Sunflower

Story: A murder has occurred in a society named sunflower. We are shown the killer's, so now it's laid back hilarious ride of comic events occurring one after the other.

Cinematography: Justified. A society built in an urban space, offices nearby along with the environment. Direction & acting: Direction is above average. The murdering couple were quite peculiarly aced. Other than that Sunil glistened followed by others.

Final Verdict: The slang with the comic nature mostly made my mood. There was crush factor, factor of relationship, factor that included foul mouthed ill old man and the list goes on...

The movie contained everything the trailer promised. If you have patience to not try to finish the series in couple of hours unlike me you will enjoy it even more.

The complaint that I have with other TV-series appeared here as well. Why not concluding everything in a given single season. If a point gets deducted for it. A point is earned for showing such personal nature of Sales Manager played by Sunil.

Sunflower is a comic murder mystery web series laced with huge amounts of black comedy and sarcasm, delivered to us by some fantastically written characters. I wonder why many critics in the leading news channels expected the show to be a typical crime noir and a serious murder mystery and misread the intent of the series. I believe the purpose of this series is tickle the viewer's funny bones and it does a wonderful job in that. Full credit to writer & director Vikas Bahl for taking us on a hilarious joyride, Sunflower looks like a grown up version of his 2011 hit Chillar Party. The web series has some of the most intriguing set of characters, that I have seen together in a desi web series since Sacred Games. Sunflower is just a lighthearted take on our society in general, while tickling our funny bones in bargain.

Cinematography is simple and neat sans unnecessary flamboyance. Screenplay remains the top draw of sunflower, that entertains us every five minutes with some exiting situations. Yes, the series is a tad slow at times but rises up remarkably well enough quickly. Production design, costumes and makeup are par, if one considers the production budget. Editing has its fair share of glaring errors, filled within a runtime of 308 minutes across 8 episodes. Sunflower's back ground score was just O u t s t a n d i n g. A well known star cast does deliver some very nice performances adding the overall humour quotient many notches up. Mukul Chaddha and Ranvir Shorey put up remarkable performances ably supported by Sunil Grover in the lead.

Overall, though after 308 minutes, the season ends in a cliffhanger, with no acceptable end. The entire journey towards end was totally one hilarious joyride so it wasn't a big deal breaker for me. I would recommend the show to people who love comedies and highly recommended the show to people who love black comedies. Though Sunflower is a bit asymmetrical and is constantly distracting and even sub-standard at times, You will not regret sitting this one out. 6.7 stars out of 10 for some outrageously written hilarious scenes and quirky characters in the mix.

Sunil Grover 😎 Excellent acting, At first I felt singer actress was boring climax was Superrrbbbbbbbb.

8/10 ..(-2) for bad ending .. really suddenly ends up without closing all the related stories ..

The series is extremely funny and enjoyable. A strong and humorous murder mystery with a stellar cast and equally good execution. They have handled so many subjects in only eight episodes. It's unbelievable. We get attached to individual characters One of the only few Indian web series that have lined upto the standards set by western productions.
