P.I. Meena

Virus cannot be seen with light microscope.

A person in coma for 3 years is no longer kept on cardiac monitor.

Any microbiologist would not contaminate his own or someone's clothes with gloves he just used handling a specimen.

Surgeons in India are not MDs. They are MSs.

Once you can get over such inconvenient medical facts, there is a lot to enjoy in this layered and textured tale.

It brings a world of Kolkata and Eastern India to life. Background score and cinematography are decent.

There are several veteran actors in supporting cast but one weak point is the lead, Tanya Maniktala. She reduces the character to perpetually angry and rogue. She is angry at herself because she blames herself for her brother's coma. She is angry at the system. Unfortunately that is all we get out of her. There is no nuance. One can't help wishing that someone like Tridha Chaudhary (Ashram) or Disha Thakur (Main Monica) was cast in that role.

Quite a wonder cast put together.. This has to my search of the year so far & my favourite next to Jubilee for the sheer love for the genre.

Tanya portraying a character who doesn't have that wide smile that she's known for was brilliant. She knows her job & her body language, walk, mannerisms were quite spot on.

She keeps the ticker on & so does Parambrata.

Absolutely Loved Zarina Wahab ji - what an actress, her accent, small gestures of "Kee", how she handles the mobile to search for contact - OMG!

Loved the cinematography, music & costumes.

But biggest winner has to be the narrative style - the director knows his job & how to get the detective feeling going.

The scenes are really good. Scenes from Kolkata to North Bengal all are very good with nice color grading. But the story is very boring. Poorly written. The videography is not that good at all. Poorly integrated. All the cast members are so much talented. They act and perform exceptionally.

They acted very good in this series too but the story and integration is missing. Not properly collaborated and the scenes will look like very discreet and from another series or movies with no continuity.

I think Amazon need to appoint better director and crew like Koushik for their series or movies.

That'll be super hit.

The main lead actress, Taniya Maniktala doesn't have the presence and panache to really carry a whole series on her back, I had the same issue with her in the series Tooth Pari and on top of that the drudge of a screenplay doesn't do any favours. It's slow and doesn't connect well, almost feels like it has been written by someone straight out of school and lacks the know how of the emotions of real life. In a protagonists centred screenplay none of the side- characters were let to shine either.

Most of the actors' actions and acting choices felt deliberate, so, the direction was off as well (Let's not talk about so, so many technical mistakes which shouldn't happen at this level, but are always superseded when the story-telling is honest, but sadly that didn't happen either) and the edit went no where with the pacing. A flurry of images followed by a dragging close up shot... there is no beat or rhythm to it and also infested with some basic and honestly sad, technical mistakes.

It's sad to see a platform, Anazon's Prime Video, which gave us Panchayat, Aranyak, Mirzapur, Patal-lok and many more well made Indian series, falling from it's grace, settling and spending money on weak projects and creators such as these.

I Could not find a story . The Story starts with an accident .The Lead Female character who is a private detective is trying to find out the killer . She travelled n no of times without any reason. She went to the different place for investigation but what she found over there is not displayed. It looks like she just went for timepass. The Back ground music is not matching with the scene. There is no link between her boyfriend story with the main story. Except the Lead Female character remaining character performance was good .But due to weak story , it's difficult for them to do something on it. She is a private detective but does not know the basic of investigation. I would recommend her to learn from similar kind of role. It's complete waste .
