Mordida de Amor

The Director has done a lot of hard work in this series which reflects from each and every scene of the series. The direction has its loose ends. Though the series at first takes good pace and puts audience in a suspense mode but at the end it leaves some loose ends which will create many questions among the audiences about the series and the consequences of the actions of the characters of the series. The acting of the whole cast is praise worthy. The editing is smooth. I think this series should have been released as a movie in theaters . I am sure it would have attracted box office collections. The Director has beautifully depicted the old lanes of Kolkata city and its bangaliana. Sikander Kher speaking bengali words reminds me of the tone used by Mithun Chakraborty in his hey days while pronouncing bengali words. Overall the series is watchable and enjoyable excluding some minor plot holes.

The story was greatly immersive especially the acting of the characters so yeah in short please watch this series. Now in long, story might be feeling too tedious and not well managed but this series age like a fine wine especially after episode 4 and most importantly you may feel this plot is some kind of a rip off, of any vampire Hollywood series or movie but actually it is just a story independent of its own. The perspective of who's on the right side and who is on the wrong side might be changing throughout the series and some characters might feel annoying at first but they indeed as this first season ends basically all become quite useful. Meanwhile the ending was the best part of the series with few hints regarding season 2. So yeah I think Netflix should start making its season 2.

It's a vampire-human love story wherein a rebellious lady vampire with a damaged tooth and underground abode falls in love with a shy dentist on the streets of Kolkata, something which is a strict no-no!!

Presence of a vampire slayer witch and her team of Cutmundoos add on to the complexity.

Full Marks For:

... Originality and intelligent desification of foreign mythology.

... Applaud worthy cinematography of old Kolkata lanes and houses.

... Good acting by the entire cast, but Adil Hussain, Tillotama Shome and Sikandar Kher simply outshine everyone.

The lead pair Tanya Maniktala and Shantanu Maheshwari share good chemistry and strong onscreen presence.

Question Mark For:

... No clarification of hero or villain. No moral message at the end of it all !!

Do watch it !!

Tooth Pari has been compared to the Indian version of the popular television series, Vampire Diaries, due to its dark and mysterious storyline.

Like Vampire Diaries, Tooth Pari is set against a backdrop of mystery and intrigue, with a range of supernatural elements and plot twists to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. The series also features a talented cast of actors from Tollywood (Anjan Dutta, Kharaj, Rajatava), who bring a sense of authenticity and realism to their performances.

One of the key strengths of Tooth Pari is its depiction of Kolkata, which serves as an immersive and atmospheric setting for the story. The city's unique culture and history are woven into the plot line, adding depth and richness to the narrative.

Tooth Pari features a stellar supporting cast (Saswata, Sikander Kher, Tillotama, Revathi, Adil), who bring depth and nuance to their characters, adding richness to the storyline.

Well, it indeed has an engaging story line that falls in the realm of vampire and human romance. Even though some of the dialogues are a bit over the top kind of that can make one feel that they could have been tightened up, but still the story has enough in it to keep one interested till the last. That 'enough' is the love story between a vampire and a dentist. There are so many shades of the characters involved that one feels captivated. Like Rumi, her tragic human experience, her frustration after breaking up with the doctor and engaging in more mindlessness with sub-insoector Pal, portrays her vulnerability and a certain degree of human like frailties. Reminded me of the saying: 'Perfectionism is a delusion that dangles like carrot for purists to romanticize while inperfectionism rules the roost as evergreen and trendy perfectionism.' If the makers decide to make a season 2 they must ensure the dialogues, in some cases, are more polished. All in all, this version was an engaging watch.
