Bisaat

Average acting, great twists, excellent direction and background music.

The series started so well, the casting is good but the direction, story and editing leave a lot to be desired. In days of such amazing series on various platforms, this one doesn't quite match up. Sandeepa Dhar and the guy playing her husband do a good job so do most actors but without script and food direction they couldn't do much. Giving a 6 only for the actors and amazing sets and costumes otherwise would have given a 4.5 or 5!

Anwar Says: Bisaat- Khel Shatranj Ka , a crime thriller by veteran Mukesh Bhatt , streaming on mxplayer. When Bhatt family is involved, your expectations are very high . It is an upmarket mystery drama, where a psychiatrist is stuck in the cobweb of one of her patient and becomes the prime suspect of a series of murders. The initial pace and events would hook you till the fourth episode but from the fifth one you start checking messages on your phone. The end is more than expected , if you are a regular watcher of crime-thriller. Sandeepa Dhar as Doctor Kiana has looked and acted beautifully and justified her selection . Read somewhere that she lived with some psychiatrist for one and half moths to get into the role. Other characters like Omkar Kapoor, Khalid Siddiqui, Leena Jumanji have also played their role well but it's an out and out Sandeepa's story and probably her best so far . Series would have been more crisp if editing would have cut it into 6 episodes. Settings are excellent, particularly the chambers of doctors in the hospital. The first time I just thought, I should have chosen medical profession (pun intended). Mr. Bhatt has given us much more thrilling blockbusters , but you should go for this one too, since you don't have much to do in the evenings.

All the characters satisfied their Selection in this web series, they played their role very well.

Story of the web series is also good enough.

End of the series is excellent.

Must watch web series.

Firstly iv never seen any psychiatrist wearing such skimpy clothes and plunging necklines anywhere leave alone in the hospital or a day care centre or while councelling the patients....does no justice to sandeepa's character.

Instead portrays her as a desperate lady begging for attention. Tried to create content for cheap thrill value .

Infact none of the characters in the hospital or any scene seem authentic but sandeepa with her climbing hems and plunging necklines stands out like a sore thumb .

Nothing great .....can be watched for timepass.

Just another run of the mill product from the ott platform webseries factory .
