Kaala Paani: Les eaux sombres

It is by far the most remarkable show of 2023 that i have seen. Not for once it felt like a fiction, it was like witnessing a real life event that was unfolding before my eyes. Characters were not acting, they were living it. But out of all the characters brilliant performances, my heart goes to Santosh Salva played by Vikas Kumar for personal reasons. The depiction of struggles that a common man faces while dealing with such situations just couldn't get anymore realistic. His character arc and transformation from a loving and timid father into becoming something he thought he was never capable of, a RUTHLESS SURVIVOR..!! Doing whatever it takes to be alive and keeping his family safe is simply impeccable. Actors bring versatility by playing different roles, Vikas made it happen by Santosh Salva..!! A rising star indeed..!! Truly amazing performance and a must watch..!!

This is one of those works wherein makers are not actually behind making it big in Bollywood and running behind box offices and hundreds of crores. This is pure hard work, talent and most importantly the makers understand that the people of country understand good and special content. Not that we havent watched a series or movies based on communicable or contagious diseases, but this one is special, it is commendable the way it has been executed. Kudos to all the characters in the Series, all are awesome. From TVF's short videos to This amazing work, you guys have come far and doing a good job.

What makes Kaala Paani different from others?

Its not predictable. No idiotic surprises that does not goes with the flow of the film, but naturally drawn around the subject, that has a very true possibilities of happening.

Amazing story plots, amazing acting by the actors. After some time, you fill feel like its a documentary that has real life characters. Its that real when it came to acting. Amazing cast, and its so good to see that we are finally here, where we act and show films with maturity and keeping reality in check.

Its a must watch!

Biswapati Sarkar, just look at the number of shows this man has created with his masterful storytelling and screenplay. Nothing feels out of place in the show. Cinematography to acting to background score - everything blends into the story. The small tricks of making an insignificant event significant, at some point later, are not cliched.

A good story makes the viewers emotional without making the characters emotional. Kaala Pani's writing and direction will definitely give you that experience. The acting skills of Sukant Goel, Amey Wagh, Vikash Kumar needs special mention. Good to see Ashutosh Gowariker after so many years. If not for these shows, the acting skills of many of these so called failed Bollywood actors would have gone unnoticed for ever.

Thanks to netflix as I firmly believe Bollywood would never have backed up a project like this. A definite watch.

Must must must watch!! What a brilliant conceptualization!!! Survival of the fittest - Wanna understand it? Watch it, the best fiction writing ever. A story that revolves around epidemic similar to COVID. The last 2 episodes are intense emotional roller coaster. You will see all facets of human lives in this. You will only end up wondering what did I watch? It hasn't yet ended n can't wait for the second season. An impeccable storyline with intense depth characterization. Everything about this is a top notch. Don't miss this. You will only end up craving more n more for it. My ratings 10/10!!!
