Kull: The Legacy of the Raisingghs

Released on May 2 became the most watched web series at No 1 on JioHotstar .

It is a gripping portrayal of the dark underbelly of India's royal families, exposing the hollow grandeur and ruthless power struggles that persist even 70 years after independence. Despite the abolition of the Privy Purse in 1971, the series reveals how the Rajas and their progeny continue to wield power and influence, often through dirty tricks and money.

The web series masterfully weaves together the intricate storylines of the royal family members, showcasing their flaws, insecurities, and decadence. The character of the younger son, played by Amol Parashar, is particularly noteworthy from a psychological perspective. His complex personality, shaped by his father's rejection and his own struggles with substance abuse and relationships, is both captivating and heartbreaking.

The ensemble cast delivers outstanding performances, bringing depth and nuance to their characters. Nimrat Kaur shines as the strong-willed and calculating Indrani, while Ridhi Dogra brings a sense of vulnerability and determination to her portrayal of Kavya. Amol Parashar's performance, as mentioned earlier, is a standout, and he is ably supported by the rest of the cast.

The cinematography by Vivian Singh Sahi is stunning, capturing the opulence and grandeur of the royal settings while also highlighting the decay and rot that lies beneath. The camera work is masterful, using lighting and composition to create a sense of tension and foreboding.

The music is equally impressive, with a haunting score that perfectly complements the on-screen action. The background music is used sparingly but effectively, adding to the overall sense of unease and tension.

The series also commendably highlights the importance of constitutional norms and the rule of law, as embodied by the determined CBI officer Bhagwan Ramteke played by Ankit Sivach sent from Delhi to investigate. His reminders to the royal family that they are not above the law serve as a powerful commentary on the need for accountability and equality.

Kudos to the excellent direction by Sahir Raza , which skillfully develops each character's nuances and intricacies. The storytelling is engaging, with each episode ending on a cliffhanger that compels the audience to keep watching.

Overall, "Kull" is a must-watch for anyone interested in a gripping, thought-provoking drama that exposes the dark realities of India's royal families. With its outstanding performances, stunning cinematography, and haunting music, this series is sure to leave a lasting impact.

If you're a fan of medical dramas or just looking for a new show to , 'Doctors' is a must-watch.

Totally blown away by Sharad Kelkar's acting . In fact loved most of the cast - Vivaan Shah, Sarah Hashmi ,Viraf Patel and Farzeh Jalali and many others.

There could have been 1-2 less emergency situations which are shown. Apart from that I feel its a very well made and important show . The show is not one sided . It shows the doctors as human beings with all that goes on in their personal and professional lives and how these pressures impact them , their mental health. Also shows how money has started playing a role in the medical field. Writers have done a good job.

The end leaves you shocked and hence an urgent need for season 2 .

Its an excellent cute series. Story , acting , cinematography is superb. Direction is excellent. Director has done a great job in portraying the main character. It shows he is gender sensitive and has not pushed a macho image on the hero. Good to see that a boy can be shy, confused , unsure. In this patriarchal world its not only the women who suffer but also boys who are sensitive. Loved the sweet love story. Also good to see a confident , bindaas girl as lead .

Loved the song . The series challenges the stereotypical images of the hero and heroin. Its good entertainment . I saw all episodes in one go .
