quickly turns into a pedestrian watch.

After the first two episodes, the storyline drags, making it easy to lose interest. Acting-wise, everyone is just okay-nothing extraordinary. It's the kind of series you can keep on in the background while multitasking without missing much.

If you're short on time, just watch the first and last episode-you won't feel like you missed anything. Largely looks like a story written by novice writer without any understanding of how to build a character and motive.

Story was going well but ending ruined it. The actors were not good and that made things a LOT worse. The actress that played ambika did by far the worst acting and for some reason was given the biggest role. Good actors were given smaller roles so we had to suffer through the whole show watching this actress do a poor job. Like I said, the show had good potential but if they chose a better actress for the main role it could have been much better. Story was a little off at some points too and didn't make much sense but that can be negligible. There were many unnecessary provocative scenes. The show had a lot of potential to be amazing but this potential was not met 👎

Anwar Says: Murder mysteries are difficult to narrate and the role of script writer is of equal importance as of the director. This Jiocinema release has the right direction and started with a Hollywood kind of web series but script was not smart enough to keep the audience stick to the edge of seat.

Actors are good, specially the lead Asha Negi , visible in almost every frame. Rightly not many sub-plots were chosen and the background introduction of characters are short. Normally, on OTT , producers take the web series to 8-9 episodes by introducing these gimmicks. Overall, the casting is B- class and the characters of Police Officers are below average.

Suspense is predictable and thrill is missing. Learnt a new word- PRENUP - meaning a pre- nuptial agreement regarding ownership of respective asset by couple, if the marriage fails. Still watchable because of cinematography and efforts of actors.
